WTF? Those specs aren’t even good enough for QHD for any semi demanding game!

Absolutely copyright is a flawed artificial construct.
But as it is the rights are NOT theirs from a legal perspective.
You can make your own and use yourself. But you are not allowed to either give it away or sell it. - Comment on 'Being Proud of the Thing We Made Did Not Give Us the Right to Make It' — Dbrand Cancels Its Steam Machine Companion Cube 1 week ago:
Of course they can, whatever makes you think they can’t???

That’s absolutely awesome, sad that they were vilified.

Fred Hampton
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton
Hampton was drugged, then shot and killed in his bed during a predawn raid at his Chicago apartment by a tactical unit
I must admit I don’t know who he is, but that is an excellent example of my claim that American society is sick.
A normal police of a civilized country would never do something like that.I don’t know much about black panthers, but AFAIK they started out as a group protecting black people that were harassed by white people, and whites still practiced segregation in 1969 AFAIK despite it was illegal at the time. The racial hatred was insane! Or maybe it wasn’t decidedly hatred, but a sense of entitlement among whites, and they hated when people of color tried to change that.
As someone who lives in Denmark, this is not something we have any focus on, except possibly an anecdotal story in history class in school.
Anyways people need to learn to pull together on improvements that respect human rights.

Oligarchs do definitely not control my country, because I live in a country that has full democracy contrary to USA that is a flawed democracy.
en.wikipedia.org/…/The_Economist_Democracy_Index
But it’s not because the democracy is flawed, or because the oligarchs have too much power, the American society is literally mentally ill with widespread accept of sociopathy that is only seen in very few countries.
Examples of that are, 3 strikes and you are out, prisoners can’t vote, lack of healthcare for all, extreme fascist like bigotry against LGBT+, death sentence, police shooting civilians. and of course extremely high murder rate, and the most extreme rate of people in prison in the world.
All of the above points are caused by a complete sociopathic lack in society to fix these problems. But go with the sociopathic solution of just persecuting the victims more.
THAT’S the sociopathy of American society. That you don’t see any other country with remotely equal wealth express to nearly the degree USA does. - Comment on Steam machine prices are live 2 weeks ago:
The problem is that you can build a way faster system yourself for the same money. And that can be easily upgraded later.
These things are supposed to be relatively cheap for the hardware when they come out.
And this only performs like an RX 6600XT at best. Which is a 5 year old lower mid range GPU.It’s not that it doesn’t have its merits, it’s a cool little box, and probably good enough for most games at 1080p.
But IMO it is a bit under-powered for the price. - Comment on Steam machine prices are live 2 weeks ago:
On that we agree.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s 100% on the people
Ultimately the responsibility is on the people. Who else would it be?

Absolutely, Trump is a symptom not the disease, American society is sick. That doesn’t mean all Americans are sick, there are good Americans. But enough Americans see psychopathy as an expression of freedom. So they are willing to vote for a clear psychopath. The disease in American society is like a cancer, it’s not all cells in the body that are cancerous, but it’s enough to make the society very very sick.

Even if a good candidate is elected, the power comes from the wealthy,
Exactly, taking your country back, should start with taxing the rich heavily. That would be a good start for Americans.

So are you one of those that claim that Republicans and Democrats are the same?
That having a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president is the same as if they were both Democrat?because if you answer that with a yes, I think I’m just gonna block you.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 2 weeks ago:
it’s practically the entire goddamn government.
Why don’t you draw the logical conclusion, and realize it’s the American population that elected the dumb motherfucker that is responsible for the entire administration. And an American population that also elected a congress that doesn’t do anything!
For fucks sake, Americans elected an obvious psychopath for president, with an equally psychopathic vice president!!!

I look forward to see this reviewed, 28 Compute Units on the GPU is below the Radeon RX 9060 XT that has 32.
Hopefully it isn’t too limited in other aspects like RAM bandwidth.But on the other hand an RX 9060 XT alone is almost half the price of this entire unit. So if it can perform about as fast as that, it seems like a pretty good deal.
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
Considering the increase in price, that turned out to be a very good deal. 👍
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
Yes of course you could use it as a PC on a desktop with mouse and keyboard.
I just don’t think that will be the typical use, but more with a TV sitting in an armchair or on the couch.
Maybe I’m wrong.
The value in having the controller included default, would only be if the price is lower for the bundle. Since the latest retailed for $99, it obviously shouldn’t cost $100 as a bundled part. - Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
I absolutely get that it makes sense that a new console comes without a controller, many people already have controllers.
But a controller is also pretty essential, and controllers get worn out too. So a bundling price of the 2 could also be more attractive for most. - Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
Isn’t that more than 50% extra compared to when the OLED version came out, I think it was 2023?
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
I thought a controller was generally included with consoles?

Wow a AAA that is praised for being actually good.
- Comment on Ubisoft shuts down any possibility of Rainbow Six Siege becoming playable on Steam Deck 5 months ago:
As I wrote they play it less. I never claimed they don’t play it. and I clearly indicated that the numbers aren’t stats, I made an example and a hypothetical based on it.
- Comment on Ubisoft shuts down any possibility of Rainbow Six Siege becoming playable on Steam Deck 5 months ago:
As I wrote it doesn’t mean they don’t play it, but it means they play it less.
- Comment on Ubisoft shuts down any possibility of Rainbow Six Siege becoming playable on Steam Deck 5 months ago:
The market they are missing out on is growing. If 4 friends decide to play a game, and 1 has Linux, those 4 will not play a Ubisoft game.
So even if Linux is only about 3%, it could mean 12% lower playtime on their games, and that will reflect in lower future sales. Where people will prefer to buy games they play more. - Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 6 months ago:
Sounds pretty stupid if you don’t know which platforms you want to target from the beginning.
If development really is that random and poorly planned, they are making extra work for themselves due to poor planning more than because they chose to support the Steam deck. - Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 6 months ago:
Of course it is, but it’s just the focus on how the UI is made that has changed, that does not inherently make it harder. It just changes some of the design goals.
I have fucking made UI’s from scratch in assembly on a pixel basis, that were better than a lot of the crap we see today.
- Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 6 months ago:
It’s a moronic oversimplification, and making a different approach is not the same as harder.
Sad that such low energy effort without reading the article first is even upvoted. Lowest denominator rules here. 🤮 - Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 6 months ago:
exactly
- Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 6 months ago:
No it’s not just hard work, it is about working differently.
- Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 6 months ago:
because the steamdeck is actually just a small PC
That is very contrary to what’s the point of the article. Supporting the Steam deck also means supporting the controller and the small screen format. Things that can benefit users of Windows based handhelds too.
- Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 6 months ago:
Wush!
Way to completely miss the message. Which include how user interfaces need to be usable on the small screen, and to make optimizations for lower end hardware and not just focus on mid range and high end.The exception being that if you make a very high end complex game, it may be better to not support Steam Deck at all, because if it doesn’t play well, it shouldn’t pretend to work.
