  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨Nioh 3 is coming in 2026, but once again it looks like us PC gamers will have to wait⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  RPS really has gone to shit I see

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the state of updating the BIOS on the Steam Deck/Bazzite?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS 3.7.3 Preview: Variable Release Rate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I’d assume they’re just talking about when installed on the handhelds Asus already have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS 3.7.0 Is Now In Preview Channel With Some Huge Changes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Founders Editions will be a few weeks late, as punters and sellers brace for launch day shortages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Punters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NetEase reward US-based developers of live service hit Marvel Rivals by sacrificing their jobs to "efficiency"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The US and Japan dev teams aren’t the only people working on it, there’s still the “core” team in China, though still doesn’t seem like a good move

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is live with an early glimpse of the new camping, wound and weather systems⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Series s?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Control 2, Condor and the Max Payne remakes are shaping up just fine, say Remedy⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but I’m not going to buy a PS5 just to not have to buy the game from the epic game store

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Control 2, Condor and the Max Payne remakes are shaping up just fine, say Remedy⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hope these aren’t epic exclusive but I’m sure I’ll be let down again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are returning Humane AI Pins faster than Humane can sell them, report says⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I like the physical design of the product but anyone with a brain could see it was never going to work as advertised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Braid: Anniversary Edition has sold so poorly that "the future is uncertain" for Jonathan Blow's company⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any examples of how he sucks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of the rarest NES games of all time goes up for auction⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah obviously you can verify it’s real I was just making fun of the verge thinking plugging it in means anything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of the rarest NES games of all time goes up for auction⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how they say that you’d be able to tell it was real by plugging it into an NES, as if nobody can make a working NES cart in 2024

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Miyazaki poke fun at this viral tweet from two years ago with an Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree secret boss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Long reach is right holy shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck Users Account for 10% Of All Players Using Steam Input⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean steam already provides information on controller support, and will tell you if a game supports the controller you currently have plugged in. Afaik they don’t even sell steam controllers anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you still use your Steam Deck much?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally play the more demanding games on my desktop and use it for 2d stuff when I’m away from home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hades 2 will change your "dash" and "sprint" abilities in its first patch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s very obvious if they do it to you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2's next premium warbond arrives next week with new weapons, armour and winter weather capes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re battle passes you unlock with the premium currency (which you can also slowly earn in game)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam says those hours you time criminals put in during advanced access now count toward the refund allowance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I usually wait for sales/reviews/patches etc to play the better version of the game, especially for AAA releases. It depends on the type of game as well for early access, I had a lot of fun playing Hades and Dead Cells before the full release and I’ll be buying Hades II as soon as they let me (I played the technical test and it’s going to be great). I think those being roguelites helps as opposed to something like a long RPG; I wouldn’t want to replay a 200 hour jrpg to see the changes they added in act 2 but with roguelites that’s just how you play the game already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam says those hours you time criminals put in during advanced access now count toward the refund allowance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind early access when it’s done properly by a competent transparent dev. There are many many cases it being abused though and I’ll generally only buy an early access game if I really trust the developers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail Benchmark Software Lets You Test PC Performance And Create A Character Before Launch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean there isn’t really much reason to build a demo that’s more optimized than the actual game would he, unlike with those examples I feel like to the kind of people who would actually download this and test it, it would be easy to verify if there’s any fuckery going on when the game actually comes out. It’s almost certainly just the engine from the game with most of the assets removed.
