  Teach your nephew about the evilness of Nintendo and why he shouldn’t support them anymore.

  Remember the old day of Ragnarok Online private servers (an MMORPG).

  Even though it’s not the official intended feature (I think the game source codes got stolen and leaked).

  But it’s the way things should be.

  They are.

  Now we just need to wait for the CD to come back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is where I’m confused. Games for Mac seem to run fine on both Intel Mac and Apple silicone Mac, and run even better on the later.

  The only downside is Apple has dropped support for 32bit so it broke a lot of old games.

  If Valve can make Proton to bridge the gap between Windows and Linux, I’m sure they can do something to make x86 games run on ARM (just like Apple did and they’re not even focused on gaming, Apple hates gamers)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone on Lemmy said that would require Valve to completely rewrite the Proton layer (which they’ve invested tons of time and money in) and probably the SteamOS would require significant overhaul too. And all the backwards compatibility would be thrown out the window.

  Or in other words, that would require Valve to completely redesign the Deck from scratch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With the current rise of PC ARM processor (Apple silicone, Snapdragon X), anyone feel like Steam missed the opportunity when developing Deck with x86 and now they have to stick with it?

  I tried Apple MacBook Air M2 with a bunch of games and emulators and it runs amazing while being extremely efficient.

  I can run Switch emulator Ryujinx with Mario Kart Deluxe 8 at 60FPS and it only need 12Wh, compared to my PC (i5, 1070) need ~150Wh to do the same thing.

  Yay, another billions of dollars invested in new ways to show me ads.

  Pixel Pass

  Killed 8 months ago, Pixel Pass was a program that allowed users to pay a monthly charge for their Pixel phone and upgrade immediately after two years. It was almost 2 years old.

  LOL so no one got their upgrade? What a fucking joke.

  Just stop spending millions in making games photorealistic where it doesn’t need to.

  I can’t wait for the steam deck to sell officially in my country. Currently it’s $1000 for the top version, without any warranty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The PSP Go form factor was a MASSIVE FAILURE for a reason. It received heavy criticism for the unintuitive and uncomfortable feeling.

  So what do you think?

  LOL, I literally wrote that comment and went to sleep. Just to woke up the next morning to see the internet exploding with news about the refreshed Deck :)))

  Definitely gonna get a 512GB OLED now. If I hold off till Christmas, I may even be able to get the 1TB. The SSD upgrade is overpriced but the anti-glare should be nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Guys, would it be wise to buy a Deck now (almost end of 2023)? Since rumors about Deck 2 has surfaced. I’m afraid the Deck 1 will reach end-of-life soon.
