  Looks good. I’ve got an itch that this game may scratch. Hopefully it has upgrades like orbital rings and skyhooks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller: Dropped and doubled inputs?! Bad connection?!⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally, the pairing process is straight up laughable. Connect the controller to your puck to try to pair it, and it prompts you on screen to confirm? How am I supposed to agree to pair it if my controller isn’t paired in the first place??

  Who doesn’t have a cheap-ass mouse for stuff like this?

  Great. Now can we please fix the same issue for the original Steam Controller on the Deck?

  Is adding a F2P game or a demo a purchase in this context?

  No

  Nobody cares

  There’s one listed for $500 on Ebay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They did do it with the controller though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated" Valve say, surprising no one, promising to get more stock in⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Require an account three months old, at least one verified purchase in the past year, ten hours played across any title(s).

  Most of this was already implemented. Valve required accounts to be at least 1 year old with at least one purchase. They did the same for the Steam Deck

  Aren’t most of those scalpers?

  While there are some scalpers, there is 0 evidence to the claim that “most” sales are for scaplers. Quit spreading misinformation.

  Yes

  Only via bluetooth, which has significantly more lag

  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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller shows signs of life, as leaker suggests that Valve has received its "first large quantity" shipments⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish the alpakka 2’s kickstarted had exceeded. That would have been sweet

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I buy a used Steam Deck for Forza Horizon 5 and potentially FH6?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.
