Haven’t personally used it but I heard there is a native Roblox client for Linux called Grapejuice. Might be worth looking into to solve one problem. I have no idea if it’s good or not but here’s a link: https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice/

Good night.
Shout out to this post for reminding me about Pocket City 2 releasing for mobile. It’s a really solid mobile city builder like sc2k! And it’s $5 so it’s not filled with ads and micro transactions. I forgot it released and I hadn’t checked it out yet.
Thanks for linking! Didn’t even think!
Used to be a big Nova user, but since I found Niagra I’ve never gone back. It’s just way too clean and simple. It drastically reduces the amount of time I spend opening apps on my phone and I don’t have to think about how to do the optimal home screen layout or set up app drawer categories.
For me right now, Shadows of Doubt. It is an early access game and it’s got a fair bit of jank, but it’s crazy how unique it is. It had a week or so of popularity and then it fell off. The devs just released an update for it too!
If you like the immersive sim genre, might I also recommend Cruelty Squad and Gloomwood. Those two have very unique aesthetics and really cool mechanics.
Probably Big Screen. It’s multiplatform and free!
In the same exact boat as you. We have Mediacom or one DSL. They gave me a really good deal for the first year on my 1gig, but after that it’s going to be about $140 a month. To make matters worse too, the wiring in my apartment building is REALLY old, so the service cuts out randomly sometimes (All tenants in the building are on splitters sharing one cable with the apartment across the hall.) And of course the landlord said that Mediacom was trying to trick me into spending more money and he would absolutely not run new cable. Internet in rural areas of the US is a total shit show. My connection is somewhat stable now, but I can’t wait for something else to come to my area.
And yes I looked into Starlink, my building has a strict NO PUTTING UP ANTENNA policy.
And yes I looked into Mobile Carrier Routers and the fastest I can get is 50mb download with a data cap.
I feel your problem on a spiritual level.

Interestingly abstract! I wonder what AI made this? My guess is Bing AI or Stable Diffusion! It’s a little hard to tell with abstract art.
I would highly recommend not buying the Steam version of Cave Story and instead downloading the open source Cave Story NX off of FlatHub and other such repos. Cave Story+ on Steam has been abandoned by the developers and they stopped updating it despite releasing countless better versions on other platforms. Definitely not worth paying for an inferior version, but if you have to play on PC you’re better off playing this updated version of the original.
Really hoping for a new Legends game. Legends Arceus was the first pokemon game I felt the desire to finish in ten years. It was so unique and interesting. It was very very very rough around the edges, but here’s to hoping that the smaller scope could make a game that’s more polished than Scarlet and Violet and maybe a bit prettier too.
Honestly at this point I almost feel like the only way a Pokemon game with decent graphics could release is if Gamefreak outsources the development.

Thanks! It was fun trying to design what the backs and sides of the buildings could look like. I never realized how many windows Oak’s Lab has!!!
Maybe! This was a one off project, but I enjoyed it enough to keep going. I imagine once I make enough of the tilemaps into 3D objects it would be pretty easy to fill out parts of the map. I’m debating if I do continue if I want to go systematically by doing Route 1 next, or if I should just do major areas and not worry about connecting them. Height is also a concern since the original game uses fake height, but in 3D we can use real height.
I’ve personally ran a few FOSS games on Deck. Typically if you want them to work automatically in terms of controls you have to add them to Steam from Desktop Mode and then go to the community controller configuration. MOST games from the FOSS community I’ve tried had some community bindings, though keep in mind that for some more obscure ones you may have to do some heavy lifting yourself and make a control scheme. It’s also important to note that Steam uses the name of the application as a means to connect it to Community Control Schemes, so if you change an applications name or if the application recently had an update and changes its name every update, IE: (Game 1.2) to (Game 1.3), Steam may lose the ability to tell what game it is and show none of the Community Control Schemes. Ones you’ve already downloaded will stay however.
I can’t say I’ve personally ever done any dual booting on Deck, but I know that it is fairly straightforward and works quite well. The only thing to keep in mind is this is unsupported by Valve, so Game Mode’s excellent sleep mode won’t work and instead it will do a laptop style sleep mode. Other deck specific features may be broken as well.
In terms of patches, there is no super unified way to tell what’s up to date. If you go to the Steam Deck website and go to the news section, you can read the patch notes. https://www.steamdeck.com/en/news I’m not super concerned with being on the bleeding edge for my use case with the Deck, but I have heard that recent updates have brought the deck to a much more recent version of Mesa for example.
One last thing to remind you as well, Steam OS that comes on the Deck has an immutable file system. (I assume that’s why you are asking about other OS installs.) While you can get under the hood very easily, you should be aware that any OS update will wipe anything installed outside of the immutable file system, but you still will have readily available access to reinstall it once you set a root password for the first time.
Hopefully some of this info is useful!
Wow they blocked wine? That sucks wow. I bet that means Steam Deck compatibility is a no go now too huh. That really is too bad.
