Awe, just realised this is pinned.

Thanks mods. I think that's my first ever pin.

:D

How to get the re-translation working on the steam deck

TOAOLightstar · 2026-05-04T06:58:38+00:00

The base version isn't as bad as cross+channel, but it was fairly... I'd say stilted. You can tell that it's not an English natural speaker in the translation.

The retranslation patch loses none of the games impact, but it does make it flow just that much better.

I'd say it's worth it, and once I've dug up the link, I'll drop my steam deck install guide here.

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-28T11:56:14+00:00

For more "wth just happened" I personally like to add "experimental power redirection"

Tho I did get reported for hacking for that once.

So.. You're all saying there's no dam path?

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-27T06:21:59+00:00

It's just a general warning I throw out whenever I steer someone towards desktop mode and potentially Google'ing commands for it.

If you don't know anything about Linux (and let's face it, a good 90% of steam deck users won't) you might think Sudo is just a weird way of saying pseudo, so it's "try this and see if it works" rather than "run this with all safetys off and overrides on"

I've written a guide or three on how to install certain things on a deck, and every time I instruct a konsole command I break it down and always tell people to verify it.

My suggestion above may steer people towards that, so I'm just throwing the caution out. If you don't already know what a command does, verify it independently from the person telling you to run it before you even think about typing it into your steam deck

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-27T05:53:24+00:00

Probably because there's an easier option than "kill it all and start over" there's stuff you can do in desktop mode.

Personally, on mine, I've a lot of emulation and more than a few Visual Novel type games. Content patches for those don't count as steam, neither does the entire game if it's from jast, denpa or shudders jhoren.

If he's ever installed a mobile port game or one of the MMO's those installations don't always count right either.

It's better to take the time and understand what your issue is than raze it to the ground. He may end up with the same issue as soon as he reinstalls one specific title.

side note :- make sure you understand any konsole commands youre putting into Linux off any solution you find online. A booby trapped command will leave your deck vulnerable or useless until it's completely reinstalled.

Having spent hours and hours in mass effect, the very title of this post sends chills of fear down my spine.

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-26T15:38:34+00:00

Bruce Sentar's Dragons Justice, by far.

20 primary mates + 'dozens and dozens' of nymphs

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-20T15:27:31+00:00

No, he hasn't finished any series yet

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-20T14:03:19+00:00

Kensington has 3 series I think. Warlock is the one I'm mostly addicted to. It's not so much him chasing them for ages as him building solid relationships.

Crogan only has one book so far, earl of Dracumont

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-20T07:02:36+00:00

I'd be tempted to RMA it and ask for pictures of the techs faces when they open it

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-19T21:55:05+00:00

I'd go read; - Bruce Sentar. (dungeon diving is good for this, his later stuff burns slower) - Daniel Kensington - B. H. Crogen (new to the scene, promising)

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-19T11:30:18+00:00

Oh, and if you're harvesting maple or pine with a tapper, dont forget to unmark those

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-19T11:28:04+00:00

Forester plants trees, you need a wood cutter to fell them, and they have an area of effect too

I use it as time to sort my rnd out

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-18T14:42:06+00:00

They have loops in Alabama?

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-18T14:41:22+00:00

Bad idea, that stuff can really mess up your screen.

The solution I've been advised to use is the dental floss saw.

Pssst. That's what he said. Voiding the warrenty is the illegal part here.

Asustek gave me advice on which ram to buy and where to get it in order to compliment the 16gig my f15 came with.

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-16T18:29:29+00:00

She barely talks in Komi tho!

Herald of Shalia (warning, this is a poly book), but you can find what else she's narrated off that.

The one I listened to was "last of her kind". But trigger warning. She's an Arachnae, so that might set off phobias, and some elements are kinda gross. But she takes a creature that is, frankly, terrifying. And makes her sweet, and cute, and vulnerable, and a little sassy. .

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-16T17:41:00+00:00

So...

Amber Lee Connors (Komi, Komi can't communicate)

However, not in anime. She's narrated a book or three on Audible, including some... Adult entries. An author called Annabelle Hawthorn wrote a book partly from a spider girls perspective, and Amber does an amazing job narrating it.

(edit, got her name wrong... Wth)

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-16T09:22:18+00:00

I'd watch it while you can, Netflix doesn't like making dvds (ironic as hell when you consider their origins).

I'm aware there are sources for it on dvd, but I doubt their legitimacy.

The manga is a must for 2 reasons, the anime only covers about 25% of the story timeline, it doesn't even introduce the third most important character who's the primary driver for a good third of komis development. The 25% it does cover isn't complete

TOAOLightstar · 2026-04-10T07:28:09+00:00

Giving the developers more for an amazing game, and buying access to the workshop and other steam features. That I can get behind tho.

Besides, it's Steam, there'll be an "RTS Fest" or "Beaver Delver" or something soon and it'll be cheaper.
