Quoting: LinasWhere would one even start though? Just play them in chronological order, or it doesn't matter? Any advice?
I would start with Zero or RE1, to see how it was with the tank controls and how the series evolved. And then go on with a chronological order, it's not like the story is super important and most games are "self-contained", but is less messy in order.

I tried it last night, interesting new stuff to play around but it will have to wait because, you know, BG3. And all mods I use looks like they are still working fine.

Quoting: EriI love the grey one so much but i don't like TKL keyboards :sad: I want my numpad like others pointed here, I work with numbers and I can be very fast typing in a numpad, the TKL and small keyboard trend is not for me. And I don't want to use an extra USB port for a standalone numpad, I heard that before.

It has a hot swap board, a full version would be an instabuy for me, but nope.
On my ergodox, I just have a numpad layer activated by a button... The layout is the same on ortholinear keyboards, which I've also found to increase typing speed (and makes learning touch typing much easier). I can easily touch type on numpads and ortholinear keyboards, but never could do it effortlessly on "typewriter" staggered layouts, hence why I'm complaining about them, and will not consider any for a new keyboard!
I've never considered to use an ortholinear keyboard, but yes, an ortholinear keyboard with a software layer to turn it into a numpad is an elegant solution. I should probably try one on a store before droping the cash but thanks for the tip, I will consider it.

Steam desktop and Steam Deck get a fresh stable update
2 Aug 2023 at 12:09 pm UTC

Steam Deck building up menu loops is fixed? I always press the Steam button to open the main menu instead of going back with B and it creates a big loop in the background, until I turn it off completely. It doesn't really bothers me, I always use the Steam button anyways, but I wonder if that is responsable of some of the OS crashes I had since I got it.

JSAUX launch their Steam Deck RGB backplate and RGB Docking Station

I don't know if removing pressure from the original air intake with that additional intake is the best idea, some components not in contact with the heat sink are cooled with that intake. I hope they tested with that in mind, if I remember right that area was very hot already and summer in some places is a paved hell.

Quoting: EriI've been trying to run Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 from EGS on Heroic Launcher for a year, using a lot of different versions of Proton GE. The farthest it goes is playing the video intro with RATM music, after that it freezes. Does anyone knows a specific version that works or maybe a workaround?
There are reports of people running it with: Proton-6.3, Proton-GE-7, and latest Proton Experimental.

The specific version that pops up in people's reports is Proton-6.3.
It worked! :woot: I can't remember the last time I tried, maybe this winter, but now works with Proton Experimental. I saw those reports of Proton 6.3 some time back but I couldn't replicate it until now, thanks!
