• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, easy way to get me to put away my wallet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is now a Decky Plugin to use Lossless frame gen on Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stupid question, but what how does this work on deck hardware, I thought framegen was only supported on newer GPUs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: MMO Developer ZeniMax Online Studios May Have Closed Most Of Their Locations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh come on, it’s Microsoft. They’re forced to use copilot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: MMO Developer ZeniMax Online Studios May Have Closed Most Of Their Locations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they only made one of the most successful MMOs to date, of course Microsoft is closing them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone know what this part is called?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to run on some form of electricity!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft cancel Perfect Dark reboot and shut the developers down in the name of "continued success"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta love how they always have a euphemism available for “ruining people’s livelihoods so we can appear slightly better to investors”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4's development is "more console-first", but don't worry, CD Projekt will still try and turn your PC into the sun⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense. CP2077 they completely ignored at release that the game was unplayable on all the consoles the suits promised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activision Quietly Force Adverts into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Loadouts and Players Absolutely Hate It: 'At This Point It Really Feels Like Opening Up a Mobile Game'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s good context, you’re right the title made it sound like they were advertising KFC at startup. But, then again, an ads an ad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ZeniMax QA workers have reached a tentative contract agreement with Microsoft, paving the way for better wages and more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. Microsoft has been taking advantage of contractors for decades to avoid paying real salaries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activision Quietly Force Adverts into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Loadouts and Players Absolutely Hate It: 'At This Point It Really Feels Like Opening Up a Mobile Game'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So… They stopped playing right? Because there are a lot of similar games without ads, so why would people just put up with it. Right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real-world map data is helping make better games about farms and transportation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah because someone was going to play this and think “guess I don’t need to buy the real one now”.

  Woop!
