This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

@sclyde it’s neat. Xbox has it too.

I hadn’t been using the #SteamDeck’s resume feature very much for the longest time, but it’s really so convenient; especially for games with a longer load time.
Being able to just pause / turn off most games (always connected games will disconnect) and quickly resume at any time is so nice.
@mmiasma I can't remember dates either :( :( :(
I can't emphasize enough how incredibly well #farlight84 plays on #steamdeck !!!
It's perfect with gyro and rock-solid 60PFS never dropping.
I've not had the same luck docked as the controller hasn't felt as smooth. But on handheld? WOW! What an experience! I got MVP here in that team that seemed to be 3 Turkish friends playing and me who sneaked into their team. #gaming #gamingonlinux

Related to my latest video: people pointed out that Visual Studio is a major IDE missing from Linux, but available on Windows and macOS. Well, macOS is losing it as well, Microsoft just announced they would discontinue it for Apple’s OS.
I guess they won’t bring it to Linux any time soon, then (especially since they would argue that you can use Linux using WSL, and run Visual Studio on Windows at the same time)…

This is amazing https://www.animatedknots.com/
A very very small part of me is tempted to change the switches on my affordable Chinese mechanical keyboard, but the rest of me is saying "don't be silly! It; 's fine."
@Standplaats_KRK LOL! :) I like this.

Starfield on Steam Deck (day 1 early access)
@hackernews@die-partei.social self driving vehicles is hugely transformational technology for many. People people who are disabled or old will gain a huge amount of independence. We should be rooting for driverless cars, not going against them.
Is it all perfect? No. There are challenges of course, some technical and some social. Driver jobs will decrease over time. But I still think the benefits will vastly outnumber the drawbacks.

Impressions: Starfield’s sheer scale is already giving me vertigo - Enlarge / We are all but specks amid Starfield's vast cosmos.

A key insight that’s helped me understand why dealing with others can be frustrating is that many people don’t practice basic forms of critical thinking.
• Empathy: putting yourself in the shoes of others to anticipate or understand how they’d react to your behavior or decisions.
• Cause & Effect: if you do X, it will cause Y and people will react in Z way. People failing to understand the incentives they or the system they’re in have created is a surprisingly regular occurrence.
