- Comment on When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it" 3 weeks ago:
I love this so much. It reminds me of how AMD Threadripper came to be.
Apparently Threadripper was a skunkworks project by some of the engineers at AMD that they worked on in their spare time. They wanted to see if they could basically slap together a bunch of normal CPU dyes into on mega chip with a high speed/bandwidth interposer connecting them together.
It was almost abandoned and they had to fight to get it taken seriously. But it proved to be a viable product, and singlehandedly was responsible for decimating what was left of Intel’s place in the HEDT market so badly, that after several years of failed attempts to keep up, Intel officially announced that they wouldn’t be competing in that space anymore.
It’s such a cool thing when talented and passionate people come together without having to be subject to strict marketability and just try to create something awesome and revolutionary.
The Steam Deck kicked off an entire new market for handheld gaming devices that had real power to play modern PC games. And despite a bunch of competing and copycat products, the Steam Deck is still king.
I love mine, have close to 200 hours on it, which for me is a ton. I’ve barely gamed on my main PC in the last year, it’s just so much more comfortable to play on the couch or in my bed.

Try using Tailscale, it’s an overlay network that acts similar to Hamachi. It’s totally free for up to three users and you can just use your Minecraft Microsoft email to sign up.
It works on all platforms and is fast, easy, and secure. And you don’t need to do anything sketchy with your router like opening ports.

- Comment on Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app 4 months ago:
Yeah, I have a friend who was very interested in switching to Linux on his gaming computer.
His game of choice is Arma 3, which I play and runs great on Linux. But then he asked me, “what about mods?” He plays Arma with a massive amount of mods, and not just Steam workshop ones, all kinds.
I tried to replicate all his mods on my installation as a proof of concept, but after over 2 hours, it still didn’t work.
Having really solid and easy modding would be awesome.
