            I’ve been eternally cursed by the “it should just work”, especially in the world of Linux. For every game that launches fine with no support listed, there’s another that lists Steam Deck compatibility and I can’t even make it to the loading screen.

            I’ve tried half a dozen OSs with Proton over the years at this point and every time I turn the corner after explaining my setup, someone whips around telling me my entire setup was never going to work in the first place and I should have been using this stack instead.

            I’m just tired, so usually, I’ll put about 30 minutes of effort of trying random bullshit from ProtonDB before realizing my time is worth more than troubleshooting a video game.

              Really? Damn, I can’t remember the last time I tried launching a Steam game and it didn’t work. What are you trying to play?

                Most recent example was Horizon 6. 4 and 5 run without a hitch and the world looked really promising. Made it over the first crest of a hill and crashed every time. Tons of missing textures in the 7 seconds of gameplay I got to see.

                I refunded it and got 007 instead and I think I’m having more fun with that than I would have with Horizon anyway.

      The pain of steam is that i love grinding at achievements to show them off to people but i don’t like playing videogames with people so i don’t really have anyone to see or appreciate my achievments. But then again, i’m doing it for myself 😄

    I turned off those notifications years ago when someone was apparently messing around with a game for a few days. Was getting spammed so much lol

      I set myself to invisible at all times. My friends can message me if they want to do shit but they don’t need to know my status at all times. Too many motherfuckers messaging me the instant I appear online.

    At least I know I’m not that person. I don’t like being stalked so I keep invisible on always.

    It’s especially cool when it’s your coworkers during the workday and they are not answering your messages.

    It’s more like a domestic argument. You know they are fighting with each other and maybe trying to change things, but it’s not working out. And you just don’t want to get involved or reminded.

    How does the Deck factor in here? Does it ping my friends I’m playing the same game every time I take it out of sleep?

    OTOH this is how I find out about fun new single player games (my favorite type of game) since all of my friends are more unemployed than I am and find the good shit before me.
