  Then here's hoping they don't make the same mistakes with the Nexus app!

  It seems alright, until you use almost any other mod manager, then you wonder why Vortex is so clunky. It works fine for simple modding, but once you want to adjust load orders its annoying af. The UI is pretty atrocious in places and it takes more clicks than it should to do things. Admittedly I havent used it for a few years, so it might have been updated a lot.

  First time I am hearing of this, I hope it's a lot better than shitty Vortex!

  Which is quite common, kinda crazy it took this long to (maybe) properly support. I might have to try linux again if it's solid now.

  This would be a really cool addition to Steamworks, strange it wasn't made earlier, but late is better than never.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah you are not wrong, but why have a more expensive chip just to throttle it, better to keep the cost of the deck down so more people can afford it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on efficiency, it's all good and well having more performance, but if the battery life is only 2 hours it's useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think the Ally is better in any regard, raw performance doesn't really matter when playing on such small screens anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Deck. The touchpads make way more games playable than the Ally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Steam Families⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, fair enough trade off though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Steam Families⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being able to play game simultaenously is insane news!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but we are well passed that.
  Some games now restrict certain legitimate programs in the name of "anti cheat", which is stepping well over the line. Kernel level AC needs to go aswell. Server side AC and ML is the proper path we should be taking instead of adding attack vectors, privacy invading software to our PCs.
  There's other solutions that can be developed to minimise cheater impact in games, such as trust factor from Valve. We are never going to get rid of cheaters, people are scum, but we can try to minimise their impact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve are very mouth shut about AC, which is for the best. They also have trust factor, which is a rating given to your account based on many factors across Steam, to try and predict if you are trustworthy, so it will match you with other trusted accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally makes no difference, its cat and mouse. Still rampant cheating on Valorant.

  Prevention has proven pointless. In my opinion the best way to combat cheaters is machine learning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think VAC is the best, non-intrusive. It will be interesting to see how it develops with the AI boom now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There's no place for anti-cheat or other restrictions in co-op games. Sea of Thieves is PvPvE though, so anti-cheat does make sense, even if it won't stop cheating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anti-cheats are only small hurdles for cheaters and invasive software for regular consumers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which steam deck⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not saying they will be on sale as they are still very new, but the Steam spring sale is in 4 days, so there is a chance you get a little off. I'd go for the 512GB OLED, but if screen and battery life isn't a problem for you then the LCD version is still perfectly fine. If you plan on using it a lot though, treat yourself to that OLED ;D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valves iFixit partnership is a game changer⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It's great for electronics, but be careful with the bits on non-electronic stuff, they are quite soft and wear easily against stronger screws.
