I found a large amount of the developer / programming reddits died, so I noticed a large difference but a lot of other subs there has been no change so it depends on what you are in.

If you have an Android download pdanet which lets you hotspot count as phone data. Also if you get a small hotspot but unlimited phone data you can turn it on and set the TTL or connecting devices to 65 (I think look it up) and it will think it's the phone connecting. Happy pirating

Is there any actual advantage to using spaces? I have seen similar posts for a while and as a tab user I don't understand why they are any better than just a tab

Don't claim to like Christian rock if you don't know who this is.

Very cool! Debating on remaking some heartbeast tutorials for Godot 4 (specifically the prodcederul tile generation with a walker and tilemap to 3d level + optimizations). Curious if people would be interested in that or not though, thoughts?

Sounds good, sorry if my posts were a bit excessive I thought 3-4 days was enough but considering this sub is tiny it does feel like a lot haha.

Christian (the dev of Apollo) has already said he doesn't plan on it, due to how difficult it would be snd the financial viability.

New pathfinding system, I use a procederul map in my dungeon crawler and previously needed to use AStar3D which was clunky, since old path finding didn't support building during gameplay. Now it does in addition to active object avoidance which is awesome, there are still a few big issues like not being able to set an avoidance radius per object it's per zone (meaning you can't have big and small objects pathfind in the same zones easily without colliding into walls or having to be extremely far from them)

Likes:

  • ergonomics: the device is extremely comfortable to use and having full sized joysticks is awesome!
  • controls, I find having trackpads make fps games actually bearable, and I will definitely ensure any handhelds I get in the future have them.

Dislikes:

  • battery life: pretty simple, in harder emulation and new games less than 2 hours hurts
  • CPU: I find only having a max boost clock even for single core processes (like switch emulation) only going up to 3.5ghz a major limiting factor, I think 3.5ghz is a fine target when all cores are being used but I would have liked to see 4ghz for single / dual core use.
  • weight: the device is heavy enough to where it can't be used without proping your arms against something which can be a bit of a pain

Planning on it for the most part, likely to use in conjunction with reddit if they reverse API decisions though.

No? Steam deck not on sale is $400 new for 64gb. Ignoring that he has to be charging for labour since ssd would be $60~ and micro sd card $50~ making a grand total of $510 without tax.

AI stuff works great on Linux (have personally run stable diffusion and large language models). Gaming is generally good but some games don't work on the platform (notably rainbow six, and valorant.)

Recently just finished the base difficulty story mode of Furi (amazing game highly recommended) and the lightning boss in Zelda tears of the kingdom.

It's really again just a giant douche vs a turd sandwich, both cards are shit value. 6700x is near the same price new sometimes cheaper on sale and crushes them, i understand Nvidia doing this since their cards have a monopoly but why amd would follow such rediculously high price to performance is beyond me when their ai scene is non existent so they don't sell many sever GPUs and opencl is shit compared to cuda, meaning their primary target for these releases is consumers. They do have a monopoly imo on apus however, but that's a different category imo.

They aren't, but doing this opens up desktop mode as a nested Wayland desktop giving it the advantages of Wayland, and since steam deck uses game scope to put each game into its own Wayland session it plays nice with steam and shows up as a normal game.

Depends where, sky islands / the majority of the map runs locked 30fps (ignoring sharer compilation), but bigger towns like gerudo drops it to mid 20s, and the lightning boss dropped it to low 20s. Still playable but not a great experience in those instances.

Yeah, most people set it larger for desktop mode or windows use, where the drivers don't auto allocate vram. Although as you said it seems many think it affects game mode which it doesn't.

Hmm, you don't think it would be off topic? Technically the pineapple version of early access could kinda be considered piracy but I'm not sure that would qualify it for the piracy sub

It should remember the device and not ask after the first time. As far as I know there is no way to remove the pin saddly though.
