Same. Meta spyware on my face has never piqued my interest but Valve can headcrab the fuck out of me.

Deckard is rumoured to be the standalone VR headset (Steam Deck on your face).

Roy is rumoured to be the VR controllers.

Steam Controller 2 is the second coming of Jesus or something.

Yeah, I find it boring when my browser doesn’t release predatory pay day loans apps to third world countries.

I accepted it was going to take time to get used to it so I slapped on Skyrim (or it might have been Oblivion, I can’t remember which) and sunk 40h or so into the Steam Controller with gyro aim and using both touchpads.

Probably had it down by 5 to 10h but you know how it goes with those classic Bethesda games…

What’s crazy is my aim is absurdly better with the Steam Controller vs normal gamepad. Not quite at mouse level but way closer to mouse than gamepad.

Also playing point and click adventure games on the Steam Controller is a total dream. Best way to replay classics on the sofa.

Palworld is awesome fun but let’s be honest, there’s plenty of jank, inconsistencies, and bland mechanical design throughout the game. Doesn’t stop it from being fun (and my partner and I putting hundreds of hours into the game) but is it award worthy? Probably not.

TIL “lent” is a slur

I envy you deeply. My biggest regret is not stocking up when they were really cheap. I just didn’t think Valve would stop making them. At least they never stopped supporting it!

The fact you can block an instance where communities reside that you have issues with is incredible!

It’s like if Reddit gave you a feature to block a subreddit and all the users that subscribed to it in one single action.

Edit: OP should try creating an account on different instances? For instance on the instance hosting the community that just posted this to..?

I have several accounts and sh.itjust.works has been doing a stellar job with managing the toxicity from leaking into this instance.

My total guess is weighing scales used to be expensive / inaccessible for the common home baker and one of the first popular recipe books thus used volume, became wildly popular, and indirectly taught a generation of home bakers that baking recipes are by volume, not weight.

Have you checked bookshop.org? You can still buy online and have the order fulfilled by your nearest independent book store.

And leans towards eating lots of glitter. At least in my experience.

Honestly, it’s very likely just Salesforce since that cantankerous, janky beast is so easy to use poorly.
