  Some projects will end up being a waste of resources, but others end up printing a ton of money.

  9.4 billion is the value mentioned on the article. 78.7% devaluation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How good is the Steam Deck really? (Not a gamer)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every now and then you run into games where you lose a ton of time trying to figure out a good controller mapping to play it properly, but in terms of working, most stuff do.

  Oh and the battery can drain out pretty fast too.

  Is it so weird that people in their 20s are learning to drive? It’s not mandatory to do it in their teens.

  The real secret is to not die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pokemon Go at home vs POKÉMON GO⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it wasn’t a game, it was a gamified data collection app. If someone actually wanted to make a game with this concept, it could turn out well, but that was never Niantic’s intention.

  And you only play with 5 cards; Sometimes you’ll have three pairs or a spare ace in your hand that you might think gives you an edge, but if it’s not part of the 5 cards that make your best hand, it’s as if it doesn’t exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck as a laptop replacement?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it for work in the rare occasions I go to the office, but there are monitors available there so I don’t have to rely on the device’s screen.

  It works pretty well but I had to install a ton of development dependencies that tend to be standard in every Linux distro but are not there in the steam OS.

  Plus some coworkers have heard that I work on a PSP, coding with the joystick buttons and that is a nice rumor I like to keep alive.
