- Comment on Which handheld should I get? 1 day ago:
Just rumors and speculation, for sure.
But the Steamdeck was a good idea and I doubt they’ll leave it “one-and-done”.

No need for name calling, but to answer your question; yes I do.
- Comment on Which handheld should I get? 2 days ago:
Well, it seems at least one company has admitted that only focusing on making games high-end games might have been a bit self-defeating when there’s an even bigger market with slightly older tech they could have been selling to. So there’s a start.
I also remember reading somewhere that there’s just been a breakthrough in battery tech (It was probably mostly in regards to electric vehicles, but if it can be be applied to smaller devices, that’s also a good start).
Maybe there doesn’t have to be a sacrifice in battery life on the next-gen Steamdeck. It’s small stuff like this that would make me think that maybe the next gen isn’t too far in the future.
But again, what the hell do I know? I’m a PC guy. Fairly happy with my stationary setup.

The estimates I’m seeing is only 3 years. But yeah, that’s probably a bit long for OP.
- Comment on Which handheld should I get? 3 days ago:
As I said, I don’t know too much about handheld devices.
But with the Switch 2 having come out, I can only imagine others want to push out something new as soon as possible as well.
However Valve is known for not adhering to such thing and only launching when they have something subtantial to show for.
But I’m pretty sure a bunch of things are in the works from all the big contenders. MS, Sony, Valve and likely others as well.
- Comment on Which handheld should I get? 3 days ago:
Without knowing too much about handheld devices, at this point, I’d probably wait for the next generation to start coming out.
Like, the Steamdeck 2 can’t be too far off.
And although I don’t have high hopes for Xbox, they have been talking about launching their own handheld.

If you’re messed up enough, there’s a chance the state has payed for them. On the other hand, at that point there’s probably also a very specific reason for being single.

When it comes to stolen cartoon, yeah, my feelings are as good a judge as any.

- Comment on I refuse to by a new mouse 1 week ago:
Sadly, every mouse I buy breaks on the inside and for some reason, it’s never something easily fixable.
I miss my old Logitec T-CH11 Trackball. It lasted me 14 years without Incident. I feel lucky if the new ones last a single year.

Does this work when referring to music as well?
- Comment on What are your experiences using Linux for gaming? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve only had problems with two games.
A game called OneShot, which has some meta things as part of the game. Like, it’s supposed to change your wallpaper and such “outside the game” things. No biggy, just had to run an executable with a specific version on Wine and it worked as intended.
The other was Vermitide 2, never got around to finding a solution for that one, as I honestly didn’t care enough to find out what the problem is.
Everything else has worked splendidly.

Well, a game flopping doesn’t mean they should stop making games. It’s just they probably haven’t learned anything from it.

- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
I’d hope it only referres to actual porn games. Would hate to see a game like RDR2 taken down because there’s a heavily implied incestual relationship in the game.
- Comment on Avowed's summer update revamps fighter and ranger skills so those pesky wizards aren't having all the fun 1 month ago:
Oh yes, The Outer Worlds is being thrown under the bus for a second time.
First ToW1 when Private Division decided to take the Timed Exclusivity deal last minute, and now ToW2 being the first game to launch with the $80 price-tag.
Tim and Leonard just can’t catch a break on this one.

Saw this and out of morbid curiosity had to look up the concurrent playercount on SteamDB… yikes.

Yup, it’s a peeve. I don’t know why the buttons just get thrown onto the keyboard with a shovel.
Who thought crouch belongs on © and Interact goes on (F) or even (X)? I get (F) if the game has a peek-mechanic, but most don’t.
Just use (E). And crouch & sprint has always been on (Ctrl) & (Shift) respectively. It’s the optimal configuration with WASD.
- Comment on How to install Battle.net on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck for World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2 months ago:
Just running the launcher through Steam worked after all else failed. I used to run it through Lutris, but something prevented me from doing it again after upgrading my OS.
I’d honestly kick Blizzard and their games to the curve, but alas, there’s 2 games my little friend group defaults to and refuses to move on from. So I’m stuck with it if I want to play with them.
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 2 months ago:
One thing, and it’s likely just an oversigt, but controls. With Consoles being the computers that everything is designed for, the lack of proper controls for Mouse & Keyboard have become a bit of a nuisance.
Normally, it’s not a big deal. You just configure them yourself.
But it did irk me some when I gave Cyberpunk a go and tried to switch the Interact/select button from (F) to (E) and it didn’t move both functionalities. Now (E) was Interact, but in menus it defaulted back to (F) as if menu select was apparently a different function.
