- Comment on Power bank to Steam Deck full chrages. 5 days ago:
I have a beefier version by that same brand. It’s somehow on sale almost all the time on Amazon. It works fine, the glossy finish of that screen is super dumb because you basically have to consciously put the cable on the back side of the power bank or it’ll scratch the screen like crazy.
- Comment on Steam Deck is getting official Nvidia GeForce Now support, with HDR 1 week ago:
why not use electron like windows and mac app
I bet that’s what they’ll be doing for the announced “native” app, so Chrome a stop-gap for the beta and the final release will have an integrated web renderer but the actual game delivery by still just opening the website.
So no idea what the fuss is about.
- Comment on Steam Deck is getting official Nvidia GeForce Now support, with HDR 1 week ago:
The app announced in the news post will be a native app, not just kiosk chrome wrapper.
So it’ll be CEF opening play.geforcenow.com
Why would it not be some way to launch the website? As long as it’s x86-64 code, it’s technically native.

Does this mean geforce now on Linux
flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chrome --file-forwarding com.google.Chrome @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --app=https://play.geforcenow.comIt’s just an icon for the Flatpak version of Google Chrome opening play.geforcenow.com
Hardly a game changer.

Not overstretching your financials is more important, though
- Comment on Wife was using the Deck, I wanted to play on the couch, I had to get creative 2 weeks ago:
CES is next week. Maybe an interesting 3rd party SteamOS device comes out or you make a console from cheap PC components and Bazzite as operating system.
- Comment on Wife was using the Deck, I wanted to play on the couch, I had to get creative 2 weeks ago:
Good enough to get me through until we can justify a second Deck 😬
Do you buy the same game twice, so a second copy for Switch? If yes, subtract the cost of the games off a second Steam Deck with family sharing. That was my justification back then when the Steam Deck was announced and I actually ended up with a number in game prices higher than the cost of the hardware.

www.steamdeck.com/dock or a 3rd party equivalent.

- Comment on Decksight, an OLED screen replacement for LCD decks, is now in crowdfunding 5 weeks ago:
The steam deck really can’t do 1080p
When docked, I use 1080p all the time.
- Comment on Decksight, an OLED screen replacement for LCD decks, is now in crowdfunding 5 weeks ago:
A drop-in low power OLED display upgrade for LCD model Steam Decks
DeckSight requires a custom BIOS
future updates may temporarily disrupt DeckSight functionality until re-flashing is performed.
So, not drop-in after all.
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 1 month ago:
Could Waydroid have anything to do with this device?
No, not specifically. The embedded controller is just a piece of hardware, apparently optimized for low power consumption and it is already compatible with Linux, so it makes sense to reuse that instead of making your own.
My guess is Waydroid will be used to bring Quest VR games to the stand-alone VR headset.
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 1 month ago:
Valve hasn’t even announced their own steam machine yet have they? I’d be betting on ASUS to be first to market with whatever’s in the pipe from OEMs.
Valve didn’t announce anything. They technically didn’t even announce Deadlock. I think whatever will be announced, we’ll see next month at CES any my personal opinion is that a new generation ROG Ally with a SteamOS option is at the forefront (no way Asus isn’t also making a Windows one but perhaps with less fanfare).
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 1 month ago:
theverge.com/…/valve-steam-machines-steamos-steam… Sounds like they really are working on a standalone console
That’s about devices by 3rd party hardware OEMs.
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 1 month ago:
It could be reference hardware for 3rd parties looking to make SteamOS devices. We at know that’s happening.

- Comment on Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers) 1 month ago:
They promised to release a generic version of it targeting more devices in the past, and this post hints that that day is closer.
This post says that Valve is talking about hardware by Valve partners with SteamOS developed in collaboration with these partners. It says nothing about it being generic.
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 1 month ago:
As you wrote yourself, the controller acts as a mouse, not as a regular Xbox controller.
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 1 month ago:
I fear that, just like the Steam Deck’s controller, it won’t be usable without Steam running. IMO by default and without any special “driver” running in the background, the sticks and buttons should just behave like a Xbox controller.
- Comment on Sony is reportedly working on a PS5 portable 1 month ago:
The problem is that handhelds need games that are easy to get and out of. PC has tons of those games while the PS4/PS5 has very few of.
No idea what you’re talking about. The top charting games on Steam Deck are mostly also available ob PS4/5.
Also while some people want to play console games on the go it’s less fun on a smaller screen.
- Comment on Sony is reportedly working on a PS5 portable 1 month ago:
IMO for this to have any chance against the Switch 2 it needs to be able to run PC games. Ps5 is already struggling with very few games (with most of them likely not working in such a handheld format), it needs something to sell on.
A handheld in development now will have at least launch-PS4 level of performance. Also, PS5 games just need to ship a Low Graphics preset most game developers make for PCs anyway.

- Comment on SteamOS 3.6 Is Now Released With Performance Improvements, Mura Compensation, and Much More - Steam Deck HQ 2 months ago:
Always porting not-yet-upstreamed patches to new release kernels is additional work to the upstreaming work towards the latest development tree. The Valve engineers interviewed around the very first Steam Deck announcement said their goal with moving from Debian to Arch was to minimize the patchset maintenance burden. Their approach surely has that goal in mind. There are only two variants of Steam Deck with minor differences between them. If backporting patches from newer kernels is less work than forward porting their patches, they just stay with that version for a while. Updates to drivers for hardware they don’t use and filesystems they don’t use aren’t relevant to them anyway.

- Comment on Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube] 3 months ago:
When a normal person talks about a topic, they don’t have to continuously clarify that they still talk about the same topic, it’s assumed.
It’s a new statement in a new paragraph.
Oh, now we interpret according to the intent of the author?
Accept that you misunderstood and move on.
- Comment on Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube] 3 months ago:
The guy said he bought games, and those don’t work as well natively.
No, he didn’t say “those”. He made a statement about commercial Linux games in general.
if he didn’t buy them it won’t change his experience.
Shouldn’t make a generalized statement like that then.
Yeah, fuck those Linux users! Only sell those games to Windows users!
No idea how you get to that from my statement that’s advocating to make unmaintained games free. 🤷

Proton is the gateway drug to us getting more Linux native games.
It’s not when Win32 apologists keep making insane claims how stable Proton is… “Proton is great, it just runs all the Windows games” is the mess that got us to the place where games we buy just start crashing suddenly because nobody of those developers realizes that each major release of Proton must be treated like its own OS with proper QA targeting that. Proton works great for old games because these old games no longer change. For modern games that still get updates Proton is a gamble because a reverse engineered version of the Windows API just isn’t stable.
