Exactly my feelings as well, even “time saving” MTX is insidious because it provides an incentive for the developers to slow progress to entice users to buy the mtx.
I’m mostly fine with cosmetic-only MTX but that’s because I’m able to control my impulses on buying those kinds of things the majority of the time, unfortunately I have known people who are not good at impulse control and end up spending literally thousands of dollars on bullshit cosmetics. They don’t even play the game they spent all that money on anymore.

I mean one is literally required to play the game, the other does not.
So depending on what micro transactions are available, it seems worse to require a monthly sub then have truly optional/cosmetic mtx

I think they were fixing it already just not in the upstream kernel? As I’ve had audio just fine on my oled the whole time

Sunshine/Moonlight streaming is best of both worlds, my deck stays charged all day and stays cool and my PC in the other room doesn’t heat up my bedroom anymore.

- Comment on Days after cancelling their Linux-compatible mod loader, Nexus Mods announces that they're bringing SteamOS support to Vortex 5 months ago:
Oh good centralized under github instead of Nexus, that’ll solve all the problems!
I’m not sure how long you’ve been modding games, but nexus is a treasure despite its problems and the way it has scaled was to suit the need of the userbase.
Don’t get me wrong, flathub is great, but there’s an insane amount of other variables in the mix with modding games that makes it much more complex then just downloading a package. Not to mention the entire ecosystem built out (thinking things like wabbajack, mod organizer, etc)
- Comment on Days after cancelling their Linux-compatible mod loader, Nexus Mods announces that they're bringing SteamOS support to Vortex 5 months ago:
It does if you’re launching through something else so steam doesn’t realize you’re launching it, like don’t directly hit play on the actual game.
- Comment on Days after cancelling their Linux-compatible mod loader, Nexus Mods announces that they're bringing SteamOS support to Vortex 5 months ago:
Disable updates in steam and launch with a different icon to bypass the update on launch, classic Bethesda game workarounds

And who’s hosting that git repo?
- Comment on Fallout: London hasn't developed into a Fallout 4-esque hub of new quest and expansion mods so far, and its lead has theories why 5 months ago:
I’m not sure what you think I’m misunderstanding, we’re commenting on a news article talking about a massive mod for Fallout 4 not having a lot of extraods being made for it by the community and your take is “Fallout 4 wasn’t a cultural hit so if doesn’t have a strong mod base.” Except you’re absolutely wrong as there are 70k mods on Nexus for it and the fact there’s a news article talking about a full expansion mod at all that we’re literally commenting on lmao.
And again, launching mods with third party launchers such as Vortex or MO2 (as is common for Bethesda games) do still count in Steam charts for example.
So you’re wrong in every front except… Yeah watched both avatar films and can’t name a single character lmao

Wrong, they still get counted in Steam, even if your claim were true that’d mean more people are still playing the game 11 years after it released.

2022 CoD vs 2015 FO4, 70k mods on Nexusmods
I’m not saying the base game is amazing, but it clearly has staying power and a healthy mod community built up around it.

A quick look at steamcharts alone with dismiss your claim.
steamcharts.com/app/377160 21k active users now, 33k 24hr peak

They’re just going to use the same Big Picture Steam layout, that’s exactly what it’s for.
- Comment on Steam Controller 7 months ago:
My issue on PlayStation controllers is my thumbs hit each other If both sticks are inward, for example moving right while turning left.
I don’t have large hands so I don’t understand how it’s not a more widespread reported issue. Xbox style controllers completely solves this and things like my deck of course its on opposite sides of the screen
- Comment on Steam Controller 7 months ago:
Same, I always have to disable it or greatly dial it back, for example in fallout nv I leave it on with low sensitivity while I’m holding the trigger to ads, so I can have the fun aiming experience when I want to, what I really can’t stand is “thumb on joystick activates gyro” MF I leave my thumb on the thimbstick when I want to use it, why would I want to trigger gyro?

Purely legal means is the issue here, I agree it’s a problem that they’re do things like that, I just feel that if they’re going to take those routes and make it literally impossible for me to own something well… There are rather easy ways around that, and if I can directly support those who made that piece of media, I will!
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 8 months ago:
See but it was only released that way, it’s not like it was physical and became digital only (as far as I’m aware) it’s like music or YouTube videos, it is primarily a digital platform and medium.
As someone who’s been digital only with media for nearly a decade and a half, it doesn’t matter to me if I can physically buy it, can I get it digitally somehow? Yes.

I can assume what your point is, but can you clarify why? Lol
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 8 months ago:
I agree with everything you’re saying, however it’s a bit much to claim anyone would ever be “locked in” can always just cancel the subscription lol
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 10 months ago:
What handheld, wait no, console period can?
Most people don’t care that much to play at 90 fps on 1440p on a mobile device.
I suspect part of the issue is you’re a kbm player primarily?

Yeah, not really possible lol

Can you recommend a good router for it? Even with an RAXE500 dropped packets are a nuisance with both on wifi.
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owner is a company whose co-founder has already had to reassure folks that NFTs and crypto aren't incoming 1 year ago:
This is such a click bait headline and the comments so far just doom and gloom lmfao.
I am worried about the future of nexusmods, I didn’t even think about my lifetime sub going away but they did state it wouldn’t, they also specifically said they were looking to reduce ads and not thinking about paid mods. These are all good things, we will see how it ultimately plays out but the headline is hilarious. “THEY’VE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE BEEN ASKED”
I can’t imagine a possibility that they wouldn’t have been asked this even if they had never said a thing about AI, Crypto, or NFTs, that’s the hot button things people like to rally against right now so it’s going to be asked.
- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 1 year ago:
They actually improved this recently however you need a second account and add it to your family, prior it would work just like this with one account, only one user can use a game attached to a library. However now as long as it’s not the same game, it let’s you play whatever on the second account.
