  • pillars of eternity, great game so far, did not play a realtime-with-pause rpg since kotor, but thanks to the auto-pause settings this plays really well. And while i can’t claim to understand whats going on right now, the world seems to be really fleshed out and combats so far where very fun.

    brotato, fun take on the vampires survivor formular.

    backpack battles, an autobattler, but players don’t draft from a shared pool, so you’ll mostly draft the same builds everytime and don’t care much about the builds you are dacing. not somerhing i’ll continue playing, but it was ok to waste a bit of time, would probably be cool on mobile.

    doom2, but i am allways playing doom, so i guess that does not count.


  • It was written as part of my work.

    check your contract, you might not own the code and your organization may have a process to determine how to license something.

    to your other questions (IANAL)

    1. prior work wont be licensed, meaning no one but the owner of the work is allowed to do anything with versions prior to the license
    2. you don’t have to, but i can’t see a reason why you should not.
    3. GPL might mean that other work depending on gpl licensed code has to be licensed in a gpl compatible way, depending on how exactly you depend on it and how you distribute your dependencies. MIT/BSD is easier here, if you don’t plan to license everything with the GPL anyway.



  • And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

    depends on what you backup and how.

    if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

    complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

    i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.










  • apex legends works. the finals does not, because of their anti-cheat solution.

    for multi-player fps games remember that you’ll play against pc players, they’ll have keyboard and mouse and you won’t have assistance features you might be used to from console fps. Experiment with gyro controls, the touchpads and/or “flick stick” you’ll might find a way to get similar speed and accuracy as a mouse user, but i’d guess you are in for an uphill battle.

    have a look at the control schemes provided by the community for games, if you don’t like the default controls.

    my competitive fps days are in the past, but i can recommend some single player fps i enjoyed on the deck:

    • Doom (2016)
    • Black Mesa, the half-life 1 remake.
    • Amid Evil
    • Boltgun
    • Borderlands 2

    e: www.protondb.com to check how various games work on the deck. some games are not “verified” by valve because they only show xbox button prompts, or some “unplayable” games run perfectly fine with a specific launch options
