Hey there,

I was wondering why nothing was showing Up for two days. So I reinstalled Blorp and now getting a fetch Error when trying to Login to Piefed.zip.

Downloaded Blorp from F-Droid.

Couldn't find Something reporting this issue already.

Hey there,

yes. You can do that - but not the quick way.
Firstly: Yes, I am aware of what the founder did with his money - and I am not a fan of that. I do have a rest time on my account and want to use it up. It's paid in the end anyway already.

The easiest to do this is going to the Mullvad website and log in with your number.
Go to Linux downloads, and you'll easily find the "WireGuard" option - as you cannot install Mullvad VPN on SteamOS out of the box.

After creating a key and choosing the server you want to use, download the configuration file. Right-click the Wi-Fi / Internet symbol in the taskbar and go to network settings. Add a new connection and upload the configuration file into it.

In your original connection you can choose to automatically connect or not. I decided not to - I just need it for… specific reasons… :D

Disclaimer: Be aware using a VPN or other technique to bypass your region to get cheaper prices for games, Steam will ban once they caught anyone doing that.

Edit: Added VPN to title as there is a community project for the Mullvad Browser.

Hey there,

I got my Machine finally Yesterday. As I am Not as fortunate to get my hands on a Steam Controller so far, I plugged in my Pro 2 from 8bitdo.

Wired in the beginning. Cool enough, works Like a charm.

The only issue: To Connect it to Bluetooth Afterwards, you need something else to actually start the pairing. I Hope that there will be a better solution in future.

Anyways. That Controller works perfectly well and is recognized as Xbox Controller. To Access the menu, If you do Not have a Xbox themed by 8bitdo, you can Press the "Heart" Button.

I'm Happy With that.

"Update (07/07/26): The Reddit user with the inoperable Steam Machine was able to get it working again the next day by leaving the device unplugged and then turning it on again and leaving it, while a Valve employee reached out with advice for anyone facing similar issues to get to the bottom of the issue more rapidly.

Interestingly, the Valve rep mentioned that the lightbar codes are reversed from what they intended, meaning the code that ought to indicate "GPU failure" instead means "memory training failed" - which explains how leaving the machine unplugged (to clear the CMOS) and then starting it again and leaving it alone fixed the issue. The Valve support doc doesn't seem to reflect this at present."

Steam support reacted to a request by a user with the instruction to unplug the Machine, plug it back in later, hold the power button for around 6 seconds to launch the recovery menu.

I am awaiting the machine and should get it tomorrow.
One of the biggest questions, after plugging it in: What is the first game to download and play.

On my side it will either be Final Fantasy 8 Remastered or Chrono Trigger. I know, kind of retro, but hey :D

But I'm interested in your first pick?

Next thing hitting the shelves - lets talk about it

Hey there,

I got a screen protector with anti-spy. the unlock with fingerprint does not work quite well - I even registered it completely new.

I heard that Spigen works well with Pixel / Graphene. Unfortunately there is no privacy for the Pixel 9A. Is there any brand that works good with it besides spigen?

tried search but.. haven't been successful.

Thats a huge difference. I'm optimistic but careful With that feeling.

I'm a Bit worried about another Open world setting. I really hope they will make it appear more alive, as that failed big time in the Last Gen..

My opinion is.. just play it how you like it. If you pay up for that, good. If you homebrew or emulate.. cool beans. Up 2 you. Just let the people enjoy stuff.

So fühlt sich das oft an. Von Spaß abgesehen, überprüft die Dokumentationsfilme zu den Jahren. Es ist sehr informativ.

Hey there,

I recently purchased Tron 2.0 at GOG. Installed and launching it effortlessly with heroic. But the mouse flickers like crazy.

I do find a guide regarding the Steam version and so on. But I cannot find anything to replicate with the heroic launcher.

Does someone of you have experience with mouse issues on older games and knows more than me (probably yes xD)? I'm not thaaaat long a Linux user. Any help would be appreciated :)

hey there,

I'd like to add a Pokémon Mini to my collection. Not all games have been released to PAL - do you know if those Minis are region locked or if it will play J-NTSC Games as well?
