This is by far the most confusing part when I consider switching over - which one to get? Primarily Steam gaming, but I saw someone mention the Nvidia cards I have might not play nice.

Yo it was a good time to leave back when he bought it. It was a good time again when he dumped moderation. It was a good time again when he changed the name to X. Really its always been a good time to leave. Anyone who hasn’t left by now has already ignored so many signs not even Ace of Base can help them.
Its like you read my mind. Where’s the other FOSS peeps at?
Yeah, I could have worded that better.
I suppose I have accepted it as just the way it is and will be, which is a shame, but I don’t buy their products either. I would love to play the new God of War, but I don’t need to that badly. There’s plenty of other great games out there without this bullshit which I would rather support
As you should, good job. I guess I failed to elaborate - I think unfortunately it will still sell very well, as has been demonstrated by other companies doing this. I don’t expect Sony to stop, they had the opportunity, are doubling down, and it does suck. I guess I have a hard time being outraged when really it’s nothing new. Same shit, different company.
I think you guys all missed the implication that I think EA and Ubisoft games suck. Why am I buying games that suck?
This is annoying in a way, but really, how is this any different than buying an EA or Ubisoft game on steam? I mean, besides that it’s actually a good game. This bullshit has been normalized for awhile and isn’t a surprise.
*** unless you want access to any sort of online feature such as co-op, pvp, dlc, leaderboards, or patches of any kind.
I like the deck and am thinking about the dock for it, but the controller thing is something I’m wondering about. Any idea if it can handle 3-4 of them wirelessly? I mainly want to put it on the tv for local co op or party games, but I usually use ps4 controllers and have found their bluetooth is awful on PC.
Awesome, thanks! I have some homework to do looking into these now, so many options!
Fair enough, and that is a bit of my concern, Nvidia doesn’t seem to be associated with being Linux friendly. Thanks for the advice, I wouldnt have thought to search on the specific card. This is gonna take some experimenting I think
Awesome, thanks for the guide links, definitely bookmarking this whole post haha. The Nvidia vs AMD thing is good to know too, I scored a great deal a few years back on a RTX card and I really want that thing working properly if possible
Alright so I got a steam deck and that seems cool. Windows has sucked for awhile and now it blows too so can I just install the steamdeck’s version of linux on my PCs too? Or do I choose a different distro? Or uhhhhhhhhhhhh wtf do I do I just wanna play games without being spied on and advertised at
Who is trying to game on a mac? Their hardware blows for gaming.
Apple has never wanted to play ball with the gaming community either, look no further than the lawsuits Epic is waging on them over the app store. Apple loves their closed ecosystem, and giving Valve any room for a foothold is counter to their strategy. There is no incentive for apple to court getting steam on their machines, and with such a small player base valve has no incentive either.
When it comes to enshittification Valve is a shining beacon resisting the tide of trends. No paying for online play. Free cloud saves. An open ecosystem with marketing methods that give everyone a chance in the spotlight, regardless of AAA status. No exclusivity for games (Epic can fucking suck it for bringing that bullshit to PC). Instead of squashing competition with shit business practices like Epic and Apple they encourage competition! They purposefully made SteamOS open source so that other companies can easily release portable PC gaming products!! They created controller compatibility when Microsoft wouldn’t, notably for playstation controllers while still releasing their own Steam controller. They created one of the first and only digital goods return policies, and frequently accept returns beyond the time limit. No one else in this industry is doing things like that. Epic wants to break in with subversive tactics while Valve is continuously improving the landscape for gamers, developers, and hardware makers. As long as Gabe Newell is alive we are in safe hands.
That said, who knows what happens when he dies? Everything is still just a license, so check out GOG for DRM free goods while you can. Buy things on other stores when they’re cheap so you have a distributed library. Maybe the ticking time bomb is there, but for the moment Valve is the last gaming company that isnt trying to fuck us on a daily basis, and I will continue to support that as long as that remains true.
Yeah in my experience most ISPs will not allow this without paying for two accounts. You may be able to get them to provide a different model modem/router, you are likely already paying a rental fee for the one you have. Otherwise they can give you a list of the types they accept and you’re just going to have to buy one to sub in. Unfortunately the combo models tend to be on the pricey side.
It is not. It uses the Safari webkit.
I use it on my phone, and on the phone ddg is it’s own separate browser.
Duckduckgo is a firefox addon for desktop. On iOS it utilizes a fork of Safari.
The others I’m not sure about, but a quick search shows me that I gotta delete Brave. Damn. Google is fucking insidious
Or duckduckgo. Or Brave. Or Opera. Or Tor.
I have yet to try the last two. I really enjoy duckduckgo on my phone, but I know there was some controversy. I guess I’m lazy but I love the fire button that burns away all your open tabs and history in one click. Started using Brave recently and I kind of enjoy how it reports how much stuff its blocked and the breakdown of what it all is. I have had no noticeable issues with either one.
Isnt this game pretty old at this for bothering to implement this?
Either way, fuck kernel level anti cheat. GTFO with that shit
