The recent SteamOS 3.8 update seems to have greatly improved steam remote play

While we’re in this topic, YSK about Polaris as well, a Linux native headless streaming server which also boasts a handful of great other features.

Edit: Snatching the top comment didn’t felt right so: I’ve tried the newest Remote Play. It’s definitely snappier. Stats say video latency is under a frame now (at 120 fps) when set up properly. But latency’s still even lower with Vibepollo (~half a frame). So good job to Steam people, Remote Play finally making sense for everyday Steam users, but there’s still some space for improvements.

That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit

To be honest, Windows Phone OS was a marvel in terms of user experience and design language. It was a fresh breath on interacting and utilizing the new always online world.

Calling it ‘Bad Software’ is not fair at all.

Too bad MS picked every possible bad decision to cripple it, starting with not putting it’s weight behind the OS at all.

I really, really miss the feeling of being in control of my whole digital existence with just a single glance.

Tyvm!

So our game designers might tell it better but, the economy inside the game relies on supply/demand chains,

  • Production of villages
  • Villager parties carrying products from villages to cities
  • Workshops in towns process some of the product to have higher tier materials
  • Merchants work in-between cities does actual trade (buy low sell high) of everything in-between

So wars and interventions (banditry, raids, sieges; player clearing out infested trading routes etc.) can and will distrupt or boost the overall logicstics, which could lead into inflations, deflations etc.

You absolutely can play the game as a merchant who doesn't fight at all and gain power by amassing wealth and influence.

There's no special UI for trades, except you can find out lucrative business by talking around, running workshops or caravans and leveling up your trade to have UI show what's cheaper or expensive than average at one point.

If you're into a merchant roleplay as I do, you can give it a shot. There must be a 2-hr refund time on Steam if you don't like it :)

Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs

WINDOWS USERS: Installling Bazzite (Gaming focused Linux Distro) is very, very easy. All you need is a some disk space, and a 16gb USB stick. You won’t lose any of your Windows data - even you don’t need to re-download any Steam game! Your Windows library will plug-in easily into Linux Steam.

Follow this guide and you’ll be grand: https://youtu.be/JxPsKhJGTrs

Yesterday I’ve installed Bazzite (as a dual boot) for the first time. As a long time Windows user, Steam Deck convinced me lots of previous problems are solved now.

It’s the first ever I’ve installed a Linux Desktop distro willingly. And so far it’s working very, very smoothly even with my complex set of hardware.
