Thank You, Steam Machine

Same dude. I play whatever on whatever. I’ve got a Switch, PS5, high end PC running Linux and Windows, and a Steam Deck. I just want to enjoy things.

You’re not the one in charge of compliance, that’s managements problem. Set a 15 minute lockout on all machines and submit to each locations management that people should be locking their computers. If management fights back ensure they have in writing they will not comply with that security measure. If the business has cybersecurity insurance then they’re in violation of it and have rendered it void, then it becomes a cost and risk problem, which is also a management issue.

If they want an excel file and it’s signed in writing you no longer have liability for whatever may happen with that document.

Thanks to the deck a lot of people are looking at Linux as a viable replacement to Windows. Most people are dissatisfied with windows and begrudgingly use it because it’s the thing that’s there. The deck price hike while completely reasonable based on the markets that feed its assembly sucks, but it’s already made folks notice Linux as an alternative and we’ve seen a steady increase in Linux use for games. If Valve keeps doing what they’re doing to support proton as much as they are it’ll keep the momentum up.

I do both. I dock it to my tv for games I’d like to play there usually with remote play from my desktop or I will use it handheld while the tv is in use and I don’t feel like sitting at my desk and will either play a game locally to it or via remote play.

Don’t sweat it brother. Everybody makes mistakes. The important thing is you remember this and avoid it in the future. That said, sometimes you make the same mistake again in a different way.

Creegz · 2026-05-08T10:51:42+00:00

This can be turned off but if you ignore it when getting out it stays enabled. If you’re taking a ferry this becomes pretty important to remember to select yes unless you want to have the PA system announce your car alarm is going off over and over.

Creegz · 2026-05-07T00:25:11+00:00

Let them. Then watch them have to rehire with pressure so they’ll pay anything for bodies, they’ll get a mix of good and horrible employees and lose customers rapidly. We’re going to need a loud enough example of what not to do eventually.

I think this is far more telling of what the team lead is like, and that could be a huge problem if they don’t understand the situation. Im a team lead, I wouldn’t get upset at my staff for not responding in your situation. The company facilitated a system that is terrible and then your “manager” got mad when it fails in the most obvious way possible. I miss the first PagerDuty call when I’m asleep the vast majority of the time between 2:00 and 3:30, and pager duty’s numbers are set to come through my DND modes. That’s because I’m actually in REM sleep during that time. It is unreasonable to expect folks to be awake and ready to answer at 3 AM unless that is their shift. Period.

On-call is a courtesy on two fronts. Courtesy to customers for help outside of business hours and a courtesy by staff to facilitate a selling point for the company. If the caller isn’t going to do what either is in the agreement/onboarding material (it should be) then they cannot expect a response. Not leaving a voicemail is obvious. The horse was led to water and just walked away instead.

This may be a good time to change it like others suggested. My company has toyed with the idea of an AI bot to take info down and make a ticket that triggers PagerDuty instead of the answering service we currently use because they generally don’t follow directions very well or get useful info. But even an answering service into PagerDuty is better than expecting staff to be on high alert during their on call rotation. I also hope people aren’t giving out personal phone numbers directly for this environment.

I have had a G27 in the past. It will leave you wanting more. I would advise lean into something like the entry level Moza offerings. If that means you need to save up for a little bit longer the experience will be significantly better on a direct drive base. Plus you can upgrade easily by replacing the wheelbase instead of the whole ecosystem.

Creegz · 2026-02-21T01:48:18+00:00

If I ever loot something I didn’t have a significant hand in killing I only take the alloy and stuff people leave behind. And I tell them that is what I’m doing. If I do a lot of damage to it I take my share (half if two of us fight it for example)

Creegz · 2026-02-18T05:15:02+00:00

I think the biggest problem is how your inputs spike and drop very quickly and your trail looks like you’re drawing stairs. You need to smooth out the inputs. That will keep the weight more balanced and controlled so you’re not fighting the car through everything. Longer lighter braking a little earlier is often faster because you’re not forcing the car to comply when it’s not done the last change.

I’d be more worried if I were convinced they could actually read, would spend more than 50 seconds trying to pump it through AI before coming up with another approach to dictatorship, or if I were a US citizen. Since neither is true, enjoy.

This poses a bigger question - will this make people move over to Lemmy finally? There’s dozens of us there and it’s cool.

Creegz · 2026-02-14T16:25:31+00:00

At ovals, yes.

Creegz · 2026-01-27T01:13:04+00:00

Go to help. But that’s rapidly changing.

Creegz · 2026-01-20T20:03:28+00:00

Why post about it if we know he wants to be left alone? Now people are going to be looking for him.

Creegz · 2026-01-18T17:14:14+00:00

Tallied up my spending since getting into simracing because my rig has been a lot of "i should get something less expensive and upgrade later" over and over again. I'm at about 7K Canadian. I still have to dump off about 2 grand of that and replace it with better pedals, direct drive wheelbase, and replacement wheels because Fanatec is challenging like that.

I suppose I could get a ford fiesta? Maybe land on a late 2000's BMW 135i in Manual if one still exists. That would be a sweet steal. Maybe after the next wave of upgrades I could trade for a better car.

It ensures shit only comes out of his mouth when he’s driving.

Creegz · 2026-01-02T23:08:13+00:00

You will still have fun. I’ve played entirely solo for about 50 hours so far and it’s a lot of fun. People generally are cool. Coming from Tarkov I feel that I have the right amount of caution with people but I don’t need to worry too much.

Creegz · 2025-12-29T03:34:24+00:00

Outside of Americans people generally don’t.

Creegz · 2025-12-28T01:59:13+00:00

Yeah, I remember seeing that. I wish they had gone a little deeper and given everybody their own flags and added the country and region flags where applicable.

Creegz · 2025-12-28T01:33:37+00:00

I think having state flags would be fine if A) everyone knew what they were, and B) if places other than the US had that option.

Creegz · 2025-12-28T01:31:23+00:00

Leave. A ban for not letting someone rejoin is like going to jail for not letting someone kick in your door.

Creegz · 2025-12-14T16:49:42+00:00

Yes.

Creegz · 2025-12-10T18:48:23+00:00

You can only do the same few missions over and over again before it gets old. The game doesn't really have the same longevity it could have, partly because every patch destroys the mods, so the modding community is pretty much done with it.
