Just like Evil Dead, it’s those damn Devil made phonographs causing all this ruckus!

Vampire Survivors, the breakout hit game on so many platforms now, has a full DLC based on Contra. It’s still very much on the minds of everyone who loves this stuff.

It’s easily the only thing that makes so many games playable on the Deck.
- Comment on Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face. 3 months ago:
It’s the only real way to push back that other folks will notice if enough of us do it.
Last time I went through DC a few weeks ago they were using these. I saw a sign saying you’re welcome to opt out. Nobody even questioned what they were doing and were just going along. When it was my turn I politely said I’d rather not do the scan. Dude just glanced at my ID and waved me through. The next few folks behind me blinked and said they didn’t want the scan either. If enough people push back it can at least maybe slow down the normalization of constant surveillance.

- Comment on Star Trucker delivers its chill mix of Euro Truck Simulator and Freelancer onto Steam and Game Pass this September 5 months ago:
I didn’t try it on my Deck but it ran great under Proton on my main rig. A little bare bones in the demo and the rates you run out of power/O2 and systems got worn out was cranked way up to show how it would work, so it wasn’t as chill as I was hoping. Full version should be a little calmer so I’m looking forward to it

- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 6 months ago:
Anecdotal like the rest of the posts here, but I recently built a new rig for gaming/lab testing and used a Gigabyte board for the first time in a decade after seeing good reviews and a solid sale price.
About 3 weeks after setting everything up it just crapped out. Would reboot seconds after you pressed power. Checked and verified absolutely every other part, no luck. Tried to contact support, got the runaround for a few days until I was directed to a site to submit an RMA request.
That was a month ago, zero movement still. About 4 days into it I bought an identical part of Amazon and “traded” em. I’m usually pretty ethical about that kind of thing but this was ridiculous and I needed the PC working ASAP.
Who’s decent anymore? I always used to go with MSI.

- Comment on efficiency 8 months ago:
I just got back into H3 a week or two ago and was caught off guard by the install size! Last time I installed 2 I had to disable a ton of map DLCs and rotate em out as I went to not take up most of the storage on my Steam Deck SD card.
They did an amazing job on streamlining things.

I guess it cuts the attack surface profile down a bit?

My groups new obsession is Vintage Story. Set up a server and we’ve collectively put in hundreds of hours over the last few months.
Help.

I swapped over to vanadium when I picked up a Mosquito a long time back and they’re all still holding up perfectly after printing tons of different materials.

Evochron, Dark Star One,X series (you may bounce off a few times but they’re extremely unique and deep games), older Elite titles, Freelancer!
To a lesser extent and a bit more survival crafty: Space Engineers or Empyrion with mods. Both have some additional community made content that adds stations/factions to progress against or for and are pretty good if a little janky.
- Comment on A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive 10 months ago:
It’s the pause in the flow of things to go get one and put it on plus difficulty finding the right size. Used em my entire life until my wife had an IUD put in. After a few ears she had it removed and going back to condoms was not super fun for either of us.
On the bright side for me, a vasectomy solved all these issues and was totally worth the minimal process to get it. This solution sounds like a dream honestly.

It really depends on what you want from your game. I happily spent hours in my lil hauler playing space trucker, and the only real thing that’s changed since then is I have access to bigger space trucks. I’ve been on a big exploration run for the last 80 or so hours of playtime and I’m enjoying being able to just relax and exist in my lil virtual spaceship. I don’t need to feel like a number goes up every session, but I’m a weirdo.

There are a few variety of that LED strip, and I use em for all sorts of junk. Just built a big backlight piece for my living room with maybe $80 worth. Look for WS2812 and you’re on your way to multiple varieties using the same chips!
