Not a bad video game, but I thought I had zero chance of liking it. I bought American Truck Simulator for $2 and it’s such a good zone out video with something (radio/e-book/etc) on in the background. When I’m too exhausted to think, but want to be slightly more engaged than just throwing something on TV, it’s now my go to right now. I bought it on the most recent steam summer sale and have 20 hours into already. All of it on the Steam Deck.

First game I’ve 100% in a long time. I absolutely loved this game.

Seriously. I’ve never had a game pump adrenaline for me like Tarkov. Combined with the fact that over hundreds of hours of play in a wipe, I still feel like I’m making long term progress in every raid is just addicting. The core gameplay loop is just fun.

Give me a good dev who respect their players who can give me these things and there goes years of my gaming time.

I love Roguelikes. I love FPS. Tarkov is my favorite game, but damn does it squander it’s potential.

He mentions looking into contractors which is basically exactly this. Going through a 3rd party can make that process easier for short term needs, which is what he is saying the current situation might be.

Just got a steam deck and love it. I also got the official dock and can’t believe how bad it is. I have to unplug it and my TV half the time to get the dock to connect correctly. It works fine for a few days, then stops. I’ve had picture issues and audio issues and even issues with the deck right after disconnecting it.

It was 50 last night when I took the dog for a walk. I was too lazy to put on socks, so it was in sweats with sandals and bare feet. Was surprisingly easier on the feet than I expected

Just got one too! I tried right at launch time, eventually got locked out for too many purchase attempts while their servers were failing and had to go back to work. On whim, tried again 15 minutes ago and was able to get one shipping in 2~4 weeks. Soooo happy!

I used the first two, but just enjoy the experience of sync better. If sync didn’t exist, I’d be just fine and happy still. But I currently browse Lemmy 30 minutes to an hour each day, so $20 for no ads is something I’ll probably eventually pay for the hundreds of hours I’ll use the app.

Sync and Connect are the two apps I’ve used and both have the capability of doing this. Let me know if you need help finding the settings.
