- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 19 hours ago:
Having one launcher isn’t a problem for me. Steam’s OS’s launcher even allows me to launch GOG games through Heroic without even really launching Heroic.
Where it starts being a problem is when individual games need their own launcher…
I see the launcher as the system menu in a console…

Well they are based in my city and they’ve been around for 30 years.
They use their datacenters to heat buildings and seem to have good ethos.
I’ve been using kdrive for 5 years and I can only complain about the lack of Flatpak (Appimage for Linux) and the fact that they don’t have an alternative to something like Google Photos.

Infomaniak is even cheaper with kdrive www.infomaniak.com/fr/ksuite/kdrive/tarifs
- Comment on RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update 1 week ago:
So what? How much bigger is it than the other one?
If it allows me to not change too many things on the Deck to install, I’m okay with wasting some space compared to other solutions.
Also it can emulate not just one console.
- Comment on RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update 1 week ago:
RetroDeck has the advantage of being a Flatpak and not needing Deckyloader plugin if you’re using a Steam Deck.
I’ve had a great experience with it👍
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 3 weeks ago:
Exactly! The good part of such a shortage is that old tech can stay relevant for far longer and devs will have to optimize more.
Sometimes, therés a lot of good in a bad situation.
I want great games, not necessarly more demanding ones. The Last of Us 2 is still the most beautiful game I’ve played and I don’t really need more if it means getting new hardware.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 3 weeks ago:
I’d also love to have a normal PS5 partition and a Linux one. This would be the best of both worlds, but I think I’m dreaming too much😇
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 4 weeks ago:
Oh yeah I fully agree that no game can satisfy everyone.
It’s just that, before playing it myself, I never heard a bad thing about it so I might have expected too much out of it.
Still I enjoyed it, even if it’s not a game I’ll recommend to everyone.
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 4 weeks ago:
It’s a great game, but not the masterpiece everyone told me.

I’ve loved Uncharted and the Last of Us, but this one isn’t attracting me for now…
- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 2 months ago:
Good as developpers should optimize instead of just counting on more powerful hardware.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 2 months ago:
Linux gaming is good enough that I would consider not getting the Playstation 6 if I didn’t have kids and didn’t want to watch basketball through the nba league pass.
I’m trying to get my kids to play with the Steam Deck, but it’s honestly still not as good as a Playstation for such a use.
Still it’s going the right way.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
It would be a good deal if you kept the games forever, but since they’re linked to your subscription, it ain’t worth it to me😇
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 3 months ago:
Why would you wish to be highly sensitive to an increase/decrease in fps.
That’s just a curse and you should be happy you don’t have it.
You can just enjoy more games with a cheaper pc/console.
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 3 months ago:
People are criticizing Playstation, but I’m still really happy to have a Playstation 5 alongside my Steam Deck.
As much as I love playing old games on the deck and it has now become my main console, I’m happy to have my Playstation 5 for demanding games (mostly sim racing) and to watch blurays.
Having a powerful PC would not bring me the versatility my Steam Deck/Playstation 5/Surface Go 1 is giving me for now.
Although that might change if the Playstation 6 comes without blurays.
I don’t understand why some PC people feel the need to say consoles are useless, when it’s only to them that they would be.
- Comment on GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders 3 months ago:
Did you mean this? If there is nothing written, does it mean the game is DRM free as if we were on GOG?
- Comment on GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders 3 months ago:
Oh I’m gonna have a look at my games out of curiosity then.
- Comment on GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders 3 months ago:
How do you know if a Steam game is DRM free or not?
How do you install such games without Steam through Linux? Is it just an .exe and you click on it as I haven’t done it since probably the early 00’s?
- Comment on GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders 3 months ago:
I’m trying to buy 50% of my games on Gog because they avoir DRM and 50% on Steam because they’re great Linux supporters.
Still I can understand why Steam is ahead in terms to f sale as GOG has some progress to do.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 4 months ago:
Yeah but don’t forget that GamePass is also costing them a lot of money.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 4 months ago:
Yeah but you forgot chip prices and tariffs so I don’t think their margins have improved by so much…
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 4 months ago:
Yeah but allowing players to have steam games would mean not recovering the money invested in subsidizing the console since there is no money made on selling them.
That only works when Xbox is only gonna be a brand and not console makers.
- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 4 months ago:
And you can get a used LCD for cheap now that it has been out for a while.
And I can tell you that the screen is already more than good enough for me with really good colors.
- Comment on I'm playing Gears of War Reloaded, and I have a question. Will there be some point when the Chainsaw I've had for hours actually gets explained to me? 4 months ago:
I’m trying to avoid buying from companies on the palestinian boycott list, but I already know a Gears of War remake playable on Steam Deck is gonna be one exception.
- Comment on Shenmue III Enhanced announced for PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo, and PC 5 months ago:
Loved the first 2 on Dreamcast, started the 3rd one and couldn’t tell if my taste had evolved so much or if the game was just bad. I never finished it despite funding it on kickstarter…
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing. 5 months ago:
I’m not gonna spoil anything bit I didn’t enjoy the story.
Maybe it’s just me and I would play it again if it was a 20 hours game, but it’s too long for me to give it another chance.
I loved the ambiance and gameplay though. I think I enjoyed the first one more because the story wasn’t bad, but it has been ages…
- Comment on Stop Killing Games is facing a complaint in the EU that uses nonsense logic to accuse the movement's founder of failing to disclose financial contributions he never made: 'It's not paranoia if they re 6 months ago:
Well it’s crazy that they’re accusing him of giving too much of his own time.
I really hope the Stop Killing Games initiative changes something as I want to own my (single player) games forever on every store (not only GOG as it’s not so Linux friendly despite the heroic games launcher).
- Comment on We did it! 🥳 6 months ago:
Great news!
If only I could sign it. Keep going EU citizens!
- Comment on Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing. 6 months ago:
I guess for arcade games it’s logical, but it doesn’t apply to games like Heavy Rain, Last Of Us, Uncharted or Final Fantasy.
But I guess every one behaves differently and enjoys different things.
I’m just worried when I see my 8 year old son trying a new game every time he faces a challenge in the previous one.
- Comment on Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing. 6 months ago:
Well for me it’s like starting 40 books, 40 movies or 40 songs and not finishing them.
If it’s a story driven game, I would never picture myself not finishing it unless I don’t enjoy it.
Also I see the starting something and not finishing it as a result of the short attention spans generation, but I might be getting old at 38😅
