• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale won't be on Steam right away, as its devs want to avoid "overindexing on negative reviews" from players who "aren't as well-informed yet"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t Steam have a closed beta feature?

  To me it sounds like they want to avoid Steam’s cut of their fanbase.

  If this turns out to be any good, it might be the first Rogue-whatever I’ll play. Racing games is the only genre where I wouldn’t mind these kinds of mechanics.

  Hi-Fi Rush is having its Denuvo anti-tamper software removed

  ok, maybe I’ll now grab it…

  as part of Tango Gameworks’ transition to new owners Krafton.

  ok, maybe not.

  I hope it’s not another Sony attempt at a live service game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wrote my first article about self-hosting and our Safebox project⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was posted on a FOSS platform like Write.as, Ghost or Wordpress, you would have gotten away with it. Even if you didn’t host it yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't expect a SteamOS phone after the Steam Machine, Valve engineer says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Pixel level Linux phone backed by Valve? Sign me up! It would mean a massive boost to the whole Linux on phones dev community. But that dream is now shattered. Dang.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The response to s&box from Facepunch going open source has been "overwhelmingly positive"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is great news. However, how will they make money to keep working on it? Will they still sell the game on Steam? What’s the plan?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AGPL works for me. Good to know.

  I just avoid using “source available” and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it’s a business only feature.

  I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.

  The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don’t know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.

  My point is, if it’s justified, I’ll pay. Otherwise, I’ll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I’m using kill-the-newsletter.com but I wish I had an all in one solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marathon Art Controversy Resolved As Artist Reaches Agreement With Bungie And Sony⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You are assuming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marathon Art Controversy Resolved As Artist Reaches Agreement With Bungie And Sony⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I hope it flops for what they have done. I’m happy for Arc Raiders, a great example of how they should have done it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hakboard - Home Assistant Integration for Kanboard⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is freaking awesome

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale devs confirm they are working to bring it to Linux and macOS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If this gets controller support & splitscreen, I’m forcefeeding it to my kids 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[beta] Scatola Magica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By supporting WebDav your app will instantly gain the possibility to sync with every OS and a gazillion apps. It is not the best protocol, but it’s everywhere and it’s very good when implemented well. For example, CopyParty’s WebDav implementation is blazing fast.

  Afterwards, you could enhance the experience by supporting websockets so that contributors can build clients specific to your project. This will take much more time to reach the user with a usable sync app, but can potentially end up in a superior experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[beta] Scatola Magica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can it use files already on my server?

  Will it support WebDAV?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - DioCrafts/OxiCloud: ☁️ OxiCloud server, efficient and secure way to save all your data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried several WebDav clients, and I’ve found that the great majority will work great. Their performance will depend on the server. For example, Nextcloud was slow. CopyParty was blazing fast, as if it was a local folder.

  You might want to checkout CopyParty too, it’s UX/UI sucks, but you don’t need to see it, since you can use it with almost any client on any platform via any protocol.

  This is the one that supports splitscreen right? Freaking cool!

  Does it support hardware acceleration?

  If they succeed with the frame and machine, the greedy & lazy competition will be even more rabid.

  Instead of working and competing, they will sue until there’s no tomorrow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake will release in March 2026, according to the latest whispers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  100% chance of clusterfuckery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like a Stadium for games? That’s a really cool idea, I mean they already have the streaming tech, they only have to get their business model right. Easy, right?

  Almost guaranteed it can’t fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Tech Tips “disappointed” Steam Machine won’t be priced like a console - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With a $500 pricing it would be sold out eternally. It would be a revolution.

  +$700 = Niche product

  +800 = DOA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games Store users can now gift games to friends⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This. Corporate public traded company CEOs criticizing Valve as a monopoly when they alone made PC gaming the best platform ever to play games is freaking ridiculous. In exchange for our money, Valve gave us more than anyone else. The return we get is far greater than with any other gaming company.

  Praise the GabeN & GOG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steamworks SDK adds support for Linux Arm and Android, and it seems we know the first Android game on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the Steam Machine ships without a dumb-proof way to use Netflix, Spotify & YouTube, it will be a weird thing to have in a living room.

  They better deploy Waydroid not only for ARM but for x86 too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HyTale has been acquired by the original devs and is going to release into Early Access⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone know if they have worked on controller & splitscreen support or if it is in the roadmap?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cost aside. If they don’t price it competitively between the Xbox and the PS5, the Steam Machine will be DOA.

  The Deck is a perfect example of what they should try to replicate. If they don’t do that, it will flop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft must be pissing their pants right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At 1k, it’s DOA.

  I’ll be getting one and 4 controllers because my kids love the Steam Deck and I have a family library full of games.

  But at that price point it won’t be able to appeal to people looking for a console. It will only appeal to the tiny segment of PC gamers that already have a Steam game library and want the native living room experience because streaming sucks.

  The majority of PC gamers don’t care about couch gaming, this is why most PC ports don’t have splitscreen.

  I love local coop and Linux, so for them to thrive, I hope Valve makes the right call, again.
