Playing Dragon Age Veilguard. Just finished the first quest, and it’s a lot of fun so far.

I’ve actually been shocked by how little production drops during winter. For example, we Feb & March, our coldest months this year, we produced 1.75 MWh/month, which actually beats every summer month before it, and is only beaten by this August, which was our highest producing month ever at 2.04MWh. Most summer months before that were closer to 1.5. Only thing I need to do is clear the panels after it snows.

Yea, that sounds like it sucked. Glad it didn’t happen to me.

Oh man, I loved my Surface Pro 3. I used it as my main device for home and work for years. Not invalidating your experience… I’ve used devices that others thought were great that I thought were garbage.

The demo is short, but it plays well on deck.

Thanks!

Sweet, thanks for the info

I was going to get this, but then read that the new DRM made it unplayable on deck. Is that not true?

I loved Linux at work when I had a sysadmin. Shit worked great. At home I started using Linux and despite some driver issues, it was mostly good. Then I started working for myself (so no more sysadmin). Some Linux update totally screwed up my computer and I lost a lot of work. It also became too much work to try and configure the apps that I needed to use for work. Switched to windows and it’s been pretty smooth sailing. Still boot up Linux now and again for this or that, but I don’t trust it enough as a daily driver for my needs.

I use the travel case if I take it anywhere, but I haven’t seen any need for a protective case.

Probably more than 50% on steam deck over the last 6 months, though overall I’ve slowed down quite a bit since getting it a year ago.

The last major game I got was Endless Dungeon when that released (maybe in October?), and I did maybe 2 sessions on pc, then played the rest of the time on the deck. So it’s still my preferred platform.

I got Jagged Alliance 3 over the holiday, and found it visually a bit too small on the deck, so I plan to play some on PC until I have a good handle on the game, then switch back to the deck. It’s kind of similar to Solasta, which I first played on pc, but now primarily play on Deck.

Whenever we cross state lines we raise our hands and go “whoop, whoop.” I have no idea when this started, but it brings us joy whenever we’re on a road trip.

Yep, I use for Xbox cloud gaming on steam deck.

No

Fact: I’m shocked Linux Mint is still a thing. Fact: it screwed me over in the past. I don’t see how either of those statements can, by definition, be uninformed or not still valid. What are you trying to prove? I don’t need you to validate my life experiences. Why are you acting like you need me to validate your life choices?

I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I was genuinely shocked that Linux Mint is still around. Haven’t heard about it in years. You’re free to not take that personal.

Details are fuzzy at this point, but I believe it was a series of updates that kept having issues and finally one update that completely screwed up the machine, and in trying to fix it I ended up losing some important data. I was pissed off and got an MS Surface, and I kind of loved it, so haven’t been Linux since.

Huh, I’m honestly shocked Mint is still a thing. It screwed me over so bad many years ago, I’ve been Windows ever since.
