Dump configs to backup drive. Pray to the machine spirit that things don't blow up. Only update when I remember. I'm a terrible admin for my own stuff.

I've always loved the idea of this game but always struggled with it. But in feel like playing with friends would make a difference.

I try and post, but I feel like I'm always slow to the uptake and people already say the things I have to say. But I do make sure I vote as much as I can.

I use sway, and for the life of me can not get steam link to display my games. I have tried so many things. If I use flatpak steam it works, but it breaks remote play together, which works fine not flatpak! I can get them both to work with KDE Wayland as well. It's frustrating but also not a huge deal.

I use my personal computer as a work PC. But I run a VM for the work stuff. It's great.

This is the same for me and my family. It's such a great feature to have and worth not seeing ads. I feel like supporting the platforms I use is important to me.

This is a great feature! I can finally have both my kids play whatever game they want at the same time.

Hate is a strong word. But I have never really cared for it. The content I have watched felt like it was the trillby wearing "um actually" kid writing his own edgey story. And something about the yelling outbursts I have seen a few times make me want to curl up and die.

My wife works at Starbucks and we have an espresso machine, so not a lot.

I have been using Sway for ~2 years now without issues. AMD CPU and GPU. I am not super particular about input lag and stuff, but I haven't noticed any issues.

I have a VM that runs windows for my work stuff and it has no issues I play video games via proton without issues either, other than having to muck around with a few titles launch options to unset my SDL video driver I stream to twitch periodically when I am bored and it works well by using the obs vkcapture plugin

I keep getting lost! But then I find secrets I walked by and vacuums I can pet so it's worth it. But the colours can be really difficult. I find I use the flashlight quite a bit while exploring. I've been playing half on the OLED steam deck and the other half on my PC(standard LED) and the colours seem better on the steam deck.

I'm having a weird issue with baldurs gate 3 and am hoping I can get some advice.

The launcher works without issue but the game itself never opens a window. I can hear it launch and play, but it never actually renders a window. Even in gamescope its just a black screen.

I am using AMD+Mesa with Sway as my WM. if I do a swaymsg -t get_tree it shows the launcher window, but nothing for the game window so its not on a different or invisible workspace.

anyone else experiencing an issue like this?

EDIT: I managed to resolve this issue with Steam flatpak. Odd.

 

I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.
