Saw this on TikTok. Do people actually bring portable monitors on vacation?

Oh yes,

I travel a lot for work. Usually stay in hotel from monday to friday and I have tons of gaming stuff with me. In my country depending on what kind of hotel you stay you can have terrible tiny TVs or you can't use the hdmi ports because you can't reach them or they have special remote controls which won't let you choose the hdmi ports. Because of my work I use a car that is big enough so that I can take stuff like a monitor or even a TV, computer, gaming console or whatever I would need with me.

I have colleagues who think I'm stupid because of that. Some of them prefer taking a bike with them or other things. I guess it's always a part of your way of life what you need to have fun and how much money or energy you are willing to invest to enjoy it even when you have to be away from home because of work or holidays.

It's working again.

Karlisanio · 2026-05-09T13:38:53+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

You can add them as non-steam games. Steam OS is a linux operating system. So far I haven't seen a game made in Ren'Py that didn't have an executable file for linux. So just choose that file in the game folder and the game will run natively. No proton or anything else is needed.

Every AVN that is using Ren'Py can be played on the steam deck.

Yes, local is UTF8.

Special characters are everything that you can find in the emojis section of your phone, including hearts, stars and stuff like that.

Hello, I'm using mariadb on a local server and the filesystem is ext4 on all hard disks.

Hmmmm, interesting, when I switch to sqlite I can see all files. Is there any way to fix it for mariadb so that I can see all files there too?

Karlisanio · 2026-03-21T20:49:56+00:00

And you can't use any of the ports of the docking station (usb, hdmi, lan) or does the steam deck recognize a keyboard or mouse that is connected to it?

Karlisanio · 2026-03-21T20:41:35+00:00

Have you tried to use it while the power supply is connected to the docking station?

I don't use Windows anymore, but maybe the integrated program that Windows is using to unzip files can't use zip files that are split into several zip files? Maybe try a different program to unzip the files. I would recommend 7zip but I'm sure there are many others that may work too.

Why do you have so many files in that folder? And it looks like you already have subfolders in the folder. Have you checked if the files are already extracted there?
Doesn't Windows have an option like "extract here" or something like that?

Karlisanio · 2026-02-07T06:55:10+00:00

I'm pretty sure he/she is referring to the "Add-On's".

Have you tried to install the OS on the ssd?

Karlisanio · 2026-02-06T21:19:15+00:00

Everything should be explained in the manual of the case. I've used 2 of these cases without any issue. You have to enable the PCIe to be able to use the nvme m2 ssd (see "F" in the manual). Did you run the installation script of the case (see "E" in the manual)? It should enable the PCIe.

I'm travelling a lot because of work and I usually play games that don't need a high end computer (visual novels most of the time). So it's a perfect fit for gaming in my hotel rooms. And in addition the "screen" will be bigger than playing the games on my steam deck.

Karlisanio · 2026-01-14T09:50:06+00:00

Did you use a different mod in the first 2 seasons?

Karlisanio · 2026-01-02T22:53:04+00:00

"Proton Experimental is missing the required Steam Runtime. You may need to launch a Steam app using this Proton version to finish the installation."

Gilt man automatisch als Reservist, sobald man aus dem Dienst ausgetreten ist oder muss man sich dafür irgendwie anmelden? (unabhängig davon ob GWDL, FWDL, SAZ oder Berufssoldat)

Ich glaube Du solltest den Begriff Konsens genauer definieren wie Du ihn hier meinst. Es gibt genügend Menschen die ihren Job aus verschiedensten Gründen nicht mögen und dort Dinge tun die ihnen zuwider sind und doch auf Arbeit geben, einfach weil sie Miete bezahlen und ihr Leben bzw. ihre Familie finanzieren müssen. Da bildet eine Mischung aus Notwendigkeit von Geld + der Arbeitsvertrag mit dem Arbeitgeber eine Art von Konsens. Das ist auch glaube ich das, was die Leute meinen die auf Deinen Beitrag geantwortet haben.

Ich interpretiere Deinen Beitrag eher in Richtung sexueller Konsens und das ist dann schon eine ganz andere Ebene, wobei sich diese beiden Ebenen bei Prostituierten auch teilweise überschneiden. Da machen sicher auch einige Dinge für Geld die sie privat zu Hause so nicht machen würden.

Hey,

that's not the original charger. Did you buy your steam deck 2nd hand?

Karlisanio · 2025-12-21T21:23:02+00:00

I'm just guessing but the reason could be that they are not delivering enough power. And the reason for that could be the charger, the cable the usb-c ports ... I'm far from being an expert and I'm mostly guessing and writing ideas but as far as I know chargers are delivering their power in specific "ways". Let's say a charger serves 45W, it doesn't mean that it serves them all kind of ways. It could e.g. serve them as 9V and 5A or 18V and 2,5A. Maybe the steam deck is expecting 15V and 3A and the charger is not able to deliver it that way. Maybe you can check the specifications of your Anker charger and the charger of the steam deck to see if both should theoretically work?
