- Comment on X terminates European Commission's ad account after €120 million fine 2 days ago:
And if this is a known exploit, why not fix it?
- Comment on Beyond Steam Machine: Why Valve's New ARM Support Shouldn't Be Overlooked 1 week ago:
That approach uses virtual machines. While that is possible (otherwise we wouldn’t see it), it is probably not really optimized for gaming.
Wine / Proton / Box64 (already used for gaming on android) is using translation layers, not a full virtual machine.
- Comment on Beyond Steam Machine: Why Valve's New ARM Support Shouldn't Be Overlooked 1 week ago:
It is, but my assumption is that ARM-based linux and ARM-based android require a different codebase.
I’m not a dev though, maybe I’m wrong and it’s easier than I thought.
- Comment on Beyond Steam Machine: Why Valve's New ARM Support Shouldn't Be Overlooked 1 week ago:
I’d imagine that once the mobile walled garden ecosystems are fully opened up, we should look for the debut of Android and iOS Steam clients. Let’s see how that pans out in 2026…
That seems a bit too optimistic IMO. While it is possible to run PC games on a phone, a fully functional Steam client would still be quite a surprise.
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement - (This is wild) 3 weeks ago:
It‘s a 6-core CPU, with a 35 watt TDP. It will not be able to compete with a 7900X with 12 cores and a 5 times higher TDP - and not with a 7600X with 8 cores and 105W TDP.
Still, that’s absolutely fine for gaming.
- Comment on Steam Machine 3 weeks ago:
It will run on Steam OS like the steam deck is.
If you have troubles with its protections (like the non-writeable system partition), you can just disable them.
- Comment on Steam Deck - Display-Off Downloads - Steam News 5 weeks ago:
That’s the default, if I understood this correctly. But I haven’t tried it yet.
- Comment on The cute co-op game LEGO Voyagers has released and it's Steam Deck Verified 2 months ago:
Thanks, I’ve put it on my wishlist! I really like that you can’t “die” ingame, your block just reappears when it falls down somewhere.
Looks like a fun game to play with my son.
- Comment on STEAM FRAME - Valve Corporation Trademark Registration 2 months ago:
Does anybody have an idea what this could be?
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - August 2025 4 months ago:
Descenders. Than fun bicycle game was just on sale for 5 bucks and offers plenty of content.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 6 months ago:
Battery life doubled in some games? Now that is even more impressive than 10-20% performance gain.
- Comment on Here's the most played Steam Deck games for April 2025, Balatro still top but Oblivion Remastered sneaks in second 7 months ago:
The nice thing about the Steam Deck is that you can play just about anything you want. If you love categories of games that are not in the Top 10, feel free to enjoy them.
- Comment on Here's the most played Steam Deck games for April 2025, Balatro still top but Oblivion Remastered sneaks in second 7 months ago:
Steam Deck players seem to love single-player RPGs :)
- Comment on Lenovo - Legion Go S with Valve's SteamOS gets a price increase at Best Buy 7 months ago:
A weaker dollar is also a likely reason that is not mentioned in the article.
- Comment on Steam deck OLED 1TB or Asus ROG Ally X with Bazzite? 8 months ago:
It seems like you answered your own question: go with the steam deck.
- Comment on [Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck? 8 months ago:
I bought Station to Station, a nice peaceful train simulation game.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 10 months ago:
This device is basically a windows tablet with detatchable controllers. This will probably me more portable than if the controllers were always connected.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 10 months ago:
ipad mini is 9 inch, this device is 11 inch
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 10 months ago:
Thats both true and not really relevant, considering the iPad’s game library.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 10 months ago:
A couchheld?
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 10 months ago:
I don’t think 11 inch is absurdely big. That’s the screen size of the current iPad air.
- Comment on There is no AMD Z2 Steam Deck model coming - Valve 11 months ago:
I think we are spoiled by hardware manufactureres that release new stuff at least twice a year.
- Comment on EmuDeck Officially Adds PS4 Emulation Support With ShadPS4 11 months ago:
Has anyone tried it yet? I can’t imagine that the Steam Deck has the required performance to emulate the PS4.
- Comment on You guys scoping out any good deals? 11 months ago:
Thank you. My boy is six, and many games are still too hard for him. Goot that there is a sandbox mode, maybe we’ll try it out
- Comment on You guys scoping out any good deals? 11 months ago:
What age is your son?
- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 1 year ago:
Thanks for checking. I didn’t find any other recent news on this topic and the original article is from yesterday.
- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 1 year ago:
Why shouldn’t they be able to pay apple and mozilla to select google as their default search engine? Will this also be prohibited?
- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 1 year ago:
Is this case decided yet? If I understood the news correctly, they plan to force Google to sell its web browser.
- Comment on Xbox boss confirms a handheld console is in the works 1 year ago:
It would make more sense for microsoft to partner with some hardware vendor and release a modified version of windows 11. With a nice mobile-optimized GUI, integration for the most popular game stores and an optional desktop mode.
- Comment on Xbox boss confirms a handheld console is in the works 1 year ago:
If Microsoft really wants to get in the mobile gaming sector, why don’t they even have a working protoype to show? The article claims that it is still “a few years away” at this point.
Doesn’t sound like they really have high ambitions.
