I've been thinking about going to the botanical garden since today (and tomorrow) are supposed to be the only days in the next two weeks with bearable temperatures, but with the current state of the train system I would have been to late for the only guided tour today that isn't cancelled due to illness.
Quoting: Pengling
My pick this weekend is Kill It With Fire (Proton), a humourous first-person extermination game where you're tasked with killing spiders* using increasingly-outlandish means - including fire, as per the title.

*No, not that one. It'd be rude to eliminate our host!

Now let's break a record.

Not that I know of.

It does, and the bouncy little animations are cute, too. It's always fun trying to find the various hidden things in this one. I'd never tried a hidden-object video game before this title (though of course, like anyone, I loved the Where's Wally? books growing up ) - I'm glad that I picked it up, it's been a good introduction to the genre.

Everyone needs to play Hidden Folks.

The Find All series is good, too. And then there are all the cat themed games: Hidden Cats in X, A X Full of Cats, Cats and Seek, Cats Hidden in X and Ever Seen a Cat?. Also Cats in Time for a 3d take on the genre that adds small puzzles.

The Cats Hidden in X and Ever Seen a Cat? are smaller games. A X Full of Cats has a hiding mechanics and is generally bigger.

Hidden Cats in X has a main level with two modes – normal and advanced. Advanced adds special cats and people. The special cats unlock bonus levels that feature a different location related to the main theme. The people, like in Find All, cannot be logged in in a random order – only four of them are active at once. Then there is a big bonus levels that has a huge number of people to find.

What happened this later afternoon? I've made the mistake of switching my SteamDeck to the beta channel. After the reboot, there was a Steam client update. I foolishly installed that, rebooted Steam and was presented with an infinite loading user data screen.

A web search found a few older discussions of the issue and most of them recommended disabling WLAN or switching into desktop mode. Disabling WLAN didn't help. In desktop mode I the Steam client could not display any windows. Library -> spinning wheel. Settings -> error message. I tried messing with command line options (i.e. -clearbeta -forceupdate -clientbeta steamdeck_publicbeta or steamdeck_stable) without any results. Then I renamed ~/.local/share/Steam which fixed the client, but now my data is inaccessible.

And I found out that they changed the default folder for the library on the SD card. That was a quick fix.

Now I have to figure out which files I can move from the old Steam folder to the new one to bring as much of my data back as possible without re-introducing the problem. Oh what fun…

You may ask: Why did I change the channel? Quick answer: I wanted to see if that brings a newer glibc.

I've moved userdata, steamapps and the custom input glyphs in the last subfolder of tenfoot.

There are 70 MB of log files.
