Why surprisingly?

198X seems cool. I tend to play lots of older games on my deck too, mostly old DOS/Windows releases which can run with Wine/Proton or Dosbox for me.

Been playing a bit of Close Combat 3: The Russian Front. Picked it up from the summer sale and I’ve been wanting to try this series for as long as I’ve known about it (I think I read about CC2 in a gaming mag when it was new). Fun game but not the easiest to get running and nobody seems to be playing the games in this series with Deck of even a controller so I didn’t really find any controller mapping for it. WNot a huge issue since the game is fairly easy to control even with just a mouse.

I tend to play lots of strategy games and such that usually rely on the mouse quite a bit, the deck is such a great device for this use case.

What’s the maths for that 10%?

I dislike the huge cut Valve takes from all the indies but with everything they’ve done in recent years with the Deck and Index has still won me over.

Same as with IE in the past. A little better with most of the source being open but not much. I wonder how we could solve this issue since people obviously don’t care.

LOL. Yeah, not going to do that.

I can’t help you if you refuse to see any difference and don’t find this constructive with you at this point.

That’s really arguing about insignificant semantics just concerning the form and not the actual implications of the message.

At the end of the day it is just an opinion even if it is in the form of a direction because the one giving it has no real influence on or ability to make the readers do it and they know it.

oauth does exist, I think some fedi platforms do support it even.

There’s something to be said for this as well certainly but I do think the deck is still much better overall than will be required since they actually offer spare parts for sale for pretty much everything and repair guides too.

I think there’s absolutely things worth doing boycotts over. I don’t really like to have much to do with anything that is benefiting Russia for example. We can both have our opinions.

They’re just expressing an opinion just like the Lemmy devs have. (note: I have not looked into what their views are exactly so I’m not saying parent poster is correct)

Nobody is being forced to do what they suggest.

Well, people are also absolutely free to choose not to associate with, use services from people whose opinions they find objectionable etc. Nothing wrong with that.

Mastodon account also works as a backup since you can subscribe to communities and post comments from there.

It’s also got the biggest community covering the Russo-Ukrainian war: !ukraine@sopuli.xyz

It’s just not seeing objects that are very close in sharp focus. They always seem a little blurry for most people unless you’re farsighted.

Should be a thing for most people unless you are older in which case your eyes often lose the ability to focus very close (farsightedness) and then VR will work perfect for you.

Interested in alternate keyboards too. I have constant issues with the Valve one not appearing etc. and I think it is pretty annoying to have it tied to the Steam process, maybe that makes more sense for the game mode but…

Same goes for the trackpad settings and bindings being dependent on Steam. For all the work Valve has done on upstream apps building this stuff just into steam seems like a pretty bad design.

How does a list show up?
