- Comment on HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks 5 hours ago:
Of course, I don’t think anyone would expect anything different, but what’s better is that they’re legitimizing steamos, and by extension Linux more and more by each one jumping on
- Comment on Playable GTA 6 map mod Project Vice is no more following Take-Two copyright strike 1 day ago:
Oh yeah because someone was going to play this and think “guess I don’t need to buy the real one now”.
- Comment on GNOME 48 released with Notification Stacking, Performance Improvements and initial HDR support 5 days ago:
Woop!
- Comment on Xbox, stop trying to make Silksong happen, it's not going to happen 6 days ago:
There’s not even an article! Not even a sentence! They didn’t even finish the meme!?
- Comment on Following the nightmare footage of AI-loy, Horizon actor Ashly Burch shares her stance on the whole debacle 1 week ago:
That’s fine, they actor just needs to be compensated for it. Right now they’re trying to argue that you have them your voice, tough titties get out they’ll use it how they want. I think there should be a completely separate payment system if they want to train on their voice too.
- Comment on Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 2 weeks ago:
See, this is why I’m disappointed with revolt. Because it’s such an amazing interface and replaces discord 1:1, but I can’t recommend it because they don’t have federation. So I have to make an account for every server, which is a non starter for me and most of my friends.
- Comment on Respawn Entertainment Just Killed Their Unannounced Incubation Team Project 2 weeks ago:
Why be interested in anything that any game company announced? They can just kill it tomorrow. Talk about burning bridges
- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Officially Confirmed 2 weeks ago:
*officially until they close the game studio
- Comment on Half-Life 3 is just the hot exclusive Valve needs to propel SteamOS past Windows 3 weeks ago:
But, maybe we can make a super clickbaity article anyway?
- Comment on Innersloth announce Among Us 3D by kicking Among Us VR into a crusher 4 weeks ago:
The big problem with 3d is that you’ll never get your friend group to all join the same platform. The great thing about among us is that I could have friends join from their 3 thousand dollar gaming rigs or their phone. It saved us during covid.
Unless you can still join from other devices, but I’m not sure who would have the advantage.
- Comment on These are the text messages that allegedly got a former Bungie executive fired, according to a court document written by Sony 4 weeks ago:
Holy shit, it is worth reading the article for those texts.
He’s guilty AF, and now he’s whining that he won’t get his payout? Maybe you don’t be a creepo level 10000
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t think it was bad, I honestly enjoyed it. I think people are too polarized, it’s either baulders gate or it’s trash. I disagree. It wasn’t top tier, but that doesn’t mean it was bad either. It’s okay to have a mid game.
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 4 weeks ago:
It was, the blue and red have an optical illusion with my eyes, it really looks like 3d to me, even as a 2d image
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 4 weeks ago:
Okay unrelated, but do the cogs in the mesa graphic there look 3d to anyone else? Is it intentional? Trick of the eyes? Brilliant if they did it on purpose
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 4 weeks ago:
Valve and I have trust. 20 years of it. They are there, have fair prices, let me play where and when I want, no gotchas, I trust them. Sure tomorrow they could break that trust, but so far they haven’t.
Then Amazon, who has continuously ruined my trust. Adding ads to an ad free prime tier, lying about delivery times, getting shittier and cheaper products on their store, and oh yeah, just being an evil company. And they wonder why I never even looked at their store.
- Comment on Ubisoft Financial Briefing Reveals Massive Loss In Revenue 5 weeks ago:
2024 was arguably the lowest point the company had in many years, with things getting so bad that the company’s leadership has been called into question many times
Never before this, no one ever stopped to think if they were doing a good job or if their plans made sense. There was a clear downward trend, the seawater was coming in and people were jumping out, but they decided it was fine. Now it’s half in the water and maybe it’s time to wonder if they’re doing a good job

I’m doing my part!
- Comment on GTA 6 publishers think PC is of "increasing" importance in 2025, but still won't announce the magic date 1 month ago:
Multiplayer is a crapshoot, singleplayer I’m more surprised when something doesn’t work. I was able to play Veilguard day one using proton. Madden 2025 they explicitly banned linux. Just always check protondb.com before purchasing.

As long as it works with proton I’m happy. There have been a few games that go out of their way to prevent proton compatibility.

I’ll be buying it, no shame in saying that. Just only once, and only on PC, as long as they don’t block Linux. I’ve waited 10 years for a new installment. What’s one more

Thank you, was about to rage
- Comment on Mass Effect 2 Celebrates 15th Anniversary 1 month ago:
The standard gamer right here. Anything different is immediately horrible and should never be attempted. Also a sprinkle of “it’s popular so it’s bad”
- Comment on How good is the performance for video editing? 1 month ago:
Plugging it in may give it more power, but doesn’t triple the CPU power.
- Comment on How good is the performance for video editing? 1 month ago:
Video editing requires heavy amounts of cpu, ram, and is detailed enough where you would want a large monitor with keyboard and mouse most times.
Deck is great for a lot of things, I would say this is not one of them. Can you do it? Sure, you can cook an egg on the back of it while you render for 36 hours. Should you? Probably not.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Has Finally Hit Overwhelmingly Positive On Steam 1 month ago:
I’ve played through on the highest difficulty, and eh, yeah it starts difficult but it does even out after a few hours of playing. I died a lot early game, but I’ve also played on normal. For those who complain about bullet spongyness, you don’t have to play on high difficulties, just turn it down and enjoy the story.
I just don’t understand how you can say an entire game sucks on such a small detail in my book, and if someone is that particular about it, why not just install a mod? Idk I think you’re right, a headshot is a headshot in that game, unless you’re dealing with some really chromed out people, then it gets nuts
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Has Finally Hit Overwhelmingly Positive On Steam 1 month ago:
It’s deserved. The only reason it got negative at the beginning was because of the rushed release. They’ve spent years repairing trust with the community and making it great. I’ve played through oh, five times now because it’s just such a great story.
The only negative things I hear anymore are things like “it’s too bullet spongy”, which to me is just so nitpicky. If you can’t look at the amazing world they built, the detail, the depth of the characters, the depth of the story, and all you can see is that - well I don’t think you’re going to be happy with many games at all because I don’t think anything can live up to your standards
- Comment on A Plugin To Install The FSR 3 Frame Gen Mod on Steam Deck Is Coming - Steam Deck HQ 1 month ago:
Very very neat. Is there a list of games that support dlss but not fsr?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director thinks GTA 6 might have the "clout" to normalise a $100 price tag 2 months ago:
I will get downvoted to hell probably, but I agree. I also think gaming pricing is out of date. $60 was set in the 90s. Maybe earlier. It has not kept up with inflation, while games have only gotten more expensive (albeit qso more popular). Not saying every game should be 100, but if it’s worth 100 I’ll gladly pay that much.
RDR2 was a masterpiece. It was worth 100 - maybe even more for how many hundreds of hours of enjoyment I got out of it.
Ubisoft on the other hand, makes what I put in the mid tier list. They’re a fine way to waste time, but a far cry (get it) from a masterpiece. In a 60 world they’re worth 40, in a 100 dollar world they’re worth 60 I guess.
