So the AI Max 395+ easily performs about 6 to 8 times faster than the Steam Deck, but it of course uses way more power to accomplish it.

I have a Framework Desktop with the 395+, I use it as a small form factor gaming PC and it can play any modern game at 1440p without upscaling on high graphics settings while maintaining 60fps. Max power draw of about 120 watts. It’s also basically silent which is awesome.

I’d imagine if they limit power draw for a handheld, it’d probably run significantly more efficiently than either the steam deck or Ally though. But I also feel like throttling such a powerful iGPU seems kinda wasteful and the 385+ could work just as well at low power and cost less…


That’s better priced than I’d expect for a Max+ 395. I’m not gonna buy it though, the steam deck still works fine.



If it’s anything like the thousands of pilots and implementations in my company, only like 2 actually made it to production use.


I wish people would actually stay in the industry but this is unlikely. Why would someone continue to work in an industry that will cut them at a moment’s notice for no reason? These people will leave gaming and become software engineers in other fields. There are more people just looking to work than there are people looking to start a full studio.



Is it just me or does this feel tone deaf?


It’s about timing. If someone did this before he died, you wouldn’t even hear about it in the news.


Nope. But they did delay the game again and they pinky promised they didn’t fire these people to union bust.







I don’t condone child abuse, but I’d have to watch that beating lmao.


Lol I wish I had the time to play 3 different games a day. Really, I have lots of small play sessions mostly on the weekends. Depending on what I have going on, I might not play anything for a week. Then other times I get to play something every night for a short window.

In reality, my longest streak this year was 23 days and steam says I played 34 different games in that time. Steam deck sure cranked up my play session counts too. And most of those games I’ve already beat. I might get an itch to go through a whole game (like the batman Arkham series, just replayed all that over those 23 days) but usually I just get an itch to play a small bit of this or that.


Well damn I played a lot more than I realized!

153 games played for the year

And I moved to Linux back in October. Distribution of Operation Systems


So is this a whole new divinity or a remake of the first divinity?



Yeah I pulled the trigger on the last sale. It’s the only game I own on Epic. I did have to use Heroic launcher to get it to cloud sync though, not surprising.

But it’s worth it. The game is a masterpiece in so many ways. I wish they didn’t have to rely on Epic to fund the game, but that’s the nature of the beast.


Oh that’s really cool! I’ve been watching his YouTube content off and on for what feels like years at this point. Hope he has fun.


Google is adding a new app to company-managed Pixel phones, which allows IT admins to see all the RCS messages sent and received on specific devices.

Honestly I thought this was a thing already. Never assume that your company owned phone is private, never ever access your personal account on your work device.



Of course epic doesn’t understand empowering consumers with information. They don’t care about consumers. If they did, they’d maybe try adding some long requested features to their storefront.


You also learned some valuable PC navigation and troubleshooting skills in the process of adding the skin to your game.

Kids today: why wouldn’t I spend $20 to be able to dance the running-man as Goku in Fortnite?


I’m waiting for the montage clip of Geoff just saying “Clair Obscure expedition 33” & “Death Stranding 2 On the Beach” over and over and over.

Those two freaking dominated.


They mention also wanting to run games on it locally with SteamOS. Plus it’s a beefy ARM processor. They coulda saved quite a bit with a lower end processor if it was gonna be solely wireless steaming.


I posted this in the other thread, but wanna share here too:

Most interesting thing to me is the Frame apparently runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is using SteamOS, implying official ARM support for SteamOS, Steam and Proton! Could mean steam and proton coming to android too.

Pro fold.

The pro can’t bend in half like this (I hope.)



Of course it was in the US. Europe actually has consumer protections.


The horny vending machine killed it for me.


And the backpedaling begins.

Don’t believe them. I’ve been told I’ve been grandfathered into legacy pricing on multiple occasions by multiple companies only to have every single one of them force me off old pricing. This’ll be no different. You might get a few months. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a year. But it’ll go away eventually.


Yes yes yes.

Just went through the whole series the other month. Still holds up surprisingly well.


Works well on my little bazzite machine. Loads hella fast now.


This is an important tidbit. Thank you all for working through that and saving me a future headache.
