- Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 4 days ago:
It’s possible that all my games before that were physical copies. But I could have sworn I bought stuff before on steam directly
- Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 4 days ago:
It was 2005, but yes
little fun story is, that I was part of a small mod team back then. And by pure chance we were in contact with someone at valve, who told us about the plans of opening up steam to 3rd party games and mods. And our mod was considered to be put as one of the first games to be put into the store. at least for a short time (alas, didn’t work out for… internal reasons. I think mainly because it was a mod and not a full game)

- Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 4 days ago:
it was the first 3rd party title sold on steam
- Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 4 days ago:
I think that page only tracks 2008 and newer
Because my “first” purchace aparently was in 2009, and by that point my steam account was already in active use for 6 years.
The first game that I used steam for was CS 1.6 - about a week after steam launched.
And I think the first new game I paid money for and added to steam was HL2
- Comment on Steam Frame gets kernel-level CD-ROM support a day after a community member asked for it 4 days ago:
I mean, it’s the linux kernel.
They started out by disabling all the stuff they don’t need. and enabling some modules back in again is literally just a line of config

- Comment on SD hall effect sticks recommendations 3 weeks ago:
I’ve fixed stick drift on a lot my personal controllers just by spraying some plastic-safe electric cleaner spray in around the drifting stick.
well, turns out, it was even easier. a single NES-cartridge-sty blow into the stick-well removed whatever piece of dust was in the sensor
so, if anyone else comes across this at some point: a puff of compressed air might be enough (blowing into it not recommended)

if you are a bit more flexible in the formfactor, you can build a small pc for the budget.
The biggest downside would be the missing HDMI CEC
