Öoo was a nice quick play. Logic Bombs is a brutal puzzler with a fantastic Gameboy rom included.

Hey, speaking of “early lcd models”, how is your power button holding up? Mine is getting flaky. Have to press it a couple of times, maybe tilt it a little, to get it to work.

Go to bluetooth settings, and tap on each of your paired devices. There is a (probably brand new) setting to Allow this device to wake the deck.

Heroic’s installed as a Flatpak, right? Any path that flatpak doesn’t actually allow out of the sandbox is going to be inside the sandbox.

find ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl -iname games

Clair’s default graphics on Deck are unbelievably ugly, doing the SteamDeck=0 thing is mandatory. I was never great with reaction games, so the slight framerate loss means I go from “missing counters 98% of the time” to “missing counters 98.2% of the time”. I’ll take that.

Haven’t tried these out on a calibrated six year old, but some that I liked which might be in the ballpark are Tinykin, a Short Hike, Smurfs Vileleaf, Loddlenaut, Lil Gator Game, Little Kitty Big City, Costume Quest, What the Golf/Car.

Luanti is all the minecraft a kid needs these days

I think the xray is from ifixit? I nudged trimming it until the port and volume up button lined up just so.

I don’t think that systemd has a whole lot of sleep-management architecture that does what you want? What it does have is the ability to do “suspend-then-hibernate”, which would suspend for some set time, wake up, and flip over to hibernating. I’ve set that up on Debian (not too hard), Ubuntu (pure hell), haven’t tried on SteamOS.

What you want is technically possible without changing the hardware or firmware, but I think it would take an unreasonable amount of systemd coding.

I don’t think that dxvk is a thing that you’re supposed to pull in on its own. Any recent version of Proton (and especially ProtonGE) brings its own up-to-date copy of it.

Or, you might want to go to the studio’s original title, Sunshine Heavy Industries. It’s pretty much just building spaceships out of legos.

It’s more than enough to make HL3 a Steam exclusive. And make it run well on the Deck. If Valve really wants to gild the lily, they could put a little side-story just for the Deck’s controls. A follow-up to Aperture Desk Job, perhaps.

If y’all want your own copy of Tunic, it is available in a new itch.io charity bundle.

What’s wrong with “cp -r”?

As far as “having a second SD slot to facilitate the copy” goes, Anker makes decent card readers.

Try messing with ~/.var/app/io.treetubeapp.FreeTube/config/FreeTube/settings.db , in the “bounds” line.

It doesn’t look like Freetube had a --fullscreen option, so you can’t tell steam to just do that.

Steam’s “immutable” system isn’t that bad. It will revert a lot of stuff during OS updates, but Stable doesn’t go through that very often. I put all of my changes into a shell script and reapply it when that happens.

Add anything with sonic in the name. Like SRB2:Persona.

The best place to buy Samsung cards is from Samsung’s site, the best place to buy Sandisk cards is from … Western Digital. Sometimes they even have sales that approximate Amazon.

It’s pretty safe to assume that you will get a real card from the horse’s mouth.

Apple’s solution is to integrate a heating strip with the glue. Put some power into it, and the glue warms up and releases.

If you want to read within Linux, Papers is touchscreen-friendly. KOreader is probably the best touchscreen experience, once you get past its awkward but incredibly configurable interface.

My eyes are too old to read on the Deck’s screen, personally.
