Ah yes, the classic “everyone who disagrees with me is a troll”

So you made it up.
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 4 days ago:
Where did you find that information?
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 4 days ago:
The Steam Deck brings about a conversation about what a console is. To me, it’s something that plugs into the TV and doesn’t require KBM, and in that regard it very much is.

And trust me, I begged. Pleaded. Lit prayer candles.
Why would you do that?

All the reasons listed in OP

It’s very likely that the Switch 2 will far outsell all other PC handhelds combined. And that is very much a loss. Not just to Valve, not just to PC gamers, but to everyone.

Lemmy (and the fediverse) is largely a liberal platform. Many liberals will actually outright oppose free speech.
- Comment on Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales 6 days ago:
Physical goods are no different in that when you pre-order something you really have no idea what you’re getting. You’re counting on the reputation of the company to deliver on their claims. Which is often a bad idea.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 6 days ago:
I sure as hell am glad I bought my Switch and and several games second hand
I had a Switch but I sold it after realizing that even second hand games sell for 90% of new. I’ve no idea how the economics of that situation works out…

I am constantly in awe of how many people want to watch this cringy dude ramble into a 1080p webcam mounted on the ceiling.
- Comment on Tinder tests letting users set a 'height preference' 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either but I agree, having a height without a weight preference seems a bit hypocritical.

Pretty hyped. Trailer looks really good.

The OLED is the same size as the OG but lighter.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 3 weeks ago:
“Deck verified” is an absolutely useless metric and very often wrong. I pay no attention to them and neither should you.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 3 weeks ago:
The only reason you should buy a Switch is if you have no self respect, don’t give a shit about being in an abusive relationship with Nintendo, and don’t care about sending thousands of dollars to a company that hates you to get an artificially limited device, and absolutely MUST play Nintendo first-party games, in the intended fashion.
The Deck is such a better device in nearly every way.
- Comment on Neil Druckmann Says a Cure Would Have Worked in 'The Last of Us' 3 weeks ago:
He also admitted that the science behind it might not be perfect. “Now, is our science a little shaky that now people are questioning it? Yeah, it was a little shaky and now people are questioning that.
I wonder if these people realize that this is science fiction.
- Comment on Why console makers can legally brick your game console 3 weeks ago:
They refer to Sony’s ToS:
If SIE Inc determines that you have violated this Agreement’s terms, SIE Inc may itself or may procure the taking of any action to protect its interests such as disabling access to or use of some or all System Software, disabling use of this PS5 system online or offline, termination of your access to PlayStation Network, denial of any warranty, repair or other services provided for your PS5 system, implementation of automatic or mandatory updates or devices intended to discontinue unauthorized use, or reliance on any other remedial efforts as reasonably necessary to prevent the use of modified or unpermitted use of System Software.
Although I’ve never heard of any reports of that, and I’d love to see it tested in a courtroom. Deliberately bricking someone else’s hardware because YOU believe for some reason that they’re not using it properly is on a whole other level than just disabling online accounts. It’s vindictive.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 3 weeks ago:
That’s why the first thing I do when I buy a new game is to turn off the internet and boot the game. If it doesn’t boot or work offline, I refund it. And I just don’t buy games that have Denuvo.
- Comment on Why console makers can legally brick your game console 3 weeks ago:
“Although users own the hardware, the software that’s needed to run it is subject to a license agreement,” attorney Jon Loiterman told Ars. “If you violate the license terms, Nintendo has the right to revoke your access to that software. It’s less common for software makers to revoke access to software in a way that disables hardware you bought from them, but the principle is the same.”
- Comment on Signal calls out Microsoft for poor implementation of Windows 11 Recall, blocks it by default 3 weeks ago:
It’s hard to believe anyone would be legally convicted of a crime because their OS took a screenshot.
- Comment on Signal calls out Microsoft for poor implementation of Windows 11 Recall, blocks it by default 3 weeks ago:
There will always be edge cases and exploits.
Sure, but most people already have sensitive data on their PCs and trust the OS to keep it (mostly) safe.
To what end?
To the end that stonk line go up.
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 3 weeks ago:
I usually start on easy mode and then steadily increase difficulty as I go. Nothing will make me refund a game faster than being 20 minutes in and dying 74 times in an impossible encounter. LoP is one of those games.

If you do, you’ll probably enjoy The Boys on Amazon.
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible [VGC] 3 weeks ago:
The difficulty is not a problem for me so much as the very slow movements. It takes like 2 seconds to swing a sword. Meanwhile the opponent is still attacking. Just can’t figure these games out, myself 😮💨
