I always say that my only ask is that the first section of pipe coming off of the platform is straight, so that I don't get thrown off the pipe when riding it in. Otherwise, I don't really care what people do most of the time.

At those price points, it would make no sense to get the 64... get the 512. Unless you already have alternate storage sitting around ready to install.

If you got the 64 with a 512 micro SD card, you'd be in for about the same money, give or take no more than $10. You may as well have the faster SSD instead.

Exactly. Read the OP's question in the title and immediately thought the answer is "Literally any other restaurant."

I especially like that the duck has built in leg compartments (as dude's leg/foot should be popping out from under the wing instead of not being visible). The legs get tucked into the duck for comfort and style.

I'm going to be exceedingly gracious and assume that the one person who downvoted your comment (as of the time I'm typing this) accidentally hit the wrong button and didn't realize it.

Are you on Windows 11?

Regardless of how your touch typing improvement project goes, be sure to get a good mic. Voice typing has come a long way, if you work in circumstances where you can speak aloud. It's usually faster than my touch typing most of the time (not that I'm a blazing fast typist, but still).

Ah, yes. Siork. My absolute favorite brand of canned mac and cheese.

Approaching 50 as well. Definitely need to get more active, I just have some physical issues from old injuries and conditions. I know I can find something to increase my activity though. Biking, swimming, something out there is doable.

Ah, yes, just an average Tuesday in Florida.

I love mine so much that I didn't bother replacing my old laptop after it died, I just bought a dock, pulled an old Bluetooth mouse and keyboard out of storage, and the Deck is my daily driver now.

I have fantastic experiences playing mine. I recently upgraded to the OLED and gave the old LCD to a friend, and now he's addicted to PC gaming as well. We play stuff every weekend, opening Steam voice calls is built right into the UI and it's a fantastic experience. If you are thinking about getting into gaming, or gifting one to a gamer, I can't recommend it enough.

This is the image you use if you are attempting to have Disney and Nintendo lawyers trample each other in their mad dash to the courthouse to sue you.

I trained in Tang Soo Do for almost 5 years in my 30s, before I hurt myself (an injury not related to martial arts training). I've been wanting to get back into it in the years since, but haven't been able to for various reasons.

I really enjoyed the training. I kept in good shape, and became very close with the people in my school.... I still talk to them occasionally today despite having moved out of the area some years back. I enjoyed practicing the various techniques, pushing myself to my limits... I would highly recommend structured martial arts training to anyone.

That being said: martial arts are a LAST defense... they are NOT the go-to defense.

If you're attacked, especially by multiple assailants, RUNNING is what you're looking to do. Your self-defense skills are primarily there to CREATE an opportunity to flee, if you don't have one immediately available.

Life is not a 1960's kung-fu movie, and you risk a lot by trying to stand your ground when you don't have to, so fight is rarely the correct answer when presented with a fight-or-flight scenario. It's better to not be in that mindset.

 

To stay in compliance with weekly Lemmy AI image memes, here this is.

 

No, you're not imagining things.

It's security footage of Sailor Moon stealing from a Target whilst eating a fried spaghetti sandwich.

 

My steps, if anyone has to replicate. I'm not sure if everyone will start from here... it's possible that you already have the prerequisite installed from another game. But I'll give my fix path in case anyone starts from the same place I did.

For me, what I saw to start: When running, a brief spin, and then about ten seconds later, a change back to the green play button. Complete no-go.

My fix path went:

  1. Started in Desktop mode, for maximum troubleshooting flexibility.

  2. Going to Manage > Properties, I changed BG III compatibility option to Proton Experimental.

  3. Tried relaunching game... this time, an error returned that I needed to run the game along with Windows Net Desktop runtime (.net 6.0.20).

This error had its own link button, but in case you don't get the link or error, but still want to see if this is your fix, the link took me here for the download.

  1. I added that downloaded file as a non-steam game in Steam, set its compatibility to Proton Experimental, then I ran it and installed it. (Note: For stuff like this, leave it in your Steam library after you're done with these steps... if you delete it later, it takes out the file path and it will stop working, and you'll have to do all this all over again.)

  2. Every person is going to get a unique directory number created for them in their file structure for this file. Find it by following the path in your file manager (default file manager is Dolphin): /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

Then sort by "last modified," and the file folder you're looking for will pop to the top (it should say something like "last modified two minutes ago," "last modified just now," or something like that... because you just did this, so you know this is the correct one). Write this number down, it's the unique-to-you location id I was talking about earlier.

Finally, go back to Baldur's Gate III and the Manage > Properties. In the launch options, paste exactly this command, except substitute your unique ID number in place of the string of Xs here:

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXX %command%

(Note: there is a space between your ID number and %command%.)

And if your issue was for missing the Net prerequisite, then this should get it running for you. Have fun!

 

Asking as I recently subscribed to a community that is fed by a bot which posts pretty frequently.

I subscribed to be able to mark the community to find it when I want to, but it's now dominating my subscribed feed due to volume of posts. If I could keep this one specific community from showing up in the feed, that would be the preferred solution. Thanks!
