- Comment on itch.io upgraded their app to support Steam shortcuts, a headless mode and linking existing downloads 1 week ago:
Maybe they’ve changed it by now. Heroic is also working on itch integration, so I’m holding out for that.
- Comment on itch.io upgraded their app to support Steam shortcuts, a headless mode and linking existing downloads 1 week ago:
I wonder if the headless mode has anything to do with Heroic’s upcoming itch support. Heroic would only add stores if they could utilise an external cli program to use it. Not sure if that is still the case.
- Comment on itch.io upgraded their app to support Steam shortcuts, a headless mode and linking existing downloads 1 week ago:
The trouble with the Linux support is that you could only download games with Linux versions with it. And I think only those that have been uploaded in a very specific way.
- Comment on "I'm a massive fan of Aliens, but it is a very different beast": Why Creative Assembly are still ignoring every movie but the original in Alien Isolation 2, despite heading planetside 1 week ago:
Aliens takes place about seventy years or so after their games. Referencing that wouldn’t make sense. Apart from the tonal discrepancy.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3's Mizora becomes a fully-fledged companion thanks to a new mod, just in case you fancy adding a calculating cambion to your crew 1 week ago:
Maybe they repurposed some Lohse lines from Divinity Original Sin 2. Same actress.
- Comment on Nvidia DLSS 5 releases this week with NBA 2K27, so the AI yassification filter's busy beautifying basketballers early doors 1 week ago:
Those different results by LLMs are due to a randomness setting they specifically add. When you control it yourself you can remove it and always get the same output for the same input.
Of course, the different video game frames are all new inputs every time. They will probably have tried to get consistent results but I doubt it will work perfectly all the time.
- Comment on Steam Deck / SteamOS hit over 30,000 Verified + Playable games 1 week ago:
I mean, there is. Just with two levels instead of three. Playable and verified are the two highest and on top of that we have Unsupported for everything where we know that it doesn’t work and unknown which can be pretty much any of them but more often than not plays well.
- Comment on Would this work in a steamdeck? 2 weeks ago:
You could try looking for local listings of SSDs. I saw someone selling their 512 GB Steam Deck SSD on ebay for cheap because they had upgraded.
- Comment on Lossless Scaling Frame Generation on Linux lsfg-vk moves away from GitHub, changes license due to AI slop forks 2 weeks ago:
Is Factorio even GPU bound on anything but a potato?
- Comment on Does anyone remember the name of this, I believe, SNES or Original Playstation RPG game? 2 weeks ago:
In Baldur’s Gate PCs would wait in a tavern that was in a tower where you could also rent rooms to rest. The location acted as a central hub. That was on PC, though.
Didn’t play BG2 but I heard you can get your own castle in that one. Maybe PCs would wait there.
- Comment on Discord have yet to receive a GTA 6 leak subpoena from Take Two, says marketing director, but they will "evaluate the validity and scope" if they do 2 weeks ago:
Hmm
- Comment on Gunstoppable is vibrant, fast and full of explosive wall-running action 3 weeks ago:
Anyone with a guesstimate?
- Comment on A playable build of GTA 6 appears to have leaked, as Rockstar and Take-Two scramble to take down videos 3 weeks ago:
Ok, I didn’t care for the video leaks. But this is hilarious.
- Comment on Repairing the Steam Deck LCD Gets Much More Expensive as Official Battery Reaches $180 3 weeks ago:
There are ways to recalibrate it, maybe that’s all you need to do.
- Comment on After 24 years, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is finally distributed uncut in Germany — game was censored due to strict laws regarding Nazi symbolism 4 weeks ago:
And now they don’t have to jump through those hoops anymore.
- Comment on The LULULOOK Gaming Pillow for Steam Deck is the ultimate way to be lazy 4 weeks ago:
I’m just fat. Solves the same problem.
- Comment on After 24 years, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is finally distributed uncut in Germany — game was censored due to strict laws regarding Nazi symbolism 4 weeks ago:
Old games are still being played. Might as well play them uncensored.
- Comment on XBOX PC and Game Pass coming to Linux with the 'Xodus' project 4 weeks ago:
It’s an unofficial project. Not by Microsoft. They won’t lock down anything.
- Comment on Illinois's new law requires operating system providers to add age verification by 2028 including open-source projects 5 weeks ago:
You might want to filter out Lunduke. He is totally unreliable.
- Comment on GOG have a great sale on shooters going on 5 weeks ago:
Still waiting for the Dark Forces Remaster to go below 10 €.
- Comment on Roblox causes Wall Street value estimators to cry themselves a $9 billion puddle, as a result of pushing less kids towards aggressively monetised viral games 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, still not how I was hoping.
- Comment on Roblox causes Wall Street value estimators to cry themselves a $9 billion puddle, as a result of pushing less kids towards aggressively monetised viral games 5 weeks ago:
Finally the app is less attractive for paedophiles.
- Comment on Steam Beta adds HDR streaming on Steam Deck OLED 1 month ago:
I wonder how they can stream stuff for remote play but disable a simple broadcast in big picture mode.
- Comment on Steam Machine LED support on Linux has been merged into OpenRGB 1 month ago:
The built-in controls are already pretty good.
- Comment on leds-valve-dkms - Steam Machine LED driver for other distros 1 month ago:
Man, I love open source! Great work!
- Comment on Steam Machine is currently selling an estimated 12k–15k units per week, based on its strong position on Steam's Global Top Sellers chart. 1 month ago:
- Comment on How to resolution issues? 1 month ago:
There is a way to inject FSR 4 into games but only if they already support another upscaling algorithm like FSR 3 or DLSS. Don’t know about the Steam Machine/Deck specifically but in general it’s called optiscaler. I bet there is a Decky plugin to make it easier to activate.
- Comment on CD Player for the Steam Machine 1 month ago:
Someone could make a custom front plate with a vertical disc drive.
- Comment on The Steam Machine calls itself steamdeck in my network 1 month ago:
I guess some of the games falsely seeing the Machine as a Deck check for Proton.
- Comment on What solution, if any, do you use for gaming in bed? 1 month ago:
Well, I was shocked when I couldn’t use my Quest 1 controllers on my PC. But luckily Valve is much more open.
