What is this bullshit?
There is zero reason I can see to trust this data. - Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 1 week ago:
We had never winter nights, but somehow I never got around to finishing that?
- Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 1 week ago:
I perfectly understand not caring for the hassle to get games top work back then.
I remember when the humble indie bundles were new, it was absolutely amazing to get a couple of games that were actually playable and fun. World of Goo was by far the best game I had played on Linux when that arrived. - Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 1 week ago:
I didn’t play it very much, I suppose it was OK, but I think it was a huge failure for Microsoft. Maybe others did like me, only played it for a few days, and then lost interest.
I think we had Playonlinux back then. Before that I personally only used WineHQ and their recommended tweaks. So 100% manual. Goddam there were some weird settings for graphics that could be crucial. 😋 It was quite a chore to get anything to work back then. - Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 1 week ago:
Thinking about it a bit more, I now recall I had multiple steam clients installed in Wine to start them up with different Wine settings, because the games didn’t run with the same settings.
But to see my first game, I may have to ask my wife, because she had Visa before me. - Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 1 week ago:
Weird, I must admit my memory is unclear on that.
On my list it says 5 Apr, 2012 Age of Empires: All in Wonder 13,49€
So if the Linux client didn’t come until 2013 I must have run it in Wine as you say. Because I’ve been running Linux since 2005, and I “only” dual booted for a couple of years.
It may have been my first Visa purchase then? Kind of embarrassing that I paid 13.49 Euro for a Microsoft game. 🙄 Especially since it became free to play soon after. 🤡 - Comment on Steam Frame gets kernel-level CD-ROM support a day after a community member asked for it 1 week ago:
Which only confirms my original comment. It’s cool they can make it so fast, having a flat structure is the reason.
But you would be very unlikely to see something similar from Microsoft or Apple. - Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 1 week ago:
Weird several games are not on that list for me?
It goes back to 2013, but I used Steam on Linux way before that.
But in the beginning I had my games gifted to me because I didn’t have VISA. - Comment on Steam Frame gets kernel-level CD-ROM support a day after a community member asked for it 1 week ago:
Absolutely no problem in theory. But when it’s a major company, such minor issues often have to be decided by a board. Reports need to be written, and there are procedures that more often than not can take months, just to be sure hasty decisions aren’t made, and that no single person can be held responsible if something goes wrong.
Everybody needs to have their back clear. - Comment on Steam Frame gets kernel-level CD-ROM support a day after a community member asked for it 1 week ago:
Cool that they can make changes that fast. 👍
- Comment on SteamOS for ARM Handhelds v1.2.1 (unofficial port of Steam Frame's OS) 5 weeks ago:
Thank you, I get that now. I was just originally confused that you called it unofficial, when he writes it’s official. IDK why he writes it like that?
github.com/hashtagbasit/SteamOS-ARM-Handhelds
This is Valve’s official SteamOS for ARM
That confused me until I read further.
But you are 100% right that this is an unofficial adaptation. - Comment on SteamOS for ARM Handhelds v1.2.1 (unofficial port of Steam Frame's OS) 5 weeks ago:
Why do you call it unofficial?

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 4 months 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 4 months 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 4 months ago:
On that we agree.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 4 months 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.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 4 months ago:
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 4 months 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.

Considering the increase in price, that turned out to be a very good deal. 👍
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months ago:
Isn’t that more than 50% extra compared to when the OLED version came out, I think it was 2023?
