I would piggyback on the people saying to get a PC, and think about building a home theater PC. You can use steam big picture mode to make it act like a console, but you can also use it for other things. You can even use steam’s streaming capabilities to stream to other devices on your network like your phone or laptop if you want to be elsewhere.

this looks pretty neat, definitely adding to my wishlist.

Really cool idea, hoping to see updates on the project as it goes!

Did anyone else ever play Airfix Dogfighter? You got to fly model planes all through a house and break glass and stuff. Super fun times 😁

Yeah, it wasn’t until my second time starting the game that I took in any of the combat tutorials

For me after some time away from PC gaming, getting a steam deck was one thing that got me back into it. The other thing though was definitely selecting relatively short games. I played a lot of open-ended games that I could never finish like rimworld or crusader kings, it was nice to get back into games with a beginning middle and end. And in the same vein it means I’ve been playing stuff that I was interested in playing back in the 2010s but didn’t really have the time/money/hardware for

I’m using it both for notes at work (software development) as well as a separate graph for my own thoughts, ideas, todos, pretty much everything. Using Syncthing to sync my graphs between devices works pretty well, though it’s had a bit of a learning curve in getting it set up.

I’ve been playing Dishonored 2 on my Steam Deck. Played the original for the first time and went through in a pretty non-stealthy high chaos way, so I’m trying to go for a low chaos playthrough here.

I also grabbed Cassette Beasts on sale, so I’ve put a few minutes into that and I’m enjoying the 3D with 2D sprites aesthetic that I loved so much in the NDS Pokemon game

Really liked the vibe, though I kinda sped through it with high chaos. Found some of the stealth frustrating, but I like that it isn’t necessarily a game over if you wind up being detected

Just finished Dishonored and now I’m on to Dishonored 2

I just played through Dishonored, which worked great! Also Assassin’s Creed 2 was a fun one to finally finish from the backlog. It was the first game I completed on the steam deck and enjoyed messing around with configuring the controls to take advantage of the touchpads (used the left one to select from the weapon wheel)

For work I currently use C and python mainly, and for some personal projects I’ve been using python backends with JS/Vue frontends.

I really enjoy Python, but as I use it more I’ve found the quality of the docs to be an impediment. They’re hard to reference quickly.

I really want to start using Rust, but it’s not really applicable to the kinds of projects I’m currently working on. I’ve started picking up some Clojure and PHP for two open source projects that I’ve started contributing to.
