- Comment on Rumor: Kepler Tells Gamers To "Get Ready For The First <$1000 Console" 2 hours ago:
A lot of people have been recommending Bazzite recently. It’s like SteamOS in a lot of ways and focused heavily on gaming.
SteamOS is unofficially available as well now but you’ll run into issues if you have Nvidia GPU like me.
I’ve heard Pop!_os being good for gaming too, and while I’ve used it, I didn’t use it for gaming.
This site has 11 that it recommends for gaming focused distros itsfoss.com/linux-gaming-distributions/
- Comment on Borderlands 4 won't be "making jokes every minute", because it's set in a totalitarian world 5 hours ago:
Because the game franchise itself is now the joke.
- Comment on Rumor: Kepler Tells Gamers To "Get Ready For The First <$1000 Console" 5 hours ago:
Welcome to PC gaming, console players.
Only with more steps in between.
That price point might as well just get you to buy a prebuilt or save money and buy the parts individually and build it yourself. Throw on a free Linux distro that gives you that console feel.
- Comment on Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
I wondered about this. Would they be in violation if these were mods made by them that they received no additional payment for? Does it matter if it’s released officially or by individual accounts of the devs?
Thankfully Nintendo can’t do shit about every day modders.
- Comment on Palworld's newest patch stops you from gliding with your Pals, and yes, it is because of Nintendo's lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
Here’s one of the more famous ones people know of …wikipedia.org/…/Universal_City_Studios,_Inc._v._….
To summarize, Nintendo was getting sued by Universal Studios because of Donkey Kong’s likeness to King Kong, name and the fact h they’re both gorillas.
Ironically, Nintendo chose Universal to make the recent Super Mario movie.
- Comment on Palworld's newest patch stops you from gliding with your Pals, and yes, it is because of Nintendo's lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
As if I needed more reasons not to like Nintendo.
Truly turned into the bad guys they had to fight against in their early days in the video game industry over frivolous lawsuits.
- Comment on Minecraft’s VR support is now gone 1 month ago:
I liked playing in VR from time to time. Why remove it? I don’t get that. I can understand not including new features for it, but why remove it from the game?
- Comment on Mesa NVK (NVIDIA Vulkan driver) now Vulkan 1.4 conformant on Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta GPUs 1 month ago:
That’s a sweet looking GPU
- Comment on Tencent hand Ubisoft a big wad of cash to spin out Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six as a separate business 2 months ago:
Welp, guess there goes any chances of a single player Rainbow Six. Corporate greed won’t want to lose all these mindless idiots willing to keep putting money in a 10 year old multiplayer game.
I hope I’m wrong. Was so excited for Patriots before they scrapped it for this abomination over a decade ago.
- Comment on Steam hits a another all-time user record with over 40 million online 3 months ago:
What’s better is requiring games to not be tied to any launcher. There shouldn’t be a need for a game to be constantly connected to the internet and need a secondary app running in the background.
But with the way it is now, I loathe the other launchers besides Steam. Steam actually provides some value and not completely unnecessary bloatware. Steam has my friends on it and has meaningful ways for me to engage my friends inside and outside of games. Steam has dedicated forums and mod queues built right into it. Steam has a great refund policy, including games that go back on their unwritten and written promises months or years after release (think Helldivers 2).
Whereas the other launchers are just cheap knockoffs for the sole purpose of corporate branding and to escape the Valve tax (which I can understand is a bit much to charge 30% just to be on Steam) that don’t work nearly as well and haven’t for many years, with ugly redesigns being the biggest changes they’ve made since their original releases. It’s coincidental how EA and Ubisoft look exactly the same in their newest redesigns and theirs plus Epic’s all have that same annoying bug that doesn’t actually remember your username and password and will require you to verify even though you checked the box to remember this PC.
Either way, I wish I didn’t need any launcher, including Steam, to launch games I paid for. It’s comical I can have that experience by pirating the game and the company generates no money from me and I get exactly what I wanted.
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 3 months ago:
More than that, they don’t lock it down to apps coming from Steam. In a Steam Deck, you can get the app from anywhere, even pirating, if you wish, and it works with Proton.
And the Steam Deck runs games that didn’t have to come from Steam.
Valve is legitimately doing things for the customer, even if they aren’t always a customer of Valve.
- Comment on EA re-release The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 on PC as DLC-stuffed Legacy editions 4 months ago:
I wish we could get this for the Sims 3. I still play that over 4 sometimes as it had more content and better quality in some areas. Love the bigger neighborhood aspect, for sure.
- Comment on Ubisoft lay off another 185 people and shutter one of the studios behind Star Wars: Outlaws and The Division 2 4 months ago:
Ubisoft deserves every bit of this.
Sucks for those people losing their jobs, though.
Ubisoft has been shooting themselves in the foot at every turn they make and making no intention on going back on any of it. Good riddance, Ubisoft. You used to be a company I looked forward to releasing a new game.
