Fully agree. I tried to make the SC work and wrote off a lot of it as "I'm just not used to it", but it really is asking a lot. In its defence, it was a first run product. The fact that it's still ass usable and as weird is impressive enough to me. But it's better as a piece of gaming history than a good product. It was just a good try.

I also agree with the Steam deck controls being actually good. I want the SC2 that's just a steam deck without the screen or computer.

So I guess the opposite of the steam brick.

I'd gladly pay $100 to have a steam deck like control scheme for my desktop. Rechargeable batteries and a Linux first design would be awesome. I don't mind just using cables all the time, but I would like better wireless options for Linux gamepads (though to be fair, I haven't tried connecting a wireless controller to a Linux box in 5 years).

If there's anything I've learned from my fiance, it's that there's both nothing wrong with a piece of media being for younger audiences and theres nothing wrong with consuming stuff meant for younger audiences.

Shit, Prodigy is endlessly shilled by folks on Mastodon with 18+ only in their banners.

I wouldn't hate that. I've been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.

It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension

I completely forgot about the Kelvin Klingons.

I had to Google it. They're not bad. I think there's some fun to be had with the idea of their weird virus that messed with their ridges.

Like disco Klingons are the original pre-virus Klingon, ToS and Kelvin are some of the variants we get during the virus, and TNG is the Post virus

What do you think the odds are that some of these make it state side?

I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?

Bold.

I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

  1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that's really the biggest reason anyone will have.

  2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don't know if that's true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.

  3. it's just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I've learned a lot about how the whole process works and that's more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

But what where you doing and which instance?

Everytime it was a "Wow. That's neat!"

Proceeds to never do it again

Odd since it's arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account

This is something I tell people all the time. It's just as easy to troubleshoot on Linux as it is on Windows the biggest issue is that most people are just kinda innately aware of Windows troubleshooting by virtue of the fact that they've been doing it for so long. Linux is probably just as complicated skill wise, but most people just aren't used to it yet.

And that's especially true for gamers. If you've gone through the dance of tweaking BIOS settings or DDU removing drivers and reinstalling them, then you're probably gonna do fine on Linux. The only difference is sometimes there won't be a GUI you have to go hunt down. It will be like 3 commands someone has already written out for you that you copy/paste into the CLI. Which is WAY better in my opinion.

$1000-$1100 is still a lot to ask of me specifically, but that is closer to market IMHO
