Understood thanks for the feedback. After posting you reignited my interest and I found out that they also have their product called beam which would do the trick to make a spatial display... if you're willing to cough up another 120 for it!

This has been on my radar for a while to compliment my steam deck. But I believe it doesn't do head tracking with the steam deck or does it? I just want a floating screen in front of me that stays still when moving my head around, otherwise I'm gonna hurl!

Yes I believe that is better.

I believe I have this condition although have never been officially diagnosed (not even sure if there is a way to diagnose it clinically). However it has led to some extremely embarrassing situations!

Iirc the SD does discharge from full battery a bit when plugged in for a while to preserve battery health.

Whats the most efficient; Using a fully charged SD when plugged into a 20,000 mah battery bank, or depleting the SD battery then plugging into the bank to continue play? in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Thanks for the in depth response! So if I understand correctly, it's better for battery health to use the bank first then the steam deck.

However if for arguments sake I want to get the maximum amount of play time, would bank first then SD still be the right way to go? I'm asking as perhaps the steam deck uses more power when plugged in as it doesn't believe it should be preserving charge?

I have an Anker Powercore that has enough output to charge the SD while playing, so just wondering what is the most efficient method to get the most out of both power sources for long haul flights.

Well at the time of writing your post has -2 votes so I'd say it's working!

What do you do with your dry herb after its been vaped? (lemmy.world)
 

Just wondering if people use their post vaped herb for anything? Personally we've been putting it into a bottle of olive oil (50/50 ratio) and letting it infuse over a month or so. On Sunday mornings we then pour it onto fresh toast and then go for what we call a space walk. You wouldn't believe how high we get from this! I think it's an excellent way to get the most value out of your herbs.

Warning: it's stronger than you'd expect so take it easy at the beginning to gauge strength.

Edit: Thanks so much for all your awesome recommendations and feedback. Based on sheer popularity it looks like my next 3 franchises will be Mass Effect (5 votes), Dead Space (3 votes) and Batman Arkham (3 votes). I love Lemmy!

So since picking up my steam deck last year I've been slowly but surely working through some old trilogies that I never got round to playing. I'm a very casual gamer who plays when opportunity strikes, so it's taken me a year to play all 3 bioshock, mafia and tomb raider games. I played them in alternating order of release (bioshock 1, mafia 1, tomb raider, bioshock 2, mafia 2, tomb raider 2 etc) and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of watching each story unfold and graphics improve.

So as I approach the end of Mafia 3, I'm looking to repeat this exercise. The Assassin's creed collection just went on sale on steam, so I'm thinking I may start there, so am looking for recommendations for another 2 franchises to compliment (or change up) my playing experience over the next year.

Any help much appreciated!
