Shapez2 is so fun. And it runs really well on the steam deck! Im at 500k buildings and one (non crystal) MAM Factory, and building things still run relatively smooth (eepecially compared to last year w my previous save)

(Maybe not when i move the camera a lot tho, lol)

Doing boolean maths for this game lol.

trying to make sth that alerts me when a factory is not at 100% throughput in Shapez 2.

im trying to work around the lack of sensitivity of the belt reader, which seems to treat anything >33% (60) of max capacity as a full belt.

Decided to read Greg Egan's "The Four Thousand, The Eight Hundred" before going to sleep, and now it's haunting me. Did not need all this emotion at 4 in the morning.

Just finished reading Greg Egan's Orthogonal series and I can't get it out of my head. Came for the interestin sci fi premise, stayed for the surprisingly amazing emotional and action packed story. www.gregegan.net/ORTHOGONAL/O...

i really wanted to savor Scavengers Reign and only just finished the series. probably one of the best animated shows of all time. the last 30 seconds contains a literal novel of worldbuilding that i can't stop thinking about www.polygon.com/23923003/sca...
The sci-fi adventure Scavengers Reign is an anomalous alien wonder

Having lots of fun w Last Call BBS, Zachtronics' final game. Well, collection of mini games really. This one's from the automation mini game "20th Century Food Court"

That being said, I'd still recommend the show though, as long as you're not as into pedanticly examining time travel mechanics as I am.

It's a great mystery show, and like I said the characters and settings are interesting. I'd love it if more like it are made.

I really enjoyed most of the timey wimey show "Bodies" on Netflix, but damn they dropped the ball really hard on the last half of the finale, time travel mechanics-wise.

Everything felt well oiled and self consistent until that last half hour. Honestly frustrating.

Heroic launcher 2.10 isn't launching games for me in steam deck game mode.

In desktop mode it works if I launch the game directly from heroic, but doesn't if I go through steam. Seems like it crashes heroic too when I do so.

I'd investigate further but it's late.

Is there really no way to migrate a spotify account away from Facebook? Spotify docs say the only ways are to either to deactivate your fb account (lol), or just create a new one and abandon the fb-linked account

Really itchin for a traffic/road management game rnow. Something that's a bit more complex than mini motorways, but only just.
