We would sit around the fire pit taking turns zapping ourselves with the electric fly swatter. Good times!

I run the Plex DVR with my HD Homerun OTA tuners. It works pretty well. Certainly much better than MythTV DVR did

Yeah sounds like you want to do a system restore anyway. If you have individual files you need to save off the deck, do that. Just not system files

What is it? What does it do?

I see it’s a “fan control plugin” but I don’t understand what it plugs into or what it offers

Why is this ad posted here? The game isn’t even steam deck verified.

Yeah, I guess they were going for “engagement” or whatever metrics look good to the C suite pinheads.

But the actual racing with a properly upgraded and tuned car feels really good! So I enjoy the actual racing, and let the computer do the grinding for me lol

No but I am running Edge browser. Microsoft has a good walkthrough

This is so dumb, but:

The new Forza Motorsport has a system where you have to drive a car for like 3 hours before you’re able to upgrade all of the parts on it. Regardless of how many credits you have.

So I’ve been using xCloud to “play” Forza with all of the driving assists on—accelerating, braking, shifting, all of it—just to level up cars to the point I unlock all of the upgrades to that car. (Offline, of course. Not gonna mess up someone else’s game because of Microsoft’s weird ideas on progression.)

So “AFK racing” has been running on my Deck more than any other game this week.

How exciting! Did you find any other hidden treasures when you went digging?

Yeah I guess I don’t play many FPSs. I tried Civilization and just couldn’t enjoy it. And the limited time I’ve spent on desktop mode, I just kept yearning for a mouse

That seems crazy to me. If a game needs me to use the trackpad for anything more than occasional menu navigation, that’s pretty much a dealbreaker.

How’d you like it?
