You meant “chocolate cigarette” for your analogy, I remember they used to exists when I was a kid, don’t know if they still do.

But poker is only a gambling game because when you play it you “give up” something of value in the hope of winning more through playing and randomness. What makes it gambling is not the cards or the chips it’s the gambling aspect. Balatro uses card and poker hands, and so does “yatzhee”, but it does not use any gambling mechanic. Lootboxes on the other hand use gambling mechanic.

I got rid of my dual boot arch/windows, and installed single boot draugerOS this week end.

Proton for the win. (dows)

This looks awesome, I’m eager to play it.

I spend too much time on lemmy: I immediately assumed your comment was a meta-joke about lemmy, since every post about a software has a comment about its foss analogue. But now I’m unsure whether you were serious or not. Anyway it made me lol.

Palworld sucked me in, I’m playing with my partner, we had a lot of fun, now it’s getting a little stale, we will probably wait for full release to pick it up again.

Might be… the article is really unclear, but I really don’t think it is, they already factored in 42million in charges from the 49m… There something I don’t understand with this.

I don’t understand, the article says of the 7 million after break-even they only got 567, who got the rest of the money ? Where did it go ?

And even then, hundreds of people recieved a salary for a few years, is it not pretty good already ? To be able to sustain all these people ?

Ho right, got it

I also get the perf overlay showing getting stuck there sometimes, it is really annoying.

Don’t understand what you mean about the charging cable that should be detachable ? I charge my deck via usb-c so the cable is detachable, is it not what you use ? Or did you mean something else ?

The main reason I love the steam deck, is that it can theoretically run almost any games, I hate platform exclusives, with the deck I can emulate most console, including the switch

Really?? that’s interesting (and surprising for me), I guess I must be really bad with the trackpad as a mouse or something, also it says to click on “y” instead of “r2” to click which I thought was really impractical. Then I didn’t try the hardest to make it usable for me, after a couple minutes I just said “fuck it, I can’t play like that” and played something else.

I think you are right. I guess I should have been clearer to convey what I meant.

We agree. That’s exactly what I said in my first comment, factorio is “technically playable”. I never said anything about games not “working”.

You can plug kb, mouse and also plug-in a bigger screen on the deck, but that’s not what people instinctively think about when they hear “great on deck”

I didn’t mean they should compare it with other platform, I’m saying some games that are great on other platform are difficult to play on the deck, often when the mouse is required for the game it’s very hard to play it on the deck. For exemple: Papers please is an awesome game that is marked “great on deck” I encourage you to try playing it on the deck, I tried and it was very hard to play, maybe you can play it putting the deck on a table and using the touchscreen, but I don’t think people are happy playing on the deck using only the touchscreen, and even then I’m not sure that particular game (which again I love on pc) is particularly good on the deck.

I’d like to add that Iown a deck, I play daily on it, and I love it, I feel like people are gatekeeping because I dared say something not 100% positive about steam.

Factorio for exemple is marked “great on deck” I tried to play it, it’s honestly unplayable, I love the game, I love the steam deck, but that game is not “great on the steam deck”. And it is not the only game in this category.

That’s true, I played many games that were great on the deck but marked as unverified. But that’s exactly my point you can’t really know how many games are actualy playable. When on the deck there is a tab called “great on deck” with games suposedly great to be played on the deck, but in reality these are games that theoretically works… They don’t test for the quality of the experience of playing them on the deck as oposed to another platform.

That’s great, but to be fair some of them are “technically playable” but a real pain in the ass to play on the steam deck. The definition of “playable” is really not what you’d expect.

EDIT: I don’t understand why I’m getting downvoted so much… I own a steam deck and love it, and my comment is on topic… I’m literally the only top comment on the thread, are you guys trying to incentivize people not to engage on lemmy’s post ?

There are many build that works, you found one good, I recommend trying other combinations

I’m excited to play it, it looks gorgeous.
