It’s got a learning curve to it, but the sheer amount of stuff you can do in Blender is actually kind of mind-blowing.

This is how I feel about lab grown meat. I’m sure it’s probably fine, but I don’t want to be one of the first to try it out. I’ll give it a couple of years and see how the first adopters get on lol.
Also if there’s any chance of a Fly situation happening I’m not going. Even if it’s like a .00000001% chance then fuck that lol
You also get the “I must make the simplest transaction absurdly difficult for no apparent reason” shopper:
Hi Alice, I want one of your pies, I’m situated at <location 40km from where you are> and I have $2.98 in cash. Would it be possible for you to meet me 26.7km away from my house where I’ll give you the $2.98 in cash, and then the remaining balance in a series of travelers cheques, one of which is from a country which no longer exists but I assure you it can still be converted to legal tender if you’re willing to make a quick stop at the Belarusian Embassy? Also what kind of apples are in the pie? If the amount of baking apples relative to other apples is above 68.7% I can’t eat it or I’ll die, but anything below that amount is fine.
Honestly, the Steam Deck is my favourite bit of tech that I’ve bought in a long time. For one thing, my SO has a Switch, so now we can both game on the couch together instead of sitting across the room. But also, between Steam, being able to run Epic and GOG through Heroic Launcher, and being able to emulate all the consoles I grew up with, it’s like having my entire gaming history all in one portable device. Plus it’s amazing for travel.
Also being familiar with Linux, in Desktop Mode it’s just a regular Linux PC, so with a bluetooth mouse & keyboard and a dock/monitor (and maybe a bigger hard drive) I genuinely think I could probably get away with just using it as my daily driver PC if I really had to.
Yeah Occam’s Razor and all that, he’s probably just a fucking idiot.
And don’t skip over reading things! I also run Arch with KDE and honestly with almost all problems I have, if I carefully read through either the Arch Wiki (this will probably be your most valuable tool) or the error message that comes up, the answer is usually in there somewhere, it just needs digging up.
Also: if something with a GUI crashes and doesn’t give an error message, try running it in the terminal. So like, if Firefox crashes and doesn’t give any info, try opening up a terminal and running firefox
from there and the terminal will tell you everything that’s going on. (It’ll be a different command if you’re using a flatpak but that’s the general idea.)
Note to self: check on DJKJuicy in a couple of years before trying this
