Yeah I have a gaming laptop and I haven’t used it since I got a steam deck.

I didn’t know ‘abomination evolver’ was a game category but it sounds great!

Hurrah! I don’t download much - I don’t have a lot of screen time and I tend to play games slowly - but I also have slow internet, this is great for me. Don’t know why steam deck didn’t do this before but I’m glad it will now.

Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, got bored about ten hours in and put it down, played Prey (which was fuckin great!) then I went back to cyberpunk and got the taste. I’m almost 200 hrs in at the mo and loving it. Got a couple more jobs to do then I’m starting the Dogtown stuff. Impressive how well it plays on steam deck.

That looks pretty versatile. I guess people are still wary of unity after they shit the bed a couple of years back? This seems like a plausible alternative.

Given the state of my teeth, I’m not far from that anyway.

Market gardening isn’t so bad, people gotta eat. But yeah, if you’re cutting lawns you’re going to suffer when the economy shits the bed.

GTA Bangkok you’d be stuck in traffic the whole time. The tuk tuks would be cool though.

I’ve had several times a cat has run out in the road in front of my car, and would have gone under if I hadn’t stopped quickly. Happily I’ve not hit one, few close calls though.

Are there enough users here to make that worthwhile?

At least he got a response. A while ago I clicked on a bad link when drunk and lost control of my Facebook account. Zero response from meta. Wankers. It’s unfortunate, I’d like to delete the account as there are some unfortunate photos of me on there from way back. I guess I will forever be visible wearing my ex’s lacy underwear and gripping a can of strong cider. Ho hum.

I’m guessing the noose wasn’t only for the benefit of outsiders. Most communities probably had one or two selfish people.

TBF the penguin is kinda hot.

Ah gotcha thanks.

Amazon eliminated side loading? I’ve been using calibre to convert books to azw and transfer to my Kindle. Always worked fine for me. Unless they pushed out an update to break this?

Thanks for that, I’ve saved your post for when I switch. My laptop runs windows 11 but I’m not enjoying the experience. Used linux a bit in the 90s but I’ve forgotten everything and will have to start from scratch. Yep, when I get some time I’m going to make the jump.

Mate I think you misread it again.

I had a song intermittently stuck in my head for over a decade, couldn’t remember the artist, song name, or any of the lyrics. I only had the genre, language it was in, and a vague, memory-degraded description of a music video. Over the years I’d tried to find it on search engines a bunch of times to no avail, using every prompt I could think of. ChatGPT got it in one. So yeah, it’s very useful for stuff like that. Was a great feeling to scratch that itch after so long. But I wouldn’t trust an LLM with anything important.

I’m surprised no-one has asked an LLM to produce a plausible version and just released that, claiming it’s a leak.

TBF it requires minimum effort from the ai. Efficient.
