You can just go to that instance's webpage and view their frontpage. It's worth noting that NSFW posts are often hidden without an account though, so if an instance was defederated for NSFW content it might not be obvious why.
Can't comment on the 3rd person shooter/3d platformer hybrids, but games like Mario Odyssey are fantastic modern 3d platformers. Meanwhile I've recently replayed some 3d platformers from the n64-gamecube eras and found they didn't hold up as well as I remembered.
You're right, I hadn't noticed that. They have the breakers labeled backwards from how they normally are.
I think it's been taken down and relisted multiple times, possibly due to reports. I've seen these plugs on amazon for years now.
Here's a short extension cord version of one
The explanation of why they're a bad idea is valid though. Usually the kinds of people who know just enough to want this type of plug are also the type of people I wouldn't trust with one.
Edit: I'll go ahead and explain why people want plugs like this. These can be used to backfeed power from a generator into a house, letting you used different outlets/lights in the house. A knowledgeable person can actually use something like this safely, but most people who would use something like this don't know enough to do it correctly. The dangers about doing this are:
- You can easily shock yourself off of the exposed pins of the cord. You can avoid getting shocked by waiting to plug into the generator until the other end is connected first.
- You can backfeed power onto the electrical grid. The power going backwards through the transformers will step up the voltage to thousands of volts, and could seriously injure or kill the linemen who are trying to fix the outage. This is avoided by making sure you've opened either the house's main disconnect breaker or the breaker for the individual circuit you're plugging into.
There are some safer ways to setup this type of generator use, there are special generator power cords/outlets that won't have exposed energized prongs if plugged into a generator. There are also transfer switches or breaker interlock kits designed to prevent someone from being able to backfeed power by requiring them to disconnect commercial power before the generator can be fed into the house's distribution panel.
When the card doesn't mount properly, how does it show up in desktop mode?
I had a different SD card issue where the deck was automounting my sdcard at a different mount point, which was preventing it from seeing any of the installed games. Ultimately I just changed my mount points/library locations to match how the Deck wanted everything mounted.
For better or worse, I never quite understood the Steam deck smell. My sense of smell lacks the ability to smell a lot of things, so I'm guessing I'm just unable to pick up on whatever makes it so appealing to people.
I have some games where I've additionally bound the face buttons to light touches on the trackpad. Joysticks+triggers are usually quiet enough already, so being able to lightly touch the trackpad for quiet inputs makes it pretty quiet.
Obviously, it can't be a real fast paced game, but it's a decent compromise for games that are slower paced.
To be fair, this can be offset by sticking to smaller communities. All the large communities on reddit were low quality, but reddit's large userbase allowed a lot of niche communities to exist with an acceptable amount of users. Lemmy (with its smaller overall user numbers) has much better "large" communities, but many of the niche communities barely have enough active users to get by.
Epic already makes anticheat that supports Linux, and other games they own already run on Linux with anticheat.
They're just holding out on fortnite because... actually I'm not sure why. Probably Sweeney's personal thoughts on it. If they actually wanted it to run on Linux/deck I have no doubt they could without much trouble.
Yeah, I can put up with mushy buttons if it lets me play in bed while my wife's asleep.
Thanks for the quality response.
