FOSS
Many older and/or casual gamers who’ve stopped following gaming and are living under the idiomatic rock would absolutely love a steam deck. And a significant portion of those would find it an upgrade over their laptop for Office and shit.
Old linux gamer here. Got steam deck asap when it came out, because my old tabletop for office and shit had an ssd failure.
Loving it.
Although newest AAA games will be too much for the steam deck quite soon, but as a linux gamer I’ve been without newest AAA games before, so no biggy.
Less hardware demanding indie games are on the rise.
I switched my laptop for a desktop a long time ago since I always work from home anyway, but yesterday I had to go the city my company’s office is in and thought: “I can work with the steam deck for one day”. It worked perfectly well.
Today someone asked me if I was really working on a PSP.
Will a steam deck run Satisfactory? I’m wanting to buy one because it would be great fun to carry a bunch of my games with me.
Before the unreal engine 5 update it ran great. Haven’t tried after, though, could still be ok.
I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard setup on my deck to run fps and 4x games, hell most of the games, and satisfactory ran great on the deck(my only reference point is a 5 year old laptop that continues to chug along, satisfactory ran as well, if not better, on the deck than it does on the laptop)
I actually recently got an ROG Ally cause I have prepaid GamePass and felt I was just watching TV instead of playing. I felt so guilty wasting my subscription and watching good games come and go. But once I got the Ally, I’ve been playing more than I ever been since I was a kid. Even when the wife is watching her shows I can just chill with her playing games.
I didn’t even think about how you can “spend” time with others using handhelds. I like this idea :)
Honestly USB C adapters. If you EDC a portable power bank it’s worth looking into a USB C to micro and thunderbolt adapter. It’s a lot easier than carrying around multiple cords and an easy way to help out friends and coworkers.
I think I got mine for a few dollars on Ali Express
Not exactly sell but Linux tbh. I feel like most people would agree with all the justifications I have but am too drunk to type for not using Microsoft or Apple but simply are not aware of how much these monopolies of the tech market encroach on their privacy. More people need to be aware and take action
Good flashlights. You can get a great one that’s rechargeable and super bright for something like 30€. At the same price you can get a crappy one at your local hardware store which is the options most people choose.
Genuinely curious, because it’s quite apparently about lifestyle in general: how often do you need a flashlight, especially a good/bright one? I mean, a bright one is nice to have, but it’s not like I’d need one. Basically I can understand why people just pick whatever they happen to find from the first store they walk into, and they’re happy with their purchase.
Currently, I don’t even own a flashlight. I rarely need one and when I do, I’ve just used my phone’s flashlight and it’s been just fine for whatever I needed to do.
Literally carry one every day. 90% of the time, when it gets used it’s not a need, but it was really nice to have. If you drop a screw or something small, you can either crawl around looking for it for 5 minutes, or you can shine a flashlight across the floor and see the shadow in 5 seconds.
I watch literal doctors and mechanics try to finagle their phones with the light on into weird places and I have no idea why more people don’t carry a flashlight.
Sure, not everyone needs one, but if your job depends on needing extra light on a regular basis…
Bonus points if you have a flashlight with a beveled edge for self-defense. Good old blind and bash!
Flashlight is essential for winter in rural places, for working on cars or lighting up awkward places. I’d rather put in place a torch or flexi torch and have it fall over instead of my mid range phone which may lead to the screen scratching. Generally too, using my phone where I need a torch simply exposes my phone to risks.
Sugaring over waxing. No infections, way less pain, same smooth results.
This sounds like either fashion advice or cooking advice, and I don’t want to know which is is! I’ll ask the wife if she’s tried “sugaring” over waxing and see how she responds.
It’s skin advice, lol. If you’re looking to rip hair out, sugaring is the far superior choice. I get a Brazilian sugaring done ever 5 weeks, and I pop right out of my appointment without pain or any of the other waxing ill side effects.
Can you do it at home? Or do you need to go to a salon?
I get a Brazilian done, so I go to a professional to do it. I know you can do it at home, and I might try my legs or pits that way. But not a Brazilian, lol. I do know it’s easy to make. Googling how to make it will show lots of results.
Boo bring back 70s muff. Muff is the right stuff.
For some, sure. Not for me.
My mind was blown when I found this little plastic ball in a sports store which you can put between your back and a wall and you can massage yourself. It works wonders within even seconds of using it. It’s only a few euro and I used to waste hundreds of euro on massages. And you can take it anywhere because it’s small and light.
My doctor prescribed me a lacrosse ball for a bad shoulder once, for exactly what you described. It’s slightly rubbery but really dense, and it’s apparently the perfect thing for tight muscles.
The one I have has soft spikes all over.
Edit: FYI don’t run it over yer spine.
Your car’s extended warranty.
I can’t tell if this is memeing, isn’t basically everyone tried to convince them to buy it?
Thanks!
No worries my dude!
I’ve had 2 cars under dealer extended warranty, and both warranties have paid for themselves in double. I wouldn’t get a warranty/insurance outside of the dealer except for expensive electronics.
Truth.
The Truth is hard to find.
Vertical mice. I had occasional wrist pain from using a computer, which was annoying since then I’d had to take a break from the computer for about a day to recover. Got a vertical mouse and haven’t had any issues since. Took maybe a day to get used to it too.
Bidet attachments for your toilet are about $30 and you can install it yourself with zero skills in 30 minutes.
Wouldn’t you pay $30 to never have to wipe shit again? Just dry off and that’s it. Greatest thing imaginable.

Problem is that it is aimed at socially awkward and inept individuals who do not like to engage with one another. I try to start conversations but the only reactions I get are from pissy communists
So Reddit except socially inept pissy communists instead of socially inept pissy liberals.
