Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027.

please make it stop

wow that's bad, Apple also increased prices a lot today https://www.macrumors.com/2026/06/25/apple-just-increased-prices/

I guess it's due to Micron's new lock-in https://www.theregister.com/systems/2026/06/25/micron-locks-in-historically-high-memory-prices-for-five-years/5261854

I had a VHS tape that showed a trailer of Mario 64 lol it was amazing. I don't even remember how I got it.

What are your hardware specs?

Maybe they can be imported to the Fediverse

I roll my eyes when I see people saying they'll leave Windows when they can run SteamOS, considering there are other distros that are just as good or better. But the brand name recognition will definitely bring some people.

I wonder if as China starts making more chips maybe they'll make a cheap computer/laptop that can grab more of the market. Maybe something ARM or RISC-V and Linux.

Canonical (Kubuntu) and Red Hat (Fedora, I suggest the KDE variant) are very big and old companies if that's what you want.

Debian is too slow with updates for gaming. Idk why not having an upstream is desired, SteamOS has Arch as an upstream. And I was suggesting Red Hat the company and Fedora KDE the distro.

Why is it weird to prefer Kubuntu? Ubuntu is just not as good, it pushes Snaps harder, and it uses GNOME which I don't like either. I just like Kubuntu a lot more than Ubuntu, and I think many other gamers would agree. Also SteamOS uses KDE Plasma, so it's the same (except Kubuntu is more up to date, especially with Backports)

I think Kubuntu should be the more popular one, and Ubuntu should be the one that is weird to say.

You could probably route the logs to /dev/null but IDK if the IPs also get stored in the DB

Can't you just create a community on an existing Lemmy/PieFed instance? Sounds safer and easier

Oh they were looking for long term companies like Valve. So I suggested 2 companies.

Steam being an actual company behind a distro gives at least an impression of support stability because they have a economical incentive to kind of keep it going.

SteamOS is not a long term distro yet (especially considering v1 is not the same distro even though it has the same name)

I would like the momentum to shift away from Ubuntu and towards Kubuntu as its replacement, because Kubuntu really is better

SteamOS is already not the best gaming distro. Besides I never said it would be bad, I just said it's silly to be sticking with Windows 11 because you're waiting for SteamOS, and people have been saying this for years still waiting and waiting. It's less silly now that we might actually be closer to the release date.

Ok I don't watch this anime, but this translation is really interesting lol. Do Japanese people also use the -ception suffix? Or did they have something similar before the movie Inception came out?

I would suggest Zero Rando over Shifter. Or if you want stuff like balance changes and automatic augs, use Zero Rando Plus (in the Game Mode selection)

The Rando->Gameplay menu will let you mix and match different balance changes too. But Zero Rando has them all disabled by default.

Lay D Denton is a mod that allows you to play as a female version of JC Denton, with full voice acting. It's very good, and fully integrated into the Randomizer.

The Randomizer has many QoL features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. And you can play with randomization disabled (Zero Rando) to turn it into an overhaul mod.

Actually it does come up when I stretch for Dune, Lemmy searches community description texts too

But I see now the ID is ![email protected] it's just the name that is funky

I'm impressed that Dune community is able to grow so much despite the difficult spelling with the Unicode characters lol

Lol I thought they were supposed to delete the ID images once confirmed
