Excellent

Sick!

I dug into this a bit and couldn’t find and easily locatable guides to setting this up on Deck (at least, not without disabling the read-only protections of the system), and I ended up finding Boxes, made by Gnome! It didn’t seem to want to download Debian on its own, but I just downloaded it from Debian.org and it was installed in like 10 minutes! Couldn’t believe how easy it was - and all with a single flatpak app! 😃

Thanks! Definitely true about the reinstall! I guess in my case I worry it’ll cause a hard crash right when I’m too kaput from a long day to go troubleshoot, and just wanna drop into a relaxing game before bed, ya know? Like at that point I’m just gonna sleep early and fix it another day lol. It’s nice to have an ultra-reliable gaming rig around, and without tampering with CSS the steam Deck is certainly that!

The artwork plugin is another one I hadn’t used, since I figured I’d have to find & sideload images on my own – I didn’t realize it has crowd-sourced submissions to pick from!! Makes it infinitely worth installing!

I’ve been resisting installing decky since my last (LCD) Steam Deck ended up a bit janky from too many mods 😅 but this post inspired me to make the jump and install the CSS loader for the first time!

I leaned super hard into the OLED’s blacks and picked red as an accent, since saturated red really ‘pops’ on an OLED screen. I think it turned out pretty nice!!

Love this!

Not the gel packs!!

Ootl?

Grew up in southern Idaho. Yeah that’s pretty much what I experienced growing up, too!

Wasn’t just admitting wrongness that was seen as weakness, though - honestly I came to find that most empathetic, society benefitting behaviors are spun and contorted into a weakness.

Ironic to me that, at least thru my eyes, spinning stuff like that into a “weakness” indicates to me that they’re avoiding the work they’d need to put in to be better… Which, is the real weakness here!

I think a significant portion of the problems in the US stems from a lack of willingness to work on themselves, aiming to minimize their impact on those around them (and thus themselves, through societal proxy). On the contrary, people install loud ‘mufflers’ to show they don’t give a fuck. Or leave carts outside the corral. Or scream at fast food workers, display flagrant racism, refuse to wear COVID masks - whatever.

Good ol Golden Rule really would solve it all, I think.

Dude!! What a badass concept, cannot wait to give this a shot!!

Imagine the chads at valve actually respond to the gimp 3 release by announcing HL3.

bonus points if they use gimp 3 to make the thumbnail

Ah shit, seriously? Congrats!

If you haven’t already, you should really play half life Alyx now! It’s an unforgettable experience in VR, so if you can hold out to play it in a headset you should!

If not though, there are mods out there to switch it to a standard flat-screen FPS. But I don’t think the experience would be nearly as cool!

This is actually the thing that originally triggered me into wiping my windows OS and switching to Linux a couple years back. Unbelievable that I can put my machine into long-term low power mode and minutes later windows is like ‘lol, did you mean to click update??’

Can’t believe how much better Linux is for 0$.

🤣🤣🤣

Ah shit this is SO cool! Do you do like sound design or something with this? Or is it just fun to goof with and see what you can make?

I found a super basic 8-bit version of this sort of thing that works in the browser and had lots of fun just finding weird sounds to make!

Haha! Good eye! I bought those back in 2021, during my first time here to visit my gal’s family. They were so cute and happy we couldn’t resist!!

Really! I’m surprised to hear it - I have some 1440p@60fps gameplay captured off my brother’s NVIDIA replay and the deck struggles to keep steady enough to do stuff like pan & crop. Did you do some proxy schenanigains to get steady editing performance? 🙂
