I agree, it's great on the Steam Deck. I played for a bit on my laptop and it was fine there but it was a much better experience on the Deck.

Came here to say SteamOS as well. I am surprised more people aren't saying it. But the thing is, the Steam Deck works so well I have to wonder how many people don't know/care the OS it runs, or maybe they have forgotten it's running Linux, or maybe they know but don't consider themselves "Linux Gamers" just because they are using it.

Sort of like how people playing on a Switch or PS3/4/Vita are technically FreeBSD gamers deep down.

I've been looking into Logseq and Joplin over the last week or so, trying to figure out how I want to migrate away from Evernote since they are massively increasing their prices.

What I like about Logseq and Joplin both is that at their core it's just Markdown files and you can sync them around in a number of different ways however you feel like, including self-hosting, various cloud providers, or locally and securely via syncthing (which is what I chose). With syncthing the content of the notes is never exposed during transit and it's never stored anywhere I don't control.

At the moment I've moved almost entirely over to Joplin since it's pretty close to Evernote, but I do plan on trying to use Logseq and see how I like its journaling/block tagging type approach.

I went around and unlocked all the towers and found all the stables before I did 3/4 of the regional quests and ended up with it pretty early on. I haven't needed it that many times, but it's been invaluable the few times I needed it.

I like them both for different reasons and in different ways. In BOTW I liked the champions better, felt more of a connection to them. Also Revali's Gale was the best. In TOTK, I am really loving the device building and fusing in general. I miss some of the weapons from BOTW but it's great being able to fuse different objects for different effects.

You can cheese both in various ways if you want (Revali's Gale, or a Hover Bike, can get you pretty much anywhere).

TOTK seems to have a lot more stuff around everywhere, on the ground, in the depths, and the sky. It's even more fun to explore than it was in BOTW in some cases. Also Tears of the Kingdom / Tiers of the Kingdom is a great pun/double meaning.

Also the froggy suit finally lets you climb wet surfaces (and ice) without slipping.

I don't like the grinding materials to upgrade armor in either one, though. So TOTK wins because I'm a cheating cheater who refuses to update the game so I can keep duping materials as I don't have months to spend hunting down and killing monsters.

If you like that, check out Recursive Sans & Mono

I wouldn't pick it over Fira Code but it has a bit of whimsy to it that reminds me of Comic Mono.

It looks alright. I might give it a try. I tested out a bunch of different mono fonts recently and landed on Fira Code. I'm still getting used to ligatures but so far I'm liking it more than I expected.

Nothing at the moment on the Steam Deck, still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom on Switch.

Before TOTK I was going back and forth between the recent Sackboy: A Big Adventure port and Pedestrian. Before that I played through the Spider-Man and Miles Morales ports as well.

Not to mention all the various emulation I've setup and been experimenting with, I can't even remember all the games I was testing out there, dozens of them!
