How is it a non catch?The ball never touched the ground. The center fielder caught the ball for out 2.

the third out was the force play at home

I have no idea why the catcher throwing to third had anything to do with anything

Two things -

1. Once the ball hit the wall, it can't be a catch.

2. If it was a catch, there wouldn't be a force out at home. It would have to be a tag play.

They got the runner at home on the force out and then apparently also got the runner out at 3rd on the force out.

Hard disagree. Multiplayer had a steep learning curve, but it was amazing. The campaign was also great, though, to be fair.

I love my Steam Deck, but use it almost exclusively with Sunshine/Moonlight to stream games to it from my PC.

Vintage Story

I rarely try new games anymore and mostly just rotate through some old favorites, but this one has hit the spot and will definitely be staying in the rotation for a long time. Perfect mix of hardcore survival with cozier aspects like building a base, setting up a farm, forging tools, etc.

I'm interested in this. How does that compare to big picture mode?

It allows me to use it just like I use my computer and for some reason I have a lot less latency with Moonlight. Big Picture mode is much more limited.

1667 rapid on chess.com

Stick to one opening for white. I highly recommend John Bartholomew's chess fundamentals playlist on YouTube. Aside from that, your worst issues should probably be hanging pieces and missing tactics. Bartholomew's series goes into depth about how to ensure you don't hang pieces. I recommend doing a lot of puzzles on chess.com to improve tactics and pattern recognition. Lastly, stick to rapid and always make sure you analyze your games. I'm guilty of switching to blitz and bullet a lot because it's fun, but it doesn't improve my game much.

The link from OP reminded me of our NCAA online dynasties. I looked into what it would take for me to play NCAA Football again and ended up getting College Football Revamped working on my PC and streaming it to my Steam Deck. Those online dynasties made some of my best gaming memories so thanks for the memories to anyone I used to play with. :cheers:

I absolutely love my Steam Deck, although since I discovered Moonlight/Sunshine, I've mostly been using my PC to stream games to the Deck.

Ok, but what kind of audience was left to review it after the abomination that was Season 1. Anyone that had any sense gave up on it already.

Most games that's aren't verified on Steam deck can still be played on it and work quite well. Notable exceptions are a good number of online-only multiplayer games. I believe the issue comes down to the developers needing to create a specific patch for Steam OS for their anti-cheat software. It's a really great system.

One of my all-time favorite games! Below Zero is pretty good as well, but I definitely prefer the original. If you haven't played it, Valheim scratched a similar itch for me.
