Honestly in 3 years I never felt the need for any accessories, other than a 1TB SSD.

NEVA. SIFU is up next, got it free a couple days ago! Been mostly playing on desktop lately though (FFXVI)

Don’t take my word for it. Like I said, it’s written in plain language right in their Privacy Policy.

Firefox has never put a priority on privacy. Just take a glance at their privacy policy. And it’s plain to see that they are moving further away from it every day.

There are a dozen Firefox forks though. Mulch, DDG, TOR, Fennic, Bromite, etc.

If you bought an iPhone a year ago, you definitely noticed that you now only have to carry 1 cable, and all of your cable and accessories cost less because they don’t have to pay Apple an exorbitant fee to license their archaic and proprietary connector. If you paid extra for the “Pro” model you’ll notice wildly faster transfer speeds over USB. If you bought the base model, fuck you, you’re stuck with USB 2.1 because greed.

You’re wrong because of the specific words you’re choosing to use. Even if they aren’t, it doesn’t mean they can’t.

Yeah I did exactly that. It just needs an update afterwards.

“design by committee” approach that large studios are using

They don’t have to use that.

This kind of game can only exist as a solo or very small team project.

That’s just very clearly wrong.

You can not generate the kind of money that large publishers and studios need to survive with little Indie games.

Wrong again. If anything, only large publishers can lose the kinds of money that they sometimes do.

Balatro is…not something big studios could even possibly replicate

…and why not?

What would be the point of a big studio trying to make a game that one developer can pull off?

…money?

They’re simply drawing all the wrong conclusions here:

even though Spider-Man 2 sold more than 11 million copies, several members of Insomniac lost their jobs when Sony announced 900 layoffs in February.

The layoffs don’t mean the game or company were unsuccessful, it means they found other ways to eliminate those jobs.

Warner Bros. Discovery took a $200 million loss on Suicide Squad

That’s nothing to do with graphical fidelity, it was a shit game that followed up a shit movie.

Sony closed the studio behind Concord

Lots of potential reasons for this. If you ask me, they released a $30 game into a genre chock full of “free to play” games.

Personally I appreciate “cinematic” games but titles like Balatro and Stardew Valley (neither of which I own) are proof of the simple fact that making games that are actually fun to play is far far more important, and far more profitable.

You are criticizing the verification system by comparing it to ProtonDB which, again, is a different thing.

Different in some ways but serves the same purpose.

Steam’s verification isn’t “inaccurate,”

Yes it is.

Crowdsourcing something like that would not be a good way for Valve to accomplish its goals.

Yes it would.

I’ve installed all sorts of things on SteamOS without “extra steps”.

I can’t say the same for Bazzite.

That’s how all chargers work. The problem is that it’s simply not great to have your battery at 100% all of the time.

Cool!

it’s not well equipped to handle user packages in the same way OSTree is

Can you elaborate?

Pretty much the same titles over and over again.

I’ll never not be shocked at BG3 because it runs potato quality but to each their own, I suppose.

How so?

1. Of course it does. Everything that’s not an iPhone does.

2. Doubt. Pixels have had the best photos for several years.

Yes I understand how the Steam Deck and verified ratings work, but thanks for the explanation.

You can use it for absolutely anything. That’s the beauty of Linux. Will it be good for it, as is? No, not really.

A lot of streaming services will limit you to 720p unless you use their first-party apps, which they don’t make for Linux.

Also the interface is not ideal for that sort of thing.

Leaving it plugged in permanently is not really good for the battery, but not a huge deal either. There’s probably some way to enable a “kiosk mode” to keep the battery @ 50%, which would be ideal.
