You mean to tell me that the kind of people who didn’t have to buy one at launch aren’t convinced by a library consisting almost entirely of: games they already own on Switch 1, games available for less money on other platforms, DK Bananza, and MK World?

I (very briefly, to be honest) toyed with using my Steam Deck as my main computer a few years ago, and I remember sudo steamos-readonly disable made it behave a lot more like a regular Arch desktop.

I’ve recently found that Lutris’s install scripts haven’t been working, at least for the games I tried to install. Not to mention that it seems to take forever to download GOG games.

So I switched to Heroic and I haven’t looked back. It somehow downloads games faster than if I got the installer directly from the GOG website, and it has save synchronisation. Some games still require manual tweaks (I’ve had the most trouble with the classic Resident Evil trilogy), but a lot of them can be done through Heroic’s GUI.

When the install scripts are working, Lutris tends to be better than Heroic when it comes to manually installed community patches and the like - you’ll usually be given the choice between a script for the vanilla game and one for the patched version (In order to install KeeperFX through Heroic, I had to install it manually and then add it as a library option, for example.)

Off the top of my head:

Okay, that one got me.

This might not be quite what you’re looking for, since it’s an MMO, but there’s a lot of unique quest dialogue in Runescape for those who know what they need beforehand - whether because they’ve done it before or because they’re following a guide.

For example - Doric’s Quest - a simple early game quest where he asks for some items:

Player: You know, it’s funny you should require those exact things!

Doric: What do you mean?

Player: I can usually fit 28 things in my backpack and in a world full of quite literally limitless possibilities, a complete coincidence has occurred!

Doric: I don’t quite understand what you’re saying?

Player: Well, out of pure coincidence, despite definitely not knowing what you were about to request, I just so happened to have carried those exact items!

Doric: Oh my, that is a coincidence! Pass them here, please. I can spare you some coins for your trouble, and please use my anvils any time you want.

There’s even an extra line about having the exact quantities of the items if you aren’t carrying anything extra.

I don’t know how unpopular this is - I’ve never asked anybody:

Phone-optimised UIs suck, even on phones. One of the first things I do on setting up a new phone is tick ‘request desktop website’ in the browser.

Is “must make the dumbest fucking decision possible at all times” in the Mozilla CEO job description or something?

I have no CEO experience, but I’ll make stupid fucking decisions for a fifth of the salary you’re paying the current guy.

One could argue that the Steam Hardware Survey being opt-in means that it’s likely to overestimate the power of Steam users’ computers, since people with fancy rigs are far more likely to want to brag about it.
