Let’s say that we have a more recent micro SD card of 1 TB. So to contain the same information in a punch card (with a byte density of 80 byte/156 cm² = 0.512 byte/cm²), we would need a card of 512,820,512,820 cm². If I’m not mistaken that would be a punch card the size of 51 km²!! This is wild :O

So glad you all agreed that you should use Linux instead :)

The open eyeballs scare me! Looks like hungry worms impersonating humans

Interesting question!

I have the feeling that intense interests often lead to being awkward because it is assumed that “normal” people don’t so this. If I start passionately talking about my interests, neurotypical people often don’t get why I’m so intense about it and either find me boring, too much or cute (in a patronizing way). And having learnt to mask a lot and not show my interests, I often feel frustrated not to be able to share my interests. So for me, being awkward and having special interests are tied together.

But still, I’d rather be awkward than being such a boring person without the passion for their interests. I’m also trans and queer, and I wouldn’t like to be a cishet person either. Although it sucks so much not fitting in society and frequently being discriminated against, I wouldn’t be me without these traits. I would just be a very narrowminded, boring and passionless person I guess (I obviously don’t know how to imagine being someone else, not meant to be offensive). In my utopia, people would just be accepting of others and different needs and expressions.

Same. I often find people identifying with “nerd stuff” and wanting to be seen as nerdy somehow annoying for exactly that reason. I didn’t choose to be awkward or to have intense special interests.

Yes, but e.g. I played Song of Farca (playable) and there the SD info was all green except for “this game sometimes shows mouse, keyboard or non-Steam Deck controller icons”. In some games, this just means that the menu is somewhat clunky etc. But in this specific game you have to use the mouse (right track pad) the whole time and the UI is incredibly clunky. This was just very frustrating.

Oxygen not included is another example where you need to use the track pad like a mouse the whole time although in this case the game is even verified. Same goes for Stasis: Bone Totem and Mini Motorways, both very hard (for me at least) to play on SD although they are in fact officially verified.

Observation is a game that runs much better than the other examples although it is officially unsupported. (Stories Untold by the same studio doesn’t work at all because of the weird UI.)

You see my frustration? Often you have to deduce from some gameplay footage or by how the game is presented, how well it will work on the SD.

I wish there would be a distinction in games running smoothly on SD in general and games that work great with the default screen/controller setup. There are many games that are designed for a desktop PC with mouse and keyboard that are just painful to play on the default SD setup. But as it is now, it is hard to distinguish between this and games not running because of performance limitations etc.

Isn’t this comparable to utilities you buy for smoking weed (talking about countries where it is still illegal) like a bong or a special grinder? They are only really used for doing something illegal but it is still legal to buy them.

If you’re searching for a cyberpunk game with good story, I can highly recommend Cloudpunk!

Hail Seitan! --> many vegans (including myself) swear on pure gluten :D

And yes, I also know people who also cannot be vegan because of all their dietary restrictions.

I guess the similarity of arch users and vegans lies in the fact that both groups are very much outside the norm. So you often have to distance yourself from the assumed default (windows/apple computer, omnivore diet). And just talking with other people, it comes up often by itself. If someone asks me to fix their windows PC, I have to tell them that I haven’t really used windows for nearly a decade now. And if someone invites me over or to a restaurant, I have to tell them that I’m vegan. But people who are inside the norm often don’t deal very well with outsiders, so they have to invent tropes like the annoying vegan. What is actually annoying them is their own double standard they have to live with (torturing/killing animals and having a large ecological impact vs wanting to be a good human being).

But obviously there are also some people who use arch or are vegan and do it to provoke a reaction, to feel special and morally superior.

Second that. It is a bit of a hassle to get all the games and to access them on the deck, but once you set that up, it runs great and you also are much less limited :)

Just FYI, yt-dlp does work with other sites, too. So you can get some pretty decent quality by downloading from bandcamp for example. But not all that what your asking for unfortunately…

More gaming on linux, yayyy!

Well, a fork of Clementine :) Both are great music players that have a playlist-centered approach to music. Have been exclusively using them on my computer since many years.

Just look at their previous post…

OK, but how are personality disorders any different? And why would you think they aren’t real mental illnesses??

I’m not in the US, so no problem! But thanks for letting me know what else to look out for :)
