There’s a difference between citron and lemon ? As a french speaker this is very confusing, I thought “citron” was just our word for “lemon”

It’s never going to happen anyway so it doesn’t matter x)

Oh great, so now even IF the Sims 5 comes out, I have a moral obligation not to buy it…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
If that actually happens and the label becomes redundant, then we can talk about removing it.

Or better, inverting it to a “No AI” label for the people like me who will still care.

Tech bros always act like this : they don’t want to actually win by making a good solution. Instead they try to make you feel like their solution is inevitable and they have already won…

For a group of people who claim to be all about meritocracy and the “marketplace of ideas”, they sure like to short circuit those whenever possible…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Ray Tracing is still not good enough and needs “de-noising” which basically just blurs the image.

DLSS is also absolutely horrible for blur. I would rather have a clear pixelated image than an upscaled mess. (And AMD superFX is barely any better)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
A combined off switch for TAA, Ray Tracing, DLSS, frame generation, and all of that nonsense.

I hate that games now turn to soup when in motion, even with motion blur off.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming Pet Peeves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Games you can’t pause. I love Dark Souls, but PLEASE give me a real pause button !

I’m okay with the inventory not pausing, that’s part of the game design. I’m not okay with the fact I can’t pause at all, so if my neighbour rings for their spare key when I’m fighting Kalameet I just have to die 🤷🏻‍♀ (true story btw)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming Pet Peeves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Every game has controller remapping with Steam ! But the on-screen hints might get mighty confusing 😅

As someone who works in assembler a lot, RISC-V is probably my favorite.

If anyone knows a useful open source project where people like me can contribute to this future happening, please do respond to this comment !

Real glad I can soon ditch the DualSense Edge and its only half-functional gimmicks !

I will miss the adjustable triggers, but I will NOT miss the randomly incorrect button mappings, and “extra buttons” that get fucked up if you ever connect it to an actual PS5

So you could sell it now !

Yes but which index ? The headset alone is 540€, but the full VR Kit is 1080€

Dont get me wrong, I’m still going TK buy it if IR costs 1080€, but I will be annoyed, and very sad for all the kids who will still have to sell their soul to Meta for a while…

I really hope it’s ~500€

If Valve went DRM free like GOG, I would have no reason to ever buy games anywhere else

(apart from exclusives, which should be illegal IMO)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That is a bit of a shame, I was excited to see the Steam Frame controllers simply use AA batteries.

I wish more things used those, or maybe some new standard with more energy density. Swapping batteries immediately is one thing I miss from the Wii days…

That is nice, but Hades II is hardly my idea of a hard benchmark to clear. Looks like a fun game, though !

As homophobic as this indeed is, it’s also from 2011. As a pansexual trans woman, I’m pretty sure I might have sais some very transphobic/homophobic stuff in 2011 as well, thankfully I was not posting it online.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, but I respect that you may not be inclined to do that. I have possibly too much faith in humanity.

Be prepared for Square Enix games to fail even EA’s QA standards in the near future 😅
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Just looked it up, really disappointed it doesn’t do the 3D part. (yes, I’m part of the few people who always had it on and set to max depth)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I cannot describe how disappointed I was in the switch when it came out, and the situation isn’t much better now. It took one huge step forwards, yes, bus also ditched a ton of really good features :
- No cameras !?
- No microphone !?
- No analog triggers
- No 3D display
- No stylus support
- No Streetpass
- No personality (fun apps, menu music, themes…)
Even the Motion controls, which are still a thing, do not feature any IR reference point, making the Wii still the best implementation of motion aim outside of VR.

The games are great, but these days I personally play the Wii U and 3DS more often, because unlike the switch these platforms still offer some experiences that are just not possible elsewhere.

In fact, the Wii U and 3DS are currently the only consoles I would recommend actually possessing physically. Wii U emulation is really annoying (though Steam Deck can get there, with a cable in the way), and good luck finding anything for the 3DS that does the 3D part any better than a New 3DS XL.

I would have thought that, as I have played closer to 8 hours, and I am bored with it 😂 glad it’s still fun for you though 😊

In my personal experience, the only games that don’t work are those that explicitly choose not to :
- Fortnite
- PUBG
- Roblox
- Valorant
I’m not much into competitive games myself, so the only one that’s inconvenient in this list to me is Roblox. There are a few really fun games on their platform that I wish I could play on Steam Deck, as used to be possible.
