• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony to no longer bring PlayStation narrative single-player games to PC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve bought Pray for the Gods when it launched the Kickstarter. The lack of polish put me off. The bar was too high. I enjoy the PS2 version more than PFTG… the script, the ambience, the score, performance, I like SOTC more than PFTG in every aspect except graphics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shelve your hopes to play Ghost of Yōtei or Saros on PC, as PlayStation boss reportedly confirms plan to stop porting narrative-driven singleplayer games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A flop in relation to what they spent making it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alleged Steam Machine specs according to Chris Mizo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, $ 633 - $ 715 if they go by average markup margins (15-30%). But that’s a big IF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony to no longer bring PlayStation narrative single-player games to PC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, everytime I caved to hype and downloaded a demo or purchased a Sony published game… it was for nothing, just cool graphics, and I ended up refunding it. As a 42 year old, I’ve played those kind of games countless times, graphics alone won’t grab my attention enough to keep me playing.

  That said, if they ever published the shadow of the colossus remake on Steam, I would buy that in a heartbeat just to collect it. I’ve finished it multiple times, but I want to be able to comfortably play it whenever I please, with the touch of a button, for the rest of my life.

  They lost billions with Concord & Marathon plus there’s the Steam Machine launch that gives them a bad vibe, just let them finish sinking the ship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sunshine game streaming tool adds Vulkan encoding plus XDG, Pipewire, and KWin direct screencast capture⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how much of Valve’s downstream fork they can adopt, or if it’s worth it and they are willing and able.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO 2K Drive is getting delisted soon and servers will shut down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s where I got it. Haven’t played it though, same as with every game I got from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨KDE Plasma 6.7 Beta arrives with Plasma Bigscreen, new Union theme system⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine your Steam Machine on your living room TV: you exit to desktop and are met with plasma big screen. Sounds great!

  I only hope we can switch back and forth between bigscreen and classic with just a toggle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Eurogamer] Mixtape review⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  90’s teen simulator, as a millennial why would I want to play that? Sounds boring AF.

  I have my eyes set on Crimson Desert, looks cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord joke that it's The Year of the Linux Desktop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC it’s world minus china

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord joke that it's The Year of the Linux Desktop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC Linux in is at 11% of Steam users. And with the Steam Machine it will only grow as it did with the Deck.

  What is the year of Linux? For me, it’s already here. Now it’s time to just grow out of gaming, and capture another segment like the creatives. If they could use professional grade software that is fully compliant with industry standards, then Linux could see another major increase in users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord joke that it's The Year of the Linux Desktop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a matter of time with these kind of companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luanti (Minetest) on Steam Deck: usage and review⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam is the largest game store ever. Why would they want to skip it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨KDE gets over €1 million in funding from the Sovereign Tech Fund⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy mother of Linus, this is great!

  On top of that, judging by the improvements listed it looks like they are preparing KDE Linux to be a candidate to the EU OS throne.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luanti (Minetest) on Steam Deck: usage and review⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If Luanti were to receive the attention needed to upgrade to make use of modern pipelines and the GPU, I’m sure the Deck would benefit and perform better.

  As Luanti isn’t available on Steam yet…

  There you go. Just publish it, and add a donation DLC that gives the user a badge, a mention in the credits or something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller First Impressions and some Issues on Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  xwayland on desktop, they are migrating to Wayland, they use kwin but you can use gamescope of you want. In gamemode it’s fully Wayland, uses gamescope.

  Same with 32 bit, they are working towards a 64 bit executable.

  Now that Valve is balls deep into Linux, we’ll all see major gains.

  It’s ironic I don’t like the art style. That said, I hope them the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What driver would the Steam Controller come with if not xinput?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing about Linux is that anyone can contribute to make what you describe actually happen.

  Insta-hardpass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Live out your witchy dreams in the open world adventure Witchspire in June⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was sharing what I would like out of the game in order to purchase it. I’m not saying what the game needs. I guess people don’t read or just use the downvote button as a “disagree” button. Either way, I see that practice as counterproductive to encouraging discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Live out your witchy dreams in the open world adventure Witchspire in June⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks great, but in order to purchase it for my kids I would need them to make a few changes to the following aspects:

  • Female only playable characters
  • Partial Controller Support
  • Steam Deck Compatibility Unknown

  If this game would run fine on Steam OS, my kids would prefer to have the option to play as a male if they could chose. Sometimes they chose female, some times they just want to identify themselves with their character. Just let them have fun their way.

  I get why not, I mean… Witches. Yeah. Well, they come up with whatever story to make it work. Just let more people enjoy the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam controller price⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t they cost more? I mean, they have hall effect sticks and 2 touchpads.
