  I’ll contrast your opinion by saying they look all terrible. I mean the basketball is funny but who wants to see that every day on their computer.

  Nice! They either heard the feedback or quickly realised themselves how they should do more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost Half of US Data Centers That Were Supposed to Open This Year Slated to Be Canceled or Delayed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, not enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you": Doom's John Romero responds to id Software reportedly losing half their team⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The way I see it this is a guy who hasn’t been relevant in ages is still getting his words amplified about a studio that can’t do anything new since 2010 being shut down by a company that owns too much.

  Truer words have never been spoken, especially the first part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dBrand Companion Cube cancelled:⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Handling with class? They just tried to get away with something that clearly doesn’t work that way. You don’t make a product based on a known franchise without contacting the franchise owner about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is ending the physical Steam Gift Cards at retailers!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t, my wife bought one for me and she does not use Steam. However I don’t think she got a code but instead gave my email address and I got sent the code to use. No idea if there are other options for this though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mina the Hollower is another absolute gem from Yacht Club Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I think people put far too much thought into earning achievements to the point that they just stop being able to enjoy the experience for what it is - a video game.

  I am not an achievement hunter myself but calling out others for liking to collect achievements but not being able to because the game devs somehow don’t deem it hardcore enough, isn’t ok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Deck OLED's price hikes have killed its status as the best deal in PC games hardware⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is unnecessarily inflammatory focusing on the Steamdeck. Did Valve increase price out of nowhere? I am guessing not. Did they on purpose delay their Steam machine launch date? Again, I guess not.

  We all know the elephant in the room for this, which will also cause pretty much all PC hardware prices to go up. By the time that happens the Steam deck will probably be again a good deal, since just everything goes up in price right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Daaaaaamn. If I didn’t have one already, I would not consider buying it at that price anymore. And I got the cheaper 512 gb model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get notified about Steam Hardware news the instant it's announced...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to NewRandomYouTubeGamerX64_L33tSauce’s intriguing publications and productions, might I ask for a link, dear sir?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lego 2K Drive is being delisted in a matter of days despite only being a few years old - grab it before it's bricked over⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather pirate it then. Why is it being shut down? Just to save on operating costs of the servers?

  NOTE: All multiplayer servers for LEGO 2K Drive will be shutdown as of 05/31/2027. After that time, all game functions requiring online servers will no longer function.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you use Emudeck to play Wii U games, you may have malware⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, I missed the tilda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you use Emudeck to play Wii U games, you may have malware⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The following files and directories may be created by the malware:

  /tmp/.transformers /usr/bin/pgmonitor.py ~/.local/bin/pgmonitor.py /etc/systemd/system/pgsql-monitor.service ~/.config/systemd/user/pgsql-monitor.service /tmp/kubectl The absence of these files does not prove that you are safe.

  Wouldn’t the Steamdecks immutability prevent changes to the filesystem in these folders? After rebooting at least.
