Samsung can eat my dirty asshole.

I’ll have to take a look!

I absolutely love a good fountain pen. My everyday carry is a LAMY Safari. I prefer a matte dark black ink such as Platinum Chou Kuro, but it’s quite expensive. I stick with Monteverde cartridges for my Safari for ease of use since I take it everywhere. They’re black enough to suit me and it dries rather quickly for less smear. Someday when I get something really fancy that stays at home, I’ll probably use Platinum Carbon Black, as it’s half the price of Chou Kuro, though I may just pony up for it.

Wouldn’t ya fuckin know it, today we were in luck. We had made a purchase at the beginning of the month that was supposed to be partially refunded, but they wound up refunding the whole thing. Gave us enough to get a little medicine and a new tip for my cane! Sadly it’s only enough for a couple days, but at least I’ll have sanity and be able to function for a bit.

Fucking awful. I haven’t had my medicine in weeks because I have no money because disability is dragging their fucking feet. Can I please just die now?

Looks like Untitled Goose Game.

You got $30? Some of us are so poor that even $30 has to be planned and budgeted for. And most places want all $30 for the year up front and won’t split it up into monthly payments. Not everyone can just plop down $30 at a moment’s notice.

Congratulations? People pirate for a variety of reasons. No one reason is superior to the other. You gonna tell us you’re vegan and use arch, too?

Yeah this post seems kinda sus considering how many times they’ve avoided saying what game it is. And not wanting to use Steam at all? Steam is the one corp you can still have some trust in. I see a post like this and it reeks of them doing something most likely illegal in a bad way, or they are a bad actor trying to fuck with our shit again. Either that or they’re a weeb that’s too embarrassed to name the furry porn game they’re looking for.

My laptop is pretty dang portable. It may not fit in a pocket or what have you, but I carry a backpack anyway. And does windows provide emulators? I just pulled up a huge list, right on Discover Software Center and there are at least a couple different emulators for every major (and even some minor) console, handheld, arcade, and even a DOS emulator for DOS games. Hell, I even have Space Cadet Pinball on this thing. Yeah I’ve pirated on windows, and it’s not as easy, unless you’re talking about music production software, but that’s a whole other beast. Don’t get me wrong, Steam Deck is awesome and I would love to get one, but $650 is a hefty chunk of change for a lot of people, and considering I’m trying to save up for a Framework, I’m not interested in spending that kind of money right now.

Fuck the MPAA

I didn’t even buy a Steam Deck, I just switched to Linux, which is essentially what you did, just expensively.

Yeah, but practice makes perfig perfect.

Laughing? More like yelling.

Thank you so freaking much. I’m just getting started learning all this stuff and you’ve made my searching much, much easier. Sorry if I seem kinda wired— I’m already mainlining coffee for this undertaking!

Thanks for the info! Hopefully I’ll have less issue because the machine I’m on now (the one I’ll be Linux-ifying) is all AMD. I’m trying to do away with Windows in my life, but I have a well-curated collection of games, some of which are m+k only (like Bitburner) and while once I get a Deck that’ll be my main gaming platform, I still want to be able to plug a controller into my computer and blow some shit up.

Completely new to (just started looking into using) Linux. Steam Deck runs on Linux, so why is it so difficult to play games on Linux? I understand a lot of people probably don’t want to use Steam for one reason or another (pirating, access to games not available on Steam, etc.), but for those that aren’t anti-Steam, what gives?

You’re doing god’s work.

Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime!

Oh, absolutely. But even most small shows are done through Ticketbastard these days, unless it’s like some backyard or county fair type thing.
