SteamOS (and Linux gaming in general, thanks to Proton) is absolutely great and has been for at least a year or two now. The reduced overhead and lack of update bullshit honestly makes it better than Windows gaming in every way, IMHO. Getting it running on non-Steam Deck mobile hardware is likely a bit of a chore, though. Frankly I don’t even understand why anyone would waste time with the competitors.

BG3, yes it’s as good as everyone is saying it is.

Also Pikmin 4. The game is a cozy puzzle/strategy collect-a-thon, I highly recommend it.

terkaz, do zapytajszmer w Tor a Vpn

Ja jestem laikiem, ale nie są to dwie różne metody anonimizacji ruchu? Chyba nordvpn ma nawet serwery vpn+tor. Vpn tuneluje ruch przez serwer dostawcy usługi, więc jakość i bezpieczeństwo połączenia zależy głównie od niego. Możesz mieć nastawienie typu “płacę i wymagam”. Tor tuneluje ruch wielokrotnie przez sieć węzłów, które są w większości maszynami amatorskimi, z przepustowością o różnej jakości. Ze wzgląd na swój społecznościowy charakter nikomu nie możesz się poskarżyć na jakość połączenia.
Poza ukrywaniem ip, vpn może oczywiście służyć do współdzielenia danych w wirtualnej sieci lokalnej. Tor natomiast oferuje usługi ukryte z pseudodomenami .onion.
Podsumowując: jak za darmo to bierz Tora - darmowe serwery vpn i tak są przeciążone i wolne jak Tor, przy czym nie darzył bym ich zaufaniem. Jak masz fundusze i musisz zachować anonimowość, to warto sobie wykupić vpn.
Sprawdź też, z czym te usługi działają, a z czym nie. Ja kiedyś czytałem, że p2p nie jest dostosowany do pracy z Torem (coś, że tor działa na protokole tcp, a bittorrent na udp).

I think there are three vectors going on:

  1. It’s apparently a super good game. I’m just basing it on reviews, I won’t be playing it until the PS5 version launches.
  2. It has nudity and is being described as “super horny”, so, you know, clickbait.

  1. They are having problems getting it running on the Xbox Series S, and that’s blocking it from being released on the fully capable Xbox Series X. So nerdrage/console war clickbait.

dom,

You’ve also missed all the hype about the lack of microtransactions. That one is pretty big.

And the bear sex. Although you’d think a sub bullet of point 2, I think its less horniness and more absurdity and “you can do anything”.

It’s the modern equivalent of “see that mountain? You can go there.”

“See that bear? You can fuck it”

It’s not REALLY bear sex though, it’s a druid who SHAPESHIFTS into a bear…

I was a bit taken aback that, at a certain point in the game during a celebration, neutrality with most companions meant that they all wanted to fuck my brains out. O.o

terkaz, do zapytajszmer w Gdzie kupować ubrania, żeby nie pochodziły one z "sweatshopów", czyli żeby pracownicy godnie zarabiali, i produkcja nie opierała się na wyzysku?

Sam chciałbym wiedzieć. Tzn. jeśli chodzi o samo przetwarzanie surowców, to odpowiedź jest prosta: wybieraj szwalnie z krajów, gdzie pracownicy mają zagwarantowane prawa, choćby z Polski. Produkujemy sporo bawełnianej odzieży w przystępnych cenach. Jest trochę marek obuwia (nagaba, kaiteki).
Gorzej ze źródłem surowców. Większość producentów zabiega o ekologiczne certyfikaty, nie o Fairtrade.

You might still be able to use it if you carefully superglue back the plastic part.

A more permanent fix would be to replace the SATA connector and solder a new one by someone with the proper skillset.

The important parts are still in good shape, don’t throw it away!

mom,

Having all pins present, I wouldn’t be surprised if the drive still gets detected while bending a SATA cable back juuuuuust right so its connector makes contact with the pins.

Considering this is the data portion of the SATA connector I’d be worried about data integrity all the time 😬

@SenorBolsa@beehaw.org avatar

I’ve used computers for years like that, also these card edge connectors are pretty standard and can be easily replaced by anyone who can do basic soldering.

Kuvwert,

Hmmm I could risk it and try the hero move here…

lotanis,

If it’s dead then it’s no risk, right? Afterwards it’s either working or still dead.

ono,

Seconded. If OP lives anywhere near a city, there’s probably an electronics repair shop within reach that would solder on a new connector for less than the cost of a new SSD.

On top of some of the commentary here, I’d like to add that I think there’s a real chance that WoTC’s put some money behind getting it heavily reviewed/boosted, and so more articles about it and wider attention. That is not to undercut its quality, just that I think its layers of support. (I’ll admit there’s more than a little bit of my distrust of WoTC in that. Like after all their other scandals they need a win to try and suck newbies into the game after so much messing up. And I don’t even mean in the last year or something, their release quality for 5e has been abysmal for a long time.)

Additionally Larian played the early access thing very well. Not only did they listen to their ongoing players, and even netted some “tried it didn’t like it” people back, it gave time for everyone who was perhaps too into the older isometric BG1&2 titles (like me) to realize the game didn’t seem quite like it was for them and not pick it up. So you get clear, mostly good(if outdated) information out there for people to use in researching if they wanted to buy it, helping to avoid a lot of the knee-jerk hate that stuff like Fallout 4 and 76 got from misplaced expectations that could dull the release.

Steady hand with a soldering iron and that could be salvaged, good luck!

First step, you need to enlist. A soldiering iron will be issued to you, there will be many like it, but that one will be yours…

It’s that simple.

LetMeEatCake,

Most great games never get anywhere near this much buzz.

I think it’s a product of the genre. BG3 is in the CRPG category, which had a bit of a resurgence lately between Pillars 1+2, Pathfinder 1+2, and (perhaps most relevantly) DOS 1+2. Good games in an existing category of game helps build up buzz in that category and more players. More players creates more demand… but there hasn’t been that much being made in the CRPG bucket lately.

Then, on comes BG3. It fits in that bucket. It has much higher production values than the other recent games in that bucket. It’s got one of the most valuable CRPG IPs attached to it with Baldur’s Gate. And it’s reportedly amazing as a game on top. The last part wouldn’t get it anywhere near this much attention on its own, but in conjunction with the others it’s gotten lots of buzz.

I also feel like Larian handled the early access part really well for keeping the game in discussion without making the game oversaturated in gaming circles. They got a lot of “free” (not actually free, but you know what I mean) marketing out of that.

HidingCat, do gaming w Steam Deck VS rivals

I'm not a Linux fan, but even disregarding the OS (SteamOS vs Windows), the fact that most of these "killers" don't come with touch pads of any kind makes them an instant loss. So many PC games use a mouse, I'm not using a fiddly thumbstick in its place.

Squirrel,
@Squirrel@thelemmy.club avatar

Without the trackpads, the Steam Deck would be considerably less useful. They open up a huge variety of games that would be practically unplayable with sticks alone. Disregarding them simply for more power is foolish.

HidingCat,

Yes, and funnily enough, also makes running Windows worse, since it's so mouse-driven. Why'd they do stupid decisions like that?
