While the Steam Deck has become my primary gaming device, the dock not working has become my least favorite game to play. Fortunately, it’s only one of a small handful of issues I run into regularly with the Steam Deck. The official Steam Deck Docking Station not working is exceptionally frustrating because you usually run…

Since procuring a Steam Deck, it has continually been my go-to gaming device. While I do the majority of my gaming in handheld mode, I have been dabbling more into playing on the TV. My current rig for big screen play includes a docking station, an Xbox One controller, and…

As a matter of form, this blog is a collection of my actual writing. The blog started as a way to improve my writing capabilities by actually taking the time to, you know, write. While I may talk about artificial intelligence or show some AI examples associated with my own…

As part of my recent spring cleaning of my Nintendo 3DS XL, I’ve been updating the custom firmware (CFW) as well as a bunch of the homebrew / after market software that I had installed. One such piece of software was GodMode9, and this was actually the first time I…

Recently, while cleaning up the SD card I use on my Steam Deck, I decided that the name “UNTITLED” wasn’t good enough, and that I would rename it to something more descriptive. What I didn’t anticipate is that all of my EmuDeck / Emulation Station games would cease to function….
