Cold day in hell i ever subscribe to that shit.



I’m looking at my AM4 system with Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and RX7900 XT and thinking it’ll be 4 years. Actually, to be honest it might be the last PC i build, my great hope is Steamdeck and Steamframes have a baby and i won’t need a big box under my desk anymore.


Just give it a week and they’ll be back in stock.


AI Overview Garry Newman, creator of Garry’s Mod and Rust, has expressed significant frustration with Linux support, stating in 2016 that if he could do it again, he would have never supported it. His issues stemmed from receiving high volumes of bug reports and “abusive” feedback from Linux users, leading to a difficult relationship with the Linux community.

Regret over Support: Newman has indicated that supporting Linux was not worth the trouble, citing the small user base compared to the maintenance required.
Rust & Anti-Cheat: Rust does not officially support Linux, partially due to issues with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) compatibility on the platform, although he has worked on bringing it to platforms like Steam Deck.
User Feedback: The decision to deprioritize Linux caused tension, with some users calling his reactions as unprofessional, while others complained about the quality of the Linux port. 

While his comments from around 2016 were quite harsh, they were often framed within the context of the high cost of supporting a small user base for his specific games.


This is Garry, he’s a dick towards linux, fucking hates it. I wouldn’t use his software anyway, fuck that guy.


I think the market is kind of stagnant, the Steam Controller should help shake that up a bit hopefully. I’m looking forward to getting 2 of them myself.



The fall of the dungeon guardians has an mmo feel. Dungeon crawler rpg, grid based movement.


Yup, i use Prism launcher or Atlauncher and play a number of modpacks mostly older versions. It’s no biggie.


It’s always about the next bubble to grift.


It isn’t fair that their store is vastly superior to mine and don’t pay developers to use it exclusively like we do! - little timmy wah wah boo hoo



I just hope Steam frames aren’t too pricey, desperately don’t want them to fail.


There is the Steamdeck OLED still, Steam Machine and Steamframes on the way early 2026. Also there is enough used machines in the second hand marketplace to tide everyone else over until the AI bubble pops.


This looks petty awesome, right up my alley.


Yeah they said they are pricing the Steam Machine at PC market prices, but they do having to contend with reality. There are consoles on the market that are more powerful at a lower price point, it will dampen their sales for sure. I mean most pcgamers probably have more powerful hardware already, what is the incentive? Sure small form factor, but is it worth a premium price to the average pcgamer? Console peasants will turn their noses up at it, so who are they marketing to?

I can see the Steam Frames selling better due to it being a fully untethered VRPC headset that can play more than just VR games. Not to mention you can stream from a more powerful PC to the frames making the battery last much longer and better gfx fidelity.

The Steam Controller has to contend with a flooded market of users used to using one type of controller, so a little bit of an uphill battle there too.


Turns out if you invest in making your platform not suck it ends up paying dividends. Figure it out dumbfucks.



The problem with VR is the quality of games are quite substandard. We know they were capable of much more considering HL:Alex, but the industry decided they would output only half-assed shit quality phone games. Also whatever vr controller replacement they come up with, don’t use low quality dog shit potentiometers ffs.



I still have 2 and use them daily. Definitely want a controller based on Steam Deck layout.


I love my Steam Decks (LCD & OLED), and as far as handhelds, won’t buy any more until SD2. I’d much rather see the Deckard released before SD2 to be honest, though my Index headset might be fine, the controllers are kind of fubar. I’ll support Linux hardware over anything Microsoft, or closed platforms.


This looks pretty good. Hope the game-play lives up to its looks.


Omg i hate choice in the marketplace, gimme good old fashioned monopoly any day. /s


People leave one shit hole corporate dystopia for another and think things are going to change.



I’ve played it. Artwork is beautiful, but controls are wonky, hard to get used to on PC, and the gameplay unnecessarily punishing. It doesn’t feel good to play.


Maybe they should take the feedback from reviews and incorporate that into their updates. It’s not just that you are being review bombed by unreasonable people, it’s that people feel the game has problems that aren’t being addressed. I agree it is difficult to recover from a bad release because first impressions are everything. Companies can recover and have, take No Man’s Sky for an example.


I was able to play the introduction but as soon as it tries to log onto the server i get a BattleEye didn’t load properly restart client. Ohwell, maybe they’ll enable it one day for linux users, until then refund requested.


Glad i already built a system and don’t have to worry for a few years about upgrades unless something breaks. Also i’m Canadian so our tariff dispositions may be different.


Oops corrected. Also i’m on linux, so haven’t noticed or cared about Windows issues. Don’t play games with anti-cheat either.


GTA VI isn’t being released on PC until probably a year after console. I don’t own any xbox or other locked down platform, so don’t pay attention to it, so you definitely have a chance to make a sale to those like me who don’t pay attention to console releases.


I didn’t like the game, not my kind of play. Glad others love it though.


I fully believe they are working on the game, whether it gets released when the rumor says, i’ll believe it when it happens. Not worried though, just as long as i get to play it before i die, that will be just fine.


I have a Valve Index and the only way i buy a new headset is with Valve Deckard (or whatever name they chose for their next generation vr). If it never materializes, VR is dead to me because I have zero interest in non linux solutions.


I like the remaster, it plays much better than the original of course. The graphics at first were really sluggish/choppy, but i found disabling the steam overlay fixed it for me.


Yeah it’s called “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered” after all.


Glad i’m not in the market, have a couple decent gaming pc’s, which should be good for another 3 or 4 years. Not to mention 2 Steam Decks.
