- Comment on Analogue’s 4K Nintendo 64 launches next year for $249 5 weeks ago:
Analogue likely doesn’t emulate the hardware at the transistor level, as it’s far more difficult than doing what most Software Emulators do.
From an interesting (altough non-conclusive) HN-thread:
Without seeing the code, it’s impossible to know where Analog’s implementation falls on the spectrum of software emulation vs hardware simulation. There is nothing magical about FPGAs that automatically makes anything developed with them a 1:1 representation of real hardware. In fact, there are plenty of instances where the FPGA version of a particular console is literally just a representation of a popular emulator only in verilog/vhdl. In many instances, even the best FPGA implementations of some systems are still only simulating system level behavior. Off the top of my head, one famously difficult case is audio, where many chips have analog circuitry that cannot be fully simulated. [1]
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
I disagree with the notion that it’s better for the cheaters to have an easier time (and less chance of being detected), but you’re right, BattleEye doesn’t solve the cheating problem for GTA.
Rockstar should fix their netcode and run game server on dedicated server, instead of their customers PC’s. I’d think decting aimbot isn’t the biggest issue, while cheaters are able to break entire lobbies…
IMO no game should require client side anti cheat except for shooters, where looking through walls and aimbot is actually difficult to detect server side. At least for those is it possible to find valid arguments (except for being lazy).

Cheat makers are likely behind this, asthey have monetary incentives to do so. If its Linux users I’d feel bad because stopping others from playing just because they can’t, is extremely bad behaviour.

- Comment on Steam Families is here - Steam News 2 months ago:
It’s one year cooldown after joining a family share. I.e. if you leave half a year after joining, you have to wait another half a year to join another family share.
Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.
- Comment on It’s official: No Nintendo console has lasted as long as Switch without being replaced 4 months ago:
I wonder whether they’ll only release an OLED Switch, or if they’ll sell the LED Switch first again.
As an enthusiast I’d be pretty pissed knowing to either wait a few years for the OLED or having to buy a second switch at some point. Reason being I can’t imagine going back to an LED after gaming on an OLED for years. My phone constantly shows me what my Steam Deck is missing.
- Comment on Let's discuss: LEGO Games 8 months ago:
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga was the first game I played. So great that I even bought it on disk, to buy it again on Steam.
In general LEGO games are fun and through collaboration with other IP’s, there’s so many different awesome games. Many of them quite cheap in sales.
- Comment on [PSA] Battle.net broke in Wine / Proton - here's how to fix for Steam Deck / Linux 11 months ago:
I’m so happy I finally ditched Battle.net, since Overwatch is now on Steam. Battle.net through proton and wine often crashed or had other issues.
- Comment on Valve Says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Not Happening Because There Aren't Enough Players on Mac to Justify It 1 year ago:
I don’t like this decision, since I know the lack of support for different platforms than Windowy as someone playing on Linux. Valve invests into proton and thus game support on Steam Deck and ChromeOS, so I’d have thought they’d make sure CS runs on all platforms.
- Comment on Counter-Strike 2 probably releases next week 1 year ago:
Valve announced the day Danger Zone was released with a similar tweet.
What are you doing next Wednesday?
vs.
What are you doing Wednesday?
So it might just be a big update, maybe with Danger Zone.
We really don’t know.
