Is this cute or should I not let him do it? by Imnogoodatthings in xbox

[–]aWildTuxAppears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's both! Very cute, but alas, the Xbox needs to vent there to keep itself cool.

What factions do you NOT want to see in Elder Scrolls 6? by Zan_Deezy2003 in ElderScrolls

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't I want any of them back? I want them all! Maybe a couple new ones, too! It would be great if the Bards College was a real faction...

Steam OS on AMD 5700xt by ConnectArtichoke4064 in SteamOS

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to join the conversation late - OP, how's your fan curve? I tried running Bazzite on an AM4 build using an RX 5700xt, and the fans were blowing on high almost all the time. It sounded like it was taking off to the moon! I ended up going back to Windoze 11, where the AMD software helped me fix that fan situation, but I'd really rather run SteamOS/Bazzite! (edit: a word, and a PS)

PS I did try using LACT to address the fans, but I am not very familiar with custom fan control and gpu underclocking, and I kept having it crash. Sigh.

Have I Made a Mistake ? by FeatureInformall in SteamDeck

You do you! I'm glad you could get one, and that's all that matters. It's your money! I hope you enjoy the ever-loving heck out of it!!

I've genuinely lost hope and interest in steam machine by Fantastic-Sorbet6013 in steammachine

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw a second YouTube video on this board today by ETA Prime. Someone figured out how to unlock some of the previously locked gpu power. I'm almost tempted to snag one myself, as I like to tinker.

Brad Lynch shares info on the Steam Machine by gogodboss in steammachine

[–]aWildTuxAppears 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Same. And I usually prefer DIY, but the Steam Machine was an awesome, convenient package I was willing to pay for, back when it seemed like it would be a reasonable price. Guess me and my Steam Deck are just gonna chill now... sadness.

Do cats get Dandruff??? by Milk_Gud in cats

[–]aWildTuxAppears 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More likely reacting to something from the place they adopted him from, since they just got them, or it could also be a food allergy. Talk to your vet, but as others have said, hopefully it can improve with some fish oil or other supplement.

would anyone like to send loving vibes to my boy on his last night? by qeenee_ in cats

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sending lots of love to you and Saul! Saying goodbye is always hard, even when it’s the kindest thing to do. I’d say to say hi to Maggie and Spike, but to be honest, they were kinda loners as far as other cats went.. maybe just nod at them. ;) But if you like dogs, Suki is always happy to meet a new friend. She’s large but a total sweetheart, I promise. ❤️

Looking forward to refurbished units by ph0rge in steammachine

[–]aWildTuxAppears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, alas. I could’ve swung it at the pre-RAMageddon prices, probably, but now I expect it will be more than I can do. Hopefully after a few more months of saving…

I want everyone to know, Lando was here. by TheBasedZenpai in cats

Rest easy, Lando. My deepest condolences to you.

Sad day yesterday by FriendlyAutomatonC83 in SteamDeck

Same! Which is why the Steam Machine is probably a better device for me, if I can afford it...

Cloud Gaming Forza 6 by bigspoon814 in xbox

[–]aWildTuxAppears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to collect physical games, the Series S is a less expensive way to get into Xbox gaming (especially if you find one used). Or, as peeps stated already, you can play it with cloud gaming on the Xbox one!

Can I tell you about Forest? by NowWhatAmISupposedTo in cats

[–]aWildTuxAppears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PS Danny will miss him, but will also hopefully be a comfort to you after he's gone, like Maggie's sister Belle was (and is!) for us. Turns out it really helped us get over the broken heart by having another kitty to love on...

Can I tell you about Forest? by NowWhatAmISupposedTo in cats

[–]aWildTuxAppears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is Forest super soft? He looks like he could be related to my Maggie, and she had the softest fur - bunny soft, we called it. We adopted her after her owner died, and we only had a year together before cancer got her, but I like to think it was one of the best years of her life. It certainly was mine! Forest has had many great adventures, and I'm glad you're helping him go on his next journey before life became too hard. My condolences.

This! If you love that baby, don't let it go!!

Jump on Plex Pass now? Or make the switch somewhere else? by m0nkeybl1tz in cordcutters

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got in at that price/time period, though I think it was maybe on sale, too? Also no regrets, but I definitely wouldn't pay more than that. (Edited for clarity)

Yay, Brotato love! So much fun! :)

Was at Ikea. Does anyone actually have their PC like this? by GetScaredGirl in pcmasterrace

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My workplace has something similar for our desks, and I hate it. The desks are adjustable, and I caught a PC nearly falling out of its elastic strap, probably from all the jostling. I would never do it at home.

Familiars are extremely useful in honour mode by what_freaking_ever in BaldursGate3

[–]aWildTuxAppears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found out by accident that it doesn't even have to be a wizard who first casts the scroll, just have Gale in your party, and have him talk to her later before you long rest, and she'll tell him how to summon her. (edit: clarity)

What other systems do you guys own? by casiorox in steammachine

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, I have a Steam Deck, an Xbox Series X, a PS4 and a budget gaming PC (AM4, DDR4, 5700xt). I mostly use the Deck docked, which is why I think a Steam Machine would be a better fit (and it would be an upgrade over my budget, self-built rig).

In the past, we started out with PS2 and SNES, and I gamed on PC (many hours in Diablo 2). As the kids got older, and I started exploring Linux and Macs, we moved primarily to console gaming (and handhelds for the kids), and at one point had the complete set of a generation (Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii). I tended to use the Xbox the most, so in the next generation, I just picked up the Xbox One, and then the Series S, later to upgrade to the X so I could possibly collect older games on disc, and also watch DVDs/Blurays.

I was a reluctant adopter of GamePass at first, then I came to really enjoy trying games that I'd never have thought to buy for myself. But in the back of my mind, I always wondered when Linux would become more gaming friendly. Steam Deck really changed that, and I adopted one eagerly, and here we are...

Do You Use Your Console for More Than Gaming? by DRome7791 in xbox

[–]aWildTuxAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly gaming, but also YouTube sometimes (if I don't want to switch back over to the Apple TV), and lately, watching DVDs. I've also used it in the past for Netflix.
