It's because "The Ides of March: Et Tu Edition" is on its way

Did you say you wanted "more agentic AI experiences"? Right away, my good sir!
My biggest regret is not getting a whole crate of 2TB intel SSDs when they were going for $70. "Surely, this is a sign that prices are just getting better and better!"
Melania? (makes ankles-behind-the-ears gesture) HER?
But you didn't directly plug it in, there was always some sort of adapter involved (thanks for the generous ports, Valve). There must have been something wrong with the adapters. Sometimes, you just have to flip USB-C over for it to work (thanks, Intel).
You might be the first person to run the Linux build, including the developer. I have a few games where the Linux version is a mess, so I have to use the Windows ver. "Win32 is Linux's stable gaming API".
I think the problem is that the itch release is literally the same build as steam's, but the dev didn't do a very good job of neutering the "ask a steam api" bit. They accept "lol what is steam?" as a valid answer, but not "steam is responding, and says you own 0 copies of game 8675309".
First, check protondb. Then put a comment up on itch.io. Is anybody else complaining? Is anybody else commenting on the game at all?
Add the game to heroic and let heroic add it to Steam? I recommend always using either the latest proton-ge, or the latest of the previous proton-ge (9.27).
Or remove the steamapi library from the game's folder. Or add a steam_appid.txt.
Or a last resort would be Goldberg.
I rather like the Logitech MX 2. It's comfortable (for a right hander), and is shockingly reliable for a bluetooth device.
My recc for a keyboard is "good god never an Epomaker". They look like a discount Keychron, but are fucking useless. A stuttttering messs.
This is all assuming that the dollar is worth anything in the future. The way things are going, uh maybe not
Bear in mind that the speakers don't work by default because they are being driven by an amp that can totally blow them up. The speakers need software protection that physically models how the waveform is turned into sound and heat, and vetoes signals that might damage them. If it's wrong, your speakers can go pop.
You could try working a little deoxyit or contact cleaner into the switch. Considering that it didn't have a period of being flaky before it died, I am not optimistic that this will help.
Isn't it great that the most important button is soldered on the backside of the mainboard, and is also fragile af?
As I've heard it, the AI industry is borrowing against their mountain of computers to get their next round of money. The problem is, computers depreciate fast - their hardware is on like a two year replacement cycle. The solution - pinch the supply to make the value of your depreciating assets go up. Now you have higher valued collateral to borrow against, so you can buy more of the supply, pinching more, which makes your collateral more valuable again, ad infinitum.
Congratulations! You have now won at Capitalism. Now stare at the Game Over screen forever.
