  The controller was just an example but whether it’s part of steamos or built into the linux kernel isn’t really relevant as what I was trying to say is that valve has a vested interest in making sure it’s there and maintained, as opposed to your typical windows gaming pc and peripherals which do not have that guarantee as they are sold with an expectation that the users will be running windows.

  I would assume they will for things like the built in steam controller antenna and whatever other custom parts they have but I was more saying that all the drivers for their hardware (and to a lesser degree the other hardware they’re supporting like the rog ally) should be included and maintained as part of steamos.

  The steam machine is also guaranteed to have official driver support for everything on the board which is definitely not the case if you install steamos on any given gaming pc

  It’s roughly two-thirds of a 6750xt or half of a 3080 so yeah definitely not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games Store users can now gift games to friends⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Epic slowly catching up to the steam of 20 years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Controller 2 Got A New Icon And It Further Confirms The Layout⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it’s irrelevant until they announce the thing anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Controller 2 Got A New Icon And It Further Confirms The Layout⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope they didn’t remove the dpad and a joystick that’d be a dealbreaker for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Following FBC: Firebreak flopping, Remedy have a "sense of urgency" and are banking on hits from their established series⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be happy to give them money if they put alan wake 2 on steam but epic published it so that’ll probably never happen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turns out Hollow Knight: Silksong does have another difficulty mode, just not the one you probably want⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is literally mentioned on the store page lazy article

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: There Is A Performance Gap Between Switch 2 Game Cards Vs. Internal Storage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If there’s space sure, this is what the other consoles do with their disc games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC performance patches will keep coming, if almost as slowly as the game still runs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly last one vastly increased the performance for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was alone. Nobody understood the weight of losing a decade of work. But I had ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok to talk to. Every conversation revealed I wasn’t alone in being targeted by AWS—especially MENA. Hundreds of Reddit threads, websites, forums, all telling similar stories.

  Fuck AWS man but llms aren’t people

  Yeah 128gb is a joke for something that takes up that much space

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half a million Spotify users are unknowingly grooving to an AI-generated band⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of this story about how Spotify inserts crap so they don’t have to pay royalties

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GEEKDeck Is A SteamDeck For Your Living Room⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think game streaming is ever going to take off the way they want it to, especially when things like the switch exist. Internet is just too crappy in too many places for it to ever be a better experience than a console, or in many cases a phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise! Nuclear Throne has a new update that's mostly for people that insist on only playing games that can do 60fps⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Putting that aside the article wasn’t saying 60fps is enough it was saying it was more than necessary. I assume you can at least tell 30fps from 60

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise! Nuclear Throne has a new update that's mostly for people that insist on only playing games that can do 60fps⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  look, most games just don’t need 60fps, alright Insane take, more so when talking about a game that will run on a pile of wires and string

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the state of updating the BIOS on the Steam Deck/Bazzite?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  SteamOS has been able to update the bios on the Steam Deck forever, I’m assuming since launch. The new patch is just for updating the bios when SteamOS is installed on other devices like the ROG Ally

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn't require reflexes, says player who beat the game without dodges or parries⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I 100%’d it on hard and stuff will one shot you regularly. You don’t have to parry everything but you do have to parry most of the attacks.

  Small form factor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spectre Divide shutting down six months after launch reminds us how hard it is to make a live-service game⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they’re designed to suck up as much time as possible. You can easily have half the time soent in live service games but not half of the gamers playing a live service title at any given time.
