Xbox is locked down and barely has any security issues on user hardware.
- Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away 3 days ago:
Not a single Microsoft game runs natively an Windows ARM.
- Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away 3 days ago:
Also it’ll be running windows
Xbox’s Windows is not the same as PC Windows.
- Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away 3 days ago:
So, Microsoft – how’s Windows for ARM coming?
Phil Spencer doesn’t even know his employer makes ARM computers. Not even Microsoft Solitaire Collection has a native ARM port.
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 4 days ago:
Probably not. The main culprit is probably the bundled, Chromium-based web renderer (CEF), not Steam itself.
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 4 days ago:
My Steam Deck runs most games just fine.
- Comment on Premium Ads 5 days ago:
I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it’s a fluke but def unacceptable
That’s among the reasons why even with premium an ad blocker is required.

Doesn’t Kanye realize Fuentes is a white supremacist?
Fuentes sounds like a Latino name. Trump should have him deported.

- Comment on Nintendo has lowered its Switch forecast after sales fell 31% 1 week ago:
Also the market is pretty saturated at this point. People who want a Switch got one years ago.
- Comment on Nintendo has lowered its Switch forecast after sales fell 31% 1 week ago:
Backwards compatibility on both Xbox and PlayStation cause problems as well.
By default Steam Deck users are presented with the “Best on Deck” tab in the store which is for verified games only.
Deck allows for tinkering and unverified games but it’s not the default experience. As a daily Deck user you should be aware of that.
- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 1 week ago:
For decades scales worked just fine without any electricity. Maybe get one of those.
- Comment on Seeking input on .io ccTLD removal 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, our guidelines reserve two-letter TLDs for use by countries only.
Soon:
Fortunately, guidelines are not laws and we’ve got loads of money from Elon Musk who’ll now control that TLD.

- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 5 weeks ago:
And yet somehow I still doubt we’ll see it until Linux gets a much higher marketshare.
CD Project is doing nothing to improve that market share, hence why I don’t care to spend any money on GOG.

GOG is funding the FOSS Heroic Games Launcher through an affiliate partnership
GOG has an affiliate links program. Heroic signed up for that. GOG isn’t specifically funding Heroic. Wake me up when CD Project / GOG is hiring a developer of Mesa or something along those lines. You know, an actual part of the technology foundation that’s being used by a wide range of Linux distributions.
An office worker sitting at a desk somewhere at a Linux-running PC is benefiting from technology advancements upstreamed by Valve as part of Steam Deck performance improvements.

Steam is not the evil corporation people pretend it is.
Indeed. They’re not saints either but for my personal demands, they offer the best arguments right now. I rank funding improvements to the FOSS Linux stack higher than a DRM-free pile of shame. That may change in the future but for now I prefer Steam over GOG. CD Project is a rich company. They could make a Linux version of Galaxy, put it onto Flathub, make it behave well under Steam Deck Game Mode, and put a tiny fraction of their revenue into Linux improvements.
- Comment on Tencent, Guillemot Family Said to Consider Buyout of Ubisoft 1 month ago:
Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a rare gem from Ubi.
You’re probably right (I never played it). Completely forgot about it.
- Comment on Tencent, Guillemot Family Said to Consider Buyout of Ubisoft 1 month ago:
Maybe Ubisoft should for once make a good game (OK, Rayman Raving Rabbids for Wii was a fun romp for a bit). I’m constantly baffled how a company this shitty that’s constantly making super derivative games got so big in the first place.

Not anymore:
- Comment on Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down 1 month ago:
Nintendo wouldn’t be able to go after him for like DMCA type route.
Old school suing about “aiding and abetting” piracy until the defendant has no money left to pay lawyers works pretty much all over the world.
- Comment on Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down 1 month ago:
It’s my understanding that the creator took a payout.
AFAIK the only statement so far is “agreement” and that that can also mean a legally binding document to take down Ryujinx and never again develop Nintendo emulators or get sued to the moon and back, ie. “sign here of financial ruin”.

API wrappers are not emulators.

Remember when mandatory Bethesda account in Doom64 was “just a bug” and then Doom Eternal had it for real?

- Comment on I don't understand why underbaked borderline raw cookies are such a popular trend. 1 month ago:
A few minutes at 70°C is enough to kill germs. The dough stays uncooked. Obviously that needs to be controlled. Somehow I doubt they stuck a thermometer in there.

Some vegans got into a fight over cat food. Whether or not you agree that cats can be fed with vegan alternatives, it’s still just cat food.
