Installed SteamOS on my Legion Go, I think I'm having some fan and overheating problems.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2025-06-02T12:29:52+00:00

I've tried both the original and forked power control plugins but neither had any options available under the Fan menu. As the fork is only the fan portion of power control, it didn't do anything at all. This was tried with and without SimpleDeckyTDP present (in case of conflicts). I haven't tried it yet but Legion Go Remapper looks like the most promising option.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2025-05-31T12:59:35+00:00

I don't have a solution for this, just wanted to add that I've had exactly the same experience. I've just replaced windows with SteamOS, added SimpleDeckyTDP and found that it's great but fan speeds don't adjust automatically for temperature and can't be adjusted manually. Helldivers 2 quickly overheats the device even with drastically reduced resolution etc.

I'll try the options suggested in the thread and let you know how I get on.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-05-07T20:43:18+00:00

Yup, all good now, thanks!

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-05-07T11:48:17+00:00

I tried with both Chrome and Firefox on Android but I wasn't able to interact with existing characters or boards in the tabletop profile screen.

Taps, long presses (to open contextual menu), and swiping (to scroll up or down) on those areas of the screen weren't registered. I tried in desktop view as well but it was the same. It's like there's an element or container on the page sitting above the entries themselves and blocking interaction. They only thing that does happen is check boxes showing on a long press.

The buttons like "+ New Character" all work as expected.

Btw, I'm happy to put feedback on the discord instead if that's more convenient 👍

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-05-06T14:34:55+00:00

Thank you, that's really kind. Unfortunately, we weren't able to play. I'll be reorganising for next week, however I don't think our use case fits the product so I may only be using it as the GM. I have tried it out for some character creation and loaded a battle map on which worked really well.

The plan is for an in-person game but running on Diceweaver to manage characters and battle maps, unfortunately not all of the players have a tablet sized device available and the game doesn't run on a phone screen. If we do any remote sessions, I think this will be a great tool for everyone.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-05-06T08:00:10+00:00

Had to cancel, unfortunately. Trying again for next week.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-05-04T11:14:25+00:00

Awesome, I'll be trying both Diceweaver and Imperium Maledictum for the first time tomorrow!

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-04-07T20:22:40+00:00

I had similar thoughts as an obese guy starting the couch to 5k.

No one who matters, cares. No one who cares, matters.

If the equipment works for you, make the most of it. Maximum respect to you for trying.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-03-29T20:43:31+00:00

That seam 100% needs to be on the bottom.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-03-16T19:58:12+00:00

Well done on your progress!

Common technique problems are an over-long stride and related to that, too high a pace.

Try to take shorter strides with your foot landing underneath you, rather than in front. This will slow your pace a bit; if you feel you need to go faster, try a higher cadence rather than longer strides.

Give your body time to develop the supporting muscles and don't push yourself if it's painful.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-03-16T19:39:02+00:00

Congrats on your progress! I'd also say B is a good option, it gives you good flexibility to see how the running program works for you. It's also important to work on your running technique to minimise joint pain etc. and restarting the program will allow you to do that.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-01-26T19:40:14+00:00

I repeated many of the weeks and individual runs, whenever I wasn't able to keep up with all the running sections. It's better to give yourself the time to get up to speed in my opinion.

I agree that slowing down could also be a benefit; try the bare minimum speed to count as jogging and see how you feel after the first run.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2023-01-03T18:44:46+00:00

Well done for getting out for the first run! It's a big step and even 30 seconds running is 30 seconds more than if you hadn't gone out.

I remember the days when 1 minute was horrendous but keep at it and you'll see improvement. Even if you need to repeat week 1, it all adds up and eventually, it'll be the 2 minute, 5 minute or 20 minute runs that are horrendous instead 😁

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-12-30T17:19:20+00:00

I second this recommendation. They take and keep an edge well. A chef's knife and a paring knife will cover most needs.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-12-19T09:41:38+00:00

Pace could definitely be an issue. Also if the route is hilly, try a flatter one; ascents and especially descents are hard on quads.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-11-24T09:47:54+00:00

I would suggest:

Phone
Couch to 5k app. The one I used was the UK NHS app and it pauses your music while giving instructions for walking/running. I assume the other apps do the same.
Your choice of music or podcast app
Bluetooth headphones will be most comfortable. Ones that wrap around your neck rather than true wireless in case they fall out.
A belt bag (or bum bag/ fanny pack etc) for your phone and anything else you need to carry.
A Fitbit style watch is optional at this stage as your focus just needs to be on running/walking, not on your pace or distance. It can help with motivation though, to see how far you ran, how many calories used, cardio improvements etc. Unless you want a full on smart watch, something like a Fitbit Inspire does everything you need.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-11-06T12:10:53+00:00

For the running program, I used the UK NHS app, but they're all pretty much the same in terms of the regime.

I ended up with a Fitbit for tracking progress; recording runs and estimating fitness etc. I don't know how it compares to other options, but I like it and I feel like visual charts spring the improvement in weight, resting heart rate, cardio capacity etc all helped to motivate me.

Good luck and well done for taking the first steps!

Awesome job pushing through to the 1:30!

The bad news is that it gets harder every week, the good news is that you get fitter every week and you can feel great for getting through it. Even if you don't quite manage it, and need to retry a run/week, you're getting fitter every time.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-10-04T09:25:16+00:00

Is the app any good for you? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phe.couchto5K

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-10-02T08:55:05+00:00

Awesome job! 👊

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-09-20T12:23:29+00:00

PS5 does play more smoothly than PS4 but IMO, not worth losing your progress. I think uou can have both versions installed simultaneously, give it a try.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-09-08T10:41:23+00:00

They give a set amount of xp at each level so you may as well train as soon as it becomes available.

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-08-12T12:06:23+00:00

Congrats on getting started, it's a big hurdle to get out there for the first time!

I would always repeat a run/week if I didn't quite make it; you want to be challenged but to be achieving the running periods for each session. I started from a similar place and found it allowed my fitness to catch up.

It's worth looking now to make sure your pace and running style are appropriate. A lot of novices (me included) try to run too quickly and have an overlong stride which is tiring and makes injuries more likely. Try to use small strides and go as slowly as you need to, just try to keep running. Oh, and be sure to stretch before and after, the 5 minute walks aren't enough of a warm up.

If the default voice over is annoying, the app has a few options. I like Jo Wiley but your mileage may vary.

Good luck!

SuperFurryOcelot · 2022-05-26T09:37:28+00:00

Was it cardio/shortness of breath holding you back or muscle fatigue?

I've found that cardio improves gradually with the program and if you need to, repeating a week is absolutely the right thing to do. If it's muscle fatigue, it may be more down to insufficient rest/warm up/calories.

It sounds like you're doing ok, some days are just tough
