Probably installed through Steam, not Windows.

He’s the only major shareholder
- Comment on Steam Machine Reservations Should All Clear This Year - FullCleared 5 days ago:
tl;dr “We expect everyone in the reservation queue will have the option to purchase by the end of this year.”
- Comment on "I didn’t fully appreciate the scope of it": a year on from taking over, Nexus Mods owners reflect on the challenges of their push to minimise modding hassle 5 days ago:
The thing that suggests this was their corporate buyout by a “growth/strategy-focused gaming company” called Chosen, over a year ago.
- Comment on SEGA has no plans to abandon physical media and still sees a lot of value in it 1 week ago:
They’re still making Dreamcast games!?

404 really poking the bear…
- Comment on 007 First Light has Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM removed 1 week ago:
I can’t even pirate normal games on Windows, much less on Linux with a hypervisor.
- Comment on Disgaea Creator Says PlayStation Should “Get Rid of the Hardware” If It Abandons Physical Games 1 week ago:
A television would be enough. Why would you need the console?
…what kind of TV is this person buying?
- Comment on Meta is testing an AI bedtime story app for people with no imagination 1 week ago:
I don’t understand. You could spend an entire lifetime reading existing bedtime stories from your local library. There’s absolutely no reason to demolish the planet and the economy in pursuit of some sort of shitty replacement.
- Comment on Steam Machine is currently selling an estimated 12k–15k units per week, based on its strong position on Steam's Global Top Sellers chart. 2 weeks ago:
Good for the future of Steam hardware.
- Comment on How to resolution issues? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, autocorrect. Thanks.
- Comment on How to resolution issues? 2 weeks ago:
Issue #1: The performance overlay is too small. I haven’t figured out which of the scaling options affect it (if any)
There isn’t any.
Issue #2: Some games have it hidden when they detect they’re running on a “Steam Deck”.
Add ‘Steam Deck=0 %command%’ to launch options
Issue #3: Proton.
It just uses the latest Proton available for all games, I believe.
- Comment on The Steam Machine calls itself steamdeck in my network 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know what they check but my Bazzite desktop is often detected as a Steam Deck, which is infuriating because they apply all the wrong settings, and will even remove others until you reboot the game with ‘steamdeck=0’ and it doesn’t even give you any indication that it’s happening.
- Comment on Google and Epic give up fighting — third-party Android app stores are coming next week 2 weeks ago:
If the Steam app lets users buy games that they can then play on Android through FEX, does that violate the ToS?
- Comment on The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents 2 weeks ago:
I guess it’s too much to ask for parental controls to actually function properly without significantly impairing students’ ability to learn.
- Comment on The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents 3 weeks ago:
students engaged in off-task activities on their computers nearly two-thirds of the time.
So it sounds like the problem isn’t the computers, it’s kids using the computers to fuck off and being distracted.
Do these not come with any sort of parental controls?
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
What does that even mean?
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
You said non-humanoid is a broad description like it’s a negative.
No, I said it like it’s a meaningless phrase.
Fixating on making the robot humanoid unnecessarily narrows it down.
Its not a fixation. Its simple logic that I’ve already explained. Everything we own is designed to be used by humans, so creating a humanoid robot makes them extremely versatile.
Form and function are by definition not the same
That’s not correct at all. Function is very largely tied to form, especially in the case of robotics.
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
Yes that’s the whole point
…what? Is your point?
I dont care about form, I care about function
They are largely the same in this case.
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
“Non-humanoids” is an incredibly broad description. For example, a Roomba can’t empty your dishwasher. But a humanoid robot can use your existing human vacuum to clean the floors.
- Comment on Meta admits its first ‘superintelligence’ was too stupid to survive for three days 3 weeks ago:
companies making it always do so in the most abusive, hostile way possible so everyone rejects it immediately as another Big Tech trap
Yes, everyone rejects Big Tech, that’s why the companies are so small.
Apple’s “Apple Vision Pro” vision was actually a reasonable assortment of reasonable ideas
Disagree. It failed for the same reason every headset before it did. The entire concept is fundamentally flawed. No one wants to wear a goofy fucking facemask all day. And I think it’s pretty apparent from their advertising that that’s exactly what they expected people to do.
Meta expected companies to hold business meetings in VR. Why would anyone do that? What’s the point?
Valve certainly understood the assignment by making it a “streaming-first headset” designed primarily to be connected wirelessly to a PC. This just made it way smaller and lighter.
They were also brilliant in developing and implementing FEX so that you can running any X86 Windows game on an ARM Linux headset.
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
Strip the cybercab of all its shitty tech and they could absolutely sell it for $20k.
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
Because a humanoid robot can theoretically do all the things humans can do, using appliances designed for humans to operate.
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
How much do you charge for fucking vs. chores?
- Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year. 3 weeks ago:
I mean they demoed this thing not that long ago and it was a disaster. So yeah, my expectations are low.
- Comment on Meta admits its first ‘superintelligence’ was too stupid to survive for three days 3 weeks ago:
VR is a dead end outside of gaming and porn. I don’t know why so many tech companies are obsessed with making it into something more.
- Comment on Meta admits its first ‘superintelligence’ was too stupid to survive for three days 3 weeks ago:
“Earlier this week, we announced that one way for people to generate images in Meta AI is by @-mentioning public Instagram accounts that they want to reference,” the company wrote. “Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way. We’ve heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so it’s no longer available.”
Who could have seen this coming?

Should work just fine without any work. Just plop it in.

Now if only there was a Frame…
- Comment on Helldivers 2 is getting a new anti-cheater policy to stop you feeling bummed out and help the in-game economy 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I couldn’t give a single shit if someone else is “cheating” somehow. Arrowhead, on the other hand, probably does, as it affects their bottom line.
