This was my first thought as well, so I looked into it. Turns out JSAUX does provide a range of 3d printable models that can quickly connect to the modcase (as well as a template for modeling new attachments). You can see the models here on JSAUX's printables page.

Included models for it include:

  • A Deckmate adapter.
  • A wall mount perfect to use when you want to enjoy your games on a TV.
  • A VESA-styled mount, like the one used on modern gaming monitors, to help you adapt the position of your Steam Deck.
  • An universal adapter.
  • A TF card slot for microSD cards.
  • A hard disk adapter to replace the ModCase kickstand.

Edit: Here's the model for designing new attachments

And how much were they sold to boys cause idiotic families pushed them only on the boys?

Sure, but what was Lego supposed to do about that? They could have started a multi-decade advertising campaign to try to change social perceptions of girls vs boys toys, and maybe that would have eventually paid off. Or they could just make specific "girl" Legos.

As a business that wants to make money, they went with the latter option and it worked really well. And realistically, I don't think we should expect individual companies to try changing society instead of just targeting their products to society as it is.

It's also worth mentioning that when Lego did studies on it, they found that girls played with their toys differently. The girl Legos were designed to be based around a different type of play, that was supposed to be more appealing. It wasn't as simple as this is in pink and has girly lettering on the box.

Some other stuff you might try is making sure you're using proton experimental, and try the launch options: PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% -dx11

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he can use something like nvtop. Should make it really easy to see if it's being used.

Legos have typically sold more to boys. For a long time, Legos were meant to be gender neutral, but it didn't work out and 90% of Legos sold were to boys. It was bad enough that Lego felt a need to create girl targetted legos in 2012, to try to capture some of that market. The "Friends" Lego sets were enormously successful, and tripled sales of Legos to girls in the first year it came out.

It's also common to target an audience by having the characters be reflective of the audience. If you write a book targeted at elementary school boys, you usually want it to start an elementary school boy.

So I'm not surprised that most traditional LEGO figures are boys after decades of boy dominated sales.

A source on some of this.

Right, in my experience AMD vs Nvidia graphics can make a difference in whether a game runs or not.

ProtonDB is currently the best resource for this, but I would appreciate some of this info being built into steam as well.

I did something similar actually. My only experience with arch was using manjaro years ago, and I had a lot of instability and broken systems after updates. I swore off arch-based distros for years because of it.

After valve announced they would use arch as their base for steamOS, I was skeptical that arch would be a good base for a consumer product and decided to try it again. I picked Endeavour for easy install, and it was great. Turns out all the issues I had with Manjaro before were more of a Manjaro issue than an arch issue.

I've been using endeavour as my main OS ever since, and it's been great.

No, right now it only works on the steam deck. Support for more handhelds is coming though, and eventually laptops.

Right now you can install Bazzite to a laptop, it's very similar to steamOS and will work on most everything.

I'll add that according to that site:

  • switch has 11,439 total games
  • xbox series has 3,285 total games
  • PS5 has 2,699 total games
[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 31 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Nintendo switch had 527 games released this year

Xbox had 355 games

PS5 had 395 games

I'm sure there are other factors (like quality of the games, platform exclusivity, etc), but switch is still doing pretty good for an 8 year old console that's too weak to run new multi-plat games.

It does have to be in the same country. I don't think it has to be the same wifi network, although Valve does say that it's intended for people in a single household so they might change requirements later.
