That number is specifically for the president

Yea, I feel you. Age limits everywhere, especially the upper limit, are a good idea.

I will say, I'm running in Desktop mode and using keyboard+mouse. Presumably controller works, but I haven't actually tried in handheld mode.

GOG version runs great for me. I just installed via Lutris using Proton Experimental, no problems to speak of while playing so far.

There already is a lower limit (must be 35), just need to add the upper

See my reply to this user above, but yea don't bother buying it if you only have the Steam Deck. Cheaper and a better experience to buy the original on GOG.

You always have the option to get a full refund within the first 2 hours of gameplay on Steam though, if you want to see the performance for yourself.

I can confirm, even trying several different combos of optimizer mods, plus running the resolution at 1280x720, it stutters like crazy as soon as you get out of the initial area surrounding the Imperial City and looks like dogshit because of everything at low or lowest.

Baldur's Gate 3 with almost 100 mods (including optimizers), and similar upscaling settings at 1920x1080 in Desktop mode, runs smoother and looks better on the Steam Deck.

Since the remaster is literally using the same game logic as the original, I ended up just installing the GOG version of the GOTY edition, installed a bunch of mods, and it runs amazing. I don't think I'm missing much in the way of changes/improvements.

My first thought as well. Feeding on the anti-Tesla hype to gain some clout and probably funding.

FitGirl has also had it on their todo list since the crack showed up on 1337x

I agree with you. I just think about how some government entities are less-than-efficient when it comes to the customer service thing, and that would probably apply here as well.

Probably also makes a difference if it's at the state or federal level. Local DMVs in some areas are, well, many jokes exist.

The idea is sound, I think. Treat emails, in a way, like we do phone numbers and house addresses. Except this doesn't ever change, when your name could (or you share a name with thousands of others). I wonder what the identifier would be for the address? Obviously SSN[at]usa.gov is a bad idea 😅

However, could you imagine the nightmare (on both sides) of a tech support call center for official government email account support?

 

On a Carousel of Sound, We Go 'Round was a multi release album + documentary. Mainly after the album as it has some of their best music IMO and early demos. Some of the tunes I can't quite get out of my head and I got a scratch that needs itching!

A snippet of the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JITMmtQdtCk

I had an offline copy of the album long ago ripped from a CD I got at one of their shows, but now it seems I can't find it anywhere. Tried all the streaming services, bandcamp, torrents, etc. but it's nowhere to be found that I've run across so far. I can get to all the other albums and EPs, but not this one.

It was released on Equal Vision Records, so I have to imagine it's somewhere out there... but it's not even on the record studio's page! I can find a few different ways to watch/rent/buy the documentary by itself, but the music still eludes me.

Anybody out there happen to have this album or know where I can get a hold of it?

edit: soulseek to the rescue!

I love their face masks.

Also, if you're curious about this sort of thing, the guitar and bass are made by Maton (Australian).

 

Why? He had some pretty awesome videos back in the day that he did pretty much all himself, especially the Limit To Your Love video with the weird practical fx.

This is his latest vid... I'm very sad. He didn't even call it out in the vid description.

 

From the (Ukrainian) frontman, Eugene Hutz:

"It's one of the very few songs I wrote for a girl. I just moved in with my girlfriend in New York. We had a neighbour: an old woman who was always dressed in purple head to toe. She was clearly bonkers. So whenever my girlfriend and I had an argument and she would start screaming at me, I would say: you might as well start wearing purple now."

In the interest of grabbing data points to plan for some tools for you all, I'm curious what the ratio of users are around here.

How many of y'all are strictly Game mode users, and how many of y'all use it like a laptop?

A lot of what I do on the Deck requires Desktop mode, mainly to get at a terminal and to configure Steam for pirated games. However, that doesn't mean I couldn't devise a tool that launches from Game mode to do the same things.

I suspect the latter is going to end up being something that I need to build to be the most useful to a wider audience, but for being pirates I'm sure most of you have entered Desktop mode numerous times for one reason or another.

FitGirl Downloader (self.steamdeckpirates)
 

Just found this place, I dig it! I do gamedev on my Steam Deck, and I'm also a systems engineer. I have a repository of all sorts of Arch based things for pirates that are somewhat specific to Steam Deck ('cause Valve does some weird shit in the name of convenience, but I get it, people don't buy this machine to be a laptop like I did).

Any who, now that I've found this place I may put together more of my scripts into an easier to digest format and throw it up on Codeberg or something.

For now, I'll point you all towards a tool that I found on GitHub. I have a fork that I wrapped with a bash script to make life easier when it comes to grabbing FitGirl repacks. I've made a Pull Request to get it merged into the original repository, but my fork will probably be kept up to date more frequently (I don't know the original maintainer).

My Fork: https://github.com/madamegaymes/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader

Original tool: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader

My PR: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader/pull/2

What does the tool do?

  1. You give it a FitGirl game URL (or several URLs)
  2. It scrapes all the fuckingfast direct download links
  3. Passes all that to python to download each part automatically

It probably isn't bug-free, I made these tweaks for myself and just today decided to try to get it merged into the original tool. I have ideas on how to make the tool much, much easier to use, so feel free to let me know if you run into issues!

The README should have the details, but I can add more if something is not clear. I'm not sure what the average level of tech savvy is in this community yet.
