Recently I got the notification that my Steam Deck was ready and has shipped and for the past three days or so I have been testing it out and using it so I though I would write a post about my first impressions and maybe writing another post later going into more detail once I feel I have used it long enough for my opinions to form completely and for any problems to come out if there are any. So let me begin. The first thing I want to talk about is the look and feel of the device, probably the most important thing to nail for a hand held device. And to my surprises for the form factor it feels great!

The command flag allows you to pass a command or potentially even an entire script into the Powershell process that will be started. Interestingly this means an entire script can run in memory without being stored on disk at all, the most insane version of anti-malware avoidance. N...

 Hey everyone!  I decided maybe I should remake my brand as I have not really did anything with it in a very long time so you all may be seeing the new logo, new backgrounds, and the revamped discord. Along with that I have been adding custom redirect URLS for all my social platforms into my domain iwick.dev Also I have decided maybe I should make a main page or more accurately a blog where I can post more updates about me and what I am working on so using Blogger I have created this page. I will post stuff I find interesting and updates on myself. Here is a dump of all the new links you have probably already seen me posting everywhere lmao GitHub https://github.iwick.dev Discord https://discord.iwick.dev YouTube https://youtube.iwick.dev Steam https://steam.iwick.dev and now Blog https://blog.iwick.dev Thanks everyone, see you all in the next update.
