• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real-world map data is helping make better games about farms and transportation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  NIMBY Rails has been insanely fun. Their tagline is politicians are wrong, you know what’s best for your community or something like that. Very fun to make the transit systems we should have, and very satisfying to see ridership on those systems

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 release won't be delayed again now that it has a "specific date", assures Take-Two boss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if there’s anyone who knows when it will be done, it’s high level management

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A note about the security of your Steam account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying every three months, but after 5-7 years like me, it’s probably just a good idea. Who knows what devices have the passwords saved on it still

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A note about the security of your Steam account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate they took the time to do this. Still though, when was the last time you changed your steam password? Regardless of this it never hurts to update it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to change your Steam password? Data from over 89 million accounts has reportedly leaked to the dark web⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Backend vendor access credentials it says, I am guessing everything in valve’s side is fine. That being said, when was the last time you changed your steam password? Probably time anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve announce SteamOS Compatibility ratings, an extension of Steam Deck Verified for more devices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a plugin for SteamOS that does this, I’m on Bazzite and it works very well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocketwerkz's CEO alleges Unity are threatening to revoke studio's licence over apparent personal licence usage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody should be optimizing to use unity anymore. I know personally devs who have worked there and confirmed this is their business now, just strangling devs for license revenue. They may open the gate a bit at the beginning to lock you in, but they’ll slam it shut eventually behind you. And god knows if your game is even remotely successful they’re going to go out of their way to get their hands on your money

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delta Force devs say Desktop Linux support is 'not part of our agenda in the future'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are several games working on proton with anti cheat. Saying no to Linux means saying no to me, so guess I won’t play that one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo - Legion Go S with Valve's SteamOS gets a price increase at Best Buy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can think of one big reason why …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with revolt is that they didn’t do federation, so every server is going to be limited to people who want accounts on that one, and discord has shown us that people want one interface to see all of their servers. So I’m not surprised. I like their UI, but they need to federate with other servers.

  As for hosting I understand what you’re saying. There’s a few options to host your own with a couple of clicks online, but paid of course. To test it out I’d say set up on a smaller instance and see how you like it. It’s rougher than discord for sure, but I’ve tried all of the others and it’s where I’m landing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I’m not mistaken, that might be a server or app level item. You’re using the element app with matrix org. Try something like the fluffychat app, or maybe another server if you prefer. If you go to matrix.org you can see all of the servers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also federated, so anyone can run a server and any of your users can join any other servers. I’ve been slowly migrating my discord server over to it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We have no official information on an Oblivion remake," say Bethesda, which isn't a denial, is it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Starfield?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization 7's next update will make food actually worth investing in and let you play forever, if you've got that long⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my god my friends and I were PISSED. The game just ended! You made it through the third age! Congrats! Game ends. We were just entering into a major war and had a strategy planned out, we were moving troops then it was just over.

  No more one more turn, no more alternate victory conditions, just done. Very unsatisfying end, and that was about 4 days of play to get there. Really soured us all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I say fuck it and buy a steam deck now? Before all the tariffs hit.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even separate from that, if OP does not have at least a few months of savings, even in good times, their number one priority should be saving. If they do not have savings then they are not in the position to buy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Luna and Electronic Arts sign a multi-year deal, as Luna expands into more countries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I say good tbh. There’s a lot of people who can’t afford big gaming rigs and cloud gaming closes that gap. As long as I get to still play the way I always have them in happy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Woop!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox, stop trying to make Silksong happen, it's not going to happen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why be interested in anything that any game company announced? They can just kill it tomorrow. Talk about burning bridges

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 3 is just the hot exclusive Valve needs to propel SteamOS past Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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
