  • Why just play on Linux, when you can also play on another Linux

    Jump

  • Considering I got my deck last week, not surprising

  • Steam Replay is out, share your deck stats

    Jump

  • If I had to guess, the game isn't gamepad optimized i.e. CIV 5, so the game is marked as a keyboard game.

    Just shows how well steam input works.

  • Are canadians friendly to people from other countries?

    Jump

  • I would say that Canadians are friendly especially from other countries. But it depends, and it's a massive asterisks on It Depends*.

    In general Canadians keep to themselves and don't like starting things. So we are either very friendly or at a bare minimum indifferent. Depending on the individual they may say things behind your back. (I've found some people here to be passive aggressive).

    However the further away from cities you get, the more people who you'll find that are not so friendly. They won't be actively hostile towards you but you may feel unwelcomed. The company I work with has a multinational workforce that assist older people in rural communities. And while most will not say it to their face (I hope). The racist/sexists/homophobic phrases I've heard come out from their mouths was surprising to me and is disgusting. This is sadly true for both rural Southern Ontario and the Maritime Provence's.

    I can't say much about the larger urban areas. From what I've heard, and seen blasted on social media, some people bring their baggage with them when they come to Canada. But outside of the rare aggressive/dangerous drivers in the cities, I haven't witnessed it myself.

    In general be respectful, be kind, and don't go too far off the beaten tourist trail and you'll be fine.

  • System76 Launches Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS With COSMIC Desktop

    Jump

  • This is a lot. Buggier than I’d thought it’d be.

    Tried to change the background color and it crashes the settings app. Search works for exact spelling only and not context or meta data. Search for image and music and you’ll get nothing.

    However there is a lot of potential and it’s what I’d install on a MacBook as an alternative. Maybe next release would be good.

  • Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon

    Jump

  • I see you too have a waste of retail space known as Best Buy/Best Buy Mobile in your community.

  • Mega Man: Dual Override - Official Reveal Trailer | The Game Awards 2025

    Jump

  • MEGA Man 2 is the go to and read strategy guides for the boss order.

    The games are hard and unfair, but mastering them is where the fun is.

    Also Make sure you have the option for a turbo button.

  • Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon

    Jump

  • I will not defend Amazon. But the lack of local retail/price gouging which is shipping in Canada keeps pushing me to Amazon.

    I need a role of 3D printable filament or an SD Card. The nearest store is 1-2 hours away and costs twice as much for the convenience, buying from the manufacturer may not possible and if it is shipping cost just as much as the product.

    I would love it if there was competition, but there isn’t and Amazon knows it. So for the most part I just buy from brands I know are safe.

  • What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?

    Jump

  • That’s not even past the prologue

  • What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?

    Jump

  • The oldest I can go reliably is the late 80’s and early 90’s.

    DuckTales NES, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, Puzzle Bobble.

    Once we start getting into the mid 90*s games start to get good.

    Chrono Trigger, Doom, Rayman, DK Country

  • Vast Number of Windows Users Refusing to Upgrade After Microsoft's Embrace of AI Slop

    Jump

  • Worth trying, though the new software is free and legacy affinity features are also free.

    Basically if you don’t plan on using Canvas AI it’s free. Otherwise it’s moved to another monthly subscription service.

  • Which Desktop Environment Do Arch Linux Users Prefer

    Jump

  • I like gnomes features but not gnome itself. Cinnamon is good, but has its faults. Plasma is better but is missing online features (calendar for example can’t be used to create events or sync with your cloud accounts). Really would like to see how Comic a desktop turns out when it’s ready.

  • Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth

    Jump

  • Shhhh, she might hear you and totally wasn't my plan.

    If my original Steam Controller dongle wasn't destroyed I'd totally test it too.

  • Deleted

    What game engine is the best for my laptop? and good for a total beginner?

    Jump

  • The OS will be your limiting factor here. Chromebooks I think lack support from most game engines for development. The industry standard is x64 with Windows.

    That said if you can install Windows or preferably Linux you’ll have more options. From a search though. Game maker, and Unity don’t support Arm and Linux, while Unreal Engine 5 and GoDot Godot appear to support it.

    Maybe in Windows you can get Gamemaker or Unity to work through compatibility. But honestly GoDot Godot seems to be the safest bet to get it to work.

  • These controllers worked on my friends system.

  • Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth

    Jump

  • My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.

    It’s no worse then my older consoles and the alternatives from Ayn or Ambernic, and the facts it’s being consider and worked on is a positive.

  • Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth

    Jump

  • Honestly I’m just going to treat it like my PS2. Just need to put my controller near the deck if I want to use it.

    If valve is working on it (which it looks like they are) it’s a matter of if than when

  • Thanks, no clue why it was so hard to find this, hopefully it’s something that’ll be enabled in the future.
