What I’m really waiting for is a Steam box that I can hook up to my TV.

You can already do that though??? You just need a dock.

I sometimes connect Deck to TV via dock and play using Xbox controller.

Yes, it’s called Windows 7.

Juyzt sprynkle some 'y’s and 'z’s whyle talking wyth them.

nuke Europe

it’s more satisfying

Putin???

Like this guy on r*ddit?:

For everyone having this issue, try plugging in the deck to dock with only the HDMI plugged in and no power cable. This worked for my TCL TV. Once the screen screen shows on the TV, you can plug the power cable back in and it should still work

What problems

Yeah, the petulant children get angry because they lose their exclusivity

SFF PCs be like:

Alternatively Steam Dock be like:

I just think it’d be neat to have a gaming Linux distro, made by a company that distributes games. Maybe it will be a standard distro for game developers to test their games.

I want SteamOS on desktop 😅

I myself get bored of the games quickly, imo. I guess when I feel like devs are ‘cheating’ I lose interest.

Some examples:

Batman Arkham Asylum: Gave up I got to Killer Croc level. Didn’t like how the stealth/action game turned into precision platformer.

Batman Arkham City: Stopped at Mr. Freeze level. I looked up how to beat him and turns out I had to follow specific moves to defeat him. Ain’t got time for that tbh.

Spider-man: Stopped at Rhino + Scorpion level. Again with getting Rhino to headbutt a wall, under heavy load to drop it on him to stun him and beat him up? Bye.

Life Goes On: Gave up on a level where timing was crucial. Until that point I focused on steps to solve the puzzle but at this stage, even though I knew what to do, timing was too important and I haven’t got those reflexes or patience to replay the level again and again.

anyone have recommendations for flying games that were mae for dip shit likee lik m

Ace Combat?

Why do mods hate Hindus???

Not all democrats are progressives. It’s a big tent party.

Korrekt!

Would you rather have no half life game come out?

Yeah. Not like I’m gonna play it.

Their ‘innovation’ went from innovation in programming and gameplay mechanics to requiring users to buy an expensive piece of hardware. And I think that’s bullshit.

I’m not into simulation games and you won’t hear me complaining about their setups. Valve should’ve started a separate franchise for VR and most people wouldn’t have said anything about it.

“It was easy to think about VR being a vehicle for Half-Life because that was a big technological innovation and kind of a core reason for that product’s existence,” said Valve engineer Brian Jacobson. "And I think one of the things we have internally tended to attach to the Half-Life IP is innovation. Gameplay innovation is often enabled by technological innovation. Clearly there was a ton in Half-Life 1 and 2.

“It’s an interesting challenge moving forward to think about what that means for future Half-Life stuff, for sure,” Jacobson added.

Fuck. That.

If your ‘innovation’ requires nonstandard and expensive hardware, create a new franchise for it.

Don’t fucking lock out people who played previous games on run-of-the-mill computer.

False equivalency. Most games these days, and for the foreseeable future, aren’t VR.

But that was not exclusive to HL2. That’s for every AAA PC game released at the time. Don’t tell me you could run GTA:VC but not HL2.

Honestly, I have no problems with linear games.

Even Rockstar is fumbling with open-world games. God forbid if you try to do missions slightly differently than how Rockstar intended.

It was the same for HL2 though

Literally how? All you needed was a computer that could run games, which if you were into gaming on PC, you already had.

Choke on my toes

Instead we got Half Life: Alyx

Only if you’re rich enough to afford VR setup. Fuck me for being born in a third world country, right Gabe?

>Acquire studios

>Don’t make any new games

What’s this strategy is called?

But you don’t think a challenge to the duopoly of Android and iPhone would be a good thing?

I see them taking another stab at pushing ARM windows again. Maybe the Xbox mobile will be their flagship.

Maybe Steam will launch a phone in the near future?🤞

Yeah what’s the appeal of portable gaming console (which is also a computer if you want it to be)?

Beats me tbh🤔

Ghost of Winter Sale Yet to Come

But what I really want is a console that just runs Linux

Steam Deck

You are the reason why people think Linux fans are obnoxious twats.

Compounding interest is the most powerful force in the universe

so there are many DRM-free games on Steam, more than a thousand at this point, but also many times more that can’t be launched without Steam.

Steam is pretty lenient with their offline mode tbh. What I don’t like is when I launch a game from Steam library and it prompts for login to some other launcher.

As a publisher, what is the data that Sony can get from forcing the PS account that they can’t get from Steam? I assume Steam provides all the relevant data to the publishers already?

Same for India. Lot of people have Tecno, oppo, vivo, and other Chinese brand Androids.

What a weird thing to say

Are there enough exclusives to justify buying one? 🤔

Couldn’t agree more

Schlongs of Skyrim

Goddamn it Todd, you want it as Skyrim mod, don’t you?
