  • Each time I read “Trump orders”, “Trump does X”, I always ask myself: “Wait, can he do that? Congress? House? Judiciary? Cheks? Balances? Hellooooooooooo…?”…

    … but this is still the first few months of his second term. At this pace, he will be a literal king in a few more months.

    A scary prospect to say the least, and I hope it’s not too late for America to do something about this. This should not be normalized. This cannot be normalized.


  • Even if it isn’t that… that’s not how you change your position on something.

    The normal way would be:

    1. Admit that you are changing your stance on something (Zelensky is not a dictator, even though I previously said he is)
    2. Refer to something that changed your position on the matter (“When I said he is a dictator, I did not know that…”)
    3. Explain how it changes your view (“This new information has convinced me that…”)

    But saying “Oh, I said that?” is just… dumb and pathetic. Not that it’s surprising, coming from him.


  • I had the most fun with Vampire Survivors - addictive, relatively short bursts, but suitable for longer sessions. Dirt cheap.

    I also liked MultiVersus… before it became a micro-transaction filled abomination. The core gameplay loop is still great tho.

    General recommendation: Pick single player games from 3-4 years ago and back. The ones you were really interested in when they came out, but did not yet get around to playing them. Due to their age, they are almost guaranteed to run well on Deck, and they provide hours upon hours of fun. That’s my strategy at least :)




  • Thanks for the tip, and yes, I can do that, I can check logs, but the point of my post is to have some information that a less experienced user can access and get a clue on what to try next.

    BTW in the case of RE2remake, the solution was to switch the game to the beta branch, redownload it, then launch it again - it worked, but I only know this, because of a post on the Steam board of the game. Here is where a blanket error would come in handy (“try this, this, and this, then switch to beta and try that, etc.”), if there is absolutely no information about the nature of the error.
