Oh I haven’t played with Decky Loader, I don’t have the patience for all that stuff anymore so first solution that works is good enough for me

- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 2 months ago:
What I meant is that there hasn’t been more emphasis on controller support since the Deck released, games release on consoles and PC so they already support controllers and games that don’t are just made easier to play with the track pads on the Deck, they’re still just as shit to play on a regular controller.

“renewed emphasis on controller support”
Eh… I’ve been taking with a controller on my PC for a very very long time without any issues…
- Comment on Why are there so many different Proton versions? Proton 8, Proton 9, Experimental, GE-Proton 4 months ago:
Just saying, from a user perspective it’s not what people are used to, they don’t keep multiple copies of the same software installed in case an update breaks something and they expect that if something breaks the fix will come in an update, not that they’ll fix the issue by forcing the use of a previous version of the software they don’t even realize it’s still available to them.

How many software do you keep multiple versions of installed on your computer? How is it not logical to expect the newer version of something to still be able to do what it did before and more?

The flat sides don’t work for me with the Deck which is much wider.
And it’s not as if I was alone either
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 5 months ago:
So? The problem I have is issue points because the angle is wrong, no matter the weight it would be an issue after a while.
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 5 months ago:
I get cramps after 20 minutes and it’s not as if I had particularly wide shoulders. I wouldn’t consider the Switch to be ergonomic either.
The Ally has more angle
And the Legion Go has detachable controllers and is wider.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO earns $30.6 million more despite laying off over 2,000 employees in 2024 — salary package represents a 63% raise from the previous year 6 months ago:
So the company still gained, but with that money they could have cut 300 less employees and that would have been 300 people making 100k/year instead of one guy making 30.6m more…

Do they launch the actual EA launcher or Ubisoft Connect and you can buy your games from there and install them without giving Valve their cut?
- Comment on That didn't last long - the Junk Store for Steam Deck has its Steam page removed 7 months ago:
What are you referring to? Because in this case Steam would be getting a certain amount once for you to be able to playing hundreds or thousands of games on another platform
- Comment on Bazzite is the next best thing to SteamOS while we wait on Valve 7 months ago:
On my (all AMD) computer it dropped the display signal as soon a there was load on the GPU when running Bazzite, so I went with Mint instead where I had to fuck around to make my wifi antenna work 🤷 Too bad because Bazzite looked awesome…

Oh so you’re just another one of the people for whom if it’s Valve don’t it then it’s ok, funny how your principles go out the window for this one company.
Gabe aa multi billionaire buddy, Valve also made billions exploiting people’s weaknesses, the only difference is that it ends up in one guy’s pockets instead of shareholders.
- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 7 months ago:
So you’re not giving Valve money either, right? Want some hats?

- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 7 months ago:
So you don’t see value in studios getting guaranteed financing in exchange for timed exclusivity instead of having to rely on the lottery that comes with releasing on all/other platforms?
It’s not as if the studios were obligated to sign with Epic either, they just look at the offers on the table and they figure that “Hey, we’ve got financial obligations to meet, including paying our employees, maybe it’s not such a bad idea to get some money upfront.”
It’s the same as choosing between a salaried job vs one where you’re working 100% for commission…
Also your argument would work if you and others were boycotting games that only release on Steam because they end up having a ton of exclusives, the only difference is that they have them because of the size of their user base, they don’t need to give anything in exchange for it, just the hope that the game will sell more is enough to make devs and publishers ignore the other platforms and if their games don’t sell enough on Steam only then too bad, they don’t have anything to back themselves with.
- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 7 months ago:
So the thing that you want is something that is available on Epic.
Yay monopoly!

They’re not making enough profit on Epic because people prefer feeding Steam’s monopoly and would rather wait for the game to come to that platform than purchase it on a platform where the devs would get a bigger share of the sale. It’s not that they don’t make enough profit per copy on Epic, it’s that the number of customers isn’t high enough to compensate.
The social stuff is bloat, you need the platform to purchase and launch your games, that’s it, they already have all essentials like being able to automatically join friends in multiplayer games, why do they need crap like cards or forums (which are better as a third party administered by people who don’t have a financial incentive to hide complaints).
No matter how much they make their platform similar to Steam, you’ll find another reason not to buy on it, people are still complaining about shit they fixed years ago like not having a cart or achievements.
It’s very funny to see people on Lemmy (of all places) pushing for centralization.
- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 7 months ago:
Maybe if you appreciate the studio and their work you should buy the game where they will make the most profit from the sale.

- Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. 8 months ago:
I’ve had to fuck around with my Windows saves (backed to the cloud) when installing the Linux version of Wasteland 2 and the two Pillars of Eternity games and I eventually just gave up and installed them with Proton so it would download the saves to the right place for them to work.
If you play Deadfire on multiple Linux devices you need to install with Proton compatibility otherwise cloud saves don’t work at all because Steam doesn’t back up the right folder (it uses the Windows folder name which has a lower case o in the word Of), that means that if you wipe your hard drive and rely on cloud saves then you’re fucked because Steam will have created an empty folder to backup.
- Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. 8 months ago:
Only issue you’ll probably have is if the cloud saves are for a different OS, so if you’re playing on Windows make sure it’s the Proton version of the game that’s installed on the Deck, if you’re playing a native Linux version of the game on your PC then make sure it’s the native Linux version that’s installed on the Deck (usual defaults to the Proton version).
