Displayport needs to start showing up on TVs and eventually get standards for stuff like eARC and HDMI CEC

It's been moving fast. It barely moved like a decade ago

The worst rent seekers come for everything

It's like that era of putting pink ribbons on everything for breast cancer that also signaled you were a supporter of women. Commercialized activism. Be real. This will sell very little. We'll get some news articles about how it's trending with Gen z that are rejecting technology and always online culture. It'll actually only be a small amount of Gen z but you know blogspam going to blogspam.

It's a crappy product. We need a Linux phone that would actually be a halo product for people to not feel like they're ripping themselves off to get away from Google and Apple

The series told its story. It doesn't need another game

A Modest Proposal if you are talking Swift

After 16 years of sales, my library is filled to the brim with almost everything that goes 75%+ off that I would want. It's like 3 games a year now that I don't already have finally hitting the impulse buy range for me. Outside of that, fanatical and humble bundles round out my let's buy a game id never otherwise buy and try

That's pretty much all the feedback indie devs that barely get any wishlists on their steam pre-release pages get on the gamedev subreddit.

A lot of, "I have no idea what the game is supposed to be from the trailer. Is their a narrative? Can't tell from the trailer. Not much going on in the screenshots. That name isn't very google-able. You barely have a description and there's no media in the description either to flash it up. Do you not have any tiktok/Instagram/YouTube presence? YouTubers/Steam curators/Twitch? Did you submit for the Steam Indie Game/Next Fest? Have you submitted to any indie publishers and received feedback? You may be better off with a publisher if you're not willing to do social media and help with trailers and screenshot selection and writing your Steam page."

EA to my knowledge just has shitty business practices. Ubisoft at a minimum had a culture of sexual harrassers, possibly assaulters. Blizzard certainly had rapists. Ubisoft also with the pioneering always online DRM for single player games getting back to the games portion of their evils

Well that was fast. Going to be great to try it out when I get one

When Motorola puts out a Graphene phone, I'll buy one. It'll be important to break the effective Google play and iOS app store monopolies

When I went AM5 when that was new everyone was like DDR5 is overpriced. Stick with AM4 and buy a better GPU. 2029 AM5 at least now. I'll be on AM5 until at least 2035. Really I want to take it to 2040

It's a better value than the console makers pro controllers. Looking to use the touchpads on an HTPC

Please show us proof of code in the Linux kernel and in FreeBSD kernel that would suggest Linux is more susceptible to exploits. How about explaining SELinux to us and the equivalent in FreeBSD and how they compare. If you can't, why make assertions of things you should have the self awareness to know you don't know and understand?

Should go back to the days of having good self hosted servers and a server browser. Can still have matchmaking and even peer to peer multiplayer, but we should be able to self host servers and build communities for games we play

It's a moving target. Everything I care about video game stores now I did not care when it was new. Steam itself in 2003, need it to update to latest counter strike. By 2014 years later, I'm done managing updates for individual games by looking on websites online for downlads. I want a store client like Steam to handle that. Didn't care for the first half of Steams life. I was still buying physical PC games when I could up to 2014. That's why I said 2014

Didn't care about linux Steam because it sucked until Proton. Since Proton I care. Didn't care about big picture mode because steam machines bombed the first time and I didn't use remote play. Now I use remote play and regularly use big picture mode because I buy big phones with OLEDs and remote play is great now because of that. Phones are why I care about 21:9 support as much as I do now.

Didn't care about Steam Input because I was kb/m all day type of person. I play with gamepads more now. Steam Input is major. Indie games were less common in 2008 and a lot less complex than they are today. Easy to get the good ones because everyone talked about them. Now most good indie games have no reviews on open/metacritic. Steam reviews and curators point me to the majority of my purchased indie games. Also even the studio/publisher pages that Steam has now showing what they have released. That's the other way I find games. Steam has brand pages for a while now. I actually use those like here for koei tecmo

Or smaller game XD. Played Icey and ended up trying a couple games under them through the publisher Steam page

Library organization. Did not care about the collections feature until this year. Same with the user submitted store page tags. The collections feature can create from those tags and I make custom collections too to organize my big library. I just recently learned you can drag and drop rather than right click add to collection.

Sounds simple but it sucks on pretty much every PC store platform software besides steam. Managing multiple drives. Moving game folders between drives and the store client handling it well

numerous other things that come in handy from time to time. Like user created guides. SteamOS is more featureful than the OS's on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series before even exiting out to the desktop mode. Remember Mixer on Xbox. Steam has broadcasts and has had it for a long time now and it's never been popular but they never killed it and now I occasionally use it to check out how a new game looks. MS would have killed broadcasts like they killed Mixer when it didn't become a mega hit. Steam keeps it's niche features ongoing and generally improves over time even if at a snails pace. MS and other companies, they just kill the feature

Latest thing that is just as much Valve as it is community. PC gaming on Android. Valve initiated funding for Fex emu and it's paying dividends now that you can run a lot of Steam games on Android now. Same with recent versions of Proton/Wine that now have ARM builds for them. Major boon to Android PC game emulation. Eventually going to be a major plus for Steam in user friendliness compared to the storefronts not putting resources towards easy x86 to ARM translation support

TV show isn't on any different trajectory than Fallout has been since Fallout 2. Ya it's still a big jump in goofiness from 2 to Bethesda 3. But fallout 4 to TV show, that's not huge leap into over reliance on 50s commercial aesthetic and goofiness and snark. I'd be more worried about elder scrolls 6. Skyrim didn't dump out weird lore like oblivion which also had less weird lore than morrowind. Still solid though. Post Fallout 4, 76, Starfield, Fallout TV - I can see the next elder scrolls being a big up in goofiness for entertainment over weird lore that's entertaining. Like lots of "until I took an arrow to the knee" attempts at meme-able characters

Again, it's not early access. It's the general release date. Anyone can get access for $120. It is a general release date

There's practically no moat right now for VR operating systems. Meta had the closest because of their studios. Wide open again for Valve and SteamOS/Linux

It's just euro washing greed like 99% of the buy European of the past couple of years. Better off to support anything open source than the next Tim Epic
