We just need to add I2P directly into the client in a way that’s transparent to the user and all the problems are solved.

I know this is not what you’re asking for, but another really good resource is this: https://anonymousplanet.org/guide.html

Individual action cannot be a solution for the climate crisis. The whole idea of individual responsibility for climate impact is the divide and conquer strategy of big business as ultimate form of the collective action problem.

How well does plex debrid work? Been meaning to install it for a while.

I am, look at my username.

I figured out it’s because my password is too long. I changed it to something shorter, and now it’s fine.

I can’t login. :(

Just says invalid login. I copy pasted from my password manager so no, I didn’t get it wrong.

No harm in trying it out, none of the changes are permanent. I think it’s good, even just the swap increase is good as it alleviates memory pressure.

Maybe the long-standing SMT bug? Basically, when two threads on the same core are running, and one of the threads discards its cache, due to this bug, the cache is discarded for all the threads on the same core. This causes a temporary FPS dip.

A proper fix is due in SteamOS 3.5, but you can also turn off SMT by installing PowerTools Decky plugin to see if it helps.

Not familiar with PWM. I know it’s some anti-flicker tech, but nothing else. I’ve never noticed flicker on Steam Deck’s screen [edit: but I’m not very sensitive to it].

Steam Deck does have an adjustable refresh rate screen which can be set to any refresh rate between 40 and 60 Hz. It does not support VRR (real time adjustment), but usually you play around to get best FPS you can, then you lock the refresh rate to the same frequency (unless your FPS is below 30, then you lock it to twice the rate).
However, if you connect the Steam Deck to an external screen that does support VRR, Steam Deck is compatible and will work. Just not with the inbuilt screen.

Steam Deck has VSync on by default to prevent tearing, and it’s applied on top, to all games. You can optionally disable VSync by toggling the ‘Allow Tearing’ option in the quick menu.

I love Dubioza Kolektiv. They have few more bangers. I like:
Take my Job Away
Space Song

And of course, the classic (but in Bosnian):
Kažu

I concur. It changed the way I play games, especially last gen and indies.

Basically all major countries have Good Samaritan laws on the books. The only exception I am aware of is China, where people regularly get sued for rendering first aid.

I agree that streaming might be worth considering, but instead of Steam Play, which is quite meh, try Moonlight. That’s the client, and the open source server is called Sunshine. The performance and latency is much better. If you want to take it to the next level, you can add Tailscale to the mix for seamless streaming outside your local network/WiFi. As long as the underlying connection is fast enough, it tends to work really well.

I’ve gotten to the point where if somebody tells me that a game is 100+ hours, I consider it a con. I don’t want to dedicate the next 3 months of my gaming to a single game. And in my 20+ years of gaming, I’ve learned that no game truly has 100+ hours of content. Rather, they have 20 - 40 hours of content, stretched over the remainder of the filler in bullshit ways. These days, I’m ecstatic when I find a game like Guardians of the Galaxy. Tight, well written 20 hour experience that know what it is an what it wants to be. One and done. Love that game.

I hear what they’re saying, but I’ve just never heard of anyone trying to dismiss a game for being a JRPG. Sure, they have their style and tropes, and they aren’t for everyone, but I’ve yet to meet anyone who seriously claims that a particular game is bad because it is a JRPG, as opposed to a game simply being a bad JRPG.

It seems to me that between Sony, Nintendo, From Soft, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, and even, yes, Konami, Japanese gaming culture has had a huge influence on so-called Western gaming culture.
