Semperverus

This is in large part due to the EU forcing Valve to allow refunds. I think it was a good change but it is the source of the boring sales.

Before the refunds, Valve used to encourage developers to do flash sales (hour or day long surprise sales) of upwards of 90% off, and similar events. You’d also frequently see that much during the major seasonal sales like the summer sales. There was no risk really for either party because you spent very little on a game and if you didn’t like it then oh well, you only spent a few dollars/pounds/euros/chuck-e-cheese tokens on a game so who cares. Conversely, Valve and the game developer had guaranteed income the moment you bought it.

I do miss the pre-refund days as a “patient gamer” because of the insane sales, but refunds have protected us against a lot of things like the cyberpunk 2077 launch, the helldivers controversy, and several other major problems.

The onus is on the accuser to provide evidence, not the audience he or she is professing accusations to.

In other words: put up, or shut up.

This won’t be possible with Wayland. It’ll be possible on Xorg desktops but Wayland has explicit separation of permissions per-window and must be granted as such by the user (or on steam’s gamemode, probably automatically will target the game window’s surface/gamescope instance)

Change that.

You can get a Steam Deck refurbished for very very little money.

Edit: keep an eye out on this page for them to come back into stock, or check out Valve’s partner store, GameStop.

Desktop first, steam deck very close second.

Laptops can stay very far away from my household

Hasnt android (or at least custom roms) had this since forever?

Python has built-in json parsing, as does (and i know this isnt gonna be popular) PowerShell.

Are they easy to wear?

I just use the KDE defaults and they work fine

Regardless of if their gpus are weaker, they are absolutely causing the focus on gaming laptops to wane, and wane hard. Why build a high end $2000 laptop that sells 10,000 units when you could make a $600-1000 handheld that sells 250,000 to 3,000,000 units?

You missed the joke

Earth falling out of orbit and careening towards the sun.

Looking up at the sky, I see a void open in the center, going from blue to black, then eventually to blinding orange into white before everyone collectively melts and then incinerates in the extreme heat.

Worst off, its a slow descent, so we have time to contemplate it as it happens.

Yes, you mod it the same way you do on windows, but the game is saved in a different location.

I did a full playthrough with the wands are guns mod on linux just fine

And y’all say that linux users don’t value their time… smh

Finally, one that gets the “i want to be a steam deck competitor” formfactor correct.

It has actual trackpads!!

Hoping it has the back triggers too

I think i’m missing the context about the circumcision thing. Where did you get that from exactly?

Then you sorely misunderstand what 4chan is about and hyperfocus on the offensive parts.

This sounds a lot like Selenium

Arent you forgetting someone?

The year of the linux desktop was when AMD open sourced their drivers around 5 years ago and Valve partnered with codeweavers to drop Proton. Its only been uphill from there.
