Dude, I’ve got one, no need to go all fanboy on me.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 introducing a native Steam Deck build that improves performance by reducing CPU load and memory usage 4 weeks ago:
Dunno, but doing that would kinda defeat the purpose of a handheld, wouldn’t it? I guess I could do that if I were staying at an hotel or something, but this was not the case at the time.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 introducing a native Steam Deck build that improves performance by reducing CPU load and memory usage 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I mean I though it was implied that I played it with a keyboard on the PC, what kind of comparison would it be, the Steam Deck is itself a big controller
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 introducing a native Steam Deck build that improves performance by reducing CPU load and memory usage 4 weeks ago:
I don’t understand what you’re getting at. I don’t mind controllers, but in my opinion the controls for BG3 on the Deck aren’t great; I mentioned the Deck because that’s what I used, I have no idea how it is with other controllers. I played it on the Deck because I own one, I own a copy of BG3, and I like playing on the go? But it wasn’t great so I moved to the PC.
I didn’t issue any critique, I just asked a question because I wanted to see if anyone had info, no need to go all fanboy.

Yeah I don’t play RPGs with a controller
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 introducing a native Steam Deck build that improves performance by reducing CPU load and memory usage 4 weeks ago:
When I played it, Steam Deck controls were ok but absolutely not comparable to PC. Has this changed?
- Comment on OpenAI reportedly on the hook for $300B Oracle Cloud bill 5 weeks ago:
Let’s hope this hurts them bad. Oracle is evil.
- Comment on OpenAI reportedly on the hook for $300B Oracle Cloud bill 5 weeks ago:
According to Wikipedia, Oracle Corp. has 57billion yearly revenue, this is 300billion over 5 year, meaning it would more than double their revenue? Is that plausible?

Ideally they don’t even need to, other manufactures can adopt SteamOS on their handhelds now

- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 5 months ago:
I flip flopped a bit over the years on my laptop, right now I’m on KDE as I feel it’s the better DE at this time.
On the desktop I’d always go with KDE, no question.

Well, you’re probably right, but they could also work on two things at a time, it’s not like Valve is a single person…
- Comment on Steam Deck sales still going strong over three years later 5 months ago:
Switch is more portable and also easier to dock.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 5 months ago:
I’ve layered zsh, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting and syncthing. The first three because the version from homebrew behaved weird, syncthing because I’ve got two users on this computer and
systemctl enable syncthing@useris easier than dealing with podman containers right now. - Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 5 months ago:
As a long time Fedora user, it’s difficult to convince other Linux users of how reliable it is. I’ve used it on multiple computers for I think about a decade and I’ve rarely had problems, certainly fewer than I had with Windows.
Last week I finally parted with standard Fedora to try out an immutable version, right now it’s Bazzite… I’ve got to say it’s very cool, for some things it may be better for beginners, but for most I’d say it’s better to stick to the normal ones.
I think it’s better with KDE, though, especially if you’ve got multiple monitors with different pixel densities.

That’s what free software advocates have been telling everyone for decades. When you use proprietary software licensed to you, you have no agency in what becomes of it, they can force you to accept changes that you don’t agree with, violate your privacy, take what you thought you owned from you.
People give up freedom for convenience and treat those that don’t as crazy misguided idealists, thinking they’re fools for using less convenient and sometimes powerful fools for pointless principles only they care about… Meanwhile, if everyone was just a tiny bit like the crazy idealists, these companies wouldn’t be able to abuse their position because a modicum of resistance from everyone would be an overwhelming force for them.
Some will say it’s dumb being idealist about computer software, but aside from computer software being serious fucking business, the practices of these companies are what birthed disposable, unrepairable electronics, privacy erosion, robber AIs and so on. Do you think a tech industry dominated by free software supporters would have allowed the rise of people like Bezos, Zuckerberg or Musk? - Comment on Intel CEO announces layoffs, restructuring, $1.5 billion in cost reductions, expanded return to office mandate 5 months ago:

- Comment on This Steam Deck mount looks silly, but greatly reduces the risk of dropping Valve's handheld on your face while gaming in bed 8 months ago:
It’s a GoPro mount so you can probably find accessories to attach it to your kitchen aid if you want
- Comment on This Steam Deck mount looks silly, but greatly reduces the risk of dropping Valve's handheld on your face while gaming in bed 8 months ago:
The GoPro Mount is made by Mechanism, creators of Deckmate and its associated ecosystem. That means that you’ll need the sold separately Deckmate grip before you can even attempt to strap your Steam Deck onto your GoPro harness. I mean, you could 3d print it as well

For something different you can try The Room games. Definitely not life changing but atypical.

What genre? Those are some peculiar games. I guess you might like Strange Horticulture.

What’s with the hostility?
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 1 year ago:
Problem is, any occasional performance issue with Proton on the Deck can be justified with “it’s an underpowered portable”, if it happens on a powerful PC, people aren’t going to be as forgiving.
