  • Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I’m sure people have valid reasons if they’re using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things “Linux.”

    Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren’t aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.

    Even Valve’s own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they’re being extra conservative with those. I’ve gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as “unsupported,” but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.

    ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn’t heard of it.

    But yeah, it’s almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.



  • I feel like everyone is talking about this as if it was a PR thing, but I imagine these guys (and their families) started getting death threats immediately after. They could be getting specific threats about violence at their upcoming concerts. Now isn’t really the time to not take that kind of shit seriously unfortunately. Yes, it’s right-wing terrorism. Yes, it works. Unfortunately.

    I see this as being more about self-preservation, and the safety of their families (and fans), than about PR. But maybe I’m wrong.


  • Yes there is. It’s called: stop being a religious ethnostate. Maybe try being a secular, Democratic nation that doesn’t literally have an apartheid system.

    South Africa was able to do it. Are you saying, with all of the funding my country is sending Israel (on my dime, by the way) they can’t do what South Africa did in the 1990s? Sounds like a bullshit excuse.

    Stop buying the propaganda. Both Netanyahu (and Likud in general) as well as Hamas have great interest in preventing a one state solution. It is of one of the few shared goals that they can agree on, and they have been doing everything in their power for decades to prevent that from even being an option on the table.

    And they’ve been wildly successful, as people balk at the very concept of rebuffing religious nationalism in favor of secular democracy with a one state solution.

    It’s the only possible way to achieve any kind of lasting peace in the region.








  • I haven’t used mine with PC (I usually just use an X-Box One controller, which was my fav prior to DualSense probably), but it’s a shame that more games don’t use the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. It’s used relatively often and pretty well on PS5, and for me it’s a borderline killer feature. If more games utilized it in the way Astro’s Playroom did (yes I know it’s a tech demo but that’s kind of the point), it would be far and away my favorite for any system.

    Haven’t had issues with battery life, but taht could be because I’ve updated firmware, or maybe the PS5 is just better at managing the DSs’ battery since they’re made for eachother. I also got the official brand charging dock, so perhaps that has something to do with prolonging battery life? Couldn’t tell you.
