That girl who plays Steam Deck and writes about gaming + Linux a lot

  • Thank you! Its *ma'am!

    But I think its sad too, that something has made us all doubt everything we read, and judge it all so harshly. What a strange world now :(

  • Oh that's so kind of you to say!

    One thing I had to change with my writing was dropping my en and em dash use. I loved them, but seeing how Chat has adopted them and throws them out like confetti has made me change my ways :(

    I'm really glad you enjoyed the content, Kazeta feels so unique and fun to me, it really desveres some attention!

  • If you join his Discord, you'll see he's working out other physical 'devices' which will work on the same principle!

    Early days so far, but its exciting to see all kinds of ideas being suggested in there :)

  • Let me know how you find it when you do! Would love to see them :)

  • Thanks!

    I've written...well a bunch of different 'styles' of things over the last two or so years. I've had plenty of rambling rants on general gaming news (which gets shared exclusively here on Lemmy), and I've done just straight interviews (Heroic, Lutris, RetroDECK and so on), I figured it was time to at least try something different. I like the idea of a kind of feature article, and Alkazar was so kind to chat to me for awhile on Kazeta. It felt right.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if it kinda took you aback to begin with :)
    Thanks for the comment!

  • Oh yikes, well that's a hard thing to read when I wrote it! I'll try make sure in future to diversify what the heck I'm trying to get across. Thanks for letting me know, even if it is a tough thing to read!

    A little edit:

    Alkazar is very happy with the article, as is Gardiner (whose site this is posted on). I've been writing for a long time now, you can check my post history here if you'd like to check through those which I've written exclusively for Lemmy. Or you can filter my posts on Gardiner's site to see the others I've written. I've had a couple things posted on Gaming on Linux, and also on SDHQ.

    As much as I try to not let it get under my skin, the dismissive 'it's just A.I.' comment does get under my skin. It's awful to read when a ton of work goes into these, and when friendships are formed because of what I write. I get that its not for you, and maybe my pacing of the article wasn't for you either. Can't pretend that it doesn't hurt to read that.

    I'm not a professional, this isn't my business or my life. Its a hobby.

  • That's very kind of you!

    I haven't been sharing so much of these articles or interviews I've been doing here lately, mostly I think because it makes me look like I'm inundating the place.

    But that's so kind of you to say, glad you enjoyed it!

  • It made me so happy to see a post from you again as I’ve missed seeing you around.

    Thanks, Coelacanth! It's nice to be back here :)

  • What an odd take to have.

    I'm a little confused why you'd form a strong opinion on something you willfully refused to read. In fact, even my title for the article kinda gives it away. Or the screenshot.

    Just...odd.

  • Damn. That's what I get for staying up all night, isn't it.

    Fixed, and thank you so much!

  • I've been addicted to Bioshock for so many years now. I do a yearly-ish replay of them (Infinite is my fav, which some consider sacrilege) and always hoped for more. They're perfect Steam Deck games.

    For now, I think the upcoming Judas will be a more dependable game to look forward to:

    A disintegrating starship. A desperate escape plan.

    You are the mysterious and troubled Judas. Your only hope for survival is to make or break alliances with your worst enemies. Will you work together to fix what you broke – or will you leave it to burn?

    Judas is a narrative FPS developed by Ghost Story Games, a studio led by Ken Levine, Creative Director of System Shock 2, BioShock, and BioShock Infinite.

  • That's really kind of you! Don't expect to be inundated, it'll be a weekly thing for whoever is in the fediverse scene, loves gaming, tech and so on, and wishes to contribute articles. I think it's fun, so I'm glad you gave it a nod of approval!

    Thanks :)

  • ...are you lost?

  • I know its silly of me to care about down votes. This is the internet after all, and having thin skin on the internet is just crazy.

    But the idea that you're downvoting me for sharing news just strikes me as...insane. Do you not want me to share news on Lemmy? Do you think I'm the developer? If so did you not read this intro to the piece at all?

    Again. Just stupid to care about being down voted, but if you're one of those who have been, I'd love you to just speak up and explain why?

  • Thanks so much for both reading what I write, and for check in!

    I'm okay, for the most part. The good news is that my kidneys have gotten the all-clear and are totally fine. The not-so-good news is that I do have nerve damage. Oh my right hip, and on my left thigh. That means I won't know for another 10 months if I am able to reverse or slow the damage at all.

    A hard pill to swallow (so to speak), and pretty devastating all up. But, I was expecting worse!!!

    But I'm in a better place, I've cut back on work a ton (lucky to be in the financial position to do so), and am focusing on lots of physical activity. I'm also spending time bringing the cabin I bought to life - which has been really nice. Escaping Paris helped I think.

    And, catching up on writing plenty of gaming, too. I've so many to come in the next week or two, not including any dedicated Steam Deck / Gaming News posts. So its really nice to get back to them!

    Thanks for writing, always makes me smile :)
