Somehow, the thought of someone raised by AI being the modern day version of "raised by wolves" is hilarious to me.

Making magical gestures ..."By your performance, we mutually agree to the binding terms of this contract!"

Hogwarts instructor: No, you must abbreviate that, it's much too lengthy, and you'll be counterspelled. Try this instead: "Contractus Bindero!"

Are you using the wireless dongle? Deck doesn't seem to support it by default; when I looked into it, people had to do stuff through the console in order to make the dongle be picked up through the Deck.

I don't have an xbox controller, so I can't endorse what I found as being correct or safe... you have to give whatever it is system access, so be careful and look into it further so that you can make sure that you trust it.

But basically I just searched xbox 360 controller steam deck and reached reddit posts and YT videos covering it. If you decide to proceed, make sure you're using current info, because apparently older methods expired when Steam OS went to 3.5... and maybe they did again going to 3.6, though I didn't see that mentioned. Good luck!

Listen really closely, and you'll hear the gentle whisper of the slight disturbance of the air as he gets his gentle, barely-touch-skin wrist slapping.

Correct, I wasn't saying that they'd put it in one spot.

No. Every single one of them could pull $100,000,000 out of their personal money circulation and just store it in various stupidly safe places that barely return the rate of inflation. For all I know, maybe they all do that.

They have so much money that it'd be almost impossible to lose it all, but if they managed to do it somehow, then they could pull out that safe nest egg and still have more money than they could ever need in a lifetime. There's almost zero chance that they'll ever be poor.

You could argue that no one is ever truly remembered. Even people who are mentioned in history books and have their specific deeds remembered and preserved...

...within a couple of hundred years, there are no other humans left alive anywhere on the planet who personally knew said famous person. No one who knew them on any personal level, any more deeply that the handful of cold facts written down about them on record.

We are meant to be forgotten. Just another thing we have to come to terms with regarding our existence.

Not for low-vision people or older people who have issues with the smaller screen. Could be a solution if someone like that ended up with a Steam Deck and didn't realize they'd have an issue with the smaller screen, and maybe they just have a spare travel monitor lying around.

Also there's a contingent of people out there who just enjoy modifying stuff because they can. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

I considered doing this for a bit, but with the power and link cable requirements for the travel monitor, I decided against it. It was too much cordage in too small a space.

But glad it worked out for your needs OP!

What about a password type? Like the password has the same format, but is different for each site? Like if her birthday is May 25 and her favorite dog's name is Bunny, she can start it with that and then finish it with a differing sentence?

0525BunnyThisIsMyAmazon! 0525BunnyThisIsMyBank!

,,, et cetera.

It's not the most secure, but at least it should keep it from being brute forced and give her things she can easily remember. And if there's a leak and they have to be changed, you can just change the front part.

Wait, so calling past societies by an exonym completely invalidates all of the history that they were involved with?

Okay...?

No, you're not imagining things.

It's security footage of Sailor Moon stealing from a Target whilst eating a fried spaghetti sandwich.

 

My steps, if anyone has to replicate. I'm not sure if everyone will start from here... it's possible that you already have the prerequisite installed from another game. But I'll give my fix path in case anyone starts from the same place I did.

For me, what I saw to start: When running, a brief spin, and then about ten seconds later, a change back to the green play button. Complete no-go.

My fix path went:

  1. Started in Desktop mode, for maximum troubleshooting flexibility.

  2. Going to Manage > Properties, I changed BG III compatibility option to Proton Experimental.

  3. Tried relaunching game... this time, an error returned that I needed to run the game along with Windows Net Desktop runtime (.net 6.0.20).

This error had its own link button, but in case you don't get the link or error, but still want to see if this is your fix, the link took me here for the download.

  1. I added that downloaded file as a non-steam game in Steam, set its compatibility to Proton Experimental, then I ran it and installed it. (Note: For stuff like this, leave it in your Steam library after you're done with these steps... if you delete it later, it takes out the file path and it will stop working, and you'll have to do all this all over again.)

  2. Every person is going to get a unique directory number created for them in their file structure for this file. Find it by following the path in your file manager (default file manager is Dolphin): /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

Then sort by "last modified," and the file folder you're looking for will pop to the top (it should say something like "last modified two minutes ago," "last modified just now," or something like that... because you just did this, so you know this is the correct one). Write this number down, it's the unique-to-you location id I was talking about earlier.

Finally, go back to Baldur's Gate III and the Manage > Properties. In the launch options, paste exactly this command, except substitute your unique ID number in place of the string of Xs here:

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXX %command%

(Note: there is a space between your ID number and %command%.)

And if your issue was for missing the Net prerequisite, then this should get it running for you. Have fun!

 

Asking as I recently subscribed to a community that is fed by a bot which posts pretty frequently.

I subscribed to be able to mark the community to find it when I want to, but it's now dominating my subscribed feed due to volume of posts. If I could keep this one specific community from showing up in the feed, that would be the preferred solution. Thanks!
