• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are concerned by fascism, I recommend calling your representatives and even writing letters to them.

  In the case above, a sensible well written letter sent by an individual that was put in power to defend the interests of the American people is not fascism.

  It’s important to understand what Fascism looks like. Such as every billionaire bending the knee when a politician gains power, or what we see with Musk in an invented cabinet position. The merger of government and corporate powers which will directly hurt the interests of the people in a state.

  As long as we can never fully understand when or how it will turn red, and sometimes when you wrap it in towels it stops being red, I’m all for it.

  Proton is the gateway drug to us getting more Linux native games. In due time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo shuts down Ryujinx⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably for the same reason Nintendo shuttered the stores for 3DS and Wii U over the last year. They are attempting to consolidate infrastructure, support, user base, and sales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo shuts down Ryujinx⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is likely due to age and popularity. At this point PCSX2 is the only widely popular emulator you’ve listed, but is older, in the same way Dolphin is old and less of a concern of harming their limelight. That isn’t to say those other emulators aren’t making waves lately, but there is a window between age and popularity that makes this software a prime target. Especially emulators for current gen, which has been historically very rare, and when it did exist were no where near as good as CEMU, Yuzu, and Ryujinx were.

  In my experience they are held accountable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Working With Rockstar to Fix GTA Online on Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree w/ the sentiment but I haven’t heard of a dev that isn’t lit on fire from every direction at most of these companies.

  It’s usually non-devs who require the encouragement. Although perhaps you meant developer more generally?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] SteamOS 3.6 is nearly here, with Valve focusing on bug fixes before release. What are some bugs you've encountered (on either Stable or Beta) that you're hoping to see fixed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have these exact same issues, never heard of someone else experiencing them.

  I’d say the Bluetooth issues, and the inability for me to turn the steam deck on when docked at a distance (without extras) are my biggest pet peeves right now. Otherwise I’m a happy camper.

  The Home + A is annoying, but I usually get it after a few attempts.
