It's really funny to see how out of touch those companies are with the portable consoles. They clearly don't understand what makes the Steam Deck a good console. They focus on the hardware specs and that's it, minimal work on the software side (ROG Ally is at least trying). Valve nailed it with the Steam Deck in various aspects: hardware is good, CAD files are available so it's highly customizable, but the cherry on top is the software integration, it is amazing and it's always improving. IMHO software is the real reason for Deck's success (OS, Proton, compatibility badges, etc).

Look at her face before sending the second message. She knows exactly what she's doing.

If it's not a real game, should we call it an unreal game? I will see myself out...

As much as I like the 'decentralized' stuff, the technical part of federation should NEVER be exposed to the end user if you want the platform to be mainstream. I still don't understand why a lot of federated projects think it's a good idea to expose that to the end user.

Yep. And wtf happened with LAN multiplayer? Even the Beta from Diablo II Ressurected had it, but they REMOVED IT from the release version. I call BS on what this Thor guy is saying.

Wtf are you talking about? He specifically says that he wants to have a conversation with people that will give constructive criticism, not someone that's just complaining and not giving any solutions or alternatives to solve the problem.

When I like them, they don't like me, when they like me, I don't like them.

I really hope they don't replace Reddit with Discord, it's a closed-source software with data not being indexable by a search engine. Even if they did find a solution to index all that data into a search engine, it would be awful to have to install a software to actually see/interact with it.

Let's see if they learned something from Warcraft 3 Reforged.

Windows Recall + Kernel level anti-cheat. How could it possibly go wrong, amirite?

Man, I wished they focused on Drive and Calendar. Still no Linux client for Drive :/

I hope "normal people" start exploiting that decision too. Training AI to consume stuff from big corporations and using the result to create open source/copyright free stuff from copyrighted works.

Me too :) I'm gaming exclusively on Linux for more than 5 years now. The Steam Deck was a blessing for this already amazing Linux gaming ecosystem, so I had to buy one (actually two now, I really wanted the OLED version 😁)

If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!

What is you favorite color? Blue. No yel... Ahhhhhgh!

I don't use Windows anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "Linux purists", if other people wanna use Windows, go ahead. But I'm not using it. I swear to god, if it becomes mandatory to use Windows at my company, I'm leaving the next day.

Save money, buy an Apple computer. Choose one.
