- Comment on Indie open worlder Future? No Thanks! gets last minute delay after Steam content mods allegedly demand a "watch the sex scene" button 1 week ago:
this article places blame entirely on Valve and mentions the real culprit only in passing.
this is not on Valve. this is on shitty payment processors being puritanical assholes and ruining everything for everyone.
this particular writer tends to have pretty awful takes in most of his articles at any rate.
- Comment on Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 4 brings SDL3, and prefers Wayland on Linux 2 weeks ago:
or just play old versions of minecraft. i haven’t updated from 1.20.1 and I never plan to.
i also dabble in beta as well.
- Comment on SteamOS 3.8.15 brings a performance fix and SteamOS 3.8.23 Beta is out too 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Xbox's gut-wrenching layoffs include the Elder Scrolls Online dev who became studio head around the time of last year's gut-wrenching Xbox layoffs 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on It looks like iFixit won't be getting any more Steam Deck LCD spare parts 2 weeks ago:
i got mine around 2022 so longer than 4 years? valve was all over the reparability angle.
if you’re going to be all about reparability and longevity of a product, I’d say a decade isn’t unreasonable. especially considering they’d pushed so hard against talks of “newer” model releases. and instead opted for the “this product should be fine for years and years to come”. especially in any media or marketing they had.
why are you pushing so hard against a company being held responsible for their own promises?
- Comment on GoldenEye and Perfect Dark inspired shooter Agent 64: Spies Never Die launches August 11 2 weeks ago:
I played a ton of perfect dark 64. the multiplayer maps alone were just countless hours of fun.
I’d absolutely play this.
- Comment on It looks like iFixit won't be getting any more Steam Deck LCD spare parts 2 weeks ago:
valve echoed off all walls that this would be a product they’d support for a great deal of time. they preached that the OLED getting released was the same and both products would be supported.
the idea was to not have a product that needed to be changed out for a new one but to maintain products sold for years and years to come.
granted that was before the AI losers started butchering the parts market, but its still a huge disappointment.
- Comment on It looks like iFixit won't be getting any more Steam Deck LCD spare parts 2 weeks ago:
it really sucks for me. i was under the impression from valve that this would be a product they’d support for years to come. its why I wanted the damn thing in the first place.
my battery won’t last the year I don’t think. and now I’m screwed for replacements
- Comment on It looks like iFixit won't be getting any more Steam Deck LCD spare parts 2 weeks ago:
understood! i used to encourage friends to get steam decks before the price increase. I’ll now be telling them to steer clear of valve products and look elsewhere instead.
- Comment on "Compliance-in-advance is never enough to appease a zealous censor": Robert Yang on the current challenge of bringing experimental gay games to Steam 3 weeks ago:
this is about payment processors and valve is taking the blame.
its a porn game, man. its not some holy relic. with payment processors being weird the game is going to have some issues getting published.
- Comment on California Protect Our Games Act fails in committee, as an ESA rep calls Minecraft servers "illegal" 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on GTA 6 price confirmed: the standard edition will set you back $80, but on the bright side at least us PC players have plenty of time to save up 5 weeks ago:
I’ve put quite a few hours into that game. the combat is fun as fuck. and super worth it when you can snag it for a cheap price.
- Comment on Steam Machine prices start at £879 / $1049, Valve confirm, as "randomised reservations" open for the SteamOS PC 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on 7 Days to Die is getting a huge upgrade with lots of gameplay customization 1 month ago:
The Fun Police need to stop changing everything. its made me quit multiple times now.
its depressing that when I hear 7 days is getting an update, my first thought is “oh shit not again”
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls Online now Steam Deck Verified with Update 50 1 month ago:
i just checked it! that is amazing! =O I had no idea it lost its verified status. that is crazy that I didn’t know!
that honestly gives me some hope that valve are actually listening to feedback.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls Online now Steam Deck Verified with Update 50 1 month ago:
Press X to doubt
I am currently updating on the steam deck. i have been playing ESO on steam deck for a long time now. its plaugued by a very annoying UI problem.
when a keyboard and mouse is connected, it still brings up the onscreen keyboard when any kind of text box opens. its been something I’ve been trying to kill for a while now.
i will check back when I’ve updated to report if they fixed this issue, but I am extremely skeptical considering that skyrim special edition is “steam deck verified” even though it suffers from a bug that crashes the game to desktop if you try and use the onscreen keyboard.
