It’s Not Hard For A Billion-Dollar Company To Credit An Artist From Time To Time

The companies who own these games never bother to credit the artist

I guess I’m a bit confused here. Every film I have seen in my entire life credits the artists, and many games do as well.

Some games that make for some fun coop and don’t require a ton of screen time. All of these are at least gold rated on ProtonDB so should be fine on the SteamDeck, though I’m not sure about crossplay with consoles on any:

• Sanctum - An interesting combo of first person shooter and tower defense (Sanctum 2 was also real good)
• Borderlands 1 - Looter shooter with some solid humor (Borderlands 2 was also real good, but goes downhill in later games)
• MechWarrior 5 - Who doesn’t want to be a giant mech riddled with guns?
• Left 4 Dead 2 - Fight together to escape zombies, or in multiplayer servers work together as the zombies to take out other humans

Now, less of a focus on shooters:

• Golf It and Golf With Your Friends - Put Put golf taken to extreme levels
• Magica 2 - Murder enemies together in a top-down wizard game
• BattleBlock Theater - Jump over obstacles and solve puzzles together

There are companies that do freight forwarding. Much less dodgy than random person on the internet. Would be worth checking out.

Yeah, your suggestion is the only thing I could think that would even work, but honestly, it’s probably more trouble than it is worth.

An alternative which doesn’t quite meet the requirements, but will be much lower effort would be to format the drive(s) as exFat, which both Windows and Linux can read without issue. Then put them up as a network share in both OSes.

If you are wanting RAID 1 with those two drives…this won’t work unless you are either using hardware raid (maybe you can set it in your bios?) or if you can find a software raid that both windows and linux use. For RAID, maybe just pick one OS and that will be the one that has the share.

I would also recommend against the SSD caching idea with all this other stuff in the mix, wait till you have a dedicated NAS PC. You are going to pull your hair out otherwise.

OP, do you have an old computer, even an old laptop? A NAS doesn’t require much computing power. You can plug your drives in via a SATA to USB adapter. Then you will have a dedicated NAS box and all these problems get 500x easier.

Valve needs to start banning games from their store for retroactively breaking Linux support.

Valve did recently mandate games will have to share if they use Kernel Level Anti-Cheat. If nothing else it allows people to better see what games want to own their systems.

If you play with your friends, the shitty anticheat situation means you may need to keep Windows around.

Highly suggest the new Factorio expansion with friends. Game is a shitload of fun and there is no anti-cheat BS.

I have never found HDR to be helpful. Every time I turn it on it seems to think what I want was not better colors, but for all my colors to be extremely washed out on every screen.

Yeah, I made the switch to Mint recently and have been pleasantly surprised with how much of a non-issue it is. Open steam, hit install, hit play. Game runs.

Only thing I had to do was enable a single checkbox in steam to enable Proton for Windows games: “Enable Steam Play for all titles”

Everything in low earth orbit (LEO) decays and falls back to earth due to drag; as there is a very, very small amount of air there. The starlink satellites are all in LEO.

Space junk is mostly a problem higher up. In the higher orbits, old satellites move themselves to graveyard orbits; places where nobody really wants a satellite.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

This would be my suggestion. Get a mini pc or dongle and use the TV simply as a display. Internet connected TVs are never well supported.

Also, highly suggest disconnecting the TV from the internet. They don’t get security updates and they are notorious for spying on people’s viewing habits.

Of course not, who would put a power button on the back or bottom of the computer? Front, side, or top are the places it goes for almost every computer out there.

As long as no vents are blocked, should work fine. Anything with a fan is orientation agnostic.

but you expect them to disable USB devices waking their computer?

He expects people to turn off their computer when they are done with it, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to expect. Apple is deliberately making it harder to use this computer in a way many people use their computer.

This was the reason they made the API changes. They wanted to charge for easy access to the content. Sure, you can scrape every Reddit page, but nobody has time for that. Pay up and hoover down Reddit comments for you AI training.

Why the hell do they have so many employees in the first place? You don’t need so many people for the few products they offer.

Remember when a new major version meant something major changed?

Was nice as it prompted me to go read change notes. Now I have no clue when it’s a collection of minor things or has actual major changes unless I go read every set of change notes.

Iran would be putting those civilian casualties on blast if they existed. They don’t, which is why Iran is complaining about Iranian soldiers and destroyed Iranian military targets.

What Iranian hospitals or schools did Israel hit?

Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year. These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. Simultaneously, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran. Source

Yeah, it is one of the few sources on military matters that know what they are talking about, are able to explain how systems work to the reader, and cite their sources. Been one of the few places I go check for the news myself.

Peter Zeihan also provides excellent geopolitical analysis.
