Use protondb ratings.

There’s a decky plugin that will show a steamdb badge on game pages (that also works as a shortcut to open the protondb page).

Or since they are right next to each other, it could be just one big touch surface.

The deck isn’t great, it works for some people, and is still really good for the rest, but the touch pads are pretty awkward for a lot of us. If the new valve controllers ergonomics are equivalent to the deck, it won’t be worth ditching the DS5 for me.

Thats because once discussion on something concludes, you generally make it law.

“Murder is bad” is very much agreed on to be a good thing. To me it is only logical for the next step to be “verbally encouraging or excusing murder is bad”, which might not need to be law, but it should at least not be state backed.

There is a difference between being allowed to say whatever you think, and having the state guarantee that whatever you have to say is actually heard.

Not being heard or listened to, is not a violation of free speech. Being removed or “silenced” online or even physically in public, is not a violation of your free speech.

Free speech is to be free to say whatever you like, but it does not protect you from what other citizens do in response.

If you insult someone, and they punch you in the face in response, your free speech was not violated.

“Hate speech” is a category of “opinion” that is obviously harmful that anyone thinking straight should immediately dismiss it. The problems have started because thanks to the internet, those “opinions” can now reach all the people who aren’t thinking straight.

For those who do identify hate speech easily, to protect those who don’t, by at least not propagating it (social media, government) is the bare minimum of what they can do.

Taking away the megaphone if someone is using it to encourage murder is not a violation of free speech. And it’s necessary.

With a megaphone, you don’t need to be right. You just need to be heard by enough people that the tiny percentage that will believe whatever you say, is a large enough group to be dangerous.

It mostly does.

As someone with big hands, I can’t use the touchpads comfortably without scooting my grip downwards in a way that makes it precarious and less than comfortable.

I have a similar problem with the Index controllers. My thumb is too long to comfortably rest on any of the controls if I grip the grip where you’re supposed to to be able to strap your hand in.

Good economics is supposed to work for everyone, and I’ve yet to try a valve hardware product that fully pulls it off. Maybe the first controller did, but I haven’t tried that one.

To me it looks like they’ve shoved the joysticks up where the trackpad is on playstation controllers. If they haven’t, that’s even worse.

There’s nothing below the joysticks on the playstation controller, because that area isn’t within comfortable reach for your thumbs.

Sure you can put stuff there, but bending your fingers there isn’t fun. That’s already true for some users when using the trackpads on the deck.

This seems like a prototype that they can make using the parts from the current deck.

I’m not sure the two square pads make sense on an actual controller, and I feel like those thumbsticks would be just out of comfortable reach.

API debacle. Relay went paid.

Added some features I was missing in lemmy mobile to Thunder, and been happy since.

One friend, my sister, and dad, also got lemmy accounts when I told them about it.

So it’s another way to pay fighters using the money of lenders?

What, is the government running low on funds?

And a one-year contract? That’s a little much for a small three-day operation.

Here’s hoping its crap off-road capabilities means it hits and gets stuck on the first bump.

For the mouse, I recommend G305. It’s wireless, but it lasts a truly stupid amount of time on a single AA. Just keep a spare in your bag and you will literally never have to think about charging it.

It has a fantastic sensor, and doesn’t break the bank. As long as the shape fits you, it should be good.

For keyboards, look for “tenkeyless” or even smaller. Tenkeyless can come with full size keys, while being smaller by dropping the numpad. Even smaller keyboards might drop the columns of keys with the arrow keys and home/end/page keys, the function row, or even the number row. Somewhere along the spectrum you should get down to something that’s about the size of a SteamDeck, or smaller, without making the keys you’ll actually use while gaming, smaller.

If you want to save on thickness and weight, consider LP switches. Low profile mechanical keyboards have become more available. These’ll be thinner and have shorter travel, but without going as flat as most laptops. They can be really nice, while also being way more portable than boards with full-height key switches.

I like them myself just for the ergonomics. A keyboard that lays flatter on my desk means less bending upwards and then back down in my hands and fingers when using it.

I use a G915 TKL, but that may still be a tad big next to the Deck. (And expensive)

Edit: I remember hearing good things about keychron. I don’t have personal experience so do some research, but that K3 and this K7 seem potentially ideal. They also have a bunch of other models.

Also it’s apparently already being completely destroyed by a cheater.

Perchance there’s hope for you yet! Despite this happenstance of negativity.

I will use irregardless to my dying breath. In fact I go out of my way to use dumb combinations of synonyms all the time, mayhaps, possentially…

You can also use alternate UIs, or apps.

I run my own photon instance for use on desktop, but you can use the official one to use any lemmy account with the photon UI.

It’s also what got me to finally go linux full-time.

I had tried to a couple times before, but always ran into one too many snags.

When the deck was announced I thought to myself “that can’t work with every game, can it?” as I’d attempted that myself.

But I had to see for myself, and the improvements in proton were staggering. And it’s gotten even better since! Who would have though Apex Legends, Hunt Showdown, and a bunch of other holdouts and anti-cheat games would be running on linux within a year of the deck releasing?

Someone in the playtest has to invite you.

You can ask for someone willing to do that over on !deadlock@sopuli.xyz. That’s how I got in.

There’s a bunch of planned but unreleased heroes still in development that might drop in an update at any time. They are already in the game in a WIP state, so you can find videos of people who have used commands to access that stuff in sandbox or custom matches.

Mirage was only just added, Valve doesn’t announce or elaborate much on what is coming when, they are basically adding stuff as it becomes ready.

Climbing ropes weren’t even in the game a few updates ago.

Ok, then it’s succeeding at two things.

I wasn’t commenting on the comedic merit.
