If you are bringing an air mattress, you're probably car camping and may be able to leave the food / cooler in the trunk.

Once in Missouri I went camping with my parents and they love to cook at camp Tons of chopping boards, utensils, etc were left out overnight, which attracted dozens of raccoons. They had the coolers secure but it was still wild to see. Rookie mistake from people who actually have a lot of experience.

Also, hammock camping can be very comfortable if you have an under quilt and tarp

Putting stuff away is the worst part, especially if you have to air out wet tarps

I love camping, and have had some great trips in the rain. Can be very comfy even with a backpack setup if you know what you're doing.

That being said, this is hilarious.

And at least you have enough unsolicited advice to make it more comfortable if you want to go again 😅

I brought an excel sheet with color coded cells and tons of notes to my GP when we were trying different meds. Seemed like overkill but I know from experience if I was having a bad day I'd feel like the meds never worked, and if I was having a good day I'd feel like they always worked every time, no side effects.

I also started carrying around a notebook I use for everything, and one of those things is keeping a page for a running list if I think of something I want to talk to my doctor about (I have this type of list for all kinds of stuff, and just carry the notebook everywhere)

The track pads are phenomenal for any game that doesn't have great built in controller support. I use them for mouse input on games like FTL, and they are much more accurate for aiming in FPS games than emulating a mouse on a stick. I also use them as radial menus for expanded controls on games like Elite Dangerous that really need more buttons than a controller has.

I agree with your point in general, and SteamOS was the main thing that pushed me towards steam deck over other handhelds with better specs. Now that I've used it though, it would be hard to give up the trackpads if the other options dont have the same quality. My hope is that 3rd party devices will basically mirror the steam controller setup, since the SteamOS controller mapping and provided layouts are a huge part of why so many games work on the platform even without official controller support. It's not just the hardware or the software but how well they work together.

Morrowind is the best. Oblivion remaster is better than skyrim (in my Morrowboomer opinion) and that was just refreshing a 20 year old game. I feel like there is a lot of hype for TES6 that it may not live up to, but surpassing skyrim is definitely doable.

I have a Lenovo 2 in 1 tablet laptop and it works OK. I am running Debian with KDE Plasma and it has been a little flaky with the automatic screen rotation and sometimes i have to toggle it on and off to get it to kick in but that's it. Not sure if that's something that would be fixed on different distros or DEs.

I didn't have to do any extra 3rd party driver setup or anything like that.

The touch screen itself works great. I have used tablet mode mostly for reading RPG source books that I only have PDFs of. Works great for that.

What about the people on the group chat who were disrespecting other people's right to privacy by sharing private mesaages and pictures? It's cool when they do it?

I prefer the F-701 personally but yeah, any Zebra pen over the ones in the op

My first thought was FTL as well. Great game

This looks awesome!

That's how I got to senior tech lead on my team (software engineer)
