It’s the equivalent of a fidget toy. Keeps the noisy part of your brain busy so you can get stuff done.

Thank you for the reply.

I’m just getting into these things. And immutability seems like a double edged sword.

I just started using Bazzite. It’s my second attempt at a Linux gaming setup (Pop_OS was first, Bazzite is working out much better).

What made you lean away from Bazzite, if you don’t mind expanding on that?

It’s only $99/ year!

Though you can only read it on registered devices.

I wouldn’t call mine experience a crash, more so my ability to focus starts to slip around 3pm and by the time it’s 7 or so I have real difficulty sitting down to enjoy any past times that take practice.

The Vyvance comes in powder filled capsules. Internet says you can subdivide them. But I wouldn’t without docs approval.

Shit, that’s a really nice idea.

I feel like I’m not a morning person and my work is pretty locked in 9-5. But we’ll see where we can go.

I have my initial appointment with my new Doc next week!

This will be high on my list of things to talk about.

Logistics Gang Rise Up!

I jumped ship to PopOS a few months back.

There are some issues, like Bluetooth not starting without some terminal commands, I think I have to wipe or otherwise mess around with my 1TB NTFS storage drive to mount it and stuff like that.

But all the games I’ve tried to play work fine.

CPU: 3700x GPU: 4090

It’s true, but Intel fucked around for years and now they’re finding out. I’m happy to watch them stew for a year or so before getting back on their feet.

There’s a bit of context here…

Pink Floyd’s The Wall. It’s a fine movie where the metaphor swings between subtle as a shadow’s whisper and blunt force trauma.

Derivative Angry Video Game Nerd Clone makes a “parody” of it, but misses an incredibly obvious Nazi reference. Which is not a good look as a white skinhead.

The fact he missed something so plainly obvious makes me laugh, a lot. It so clear he skimmed the movie looking for things to make fun of.

That is my second favourite thing to happen on the internet ever.

That’s a good reply, but even the pitch there doesn’t tell me anything about the class of consoles we’re taking about.

I am RetroDECK!

With all the love in the world, from one engineer to another;

Fix the docs!

I went looking for an explanation of what RetroDECK is, found this: https://retrodeck.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wiki_about/what-is-retrodeck/

And I kind of know how it works, but not what it does. (At least without clicking through to the ES-DE page)

Give people an elevator pitch as to why they want to download and use this software.

“RetroDECK brings the powerful emulation capabilities of ES-DE to the SteamDeck in one easy to install, easy to use package. Play your <exampleConsole1>, <exampleConsole2> and many more from your couch or on your TV with any controller you like!”

Something something ChatGPT can sex that up a little.

Or he had the same reaction as her. Had it explained to him and is now passing on the fun.

Uncertainty, really.

What distro works with my setup: 3700x and rtx 4090?

Yeah, I’m guilty of this tbh. It’s just the massive unknown of leaving something you’ve been so close to for literally the majority of my life.

It’s scary!
