Nah, I want to keep using it as a gaming device. I changed the original OS to Bazzite because I absolutely need to flash alternate OSes on everything I can, the voices in my head tell me to. But joking aside, your question remains pertinent: why change the system? I honestly never gave SteamOS a fair shake and I probably should.
The Zuck failed again? Good! Fuck that guy. Just chuck it on the pile along with Meta’s pervert glasses, Meta’s Libra cryptocurrency, Meta’s Metaverse and just Meta in general.
“Always has been”, my ass. These companies were acquired over time, PepsiCo didn’t just own them from the start.

I watch quite a bit of anime and a lot of subtitles seem to be in a format that includes advanced features such as stretching/shrinking text, rotation, karaoke effects and what have you. I think the sub format is actually called .ass or .ssa, but don’t quote me on that.
Anywho, I tried watching some random anime a few years back and was using VLC at the time. VLC detected the subtitles, but couldn’t do anything outside of just displaying them. It couldn’t do the advanced effects. So, I switched to MPV which just worked and have been using it ever since. As I said, this was a few years back and VLC probably can do advanced subtitles at this point, but eh. I’m too used to MPV now.
The following years are really going to suck for gaming. Sony is no longer cool with people owning their games, similar with Nintendo, who still do sell physical cartridges, only just some of them will actually contain the game. As for Xbox, it’s straight up imploding right now. The only ownership-friendly option right now seems to be PC with stores like GOG, itch.io or Zoom (no, not that one).
However, all of the platforms mentioned still have one problem in common, which is likely going to persist for the next few years: hardware has gotten ridiculously expensive thanks to the AI chip crisis. Right now the smart move seems to be to stick with the hardware you have until the chip crisis blows over, unless you are comfortable with paying through the nose for a new PC or console.
No, just have nothing to show.
Until I read your comment I was wondering what was wrong with it. Didn’t notice the ring on the right hand either. Anyway, much appreciated.
It seems to be more lightweight than i2p. Also possibly for Java haters.
(And right back at you)
Okay, I’ll poo-poo on Nintendo’s business practices as much as the next guy, but I have to ask:
Breath of the Wild was just a Zelda-themed Dark Souls.
Pray tell, how is Breath of the Wild anything like Dark Souls?
I bet he was using a ouija board.
There’s a version written in C++: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd
I can vouch for Vintage Story. Crafting in that game ranges from arranging items in a 3x3 grid, like Minecraft to more involved stuff like knapping or pottery where you have to arrange individual voxels to make the shape you want. As an example, here’s someone making a clay pot.
Well, you seem to have given this issue considerable thought. Here’s hoping it works out for you.
Man, that’s a whole lot of homework just to access a Microsoft account. In addition, Windows has a nasty habit of rolling back changes every time there’s a major update (like upgrading from build 24H2 to 25H2), so the tweaks listed might not even stick.
Thanks for the explanation!
I notice that the website has a “Powered by Tor & Haveno” button at the top. What’s the relationship between RetoSwap and Haveno, exactly? Is RetoSwap a fork of Haveno?
Still in development, I’m afraid. Not yet ready for regular use.
Holy shit, the author of the article did NOT hold back. And I’m glad he didn’t, all the criticisms listed are valid and deserved.
Pros: You have the freedom to do almost anything on it
Cons: …including fucking everything up
Cool, thanks for the feedback! Once I got my deck, I immediately flashed Bazzite on it, for no good reason, honestly. Mostly because it was the hot new thing and wanted to try it out, but in doing so I never even tried SteamOS. Because of this, I was left wondering what was wrong with the original OS, hence this post. I’ll probably give SteamOS a whirl later this month just to see.
