Company currently uses IPv6! For awhile firewall rules kept biting us as we’d realize something worked in ipv4 but not IPv6 but now I forget it’s even a thing really.
I once paid for a vpc host that was exclusively IPv6 and was shocked how many things broke. I was using it for a discord bot and the discord api didn’t even properly support IPv6 …
Is this the plot to beetlejuice 2?
Nice! Glad to hear it’s gotten better! I haven’t tried in a long awhile so I’m not surprised it’s fixed
I haven’t extensively tested it but I have been able to get it to work with both. I was also able to use a usb hub with a Logitech dongle for a mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard. On my flights, I’ll normally pair my Sony Bluetooth headphones.
All of it has worked seamlessly for me.
The following context is at least a year or two old, so I’m betting things have gotten a lot better since: I had issues when pairing multiple Nintendo pro controllers to the steamdeck. It would work and then suddenly drop one or both of the controllers. When using a mouse and keyboard with the deck, I’ve had issues when using game mode (as opposed to desktop mode). Frequently this resulted in my character looking straight at the ground no matter what I did. When in desktop mode, performance takes a hit and my games would drop frames occasionally. I originally hoped I could seamlessly dock this and play couch coop games. At the time this functionality felt mostly broken, but I’ve been told it’s gotten a lot better in later patches.
I have the older steam deck, but I still love it. I’ve used it for rocket league, a whole suite of indie games, Sifu, Like A Dragon, and a semi tolerable bg3 experience. Emulation is also pretty fantastic.
Just a heads up that CS2 isn’t super enjoyable to play on the steam deck. Unless you’re really good with the gyro aiming, you’re going to get wrecked. I also had some frame drops when playing csgo. It’s possible that that’s gotten better with CS2 though.
I’d stick with the old mouse and keyboard for those games unless you’re somehow playing with folks who also have steam decks.
Left the house for a walk in the rain with the wife. Lots of mountain bikers were out!
I agree! I’ve never been able to play the newer patch because I have the switch but I’ve spent many hours playing this game with the family!
CounterStrike 2 came out last Wednesday. Basically the same game as CSGO but with some quality of life and graphical updates. Might be worth taking a shot at getting back into it.
There’s some platforming but Hollow Knight is an excellent game if you enjoy metroidvania types.
If you have someone to play with you may want to give local couch games a try. I’m ignoring a few of your thematic dislikes because they aren’t really a critical part of most of these games.
Games like:
Lovers in a dangerous space time
Boomerangfu
It takes two
Untitled goose game (single player is also fun if you enjoy harassing people as a goose)
Unravel
Duck game
Portal 2 (single player is great)
Cup head (single player is also great)
I don’t see a problem with it but there’s definitely a stigma associated with it. (At least in the US) I think folks who pay are seen as not being able to find it elsewhere which may make them appear as not desirable to other people which then may make your partner question if they’re making a bad choice. Unless you happen to be in an area that has well regulated sex workers, I imagine people might think that you’ve been exposed to STDs which may give you a perception of being “unclean”.
I don’t think you should have to lie when finding a partner… but I do think telling them this (at the beginning) may be problematic for you for a lot of people.
I’d love to see sex work well regulated, protected, and normalized in the US but I don’t think we’re there.
So, I’m an amateur… but this was confusing to me. I setup the board as you instructed and tried to play it out. You’re right. The way you described it is impossible…
So! I grabbed a pdf of the book you’re talking about and you missed the first two steps of the solution.
Solution is as follows: (White trading rooks is a winning position with the pawn so far up field)
Next is where your part of the solution comes in… where it discusses that white should move the king farther up the board instead of the tempting Ke6 position. (Because Ke6 would allow the Black king to take the pawn and open the door for the black pawn to become a queen or a draw)
