- Comment on Paradox delay Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 yet again because technical quality is "more important" than sticking to a date 3 days ago:
It’s also important to do a proper analysis when you have to delay for the first time because it should also be the last time.
When you promise to release something with five different dates, people kinda lose their trust in you.

Is anyone surprised? There isn’t even a million gamers in Europe who care about the petition to stop killing games, this is apparently ok.
- Comment on Prusa Goes to the Cloud with Optional “EasyPrint” Slicer 4 weeks ago:
And here I am, just waiting until someone finally does a full-blown slicer for Android. Like, my tablet has a keyboard and a mouse, it would really be nice to slice on it.

You don’t want a €55 piece of plastic?
- Comment on Jiggle-powered, apparently decent action game Stellar Blade confirmed for PC release in June 1 month ago:
Ah, jiggle physics, the most important part of any game.
- Comment on Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024 2 months ago:
On my PC there were two surprisingly good games: Driftland: The Magic Revival and Hammerting.
Driftland is a really interesting kind of strategy and I quite enjoyed it. Hammerting would be really great if the devs weren’t forced to cancel it by the publisher, as such it’s unfinished and the game doesn’t teach you pretty much anything, so the learning curve is steep. The game loop is fun at first, but gets repetitive (not surprising given it was cancelled).
- Comment on EA will shut down the Origin app on April 2025 — company asks users to migrate to the new EA app 2 months ago:
Unless it’s GOG, then you own the installers you’ve downloaded. Not on the intellectual property sense, but in the physical sense, as in you literally have them stored somewhere.
- Comment on Persistent packages on Steam Deck using Nix 3 months ago:
Distrobox seems to use docker/podman? Not what I’m after, but I’ll read more on it, never heard of it before.
- Comment on Persistent packages on Steam Deck using Nix 3 months ago:
The move is intentional, the configuration file I included makes Home Manager manage .bashrc and .bash_profile, the original files are moved for backup.
Ping wouldn’t help that much, there’s around ~30 devices on my network. And it’s very much possible my PC blocks ICMP. And in addition, nmap includes the manufacturer in the output which is what I wanted to base my guess on.
- Comment on Persistent packages on Steam Deck using Nix 3 months ago:
And if anyone’s interested in what prompted the writing of this guide, I wanted to play Palworld but didn’t know the IP address of the local PC my server is on. I was also really lazy to get the IP address from the PC itself, so I decided to use
nmapto scan my local network and find the PC that way. Found out nmap is not installed by default so I had to install it somehow and then I remembered that SteamOS added the/nixdirectory to its exceptions that survive across upgrades.In short, instead of taking two minutes to get the IP address I spent over half an hour getting nix to work. And decided to share in case it helps others.

- Comment on GOG launch their Preservation Program to make games live forever with hundreds of classics being 're-released' 4 months ago:
There are many tools to download all your games (I’ve even created one), you can download your games regularly. Sure, you need the space for it, but you need space for everything you own, be it physical or digital.
- Comment on GOG launch their Preservation Program to make games live forever with hundreds of classics being 're-released' 4 months ago:
It’s not, they just decided they have a right to brag about it. And they do, when I started Dragon Age: Origins today, an update definitely surprised me.
- Comment on Gaming 2024 5 months ago:
I once tried it for work, it was nice, just lying down in a comfortable position and simply moving the screen wherever I wanted it.
- Comment on Gaming 2024 5 months ago:
Buy a phone controller (like Razer Kishi or Razer Junglecat) and use some streaming technology to play your PC games on phone. My favourite is Sunshine/Moonlight combo, but Steam Link might work as well for you.
- Comment on How AI Detection Software Turns Professors into Cops, Tech as Systems of World-Making, and More 5 months ago:
Hopefully they’ve turned to better detection tools, those that were available a few months ago marked almost all my genuine texts as AI generated.
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 7 months ago:
On the 1st page I found exactly one game that I’d maybe want to play, but not like I couldn’t live without it. None on page 2 and one game again on page 3. Every single game I wanted to play on the Deck works (true, some of them needed some tinkering).
Remember, I said the solution is simple for me. Generally the games that don’t work are not really my cup of tea, like online games and generally stuff that’s more cash-grab than a game. There are few games that would make me consider getting Windows to play, but luckily all of those work well. I still wouldn’t install Windows on the Deck, though, I’d probably stream it from some PC.
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 7 months ago:
Well, at least for me the solution is simple: don’t buy those games.

Isn’t that what Heroic does? Or does this do something else (or better)?

I have only positive experience with them. The only downside is it gets hot like hell, but other than that it works spectacularly.

- Comment on God of War Ragnarök heads to PC with DLSS, ultrawide support, and a PSN requirement for some reason 9 months ago:
So, buy, negative review, refund, wait for Sony to remove PSN requirement, profit?
- Comment on No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve 9 months ago:
Both of which is equally horrible. Yes, you should be able to give what you bought to anyone, including your brother and it should automatically transfer to whoever you (or your country’s laws) think should get it when you die.
- Comment on No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve 9 months ago:
Yeah, but no one’s pretending Epic is good, while the sentiment that Valve is somehow pro-consumer is thrown around a lot.
- Comment on No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve 9 months ago:
Can’t wait until the EU explains to them where their place is.
Also, do people of Lemmy still think Steam is the best company ever?
- Comment on Are you using GOG games on your Steam Deck? 9 months ago:

- Switch to desktop mode
- Open Heroic Games Launcher
- Install game from GOG
- Log in to GOG if you’re not already

What are those? I’m in EU, never heard of those.
- Comment on Poland to scrutinize digital game platforms like Steam and PSN on suspicion of anti-competitive practices 10 months ago:
Nice! I’ve been saying for a while that the Steam monopoly needs some regulation. Hopefully the rest of the EU catches up as well.
