I don’t think that’s how it works, but I’m too American to be certain.

I was just trying to be helpful. Some people might not know you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the device.

I don’t know of any system that does a better job of typing with a controller than the Steam Deck with the touch pads. Granted, I’m not a console gamer so I have no idea what typing on the current gen Xbox or PlayStation is like, but I can’t imagine it’s better than the Steam Deck.

You can also just get an actual Bluetooth keyboard and it should just work.

I have a 64gb with a large sd card. My recommendation is to get a 256gb. You will feel space starved with installing different versions of Proton, the shader cache(?), and the emulated Window’s user folders.

If you get the 64gb you basically have to get an sd card. If you get bigger then you might not ever have to if you play relatively small games and you don’t mind managing installed games.

ITT: people that don’t know what completely harmless means

I worked for several years in IT fields from help desk to sysadmin. I’m now a Sr. Software Engineer.

I somewhat disagree. With containerization like Docker our system is pretty simple. However, there are lot more bootcamp developers that learned to code in 12 weeks which are going to know a lot less than those with a Bachelors or higher in the field.

I’m on wefwef and I get a few posts. It’s likely the instance you are on hasn’t federated with that one yet.

As a dad with young children it’s amazing. I’ve convinced both my brothers to get one and several of my coworkers.

Even if you don’t have kids, being able to watch TV with the wife on the couch and play games is awesome.

My wife has been reading a ton more books after leaving Reddit. I’ve mostly switched over to Lemmy. I’m a developer and interested in tech; my wife not so much. So she hasn’t made the jump to Lemmy yet

I have a Google Pixel 6a. It’s probably pretty close to what you want from a iPhone Mini. It’s still a bit bigger than the iPhone Mini and I would like an even smaller version.

Rust is a very good language but is relatively new on the scene so it has to compete against other languages that fit the same niche(primarily C++) that have been around a lot longer.

Rust has been very popular for hobby projects for a while but it’s still pretty rare to see it for larger projects, and you still almost never see it for enterprise projects. So it’s cool seeing an app that uses it blow up.

I haven’t been here much longer. It’s been really cool seeing all of the communities pop up as users flood in.

Umm… No? There is no correlation between quality of user and their willingness to trudge through a bad UX.

Slime Rancher is great. My 4 year old loves it, Slime Rancher 2 is out on early access and is just as great.

It’s very unlikely that Lemmy will ever be as big as Reddit, but this influx might have it reach a tipping point where it can start to grow users organically.

Bored with the feeling of nothing to play.

I finished TotK, as in finished all of the shrines. I was planning a pokemon fan game on my steam deck for about a week but finished that too. I was playing Melvoe Idle on my phone for the last 6+ months but just 100% it.

I feel like I am growing out of video games a bit. Work and young kids make it hard to put energy in a game unless I’m really into it.

I just finished playing through Pokemon Infinite Fusion and had a great time. I played on hard difficulty and it was a good challenge. Lots of content with a fun central mechanic. I also played it on my Steam Deck so I got the handheld experience. It was a little buggy at times(though I guess that is expected with pokemon now 🙃)

Windows 11 for work, though I am getting a MacBook shortly. At home, I guess SteamOS? I have two young kids so I don’t get a lot of time to do much on my computer besides play games. If I ever need a desktop environment and don’t want to use my work laptop then I use my Steam Deck and load into the desktop. Previously I was using Fedora.
