One of the Game Mode overlays already has a timer in the top right corner that estimates your remaining battery life
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 director "really proud" the gay romance he pushed for, which is somehow totally different to "woke" games' representation, is up for awards 1 week ago:
As someone who’s only seen a playthroufgh of the original game (I do intend to play it… Eventually), I can see Henry x Hans happening naturally. I personally doubt I’d do that romance path, but they already laid the groundwork to be a natural option

I wish the alpakka 2’s kickstarted had exceeded. That would have been sweet
- Comment on "I couldn't protect it" Pete Hines says he left Microsoft-owned Bethesda because he didn't want to watch it be "damaged and broken apart and frankly mistreated, abused" 1 week ago:
The old Bethesda uses the same old engine from 30 years ago
Tell us you’re a fucking moron who has no idea what they’re saying without telling us you’re a moron who has no idea what you’re saying.
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
You seem to not understand what “profit” means.
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
Sure, a lot of this is likely funded by Fortnite
If it needs to be subsidized by Fortnite then it’s by definition not profitable

Why do people like you always have to defend what a company does all the time?
Because it’s pretty fucking obvious that the 12% cut was just Tim Swiney trying to grab market share for EGS without actually putting in the work to develop it.
Remember how it took over 2 years for them to add a cart? Remember how they just laid off 1000 employees? Using Fortnite money to pay for exclusive deals and game givaways instead of actually developing the store hasn’t turned out profitable.
Also, ever notice how nobody was complaining about Steam’s cut before that? And let’s not forget that Steam Greenlight and subsequent opening up of allowing nearly any game onto their platform is what made the indie market more than an extremely small niche. Or the fact that much of the 30% cut is getting reinvested into Linux and FOSS to keep PC gaming an open ecosystem, which benefits everyone, including indie studioa
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 2 weeks ago:
Plus, their investment into Linux gaming and FOSS in general are preventing PC gaming from being locked down to a singled OS that becomes a walled garden.

Also note that nobody was saying this before Tim Swiney started trying to break into the marlet

They’re most likely all realeasing on the same day
- Comment on Good News! EA Is Expanding Its Anti-Cheat to ARM64, and Linux Could Be Next 1 month ago:
That would just make Linux worse
- Comment on Should I buy a used Steam Deck for Forza Horizon 5 and potentially FH6? 1 month ago:
The Steam Deck (and by extension any handheld) isn’t particularly great for 3D games due to the power limitations. Those games do generally run, but they either need lower resolution or lower framerates, and almost always drain the battery faster.

There’s only one line that could arguably be interpreted that way
- Comment on Happy four years to the Steam Deck - still the top PC gaming handheld 1 month ago:
Not the least of which is the lack of the “…” menu button.
I’d love to use deckyloader apps without getting up from my couch, but that’s not possible yet

Which is totally fine… for now.
Game studios aren’t dumb enough to make games that will never be able to run on people’s computers

This sounds like a copout
- Comment on 2 months ago:
they could afford to bribe their way out.
No, they don’t make a cent of profit. They can borrow enough money to bribe their way out, though right now they’re having trouble finding more investors with how much money they’re flushing down the drain.

This is a complete daydream, but what if this gets Valve to file an antitrust case against OpenAI?
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 2 months ago:
They were supposedly able to take a loss on the original Steam Decks, at least the lower priced 64GB models.
They. Did. Not.
The only thing remotely suggesting that is GabeN saying the price point was “painful” in a single interview.
Valve has stated that the Steam Decl wasn’t sold at a loss. GabeN was likely referring to the profit margins being very low, which is not the same as selling at a loss

The problem is that these are computers. If they’re too cheap, companies will buy them in bulk, slap windows on them, and use them for office PCs

You’re clearly intentionally arguing in bad faith if this is your response.

To bring up the old nazi bar analogy - you don’t leave the bar to the nazis, you kick them out. But instead what is happening is completely bass-ackwards
Except they’re not kicking these assholes out. Framework are giving them free advertising and even sponsorship money.
Framework claims to be making a “big tent”, but if you do that you need to silently tolerate the shitty actors, not actively support them unprompted
