Unfortunately splitscreen and local multiplayer games are getting pretty rare. There are some steam curators that make lists of them, here’s one that I know of for local 2-player games:

sorry to reply to this old comment but i just wanted to say the comma after the } on line 21 breaks it, remove that and it imports in and works great. thanks for the code!

I hope you stay strong. Outside of terrible news I’ve had to take breaks from lemmy because of the “Floridians deserve this” sentiment I’ve seen around a lot.

gotta mention Leadhead for gaming and more

I use a pretty basic and ugly fb2k layout with the Waveform Seekbar addon up top and love it.

they should be, they’re put there to drain out spills.

here’s a video of someone pulling a trunk drain plug out of a car:

not a volkswagen but it’s a very common feature for cars to have

you can pull out one of those round black plugs to drain the water then towel dry or leave it in sunlight for a little while

They also seem to have replaced the Steam and QAM buttons with home (?) and menu buttons

I always keep a notepad in my inventory with the first page dedicated to my “dead fuckers list” of broken servers

if you ever end up getting a steam deck, outer wilds runs well on it. you won’t get 60fps on highest settings or anything but I played through the whole thing with the frame rate limited to 45 and it was a great experience.

here’s a post where alyaza talks about beehaw joining the anti-meta fedi pact

I’ve never heard of it until now but this is very nicely mixed together. thanks for the link!

If you’ll allow me to nerd out about drum and bass real quick:

OCD by Royalston

An aptly named, obsessively produced drum and bass album. Not a huge fan of the second track, Arps of Fury, but the next track and on I feel it really picks up. Black Cloud is incredible, it’s got such an atmosphere to it.

Zawadi by Kimyan Law

Kimyan Law was only 22 when he produced this amazing work. No fat sausages here, just an incredibly well mixed and mastered album. Magic is a very beautiful, minimal track with purposeful breaks.

Split the Atom by Noisia

Very popular release but I have to mention it. The masters of neurofunk in their prime.

Zeitgeist by Camo and Krooked (the official youtube playlist has teaser tracks for some reason, spotify should have the full album)

Another popular release. Nostalgic and futuristic at the same time, reaching back for classic rave and funk influences while evolving the sound of DnB. This album is the first time I ever heard an “anti-drop”, where the buildup transitions into a smooth and measured drop, every instrument purposeful and sharp. Ruhepuls is a favorite track of mine.

edit: Have to mention Flawless by Electrosoul System

Another album reaching back with rave influences and 5+ minute tracks. Unique and interesting sounds and percussion, clearly very refined with tons of detail. Fake Snake is a favorite, combining with the staring cat album art makes a very hypnotic track.

yes! I bought it when it went on sale some weeks ago and I’ve been enjoying it immensely on the deck. I’ve noticed the crashes reduced dramatically when I stopped putting the deck to sleep with HZD still running. It seems to still crash rarely when I go to the “manual save” screen if I play it for hours on end, but closing and reopening the game every now and then during long play sessions seems to have helped a lot.

HZD is the only game I’ve played on deck so far where the gyro aiming works as joystick. I was completely blown away, I’ve never been able to use gyro as anything but as mouse before, and I’ve been doing gyro aiming on steam controller for years.
