  • Hmmm. One of his strings stops at the nut and another completely misses the posts, but I'm guessing that's because there are only two tuning pegs for four strings? I'm guessing someone pranked him by giving him that instrument? Must be a pain to tune that.

    Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux
  • Yep, precisely why I don't play kernel anticheat games.

    Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don't have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don't lose sleep over that decision.

    Do you use "mould" or "mold"?
  • I use both, they are two separate words, not one word with multiple spellings.

    Not sure why people are changing it. Yes, language evolves, but maybe we could all focus on evolving it in areas that actually need evolution?

  • I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it's basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I'm primarily a M&K guy.

    What are some adulting life hacks that you think others could benefit by learning about them?
  • If you have to deal frequently with toilets with flush sensors at your office (or really any public restroom), you've probably been grossed out by them flushing (and spraying water at you) before you're ready.

    As an adult, I learned that handle-adjacent sensors can be dealt with by hanging TP over them, and won't flush until you remove it as you're leaving the stall. Wall sensors (like one infamous office toilet I deal with) can be handled with a post it note placed over the sensor; I keep some at the office just for this purpose. In an emergency, sometimes spit-dabbing a piece of TP can stick it to the wall over the sensor, but this isn't as reliable.

    Just get into these habits when you use sensor toilets, and you'll never have to worry about disgusting flush spray from prematurely flushing public toilets ever again.

    When we finally get to a 4 day work week, will you be happy to see Friday go, or Monday?
  • Neither. I'd remove Wednesdays.

    Middle of the week off day lets you get all your errands done with little annoyance from or waiting behind the public, so you get everything knocked out and have your weekends 100% for you.

    More importantly, on a 4 day workweek with Wed/Weekend off, you NEVER work more than two consecutive days. Ever. It's fantastic.

    It's come up exactly zero times ever in my entire lifespan, and I'm in my mid 40s now and have been in hundreds, if not thousands, of public restrooms.

    LCD Steam Decks on sale. 64GB LCD (15% off - $296.65) and 512GB LCD (25% off - $336.75)
  • At those price points, it would make no sense to get the 64... get the 512. Unless you already have alternate storage sitting around ready to install.

    If you got the 64 with a 512 micro SD card, you'd be in for about the same money, give or take no more than $10. You may as well have the faster SSD instead.

    My steps, if anyone has to replicate. I'm not sure if everyone will start from here... it's possible that you already have the prerequisite installed from another game. But I'll give my fix path in case anyone starts from the same place I did.

    For me, what I saw to start: When running, a brief spin, and then about ten seconds later, a change back to the green play button. Complete no-go.

    My fix path went:

    1. Started in Desktop mode, for maximum troubleshooting flexibility.

    2. Going to Manage > Properties, I changed BG III compatibility option to Proton Experimental.

    3. Tried relaunching game... this time, an error returned that I needed to run the game along with Windows Net Desktop runtime (.net 6.0.20).

    This error had its own link button, but in case you don't get the link or error, but still want to see if this is your fix, the link took me here for the download.

    1. I added that downloaded file as a non-steam game in Steam, set its compatibility to Proton Experimental, then I ran it and installed it. (Note: For stuff like this, leave it in your Steam library after you're done with these steps... if you delete it later, it takes out the file path and it will stop working, and you'll have to do all this all over again.)

    2. Every person is going to get a unique directory number created for them in their file structure for this file. Find it by following the path in your file manager (default file manager is Dolphin): /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

    Then sort by "last modified," and the file folder you're looking for will pop to the top (it should say something like "last modified two minutes ago," "last modified just now," or something like that... because you just did this, so you know this is the correct one). Write this number down, it's the unique-to-you location id I was talking about earlier.

    Finally, go back to Baldur's Gate III and the Manage > Properties. In the launch options, paste exactly this command, except substitute your unique ID number in place of the string of Xs here:

    STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXX %command%

    (Note: there is a space between your ID number and %command%.)

    And if your issue was for missing the Net prerequisite, then this should get it running for you. Have fun!

    Asking as I recently subscribed to a community that is fed by a bot which posts pretty frequently.

    I subscribed to be able to mark the community to find it when I want to, but it's now dominating my subscribed feed due to volume of posts. If I could keep this one specific community from showing up in the feed, that would be the preferred solution. Thanks!
