  It became what it is currently the Steam Deck OS

  That’s still called SteamOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole point of SteamOS is the controller-first interface. If you’re not interested then it’s not for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, Gamescope is the big one. But part of SteamOS is that all of that comes configured out of the box.

  Nvidia is probably the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No I want a steam deck and a dock that lets me also slot in a discrete gpu

  That GPU would be stupidly expensive and also still hamstrung by the relatively weak AMD APU and associated thermals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I just like to install Debian or Ubuntu as the OS, and then install the Steam launcher:

  Then you don’t get Gamescope, which is kind of a big deal.

  And less importantly the direct-launch into Big Picture Mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  While an official release would be appreciated, I’d probably just continue using ChimeraOS/Bazzite/whatever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You could do that, but you could get significantly more performance per dollar by creating a new class of hardware that doesn’t have to be concerned with form factor, efficiency or battery, so it can be larger and more performant, and also does not need to include an OLED display or a controller or a battery…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA make it easier to get GeForce NOW on Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Works perfectly via HGL. Full screen and all. Same goes for Xbox Cloud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA make it easier to get GeForce NOW on Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just went to download it. All it is is a script that downloads Google Chrome and adds a shortcut to Steam.

  I’ve already done this with Heroic Launcher…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA make it easier to get GeForce NOW on Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nvidia supports Linux!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld Creator Loves That Others Are Trying To Clone The Game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, let’s make a clone of a clone.

  I’m so tired of original games being cloned and emulated.

  I just started up Shadow Warrior 3 and it’s just a clear rip-off of Doom and Ghostrunner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if there are substantial increases in performance and efficiency then yes, they’ll have to, especially for the latter. That’s something home consoles don’t have to concern themselves with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if the steam deck doesn’t do the same I fear their sales will plummet until a new model comes out.

  What will happen is the Deck will consistently have smoother gaming performance as developers optimize their games for the hardware, just like they do with consoles.

  No sense in bothering with that for a piece of hardware that gets a new generation every year.

  Also Valve probably doesn’t care if consumers choose a different handheld. Their goal was to create/expand a market to sell games, and they’ve already done that. Their work is basically done at this point. Same idea behind Steam Machines that were 100% developed by 3rd parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  which in my opinion is a clever move.

  Well that’s an interesting take? We have these things called “power profiles” that are not new. It’s just hamstringing performance…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most consoles go 7+ years without performance upgrades. I hope Valve follows the same pattern while continuing to optimize SteamOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[SteamGridDB] Pokemon TCG Live DMCA takedown when?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have read absolutely no news

  I mean it shouldn’t be news at this point.

  This is a blatant violation of Nintendo copyright, a very litigious company that’s been known to go after their own fan projects for much less, often completely legitimate and legal services. No one should be surprised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion there are 2 reasons to buy the Ally:

  1. You absolutely have to play competitive games that require kernel-level anti-cheat (these won’t work on Linux/Deck).
  2. You absolutely have to have the highest graphics possible (resolution/frame rate), battery life be damned.

  If you care more about the overall experience, ease of use, battery life, input options, color, sharpness, repairability, customer service, software options, etc. etc., SD is the answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield V now broken on Steam Deck / Linux with EA anticheat live⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When cheating is happening across most competitive multiplayer games what does it really matter to EA?

  I mean, other than making people not want to buy/play their games?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games is a new campaign to stop developers making games unplayable⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand what “the idea is”. The only way to make that will happen is to get people to stop buying them. And I think it’s abundantly clear at this point that that is not going to happen.

  So yes, piracy is and will be your only recourse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield V now broken on Steam Deck / Linux with EA anticheat live⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it your position that cheaters are inevitable and publishers should not do anything to prevent them from cheating?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know you could do that since forever with a laptop, yeah?

  Dunno, gaming laptops never appealed to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They fixed that weeks ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just 66 titles saw 80 percent of all playtime in 2023, most older games like Fortnite or GTA 5⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. yes, far more than that, actually.

  2. These games were not released last year. It says right in the title that they’re old games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think there is a co-op “mode”, it’s co-op only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games is a new campaign to stop developers making games unplayable⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve all been there right? You paid for a game, it required an active internet connection

  Yes I’ve been there. I immediately refunded the game and then downloaded a pirated copy that worked offline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because that’s even worse than an analog stick? 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Little of column A, little of column B.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t tried Moonlight. Tried SteamLink and that just failed catastrophically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not dirty, fool.

  It was using night sight and indicated it was done before it actually was, which led to the smearing.
