Quoting: RandomizedKirbyTree47Do you need to log in every time you launch the game (making it unplayable if and when they discontinue support)?
Even if you'd only need to log in once for each new installation, you'd get locked out some time in the future. Not saying that you don't have to log in on every launch, I don't know about the specific arrangements.

It's interesting that some posters basically said that the breaches are okay because Microsoft had more incidents in the same time span.

Steam Deck SteamOS 3.6.10 Beta 'Tenth time's the charm' fixes some real nuisances

I've got a Logitech mouse connected to the official dock via USB dongle all the time, which I use with an USB-C extension cable and don't get the constant teleportation. Weird.

I run Firefox in gaming mode, which is tricky, since it requires a different profile if you want to keep saved tabs. If that profile is started in desktop mode, hell breaks lose, since the window in gaming mode gets resized and it is impossible to get it back to the resolution specified via command line. Also switching any element to fullscreen mode causes display issues until Firefox is restarted. Why am I writing this, since the issues are obviously caused by Firefox? Because I don't have any mouse issues in Firefox in gaming mode.

Quoting: scaineIn fact, it looks like a weird clash between pulse and pipewire, but given that I was convinced it was Steam before..
Well… you were mentioning pipewire and your log has org.kde.plasma.pulseaudio errors. That's why I asked.

If I were you I'd install Openbox or any other light WM and do a test without Plasma/KWin.

I wonder how many games are uploaded with that file. I've seen it many times.

The Beamdog & Owlcat RPG Humble Bundle has some killer games in it

Quoting: AnzaI oddly enjoyed Icewind Dale.
Why not?

It's not bad, but different. What I failed to mention is that you have to create a complete party in IWD. A huge part of the less story aspect is that there are no predefined companions in the game world that can join the party.

Quoting: GuestBtw. how are Icewind dale and Neverwinter nights?
Icewind Dales what Baldur's Gate would be like if you took away most of the story and replaced it with combat.

Neverwinter Nights is mostly about the module editor and multiplayer with a gm. The default modules are mostly classified as weak except the 2nd (? – I'm writing from memory) expansion.

Quoting: MrSeatbeltNow just make jesters give you no points to stop incentivizing toxicity
Yes. The introduction of the jester award with points seems to encourage a lot of spam.
