I’ve been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.

Any naming convention is fine as long as it’s meaningful to you. But it’s a good idea to keep your own repos separate from the random ones you clone from the internet.
What I see is an inexperienced developer who instead of systematically debugging the issue keeps trying random stuff hoping that it will somehow work.
Don’t forget spite. The guy was always an asshole but when people finally started calling him out he got triggered and became a raging asshole. Now he thinks that he found his people but doesn’t realize that they hate him too, they just find him useful for the moment.
Thanks. I tried to make sense of it and experimented a bit with making the same ioctl’s mentioned but couldn’t get it to work. I either didn’t get it right or it’s something else.
Maybe I will take another look later but for now my workaround is to just fire up Baba Is You which idles at a low cpu use and then run evfwd with the grab option so that Baba no longer gets the input.
Yes, that works too with one fairly big caveat: for some reason the Steam Deck’s controller is not producing evdev events until a game is actually running on the deck. So evfwd is not receiving events while the Steam UI is active. I haven’t been able to figure out yet why this is the case.
If you want to try it you can start a random game on the deck and then fire up evfwd on the controller device and using the -g (grab) flag to avoid passing events to the running game.
Edit: while we are talking about the Steam Deck: when ssh-ing to the deck it can be helpful to turn off wifi power management to avoid lag: iw wlan0 set power_save off
I’ve been using VLC for folder based play of audio files. The UI is not ideal but it works well and the other apps I’ve tried didn’t work out for various reasons. Unfortunately the Android Auto version of the UI doesn’t have access to the folder browsing feature.
No idea if VLC has lyrics support for audio-only files.
It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.
Trump and his handlers just before the debate:
Handler: Mr President… (he insists on being called that by his people) - before you go out there I want you to promise again that you won’t bring up the thing about people eating cats and dogs…
Trump: yeah, fine
Handler: Remember how we talked about this? And how you promised that you won’t bring it up no matter what happens?
Trump: Yeah, fine, whatever.
I have little sympathy for people like the author who knowing all this continue to give content to that site. And I don’t care about their excuses.
If you don’t like that the new owner has turned your favorite pub into a nazi bar then maybe you should stop spending your money there.
I avoid giant boxes of minis so my biggest is A Feast for Odin. With the expansion it’s a pretty full box and I love every bit of it.
Smallest is probably Squire for Hire or Dragons of Etchinstone. Small deck games like the Buttonshy ones but in more compact folding envelopes. I also have a few Pack O Game games: DIG, ORC, BUS, maybe those are smaller by volume.
I picked this up about 2 months ago. Took me about 100 hours before I could put it down.
Backpack Battles. It’s an inventory management based auto-battler. Chill game and I like spatial puzzle a lot.
The game uses the Godot engine and it runs great on the deck. The UI is very smooth and thoughtfully designed.
A neat thing about the battle system is that it’s fully asynchronous. No matchmaking delay and it even works offline. I believe it works by preloading a number of opponent-builds at the beginning of the run.
Nice, now just another year to go while they fix it to run well on the Steamdeck.
Just don’t end up as the this guy

Too much if I am honest about it. Currently obsessed with DRG: Survivor and I’ve put in an embarrassing number of hours in the last couple weeks.
It depends. If there is any money on the line or don’t want to burn bridges then I’d do the smart thing, whatever that is. Otherwise I’d just skip it.
Picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a few days ago and I’m now 20 hours in, really enjoying it. It’s a very thematic translation of the original DRG into a survivor game. The terrain and mining are a great addition to the survivor formula, it’s not only for resource collection but it also gives a new twist to the positioning puzzle. The game seems very well suited for more content so I hope that it will keep coming.
I had similar worries about the AMD driver stability before I switched from NV about 5 years ago. But my experience has been great even back then and things have only improved since.
One data point to consider is that Valve is shipping the Steam Deck with an AMD AMU and stability and compatibility is paramount for that use case.
