- Comment on Valve reconfirm the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller are due in 2026 1 week ago:
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 week ago:
That would just make Linux worse
- Comment on Should I buy a used Steam Deck for Forza Horizon 5 and potentially FH6? 1 week 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.

Wild Blue Skies looks like the sequel to Star Fox 64 that people have been waiting >20 years for

but it’s really expensive to pay for the traffic.
Why not torrent?

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 2 weeks 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
- Comment on Steam Deck now out of stock in Europe in addition to USA, Canada and Asia 3 weeks ago:
Multiple millions
- Comment on Prepare for HDD availability trouble as they're getting sold out too 3 weeks ago:
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
- Comment on Mewgenics Co-Creator Responds to Cameo Complaints: 'I Understand We Live in a Time Where a Meow From Someone Who Has Different Beliefs as You Is Scary and Frustrating, Confusing and Controversial' 3 weeks ago:
This sounds like a copout
- Comment on 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
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 5 weeks 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
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 5 weeks ago:
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
- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 5 weeks ago:
You’re clearly intentionally arguing in bad faith if this is your response.
Ta ta, you’re not worth bothering with anymore. Go lie to someone else

Here’s the comment/thread where I learned about it: programming.dev/comment/21880176
Framework has done several shoutouts to Omarchy and DHH in official marketing material and is actively sponsoring HYPRLAND with money

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

Apparently Framework have been sponsoring some projects run by alt-right grifters lately fyi
- Comment on GDC 2026 Report - 36% of devs use generative AI, while 28% target Steam Deck and 8% Linux 1 month ago:
If you truly think that, then you go do your own survey about it. The one in the article is fairly clear on it’s results.
Not everyone uses AI for work. Me and my coworker do a lot of coding and neither of us touch AI at all. Hell, I get mad whenever DuckDuckGo pushes their stupid default AI summary in my face
- Comment on GDC 2026 Report - 36% of devs use generative AI, while 28% target Steam Deck and 8% Linux 1 month ago:
Note that 36% is a far cry from the “all devs use AI” claim that AI shills love to push
- Comment on Days after cancelling their Linux-compatible mod loader, Nexus Mods announces that they're bringing SteamOS support to Vortex 1 month ago:
Its only fairly recently that people expect mod manager programs to handle downloading the mods and keep them up to date.
This is not necessary.
Nexus mods has had mod managers handling downloads for over 15 years. And good luck trying to get people on any mod service that can’t handle that nowadays.
And the rest of your comment is just you talking down like I’m a 5 year old. Fuck off with that noise. I’ve been modding for over a decade, both with and without mod managers.
If you can’t talk to someone without being a pretentious prick that insists that they’re smarter than everyone else, then just shut the fuck up.
And don’t bother responding, you’ve proven you’re not worth talking to and you’re getting blocked.
- Comment on Fable's evil landlords won't grow devil horns, as reboot ditches classic character morphing due to a lack of belief in objective arseholery 1 month ago:
There’s never anything like:
- Kiss the baby, take over the orphanage, run an outward front which looks like a fantastic charitable organization while training the orphans to commit crimes for you.
Damn, that’d actually make for a really awesome quest mod in Skyrim
- Comment on Days after cancelling their Linux-compatible mod loader, Nexus Mods announces that they're bringing SteamOS support to Vortex 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, I think the catch would be that any mod manager you want to use would need to be modified to integrate with torrent/I2P/etc. Probably doable with something open source like Mod Organizer 2 though
- Comment on Days after cancelling their Linux-compatible mod loader, Nexus Mods announces that they're bringing SteamOS support to Vortex 1 month ago:
We need a fediverse alternative to mods, possibly utilizing torrents to cut down on bandwidth for various servers.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 2 months ago:
Also, fyi, Hooded Horse has a publisher sale on Steam right now.
- Comment on NVIDIA announce a native Linux app for GeForce NOW 2 months ago:
Too fucking late Nvidia, I already dropped your ass. And funnily enough, I’m getting better stability with my RX 9070XT on Windows than my old RTX3070ti. I doubt the comparison will be any better for Nvidia after the Linux switch
- Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 2 months ago:
One good thing (and likely the only good thing) about the current RAM shortage is that people are probably not going to be buying games that “require” 64GB of RAM anymore, forcing those devs to optimize
- Comment on As AI Data Centers Disrupt US Cities, Wisconsin Woman Violently Arrested After Speaking Out 3 months ago:
And they’re crazy loud. Some days, it’s a constany 100+ decibels of sound around nearby homes due to the cooling systems.
