  • This sounds great. I've been looking for a group of people to just chill and play games with. My normal group and I don't really line up well with our hangout times.

  • It checks to see if there are duplicate files and only moves over the .epub if it exists. If there is no epub then it moves over the .mobi or the az3w file since those are the big ones. that usually get downloaded.

  • Same here but 80fps. It's been a great time.

  • A MaM account, a bash script that qbittorrent runs after it finishes a torrent and calibre-web-automated. I know there is some download automatic cwa plugins I just haven't bothered.

  • We use calibre-web-automated and have Kobo's that we can sync with it. It's fantastic.

  • List of Made in Canada Advent Calendars

  • We went to a local cheesemonger and they offered an Advent calendar. We are very excited for ours!

  • People with 8BitDo Ultimate 1/2 Controllers, how is the ergonomics?

    Jump

  • I just got an ultimate 2 and it's nice, but I prefer my DualShock 4 ergonomics. I will however get a steam controller over this because of the touch pads.

  • Darn Tough sock alternative?

    Jump

  • We still do the warranty through darn tough themselves. Mailing the socks in has been fine.

  • When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?

    Jump

  • I played Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip and laughed multiple times in the first few minutes

  • Favorite Kim Stanley Robinson book?

    Jump

  • Right!

  • I finished the first of the Mars trilogy. I just found it for the most part very boring. I started the second but moved on to other books. I'm sure I'll finish them but they just need to be after things I desire to read more.

  • How do you manage your Steam Deck as a family device?

    Jump

  • One install is fine! you just need to add it as a non steam game for each different steam account! (assume save progression doesnt matter as much)

  • VirtualBox 7.2.4 Released with Initial Support for Linux Kernel 6.18 - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • I've been too lazy to rebuild my windows work VM in something different and never really had any issues with VirtualBox. I know there are better solutions out there I just can't be stuffed.

  • How do you manage your Steam Deck as a family device?

    Jump

  • I have an 8 and a 7 year old who both have their own steam accounts as child accounts within my steam family. Both of them have access to a profile on the steam deck(though I have 2 decks so they can each use one at the same time) and they for the most part just work.

    The steam user profile changes but the account the steam deck runs on doesn't. So some things stick around. Controller pairings and the like just work. Steam profile specific configs need to be done multiple times for each user (steam input custom mapping, etc) but I try and mostly stick to deck verified games for my kids because they really do just work.

    I had a dock for a while and it also just kinda worked. But I didn't have to do much tweaking. The dock broke after a while though(jsaux not valve) and I never bothered to replace it since I ended up just installing moonlight in my tv and sunshine on my gaming PC(also Linux).

    I don't have any experience with heroic launcher, but I did set up prism and Minecraft on their profiles and it just worked with the right deck compatible mod bundle.

    The biggest issue I have found is sea of thieves will default to whichever the last signed in account is on any profile, so I just signed into it on my daughter's account and don't play it on the deck myself.

    Docking it made it a bit more complicated for us as well, mostly because the kids don't know much about the tv inputs and honestly getting them set up would just take me a few seconds to turn it in, grab the charged controllers and get them to the home menu so I never really bothered to teach them it. But that's a non issue unless I buy another dock at some point in the future. They both prefer to be in mobile mode on the couch anyways.

  • Question for people running default Androids

    Jump

  • I have a stock pixel 10. I mostly just ignore it because I have so much more shit going on in my life that needs my attention. The last thing I want is a more complicated phone. Also it's a work phone so it's free for me so I just try and keep personal stuff to a minimum on it.

    Google provides functionality for me and my family. Sure it would be nice to be able to trust that my data is mine. But Google photos is great to keep my family photos all shared with people who want to see them. Maybe when I have lower life overhead or Google really makes things bad for me would I consider taking on more technical responsibilities for my privacy.

  • Are there actually any good mobile games?

    Jump

  • I play a game called townsfolk that's pretty fun but it's free for the basic stuff but a one time purchase unlocks a bunch of content.

  • Valve's CS2 Update adds Paid Skin-Offer-Gambling - YouTube 3kliksphilip

    Jump

  • I'm torn. Valve has been so good for Linux gaming. They made a handheld console that emphasizes real ownership and the right to repair. They generally make good decisions when it comes to things and while they do take a big cut of game sales, their platform has so many features it's crazy.

    This gambling thing though really sucks. I get that they need to monetize, but I feel like they could get away with just selling skins, or having the loot boxes being a free daily play reward that drops things that could be sellable on the marketplace. No way to buy a box like this. Just earned for free through play.
