  • Kinda hard for me to answer that ATM. When I got mine, it was gifted to me by someone who upgraded to an OLED model. I was originally going to buy one but Valve wasn’t going to hold onto a Steam Deck long enough for me to transfer money from my bank to PayPal so I let someone else buy it. (Which was the exact one that was later gifted to me so it’s like fate!) And also I was going through some intense burnout when it was gifted to me and I’m still kinda recovering. Like, intense enough that it impacted my ability to do recreational activities too. It sucked.

    All that said, I don’t really use it much yet so it’s hard to justify it’s worth and my own use case. I had considered using it as a back up PC for when I don’t want to be bound to my bedroom but I already have an option for that. But I would argue it makes a pretty decent desktop. I have used it in that capacity quite a bit. Other than that sometimes I use it when I want to play a game in my bed or while standing/pacing.

    I’ve never really been one for portable gaming so I’m not prone to taking it to town with me and I only recently acquired non-roommate local friends so I haven’t had much chance to take it with me while visiting them either. So yeah I dunno if I can justify it’s worth. If the shortages weren’t what they are and if they had a $400 or less model I’d suggest it. Especially for the age. But IDK. If you can find one on eBay or something for a decent price point I don’t think it’d be a bad purchase.


  • I recently put CachyOS on my Steam Deck because I wanted more control than what Steam OS was offering me. Also I prefer to install native apps most the time. ^^;;;

    I also bought a second hand Surface Pro 7 and installed Cachy on that as well and now it’s my primary tablet device. (Have an iPad but I don’t want to be in Apple’s ecosystem.) So far I’ve been really happy with it.

    I’ve been daily driving Endeavour OS for the past … 3 years? So this is not really a big switch for me. I might consider installing that if/when I decide to reinstall my primary Desktop OS ^^;;;


  • Obesity wouldn’t be the problem it is if it were just a personal choice. Plenty of people hardly have time for a healthy diet and lots of the quick, cheap, and easy options are calorie dense and addictive. It is very easy to unknowingly eat way too many calories without realizing it.

    I won’t say I didn’t laugh at the joke. I did. But having been fat myself I can say that having people give me shit for my weight would never be helpful. Normalizing body shaming is more likely to create eating disorders and depression than it is to help fat people lose weight.

    You don’t need to shame fat people to shame Nazis.
