The move isn’t to reject the fandom.
The move is to build the instance with explicit values — pro-trans, pro-queer, progressive moderation, zero tolerance for bigotry.
This feels like building a forum to discuss Mein Kamph, and then saying it’s going to moderated with a focus on inclusion, human rights, and diversity.
With the whole HP thing, there are IMO far too many people fully separating the art and the artist. I just can’t morally do that.
Increasingly, portion sizes are starting to come down a bit. The one-two punch of shrinkflation causing the restaurants to serve less, and the spread of GLP-1 drugs starting to help people eat less, are slowly whittling away the issue over time.
I think a lot of us are eventually going to upgrade to stronger systems (steam machine or something else), but it’s going to be a long freaking time in that scenario before I stop streaming to my Deck when I’m home. It’s just the king of comfy, kicked back on the couch or bed gaming.
The only life hack that I use on a regular basis is covering toilet flush sensors with TP. It works pretty reliably to keep them from flushing until you’re actually ready to leave.
Figured that out earlier in life when a certain office toilet would wait until I was exactly 50% done peeing, so that I couldn’t stop or dodge, and then it would power flush and send up a nice germ-ridden uriney mist. Blocking the sensor until I was done totally fixed it.
Pretty much any other life hack that looked interesting to me has been effectively pointless and did not see continued use. I don’t think I’ve ever tried one that was detrimental though… just useless.
I mean, if you just absolutely had to play a Linux-hating kernel anti cheat game, then install a small-as-possible partition for Windows, dual boot, and stay in Steam OS every single moment you’re doing anything else but that game.
But most Windows-on-a-Steam-Deck people I’ve encountered just drive Windows all the time. I will never understand.
There are plenty of bullet trains in the US, shootings happen on them… like, all the time.
Oh, wait. You meant… nevermind.
