Listen to The Santiago Boys on Spotify. Cybersyn was a project created by the Chilean President Salvador Allende. His idea was to build a large digital network serving the socialist government. It was a sort of internet before the internet, that would have made centralization possible, allowing to process an enormous amount of data from all over Chile. However, the project was abruptly interrupted due to the 1973 coup, that brought General Pinochet to power. What would have happened if Allende had completed his project? This podcast delves into the research of the engineers (the Santiago Boys) who helped the Chilean president and, in particular, into the figure of a prominent British technology guru, Stafford Beer. The serie is written and presented by Evgeny Morozov, a leading new media and technology researcher.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister has incredible Steam Deck support btw and is currently on a 60% sale. I bought it as I have some flights coming up and wanted to get more familiar with D&D5e before BG3 comes out.
Obviously buying it right now is a bit like "we have Baldur's Gate 3 at home..." but I was pleasantly surprised by how great the Steam Deck support is. It's like they must've tested it on the Steam Deck specifically.
There's a few minor issues with small text, but aside from that it's great.
It's awesome to see games get official controller support for the Steam Deck. Hopefully Baldur's Gate 3 will have as great support as well.
I'll be travelling soon and was wondering what are good games for low power-usage and offline?
Previously I enjoyed:
At the moment I'm planning to set up:
Maybe the Ace Attorney and Professor Layton series too which I haven't played. Also GTA1, London and 2 if they work. I love Advance Wars too but I've played it too many times already.
Basically anything that is easy to run, low power, and easy to play with just the controls and small screen in a cramped space. Ideally nothing too difficult / stressful like Hollow Knight that could be hard to play without good screen brightness or cramped.
I like a lot of older PC games but unfortunately they're difficult to play without a mouse and on the small screen - e.g. Ultima VII and Arx Fatalis.

Ideally like RES used to be - you have to click on an icon to load and show the image.
Unfortunately this image auto-loading has been frequently used for abuse already. But it is also quite annoying when amongst a lot of text comments and lends itself to low-effort memes.
