I absolutely love Metroid Dread, sorry to hear you’re not enjoying it much.

I just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter yesterday, so I haven’t fully settled into what to play next. I think I’ll go through my installed games and try to finish some games I was enjoying but never finished all the way, like Ys 9 and 1000xResist.

Mostly Trails in the Sky First Chapter. It is possible that I just reached more demanding parts of the game, although the power usage have really changed.

Anyways it’s hard to say for sure, just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed something similar.

If you look at the 3d render, it has a dpad and second joystick. I’m pretty sure the 2d icon is just meant to be recognizable without all the buttons/details.

I have a Baseus 65w one, it can fully match the deck’s max charging rate of 45w and is pretty nice. It also can show what voltage and amperage it’s charging at, which is nice for identifying if something is fast charging or not.

Unfortunately it looks like it’s not for sale anymore, which makes me concerned that it might have the same battery cell safety hazard that forced Anker to issue a recall.

They have battery packs that can charge the deck at full speed, mine goes up to 65w output which is plenty to max out the deck’s 45w max. I can even use it for a dock with accessories.

Here’s another video on it that goes more in depth: https://youtu.be/CJXp3UYj50Q

Basically the SteamOS version gets better fps in most games while also have way better battery life. Lower power games would get 2x the battery life when fps when both versions were targeting the same settings/fps.

Basically windows naturally has more overhead than Linux, which really impacts performance/battery life in low power games. But vulkan also typically outperforms directX, so many directX see a noticable performance increase on SteamOS as well (although some amount of this performance gain can be had on windows as well by using dxvk).

Good catch, results didn’t seem suspicious because Linux has had major performance improvements over windows on previous handhelds.

People do pick those classes, when there are riots you can see some social justice pyromancers for example.

To be fair once you make a word from an acronym, it doesn’t really matter what the pronunciation of the individual words was.

There would have to be limitations on how many people could get paid for some degree types. It doesn’t do society much good to foot the bill for degrees that don’t have actual related job opportunities. It could maybe work where just heavily needed jobs get wages paid, while other degrees are only offered under the current system.

Another thing here is that this would be another form of taxes used to directly benefit businesses. If taxes pay to educate a lot more employees for a job market, the companies in that market would directly benefit by being able to pay lower wages. I wonder if we could do a different system where companies could offer sponsorships for specific degrees in exchange for employment, similar to how ROTC works.

Yeah there’s always a risk of getting a really hard to handle kid/cat. Some kids are just at easy, but others aren’t. There’s also a risk of suddenly have twins or triplets and ending up extra overwhelmed.

Yep, 6. After you have several it’s kinda like “how much harder could it be to have another?”

Part of it is that minor changes can be incredibly disruptive to our personal lives, while having no meaningful effect on the bigger picture.

There was a movie (About Time I think) where this lineage of guys can time travel as some inhereted ability. They have a strong rule within the family though to never time travel to before one of their children is born, because the smallest change can result in a different sperm/etc and finding they have completely different child when they return to the present.

I didn’t really want kids, but my wife did, so we compromised and had 6.

Jokes aside I found it super fulfilling, I had struggled a lot with depression and feeling like everything was pointless, but raising kids gives me a purpose and makes mudane stuff like work feel meaningful. I definitely get what the comic is talking about, it’s rough a lot of the time, but it was what I unexpectedly needed in my life.

I’m trying to look for it, but having trouble finding it.

I vaguely want to say that it was also maybe related to having pending downloads. It was like if you were playing a non-steam game, the sleep process would trigger the deck to start downloading again, interrupting the sleep. Once sleep was interrupted the game would start running again and downloads would be paused, making it seem like the deck failed to sleep for no reason. If you didn’t have any downloads pending, the deck would go to sleep fine even in a 3rd party game. Unfortunately the deck frequently has a couple mini-updates available whenever you close a game, so this bug happened pretty often.

Once again steam games didn’t seem to have the same issue, and downloads would stay paused through the sleep process so it didn’t get interrupted.

This might have also been related to the decky plugin “pause games” actually, the more that I think of it.

Right, I just know the past issue with sleep failing would happen like 75% of the time with non-steam games, but almost never with steam games. Not sure what the cause was, but I had to wait 5-10 seconds after putting the deck to sleep to see if it would wake back up.

As others have said, it’s probably that the deck +keyboard is taking too much power, so it’s powering off your keyboard. I use a 65w charger for my dock so that there’s extra power available.

Is it happening in all games? There was a similar bug in the past, but it primarily affected non-steam games for whatever reason.

The main update for BG3 recently was adding a native Linux build to improve performance. If your performance got worse instead, you can revert to running the windows version instead. Go to steam game properties>compatibility>force a compatibility layer, and pick a proton version.