- Comment on GDC 2025 survey shows PC game development growing with lots interested in Valve's Steam Deck 4 months ago:
All according to Valve’s plan. No doubt they sell the Deck at a loss because the price is phenomenal for today’s hardware prices on what this can do.
But they’re definitely making up for it in Steam sales and continued market dominance. Not like they needed the latter since the competition is dogshit with even GOG lacking since they have no official Linux support.
- Comment on Facial recognition: App lets police identify suspects in street 5 months ago:
I’m sure those cops will never ever use that technology for anything nefarious like stalking or harassing. Nope, not a chance.
- Comment on Steam is adding a new default option for game updates 5 months ago:
Absolutely correct on that one too. Again with Rockstar and breaking GTA V mods again. Despite the fact I never touch online multiplayer ever.
Why the fuck does this game absolutely need to update which only ever just breaks my modding experience???
- Comment on Steam is adding a new default option for game updates 5 months ago:
I wish we could disable updates entirely for some games we choose. It’s extremely unfair for a company like Rockstar to replace a game like the original GTA games with the horrible “remastered” versions nobody wanted or forcing users to now install and use a secondary launcher that wasn’t there when they bought the game in the first place.
- Comment on Microsoft closes the door on Windows 11 supporting older hardware 6 months ago:
It’s funny that Microsoft and similar companies will talk about how they’re environmentally conscious and then pull shit like this lol
- Comment on Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core teaser trailer has me excited for more rock and stone 6 months ago:
I am so glad to have stumbled across this game on Steam and glad to hear of this new entry. Sounds like a great addition to the series!
- Comment on Microsoft built a PC that can't run local apps — Windows 365 Link starts at $349 and doesn't come with storage 6 months ago:
“Wow, this is worthless!” And expensive.
Can currently buy a $150 laptop that can actually do things offline. Fucking $349 for a piece of junk that can only do something when connected to the internet and with a paid subscription is utterly pointless besides fixing the artificial problem of new version updates, i.e. Windows 11 > Windows 12.
- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 7 months ago:
It’s really crafty and nasty. And it also allows users to go through the process without requiring admin access.
We needed to stay on Windows 10 for a few reasons at work. I had a few users tell me this or that broke and they could no longer use this function. Remoted on and found the computer was somehow updated to Windows 11. Users swore it was not their doing. I know what happened; it’s an update screen that has a decline at the very bottom corner far from the button to allow the update to proceed that most users don’t see so they are being intentionally misled by Microsoft to think they have no choice but to accept the update. And worse is that none of these users were admins. So what the fuck, Microsoft?!
It’s so infuriating and disgusting.
Thankfully we can now move to Windows 11 without issue, but that was a really frustrating time to be an admin and Microsoft deserves every bad thing that comes of users getting upset over this. Hopefully lawsuits to lose some money over it.
- Comment on Sony is trying to patent a 'universal' rewind button that could fix your worst gaming catastrophes 7 months ago:
So Recall for PlayStation?
- Comment on HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December 7 months ago:
Yeah the article says they don’t mention anything about rumble and the same for the older article when this was announced for Japan’s release. The Amazon page seems to indicate the same that no rumble feature exists.
Such a weird choice to make.
- Comment on HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December 7 months ago:
I’m stoked. But sad it doesn’t have vibration. I wonder why they did that.
Does it have Hall effect sticks? I’m not seeing any information on that.
- Comment on How Rumble went from a family-friendly Canadian startup to a megaphone for U.S. election deniers. 7 months ago:
Damn, I thought those people moved on from 2016 already. Gotta give it up and accept that Clinton lost 2016 fair and square already!
- Comment on Microsoft closing Arkane Austin was “stupid”, says founder: recreating “a very special group” like that would be “impossible” 7 months ago:
It’s a fantastic game. I haven’t finished it, but it was a really interesting atmosphere and I loved the horror game mechanics combined with that Bethesda feel it had. Felt in between Fallout 4 and Starfield with good components taken from each.
- Comment on Luma Island devs spent an 'enormous amount of effort' to make it smooth on Steam Deck 7 months ago:
This sounds amazing. I’m just now hearing about this game and hearing it’s made with the Steam Deck in mind is an added bonus.
They know their audience because this is going to be very popular with people on the go and wanting something on the Deck.
- Comment on Streaming subscription fees have been rising while content quality is dropping 7 months ago:
That’s pretty much every industry as of recent. Fast food and theme parks and other subscription-based services are much the same.
It would me easier to name off subscription B services that haven’t increased prices, and the only ones that come to mind are VPN service providers like Mullvad.
- Comment on YouTube is testing its cheaper Premium Lite subscription again, but it now has limited ads 7 months ago:
Oh yay! I get to pay for the privilege of having ads…
What I hate more is that there are idiots who will pay for this too.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Mirage arrives on Steam as Ubisoft return to Valve's store 7 months ago:
But still requiring that piece of shit, knock off launcher “Ubisoft Connect”, so this means nothing.
Only benefit to users is better customer service and refund practices through Valve and integration with Steam community. Other than that, fucking useless if you’re still requiring users to download and install that shitty launcher, Ubisoft.
