It’s another of the many doom clones out there these days. Love the aesthetic though.

Hard to tell but wouldn’t be difficult to strip down and clean up the parts for rebuild or selling.

Probably tossed because of clogged parts that are easily fixed or replaced. I’d grab them and clean it up. Go from there.

Consider reinstalling it. Delete all settings and what not. Possibly reset your entire system if need be.

These are not common problems with this collection of games.

That doesn’t pass for poutine here. Don’t generalize.

Yeah the deck takes practice to get semi decent in fps. I’ve been trying to research if it’s possible to counter recoil movements in game with the deck controls. Nothing yet but maybe someone will figure a work around.

I asked this question last well. Someone said it’s been noted and in the works with other decisions.

Counter strike works well on the deck.

Insurgency sandstorm works well on the deck. Needs to be plugged in as it goes through battery fast.

Battlebit Remastered is the latest that works well. Remap some buttons and it’s great.

I use gyro aiming on all of these (turns on with using L2 for aiming.)

I was an early buyer of the game when it just was on Ubisoft and love every second of it. Recently I’ve had problems with my PCs gpu and am unable to play it on that and ubisoft launcher doesn’t work well on my steam deck. So it’s sadly been awhile since playing it.

I got hooked on Steep and i think that they kept the feel of snowboarding pretty similar to that.

Ants farming aphids on the ends of your cherry branches. I’m dealing with it too. Can try neem oil but it’s doing nothing for me. I try to avoid serious pesticides but I had some permithrin laying around so sprayed the leaves to take care of the ants and aphids. I have dogs so have to be very careful. Also don’t want to harm bees.

You can try a systemic aphid killer. Start it early next year to prevent this.

Getting other launchers to run can be tough so that’s probably why you’d think it won’t work. But to me it’s not worth the effort.

I’d go with emulating. Any PS2 FIFA game will work great. I’ve gotten WiiU roms to run well. People have gotten Switch games to work (I tried BotE but I need to organize the game files on a separate computer first and see if I can get it to work.) PS3 was a hassle to setup and won’t even work after hours of setup. Ymmv.

There are some indie games on steam you can try as well but they are more arcady.

Emulation of PS2 has been flawless. The setup is easy and you can get good looking graphics (I’m playing ratchet and clank series right now. 1080p makes the models look really nice. )

PS3 has been near impossible for me to get running on my SteamDeck. Others have said they got it working with titles being hit or miss.

Turks cap is far larger than the plumbago.

Anise hyssop is native and will get you similar height. Gregg’s Mistflower. Salvia greggii. Rock Penstemon. Plenty more options.

Check out Texas Smartscape to help you out.

Dungeons and Daddies Sitcom D&D Dragon Friends (They have Beef Babes podcasts on their twitch page with a backlog of videos too)

Most podcasts in this genre are too low production for me to keep paying attention. I’ve gone through at least 50 different ones.

It would be better long term to actually legislate the farmers and commercial water usage instead of let them do whatever the hell they want.

Just one cookbook is my go to. I take tidbits from recipes to mix I not o my recipes for Miso Ramen / Stock and trying new Asian dishes I just learn about.

Bon Apetit for variations on recipes. I use the cooked butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe lost from here. I used to grab Brad Leone recipe sheet before me busted out (get his cookbook if you can.)

Budget Bytes for when you want to make meals for an entire week or empty your pantry.

If you reside in the south, check out Texas Smartscapes. I haven’t looked at it in awhile but they had a lot of southern nurseries working together to provide good research on native and low maintenance plants of all types. Would provide resources for your climate zone if you’re not in the US.

Is this strictly an edible gardening matrix? Right off the bat I noticed some commercial landscaping plants not included (even Amelanchier arborea not on there). I’m a landscape designer and for those looking at adding color and structure into their gardening repertoire, I’d be interested in adding some categories for say regional nursery accessibility or brands for types of plants. Example Midwest you have proven winners(everyone can access), christiansens, cottage gardens, Monrovia (everyone can access), Weekes, David Austin (everyone can access), etc.

Could increase usability but also might make it too complex. Food for thought.

Also lyre leaf sage is a great spreader in woodland edge type environments. Native to the south. Does fantastic in part shade. Spreads like wildflower. Can be walked on. Blooms a nice blue color. Weed whip it when it’s finished blooming in the spring.

Thyme. Get a couple 4” pots and in a year you will have %300 growth. I have a creeping thyme , lemon thyme, and a mystery larger leafed thyme growing in large pots and though some of my beds in Michigan. Does really well in full sun. Doesn’t mind part shade. Animals don’t touch it because of the heavy scent. I’ve used it between flagstones in paths (Landscape Designer) and in Texas have seen it used for light walking traffic.

Over winter pay leaves stay on and get a dark green/reddish hue. They aren’t evergreen but without agitation tend to keep their leaves on. After awhile the stems tend to build up and create a low thicket like structure.

Other options are spreading sedums like Angelina mixed with other ground covers like creeping Jenny, wandering jew, wild violas/violets, frog fruit. My personally favorites in Texas were native sedge grasses (you mow them once a year to spread the seed tips.) Some great Sedge growers/researchers in Oklahoma region.

If you don’t go with an evergreen type plant, people tend to be concerned about tracking mud in over winter and early spring. Try to mix several ground cover plants in (violas and violets are winter growers in the south, sedge grows year long, some ground covers are fast spring growers. Mix and match where you can.)

It’s fine for now. But I very much would prefer a general gaming community for major topics that anybody familiar or not with games can discuss, but also will need more specific communities for discussing:

PCGaming (including what components are a steal or required theses days, games that are only on Pc or to be ported,etc)

SteamDeck (just coming out last year it has daily information that needs to be passed around to users) l

TableTopgames (convention talk, deals, reissues of old games making comebacks, what games for party sizes, best snacks, etc).

And many more communities that aren’t just for me.

All of these communities end up getting lost in a larger group like Gaming. Cross posting is not a symptom of having too many communities. It is a symptom of moderating gone wrong and (for reddits case) karma farming.
