Your experience with Vampire Survivors matches mine really well. It did hook me, but soon after, I started to feel like I was in this "ooh, piece of candy" gag on Family Guy. Almost like a gambling-induced dopamine rush, which is when I noticed that I wasn't actually having fun.

I also ran it on the deck before but did not enjoy how stuttery it became in Act 3. Streaming is more smooth, in my experience, and allows you to play the game at higher settings. At the deck's native resolution, I can basically max everything.

I showed my girlfriend how to stream Baldur's Gate 3 from the PC three weeks ago. Haven't been able to play *anything* since, but I guess this is what's being played on the deck currently.

I don't know a thing about IP laws, so I can't judge what shape of plastic is required to provide a basis for an IP rights violation. The reason I linked this was that I would take this entire story with a huge grain of salt, considering this company did this before and has apparently not learned all that much from that experience.

Someone pointed this out in another thread, and I think it's worth repeating: dbrand has a history of doing this and has had the same thing happen before when they produced unlicensed faceplates for the PS5.

Can you describe how you do this? I have mixed experience with in-home streaming via Steam (latency, disconnects, inability to connect when the host is running Windows with no monitor) but would be very interested in giving it another go with a Linux host and the Deck.

Like, what's your setup and how does your typical way of using it look like (startup, streaming, etc.)?

Gotta wonder what part of "thou shalt not kill" is so difficult to understand for these people.

In Germany, when we read news like these, we say "ich kann gar nicht so viel essen wie ich kotzen möchte", and I think that's beautiful.

Don't worry. They will conduct an internal review, which will identify the officer at fault and punish him by having him go on paid vacation.

Isn't this a bit of an overreaction for an election that was decided by fewer than 400,000 votes? Why even look for symbolic support when the "loss" you suffered was within 1% of the other guy?

This is something I noticed too. Some years ago, one of the futuristic aspects of EVs was how silent they were. Meanwhile, where I live, the newest fad seems to be to buy enormous E-SUVs, and I've noticed that I can't tell much of a difference between the conventional and electric versions of these cars in terms of noise (for small cars, the difference is substantial).

I'm not sure if you're referring to trains/trams or genuinely suggesting that there could be a rail-based system for individual traffic (i.e., people use individual pods without restrictions on start/stop location or time). The latter seems genuinely utopian to me if it can be made to work.

Two reasons. First, the required majority can be lowered to vote him in with a simple majority, if no absolute majority can be achieved (this will not happen right away). Second, the members who broke rank probably only wanted to send a message, so it's likely that they'll change their vote back to the party line (this may happen fairly soon).

Thank you for the explanation. Just one follow-up to check if I understood: The minority government would then just include the Liberals but with support from the Bloc Québécois (i.e., the Bloc has the power to veto, but the legislation will still come from the Liberals)?

That seems plausible, although I still wonder why a coalition with the Bloc is then not also on the table (there's probably a reason, I just don't know about Canadian politics).

Question for the Canadians: Do you have two or multiple parties in parliament? I'm asking because the article states that a minority government was the goal, and I was wondering whether a coalition government wouldn't be more advantageous.

Trump's tariff policy is like the Windows file copy dialogue.

Looking at this chart, the situation seems to be much better nowadays than I realized.
