I'm sure both are on the to-do list

Sorry, what game is it that you're talking about?

I looked into it some, and the closest I could find was some biographies say he slept in a bed with his grandnieces to prove his commitment to his vow of chastity. But that was about everything I found that wasn't just some random people saying he was a rapist without sources.

None of it was super substantial and several reports I saw were directly conflicting (for example one said he forced himself on his wife and it was so bad she would throw up after, the next said he had to force himself to have sex with his wife and that he would throw up after because he was so repulsed by sex).

It seems like he was definitely racist towards South Africans, but most everything on the pedophile/sexual deviant side seems made up or conflicting with no proper sources. Until someone shows me something better I'm inclined to not put any weight into those claims.

I've never heard of Ghandi being a pedophile before, do you have any details?

To be honest, I didn't think accurate depiction was a huge Civ development goal when you have stuff like nuclear Gandhi.

So the reason provided by the dev is:

Why is it called UMU?

An umu is an above-ground oven of hot volcanic stones originating from Samoans. After the stones are heated, the top layer is removed and the food placed on top to heat/cook. We chose the name because Valve's containerization tool is named pressure-vessel. We're "preparing" the pressure vessel similar to how you would use a stove top pressure-cooker -- by placing it on our umu's "stovetop"

Windows is absolutely abusing their position as the dominant OS to push their other products. The number of "no don't do that" messages and pop ups when trying to install chrome on a windows computer is clearly anti-competitive, and the only reason microsoft has been getting away with it is because Edge/etc hasn't achieved enough market share.

The arch wiki has a page on running standard arch on the deck, I'd recommend checking it out if you haven't already.

As an adult gamer, I have a lot less time for games. Single player games are nice because I can make meaningful progress on a storyline/etc, and even do things like finish a game and move onto the next one.

Playing online pvp games can be fun, but it usually takes a huge time investment to be good. And in the time I have to play, there's rarely a feeling of progress. Spending 1-2 hours on a single player game and I have progressed in a distinctive way. Spend that same time in League or some other multiplayer game and I have nothing to show for it except a few ranking points.

EDF World Brothers 2 (which is a spin off of the main EDF series) just came out and has fully optional Epic games integration. It doesn't even download the Epic account software unless you opt into using it.

I'm glad to see they've gone back and changed the previously released game to make it optional too.

The gameplay of the EDF games is pretty fun honestly, it does feel different from many modern games, but it's honestly kinda refreshing.

The biggest changes I know of are things like it using ZRAM instead of swap for dealing with high memory conditions (games like GoW will no longer crash the deck due to a memory leak using all the system's ram/vram/swap), and a revamped update system that makes system updates faster and more reliable. There are several major improvements that happened on the steam client side of things (like toggling what bluetooth LE devices wake the deck, quick BT connect menu in the QAM menu, etc) that may or may not have made it to stable already. There are a lot of bug fixes of course, many things complained about in the recent bug discussion thread have been fixed in 3.6.

Overall there's a lot less major features that come to mind than with the 3.5 update, but I'm also probably skipping over a lot of stuff.

Do you live off grid?

Definitely seeing that where I live. One of the local electric companies started offering gigabit fiber for $75, where most people were paying a lot more than that for DSL or low quality satellite (which were the only choices before). It's been a huge improvement for those people, and it's forced some of the long stagnant Telco companies to actually compete and start rolling out fiber of their own.

The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.

That's pretty high praise, I'll check it out.

The GoW memory leak shouldn't be an issue once SteamOS 3.6 hits stable, it uses ZRAM which will keep the game from crashing the Deck.

Yeah, I did hacking + smart weapons for my CP2077 playthrough so that almost no aiming is required. I imagine melee builds play fine as well.

Remnant 1 or 2?

I'm playing EDF: World Brothers 2 with a friend, and also bouncing between Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, and Monster Hunter Rise.

I'm looking forward to getting back into Shadows of Doubt. It just came out of early access, and recent updates included a ton of steam deck optimizations and major improvements to controller support. There are some great user control profiles already available, but I look forward to being able to play it docked as well with a standard controller.

Recently ran into an issue with Endeavour OS where the built in printer program would give errors when trying to add my network ecotank printer.

Tried using cups terminal and it worked the first time, and is still working weeks later.

So some of the GUI printer apps that distros ship with have issues apparently, but I don't know the extent of it.
