Quoting: WyattTurpinSince they added thier chat reporting, I refuse to play any version past 1.19. (Including 1.19.1 aka 1.19.84)

A bit late but there is a mod that remove the cryptographic signature of chat messages you send, making the chat reporting useless as they can't prove it was you who sent the message : https://modrinth.com/mod/no-chat-reports [External Link]

There is also a plugin that does this server side : https://modrinth.com/plugin/freedomchat [External Link]

I use both, even on private servers, just to show the happy finger to Microsoft

Quoting: tmtvlKinda poor timing with the Fractureiser virus still under investigation, best to stay away from MC until the dust settles.

Fractureiser has nothing to do with the vanilla version of the game, and is only an issue for people using mods. So why should we keep away from this update/Minecraft ? Not everyone use mods.

Quoting: Liam DawePretty much all traditional joysticks will eventually drift, the design of these is supposed to last far longer and potentially never see drifting issues.

I assume it's safe to say that the Steam Deck's sticks are at least better than, say, the absolutely notorious ones used in the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Cons, though? :unsure:

I don't have a Deck yet, and if they are like that, it would be a big dealbreaker for me - I got sick of repairing those things and that contributed to my move over to 100% Linux-gaming.

The steamdeck come with a case, and a good one (Compared to the switch first party case I have that doesn't protect the joystick that much), so it should be a bit better as it won't get abused during travel.

But I still might upgrade to those, as I like those kind of joystick better compared to the old one, feeling wise (At least when comparing with the 8bitdo ultimate)
