This is what fixed it, thank you. It must be that although the game is in English, it’s using the English characters from a Japanese font and character pack. Now I know what the issue is, playing these games on the Deck is more possible

That’s a good point. I’ve had Lutris installed but never really explored it. I’ll check that out too

Thanks. I’ll look into this as well. The game is in English but coming from a Japanese developer could cause the same problems

Thanks. I’ll look into it and see if that works

There’s a setting in the BIOS to switch these over. You may be able to jump in and do it yourself if the work laptop isn’t too locked down

All the different versions as well. Outlook web is decent, desktop is terrible. The Mac version seems to be closer to web, some problems I have are fine in one version of outlook and only appear in another. Why can’t the app just be a container for the web version?

OK, who did you guys bully over basic tech support questions?

I work in email Marketing and Outlook is the worst client, especially desktop. Everything I make has to have accommodations for this shitty inbox

I had the same experience. Real OGs hated steam and slowly came to accept it as the default distribution platform. It’s good now, but my account was created on December 25, 2004 and I remember how it was

I feel like Linux would be easier to pick up and use for a non power user starting from scratch like my mother-in-law. It’s so much easier to download programs with the package manager and settings are so much easier to navigate

It’s such an old laptop to feature in an article. I even opened the image URL to see if it’s one How to Geek just had on file they used. The photo was uploaded last year

Thanks everyone. I tried ventoy but it didn’t work straight away. I do like the idea of having a list of isos to pick from, but it might take more tweaking to get right.

I went with the boot loading tool in Fedora since I just wanted to flash mint to do a reinstall on my kids’ laptop

That’s what I ended up going with on Fedora

Thanks, I’ll check these out

You need the cuck chair so you have somewhere to sit when your landlord comes over

Sorry, I’ll have to learn the difference. I just saw FOSS F-droid and went from there

I meant Forspoken and Redfall were examples of bad games we got last year. The spectrum of fully mid to fully awful.

Drinkable for making cocktails.

Vector Pinball for a light, fun pinball game.

Baby Dots to entertain my kids without harvesting their data or driving them insane.

KOReader for ebooks. It takes some setting up and getting used to but I’m happy with it now

Forspoken came out at the start of last year and we also got Redfall. 2023 was a stacked year for games.

Maybe the more bad games that come out mean we’re also getting good ones to balance things.
