- Comment on EA rebrand and refresh their anti-cheat into EA Javelin Anticheat, still blocks Linux / Steam Deck 4 weeks ago:
With my backlog of games I have, but never played, I really find it hard to care. I’m not running out of games. Keep piling on reasons for never buying your games. So I won’t. Not my loss.
Eventually it’ll be enough reasons for enough people that they’ll notice. Guessing it isn’t that time yet though?
- Comment on Alternative OS? 4 weeks ago:
There’s also PikaOS. It’s using Debian mechanics (so apt as the package manager and such), but a modern kernel and their own repos. If you’re more used to this world, might be worth a look.
I personally also came from a mostly debian background, but ended up going with CachyOS for my desktop needs. It’s arch based, and just very polished and well thought out.
- Comment on Fixing a Steam Deck OLED bug for the Linux kernel 6.14 release was a major challenge 1 month ago:
Ah yes the old classic “I don’t know what the actual problem is, but just waiting a bit seems to help”.
- Comment on Best of Steam 2024 - the top performing games on steam, including best sellers on Steam Deck 5 months ago:
Oh right, had just assumed it’s 720p because the width is 1280. So it isn’t 16:9, which is nice but slightly surprising!
- Comment on Best of Steam 2024 - the top performing games on steam, including best sellers on Steam Deck 5 months ago:
The display of the steam deck is only 720p in the first place.
- Comment on Valve will finally sell the Steam Deck in Australia 7 months ago:
“a few hundred more” for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that “lucky”.
- Comment on Apple relents and approves Spotify app with EU pricing 9 months ago:
So it’s fully on brand for Apple then?
- Comment on Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux 10 months ago:
Despite how good the steam deck is, any competition is good. With MS hardware track record I don’t have the highest hopes, but again: any competition is good.
- Comment on NonSteamLaunchers Steam Deck plugin in testing, plus a way to Remote Play Together anything 1 year ago:
Heroic also supports Amazon games, doesn’t it?
- Comment on [Game] Fallout 4 Loses Graphical Options on Steam Deck From "Next-Gen" Update 1 year ago:
Totally not needed either. Just have an additional shortcut for “safe mode” and it’s fine. No need for a full launcher just for that…
- Comment on [Game] Fallout 4 Loses Graphical Options on Steam Deck From "Next-Gen" Update 1 year ago:
The core lesson should be “stop adding useless launchers” and even more so “stop making launchers the only way to change graphics settings”. I’m glad the steam deck has rules in place that prevent games with a forced launcher to receive a “verified”.
That’s what I’m taking away from this anyway.
