  This is cool. It needs a lot of polish though. I hope it does well.

  I only game on my steamdeck now. And it has practically zero security on it. Admin has no password. When I realized that I then came to the conclusion that Steam doesn’t give a fuck about security.

  I tried setting an admin password on it and it broke everything. So it’s in a penalty box on my network and can’t access anything except the outside internet and I do nothing with it but game.

  Yeah I was just using proton as an example of a translation layer that made the steamdeck possible. RISC-V would be great. The Steamdeck adopting it would also push far more development and refinement in the Linux kernal for that architecture too.

  It’s been 5 years now since Apple moved to ARM. I think that had a big enough impact on the market to start compiling ARM binaries. Those toolchains are much more common now and I think once Steam makes the plunge, you’ll see a ton of games target it directly. As shitty as Apple’s decisions are sometimes, you definitely see them force the markets to move like when they removed the headphone jack.

  I don’t think they’ll release a new one until they make the leap to an ARM processor like Apple did when leaving x86 behind. But that means they’ll have to make x86 emulator that doesn’t torch the battery. As it is, Proton was an enormous undertaking and it has resulted in a fantastic product. I believe they call pull it off again and we’ll get 20 hours of battery life with better performance.

  But that’ll take a few years. I’m in no rush to spend another $600+.

  Dipshit. Just do bad coding and leave timebombs that could be considered an accident.

  AGI is gonna happen any minute now. Just like Tesla’s full self driving.

  I mean - eventually they will. But how long can the CEOs hold off waiting for it?

  That game was fun up until you get to the point where it is pay to win. I got about a week of enjoyment out of it then immediately deleted it from my phone once I hit that point. Glad it’s dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Net.Attack() is a very unique take on survivor-like roguelikes with programming your abilities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm… could be either a fun take or a one trick pony.

  I like roguelikes where you have to make difficult choices while only an inch from death. Vampire survivors was a bit too brainless for me to consider it a roguelike and that’s what they compare this against.
