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 1 week 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.

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 1 week ago:
exactly
- Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 1 week 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 1 week 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.

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.

I don’t understand the purpose of that, or how that would be irony.
Looks just like a dumb comment to me. - Comment on Steam Machine 1 month ago:
Of course I have, and Steam deck was priced very aggressively, but info on who makes this and how it will be priced is 100% absent here.
- Comment on Steam Machine 1 month ago:
There’s an LED strip, y’all!
Cool, I hope they keep that idea. 😀
Anyways it all depends on price/performance is good.
Previous attempts at 3rd party Steam Machines were not good in that regard. - Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 4 months ago:
OK I’ll have to look into that.
- Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 4 months ago:
You can always download and install manually.
To be honest I wasn’t aware GOG even had a Linux client! Maybe it doesn’t have proton like functionality, but they did make install scripts for wine once. - Comment on $3,000 Prototype Steam Deck 6 months ago:
Well my brain only working at idle power, when I saw prototype I thought it was something new, not released yet.

This is a 6 year old protype for the original steam deck.

Sorry, there apparently was a second mail the joining party needed to confirm, works now! 👍 😎 😋

I just enabled family share with my wife, but none of us has the games of the other?
And there is no hint of why? - Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 7 months ago:
Sounds fair enough, and not a problem here.
- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 7 months ago:
OK sounds like we should try it out.
Funny you mention Oblivion, because that’s one of the games I don’t have, but my wife does. - Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 7 months ago:
Can I just declare my family member and then have access to that library?
- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 7 months ago:
I don’t see how family share solves anything, I looked it up a few years ago, and it seemed pretty useless.
What exactly does family share do that is actually useful? - Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 7 months ago:
I agree that’s not a good way for steam to handle it.
Seems to me that as long as it’s on the same global IP address which indicate it’s the same household, it should be considered OK.
But I do understand why they don’t want to do what Netflix did originally, where people could share accounts without limit. - Comment on The impossible Steam Deck update just dropped. 9 months ago:
It’s good to see Valve is so invested in making gaming on Linux awesome. 👍 😀 😎

Raising the price maybe?
Still I hope he gets serious time. They have 7 victims, so I don’t see how he can escape a conviction. - Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Has Been Completed by 1.3 Million Players, Shadowheart is Most Popular Love Interest 2 years ago:

Nope, somehow he has first managed to get house arrest, and later he even managed to get that relaxed:

Capitalism is supposed to give consumers choice.
Nah that’s just propaganda, capitalism is supposed to be efficient and make profits.
User choice comes ONLY from regulation preventing monopolies from dishonest practices. - Comment on Hey, the A.I said it not me. 2 years ago:
In Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, the most average person was created to go inconspicuously undercover on earth. Problem was that she was extremely beautiful and instead of being anonymous she attracted a lot of attention.
