  • The only actual solution crypto does have is, as one would guess, encrypted transactions.

    Banks have a use for it, financial institutions who want to send money from A to B have a use for it. Countries in civil war and strife who need funds and are blocked on most other methods have a use for it.

    I don’t get the “doesn’t have a purpose” meme when it’s written right on crypto’s sleeve, and it is used for those purposes, and does a good job of it.

    If a website creates its own cryptocurrency that means they are in control of it. If Reddit, Plebbit, and Brave really gave any sort of a shit about crypto as it exists, they would’ve used LTC or BCH or something easily transferrable that can’t rug because it isn’t in their hands to rug it, but then that defeats the purpose of milking short-term gamblers of their funds, which was the entire point.





  • I run Stalker: Gamma on a Steam Deck.

    Tips: Install it using Windows and just move the Anomaly and Gamma folders over to the same directory. Make sure to pick a wine version with esync and fsync patches or it will run like shit.

    As for controlling Stalker with a controller… I’m working on it, myself. I pretty much bound everything as you’d expect in a normal FPS and made the back buttons work for healing items and melee. Select for the PDA, Start for pause.










  • I mean, if you’re on the fringe of wanting to play things that are almost incompatible with the system, sure?

    I don’t really touch Epic, Ubisoft or EA. They don’t really offer anything I’d deem fun. I played COD, I like CS and TF2 more. Lucky me. Roblox also looks like my definition of “jank”, and it’s never interested me. We have Gmod and Minecraft. All good here for janky fun.

    I do have one tiny hole in my gaming portfolio on deck. Stalker: GAMMA. The only real viable method of installing it would be to install Call of Pripyat, then copy my GAMMA install from my PC’s Windows partition. Doable, I’m just lazy and I’ve got more than enough to enjoy as-is.

    But the zone will call me back soon enough, blin.

    I had a 15 year marriage that ended rough, and I’ve spent the last three years of it and the last year out of it, basically suicidal. I’ve gone on a date or two, and realized I can’t be happy with anyone until I’m happy. I try more every day, but it’s hard to shake off the idea that the love of your life already came and went, and everything from here on out is just like, some old piece of machinery trying to stay relevant in a world that doesn’t need or want it anymore. Online dating also feels more like a ripoff than something actually meant to work and I’ve decided if I ever do date, it will just be inside my current friend circle, and since there’s no one there… hm, yep.
