Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

What's the best recommended controller for the Deck at this time? Also, if you have Metal Gear and use a PlayStation controller does the game recognize them as pressure sensitive or do you have to play the same as you would with an Xbox controller?

Only if you're emulating the PS2 games or PS3 HD collection and using a DS3.

Fallout 4 is the biggest argument against giving Link dialogue in Zelda games.

Fallout 3/NV had excellent combat consisting of clicking on enemies to apply relevant combat stats to them. The real gameplay was the system management, not the gunplay

The aesthetics of 4 are particularly bad even more so than 3/NV. Like I get it’s a choice of people still living in decrepid buildings and ruins of the old world but it doesnt work in 4 when you’re also pushing building communities and nurturing towns in the wasteland.

I played New Vegas for the first time last year and played fallout 4 near release. The base stuff was dumb and the story stupid but I liked it and had fun. NV was harder to get through, maybe due to it's age but I finished it at least. Played great on deck.

I don't mind the wasteland asthetic per-se, what I hate is that everything you build looks like rusted junk as well.

There should be some way to spend more resources for not-junk versions of items and structures.

Also, the ridiculous sci-fi poo poo you build *also* looks like rusted junk, despite not being an old device but rather something you built from the ground up.

The aesthetic of Fallout 4 really rubbed me the wrong way for reasons I’m not quite sure of.

Just seemed really inconsistent to me in a way I don’t recall 3 or NV being. It’s entirely possible that’s just because 3/NV looked like complete poo poo, though.

Dunno if its been recommended in this thread before, but Tann put out a version of Slice & Dice on Steam yesterday. Seeing as I've spent probably 20-40 hours on the shitter playing this game on the Deck I figured I'd recommend it here. It's close to reaching Balatro levels of addictiveness, but is an awesome dice-based roguelite in its own right. Anyway, there's technically no controller support, but the default controller bindings set the right thumbstick to the mouse and the left and L2/R2 to Undo/Select which works well enough.

Don't use your electronics while making GBS threads unless you're wiping them down with antimicrobial wipes (this damages the device).

It's a great way to get poo poo germs on your device, which you will then touch *after* washing your hands.

Great way to get pinkeye.

Fallout 3 was also bad at this part lol, I'm almost convinced they made most of the skills and weapons useless as a homage to Fallout 1 because otherwise there's no explanation for it

like setting NV aside as this completely separate thing that only really shares a name and an engine but is otherwise a completely different design philosophy, 3 > 4 is a pretty direct improvement, all the bad parts (story, cohesion, choice, skills mattering, etc) are still bad but the stuff they improved on (combat, exploration, etc) is such a huge leap from one to the next

I've had my first deck (oled) for less than a week but holy poo poo, its loving great.

I'll just enjoy it and wait awhile before digging into Decky and all that.

I've already put some good time into Persona 4 Golden. The art style pops on oled, obviously.

I then ended up sliding down a rabbit hole of installing a half-dozen or so games. The talk of Fallout 4 got me to reinstall and drat, its got its flaws but yeah, its pretty cool to have this running on a handheld.

Ok, all joking aside, basically anything in your bathroom when you flush your toilet has fecal coliform bacteria on it, full stop. It has nothing to do with wiping, it's flushing that spreads the germs around.

Closing the lid before flushing helps, but does not entirely eliminate this.

These bacteria are gross, but not particularly harmful if you wash your hands and keep your bathroom tidy (although make sure you're rinsing off your toothbrush before using it.)

But you really don't want to be taking things into and out of the bathroom when using the toilet unless you clean them, because touching them after washing your hands will just spread the germs around.

One of the first things I learned in nursing school was just how bad the vast majority of people are at washing their hands, including myself. We had to rub a water soluble fluorescent dye on our hands, then wash them. Then our instructors pulled out the black light and showed us just how much surface area we missed.

It was eye opening.

Anyway this has been your Steam Deck Medical Minute, brought to you by Charmin.

Mythbusters is entertaining, but it's just not particularly rigorous in it's experimentation.

Fecal coliforms may be present in up to 44% of homes, and E. coli in up to 15%.

They spread extremely easily and are explicitly transmitted by the fecal/oral route.

Anyway, someone should make a sequel to "Surgeon Simulator" called "Epidemiologist Simulator". The controls being terrible would mesh great with things like swabbing contaminated surfaces or typing up reports of regulatory noncompliance that have no enforcement authority.

I understand the shock value of learning that toilets geyser poo poo particles onto everything in your home but it’s clearly not an actual issue. Wash your hands and don’t drive yourself into a panic attack swabbing a metal handle on a subway car.

Context is also part of it. Obviously yeah if you’re a nurse you need to be on top of that. You’re around people with open wounds and compromised immune systems all day.

But if you’re a healthy adult with a healthy immune system? You have a lot less to worry about.

Wash your hands, don’t lick the toilet seat, but I don’t think you need to quarantine anything that’s been in a bathroom.
