business is all about who you know and who knows you. there are 50 plumbers in the area, and while most of them will certainly do a good job, i know josh the plumber, they were nice to me that one time, so i’m going to contract his company to do our plumbing work. it’s not more complicated than that.

I’ve had a good time putting native Windows apps/games that aren’t Steam-based or even technically compatible with the Deck and getting them running surprisingly well (with the help of mods/addons)
