Oh fuck, is PoE supposed to be free? I've spent like $1000 on it in the last 10 years in cosmetics, stash tabs, and character slots.

I was just trying to be helpful. Some people might not know you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the device.

I don't know of any system that does a better job of typing with a controller than the Steam Deck with the touch pads. Granted, I'm not a console gamer so I have no idea what typing on the current gen Xbox or PlayStation is like, but I can't imagine it's better than the Steam Deck.

my options are either to buy my own laptop and work somewhere else when I need to get work done or make a partition/new user on my desktop that's strictly for work

1000% option 1. You need to have a work space that is only for work and nothing else. Get the laptop and set it up in a room far away from any other devices(TV, desktop, etc).

Replying from Lemmy. 👋 Not the norm over here either. I wonder if there is just some weird sync issue happening?

Lemmy communities have public Mod Logs so even if a thread was removed I don't think it's gone forever.

It better be! I spent millions on jpgs of monkeys! /s
