Random Crashes
  • Crashing has not been an issue on my deck. I'm 3 days shy of my 2 year anniversary with my steam deck. I can recall it crashing maybe 3 or 4 times, each of those linked to some custom game launcher and all in the default mode rather than desktop. For a while it used to hang when woken from sleep, but that hasn't happened in 6 months so I assume was fixed in an update.

    I'm using desktop for emulation and games from GOG and Epic.

    How the right wing defeated socialism through petty rentiers and what to do about it (slightly uk specific)
  • Interesting. I was brought up in the '80s and '90s thinking I belonged to the middle class. Tory-voting, Daily Express-reading, shares-owning parents, father a professional with his own business, living in a safe, blue seat.

    It took me many years to realise that I am in fact working-class. The social mobility my parents thought we had has been quickly disassembled for mine and following generations, and despite having a 'good job' with a reliable employer, I live hand to mouth and can never dream of even saving money, never mind investing in shares.

    From your post, I can now understand why my parents thought they were middle-class Tories, despite one of them growing up in a hugely deprived town with a very basic education and the other being an immigrant.

  • Do plants die of old age though? Now that question has been put in my head, I need to know.

    Be back in a bit, going down a rabbit hole.

    What game, book, TV show, and/or movie do you wish you could experience for the first time again?
  • I played the game back when it originally came out. Like any media based on a book, it was slightly frustrating for a while that the graphics didn't match the visuals I had imagined whole reading the book. I still have the discs somewhere, might see if I can get it running somehow. I suspect I'll find the game mechanics to be clunky but today's standards.

    I'm surprised there hasn't been a movie made yet.

    What game, book, TV show, and/or movie do you wish you could experience for the first time again?
  • Other people who've read it and who I've talked with seem to be split over whether the first book is better than the sequels, or the other way around. I prefer the sequels, my wife prefers the original. Do you have a preference?
