I really enjoyed Outer Wilds, and Obra Dinn came up in some recommendations I read based on that. While it’s true that the games share a limitation that you can only play them “properly” one time, they aren’t yet hitting the same itch for me.
Also grabbed Chants of Sennaar awhile back, which I think may be similar to Obra Dinn.
I’ve actually run into several older games that have major issues on Windows but run great on Deck. Many of these require fan patches to fix their windows issues (stuff like increasing how much ram the game can use, etc).
A recent example was I gave a friend a copy of FEAR, just to discover it ran way worse on his high end PC than it does on my Steam Deck.
Mostly replaying older games this month. One new pickup is “Return of the Obra Dinn”, which looks pretty interesting. I think it will be (eventually) a fun puzzle to put together, but I’m not sold on the on-boarding process of being pushed from one memory to another. Kinda feels like the game is dictating the pace early on, and I feel like that could have been handled better. But I’ve heard enough good things about it that I expect I’ll enjoy it a lot by the end.
Apparently it’s contracted braille.
Contracted (Grade 2) braille is used by more experienced braille users. It uses the same letters, punctuation and numbers as uncontracted (Grade 1) braille but adds a series of special signs to represent common words or groups of letters, a bit like a kind of shorthand.
Books, magazines and other information tends to be produced in contracted braille, to cut down on size. Contracted braille produces much less bulky books and magazines.

This do not touch tag is a 3d print, the print creator says they made it using a braille translator website. Other braille “Do Not Touch” tags use some different braille letters for parts, and I don’t know enough about it to tell what the difference is. (edit: it’s contracted braille)
Regardless, doesn’t seem to be an AI image.___
Thankfully it sounds like no one else is having this issue. It’s either a beta only problem, or maybe something to do with my cheap offbrand dock.
People above said this is probably just using the $ for pesos, which would make this about $2USD.
As for US food prices, it varies a lot depending on where you are. Where I live, fast food meals are usually $7-10 and nicer sit down restaurants are $10-20.
I visited Norway about 10 years ago, at the time the food there was more expensive for a lot less food. The drinks weren’t unlimited refills either. Beautiful countryside though.
Sometimes the connection to the TV drops and it goes black for a few seconds
I had this issue for a long time, but it turned out it was just a bad HDMI cable. Swapped cables and it never happened again. Might be worth a try.
Probably was marked as sold out for awhile, I’ve seen at least 4 different websites report on it being sold out earlier today. I’m assuming some of those sites actually verified it showed as sold out online.
I just used the current article title.
It is noteworthy that it sold out, despite the price hike. Apparently it’s still desirable at that price, although without actual sales numbers it’s hard to say for sure.
Ouch, that’s rough.
I mean, this is technically better than it just not being available. But those prices are hard to swallow, makes me really glad to already have mine. Really hope nothing happens to it.
I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.
That’s an interesting idea, I’ll try it out. Haven’t had much luck with Moonlight/etc working on my setup. Steam streaming is easy to use but performance is mixed, so improved steam streaming sounds great.
I appreciate the ascii drawing, thanks for including it!
Personally I’ve been encountering more issues with docking than I used to have. Seems like it will work fine in either docked or handheld mode by themselves, but swapping between the two will cause a game to crash or steamOS to restart within the next 5-10 minutes.
I am on beta, so it could just be a SteamOS bug that’s not in the normal builds.
There are some non-Steam games that I can’t run through Steam because of its sandboxing (bubblewrap and pressure-vessel and such).
Do you mind giving some examples of what kind of issues you’re having here?
I’ve had really good luck with running external games through steam, so I’m just curious what kind of issues you’re having.
I probably enjoyed 2 & 3 the most of the series, but I’ve been meaning go back and play the Steam version of the first one. The english translation wasn’t great when I played it, and I had mixed feelings about the day time limit.
My main point was that even if Plex is the best solution, the $750 lifetime fee was enough for me to put up with some inconveniences of Jellyfin even if it wasn’t as easy.
Not saying Jellyfin is better than Plex, but Plex has to be a lot better for the price increase to be justified.
I know you’re just trying to make a point, but in case you’re serious:
You can’t install tailscale because Roku is a closed device, so your best remaining options are:
Thankfully haven’t encountered that myself, sounds terrible.
I am on the beta update channel, so might be worth switching to beta for awhile to see if it fixes it for you.
How is Mina? I’ve heard some mixed takes on it, but it being from the Shovel Knight devs makes me want to jump on it.
