        So uhm… at what age does it stop being so easy to turn on? I’m actually looking forward to that cause right now shits embarrassing.

          Well, there’s a period when you’re younger when it’s almost involuntary. Later, it’s just super easy all the time. Over time, it slowly becomes less easy, over the next few decades, sooner for some, later for others.

          Many things can affect this. Blood pressure has a lot to do with. Also stress and other psychological and physiological factors. Talk to a urologist if you have concerns.

          Depends, I’m only 33, but my meds make it really fucking hard to be hard.

          i suspect a lot of these people are actually just experiencing the reason why we’re constantly told to stay active and eat healthily…

    “Ah, an appreciation post for the local transfer feature,” I thought, as I continued reading to the last part of the sentence.

          I think it’s because Steam compresses the data before sending it and limits CPU usage. I still use local file transfer between desktop and Steam Deck because rarely in much of a rush.

          Same, I’m still too cheap to upgrade the LAN to 10 Gbit/s. I could theoretically get old stuff from work, but that’s all 19 inch rack mountable and loud…

        Lan are usually 1 gigabit. He must have a serious connection. It’s more likely he has a slow hard drive on the host or stores the data on USB2.0 connected drive.

          Same for me, LAN is 1Gb, my internet connection is 5Gb.

          Of course none of the devices get more than 1Gb, but that means than LAN or Internet doesn’t make a difference. Especially for Steam games that get downloaded from a very close CDN proxy (probably hosted by my own provider).

      Being someone with a bad internet, this is actually quite a useful feature. It saves me from either having to set up an smb/ftp share on a computer or backing up a game to a USB drive to restore it on the other computer if I don’t want to wait 10 hours for any modern game to download.

    I see the joke, but just wanted to say that this feature was way more of a hassle than anything. I guess for the intended purpose of saving bandwidth it’s nice, but it was difficult to get it to even work (steam kept wanting to download from their own servers instead of the host computer) and when it finally did, it was painfully slow, just transferring the program data manually over the network was going faster.

      Obviously not dismissing your experience, just adding my own : I tried it recently on a big game that was installed on my SO desktop, and it worked great. Just had to activate the feature on both Steam instances, restart Steam, and then I enjoyed a superfast “download” speed, that was mainly bottlenecked by my drive speed and even sometimes by my computer’s ethernet port limit!

        I wonder if I have something set up in steam that is bottlenecking, then. I use my home network to transfer files pretty frequently so I know that’s not my issue. Oh well, I don’t have limited bandwidth and my Internet is pretty decent so I don’t really need it anyways. Glad it works for others though!
