This basically looks exactly like my customized Deck setup :D

On a complete tangent, has anyone gotten the new Steam shortcuts creation to work yet? I just get the "could not find 'itch' program to point shortcuts to" or something similar each time... The bug report hasn't gotten any responses yet either.

P.S. One of the heart reactions on that screenshot is me :D

Final hours of my absolute mess of a desktop in constant use for three years with piles of manual customization is at hand...

...But hey, I can wake the Deck with my keyboard again!

I am still confounded by the fact that to "be standard.site" you have to put extra data on a PDS. And this is done just so links get nice embed cards on Bluesky?

To give my normal "standard web" website a nice embed on Bluesky I have to add each and every article on Bluesky?

How does this make sense? Why is this desirable over data that's entirely in the page itself? What am I missing?!

In case of E33, I'm mostly surprised how much mainstream popularity it gained despite being a timing-based JRPG. Is that not weird? I find that to be a small miracle how popular it got given the pretty niche genre.

(Admittedly I also found the E33 combat system to be rather dreary, but the story was an unquestionable ride.)

Eh, I should expect some downvotes. It is a popular series after all...

The only GTA game I played through fully I did so at a pretty young age, and don't really remember much to be critical of their mission structure, to be honest. And the early ones didn't have that rich of a story to begin with.

My complaint is more like a lack of interest in the main gameplay of the series: the roaming around a relatively realistic city being a nuisance to people. It never appealed to me. Even when it's just crimes, I just kept feeling like I'm doing a job rather than playing a game. I guess open world games set in the modern day world just don't have any hooks for me... I'm just surprised that this is not a common opinion, clearly! :D

Yep. Played Vice City a lot as it was popular among my peer group when I was starting out. Played San Andreas for at least a dozen hours or so. When friends compelled me to try out GTAV as it came out I couldn't do it for more than one sitting.

The storyline aspect I should've mentioned in my original comment that I understand the appeal of, even though it's very much not for me. But so much of the game is the sandbox rather than the scripted plot, yet it's the sandbox that I can't find any interest in whatsoever.

The funniest thing is that I played through Saints Row 4 in its entirety and enjoyed it a lot. Not because of its cheesy comedy, but simply because stomping around a city destroying alien armies with superpowers was still fun for me. I can't imagine playing that series before it jumped that shark.

 

Does this count as flexing is the Deck is my only PC?!
