It’s the Torygraph, they deal lightly at best with news and informing the public, which is what makes it very surprising. If they’re reporting it then reality is even worse

Just to note, and by no means is this a common issue I’ve seen, but I recently had the SD card I had in mine (a legit Samsung card, 512gb) just randomly corrupt itself so all the games installed on it couldn’t be seen by the Steam Deck anymore. That also lead to a bonus issue where the Deck thought the games where still installed whenever I tried to reinstall them and them not booting once they had been reinstalled, and at least one of them games (once I fixed that problem) still occasionally needs me to verify the installed files so it can reaquire one before the game will load

Then any redacted names must be a Republican, simple

Removed by mod

They mean Israel, and are performing “Overly Paranoid”

I hope it hurt, and I hope he suffered

2. Nice handle length and it’s small enough to fit into most containers of anything I’m likely to need a spoon for

Love that for him

It didn’t actually show up in the list of libraries, that was my first thought, and that was when I ended up messing with libraryfolders.vdf. Just outright removing that external drive from there had Steam just restore it after a reboot. Removing all the entries from that drive at least stopped it warning me that the game was installed on a different drive.

I seem to have fixed the issue, for some reason the cloud sync was screwing with the installation and clearing out a file related to it fixed it. Thanks for the idea though, on the off-chance this comes up again - because I’m not likely to trust an SD card in it again - I’ll look into it

Yes, the card appears to be dead, I’m trying to install the game to the internal storage now and it won’t install

Good to know. As far as I know the only difference between a regular memory card and the Memcard Pro is the SD card it all ultimately gets saved to, so hopefully it will just be as simple as copying the save to and fro

I already own an Xbox, there’s no earthly way that buying an old anything would be cheaper than paying the small developer mode activation charge for the console I already have (bought second hand a few years ago from a friend who had used it 3 times)

I’m in full agreement there, but at least it’s a small one-off payment to just use it the way I want to rather than playing cat-and-mouse with hacks and software updates

If there’s a way to activate dev mode without paying them I don’t know about it

I mean, I’ll give them some money to activate developer mode so I can install emulators on my Xbox. I don’t need emulators on my Xbox but it’s gonna sit there doing nothing otherwise because I’m not paying for Gamepass

The kids are alright

The fact that you recognise it would be a struggle should honestly spur you on even more to do it. People got by for a long time without the Internet and even though now the same infrastructure they’d have used is at best a shell of its former self if not gone entirely it would still be possible. We don’t have to stop entirely but if a bunch of sites suddenly find their traffic is way down they’d start to put pressure on about getting rid of ID checks and we might finally see some movement

I get all the theory and everything, I understand the some grifter comes along peddling easy answers and people fall into it. But the Temu version of Trump that is Nigel Farage has such a vibe about him that he’d pick your pocket and then deny it right to your face - while holding your wallet in his hand - that I genuinely don’t understand how people trust him even slightly
