- Comment on The Final Windows Audio Driver For Steam Deck OLED Is Now Released - Steam Deck HQ 5 days ago:
Will they upstream those drivers to the kernel?
- Comment on Celebrating 6 years since Valve announced Steam Play Proton for Linux 2 weeks ago:
So much THIS. Yes, absolutely. Thanks for reminding me I broke a gazillion PCs as a kid.
- Comment on Celebrating 6 years since Valve announced Steam Play Proton for Linux 2 weeks ago:
The challenge I face in my family is that my kids want to play what other kids play, and that means Fortnite and FIFA primarily, both of which can’t run under Proton and their respective publishers are to blame for intentionally not supporting the platform because it doesn’t make business sense to them (cost of support vs. quantity of users).
I will hold the door as long as I can, but if this doesn’t change, my kids will eventually ask me for a Switch or a PS5.
- Comment on Valve upgrades Steam Families and Game Recording in the latest Steam Beta 3 weeks ago:
Where did you buy it? I want to buy it in the US to avoid the high overprice that they sell ir at in my country.
- Comment on Valve upgrades Steam Families and Game Recording in the latest Steam Beta 3 weeks ago:
Steam families freaking rocks, the original library sharing was a pain for my kids. I’m so glad they are doing this. On my next trip to the US I want to buy a deck for my kids but I don’t know how, aince it requires a US based account.
- Comment on Black Ops 6 leak gives naughty players get access to the Max Payne-ish omnimovement system for the first time 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, maybe cryptic text must drive more clicks?
BOPS6 gives nasty players the ability to dive in any direction while > shooting, similar to Max Payne.
Doesn’t sell enough?

- Comment on Microsoft looking to restrict kernel level access after CrowdStrike incident might help us with our current Anti-Cheat dilemma 1 month ago:
if they build a proper API for it, wouldn’t we be in the same place as now ?
- Comment on Transformers: Galactic Trials Mixes Racing With Roguelite Combat This October 2 months ago:
That looks stiffer than a coke addict.
- Comment on Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam 2 months ago:
It’s a controller with Xbox layout and DualSense features. If you look at Valve’s latest news, Xbox controllers are the most common on PC. So, I guess they want to sell these to those users maybe?
Personally, I won’t buy anything without trackpads. I want a true Steam Controller 2, the first needed an additional stick and a proper dpad.
- Comment on Get Your First Look At Madden NFL 25 In Official Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
Last Madden didn’t sell on PC as well as on consoles, EA & other big names maybe don’t want to risk it. But yeah, I agree with the indies, there should be smaller devs that might surprise us.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 2 months ago:
Yes, devs work on Linux. Now, since the Deck, people (2%) are starting to game on Linux. The next battlefields are the desktop and the living room. The latter could be solved by a Deck 2 (and a new dock) with E-GPU support. That is trickier, there needs to happen a lot of things, and is much more complex.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 2 months ago:
People thought the same about portable, yet they did things for it to happen. If a company as inluential as Valve does the same for desktop, it could become a thing. I don’t mean dominate, I mean like a noteworthy event, just like the Deck.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 2 months ago:
They are risking Linux becoming a thing in the desktop space.
- Comment on Overwatchy FPS Concord gets new trailer and August PC release date with a beta in July 3 months ago:
Holy shit, the movement is so weird, way worse than I imagined.
- Comment on Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives 3 months ago:
They will release an Xbox mode, not only a UI. A true Steam OS alternative. But that takes time. I bet they are aiming for a 2025 release.
- Comment on SteamOS 3.6: How the Steam Deck atomic updates are improving 3 months ago:
But Steam OS is inside a container. Wouldn’t that container be using desync now?
- Comment on SteamOS 3.6: How the Steam Deck atomic updates are improving 3 months ago:
So, desync should end up in Bazzite too, right?
- Comment on Valve graphics dev gets Gamescope working on NVK with Explicit Sync 4 months ago:
Does this work for the proprietary driver too or only the FOSS driver? I wish I could use the proprietary driver while I wait for the FOSS one to achieve decent performance for the games me and my kids play.

They are actively working on that feature, should be ready this year.
- Comment on No, Jabba The Hutt isn't a Star Wars Outlaws season pass or special edition exclusive 4 months ago:
That’s on Disney, for licensing this property to scumbags like EA & UBI. LucasArts did better. We had TONS of great games back then.
- Comment on PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs launches in early May 4 months ago:
No local multiplayer, insta-pass.
- Comment on Emulation tool RetroDECK brings in Ryujinx for Nintendo Switch, many other improvements 4 months ago:
EmuDeck has non-free builds, supports streaming services. Can add individual games to Steam library.
RetroDeck is fully FOSS, focuses on emulation, I also found it easier to setup. Can’t add individual games to Steam library.
