- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 weeks ago:
I imagine there will be for some games, but it relies on the game developer implementing it. Whereas foviated streaming works for all games.

One of the shots of the steam machine had a “SoonTM” sticker

This is foviated streaming. The PC still renders everything at full, but the streaming compression is optimized for where you’re looking
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah same. I’ve seen other people stockpile intermediate resources to try and smooth out bottlenecks, but I think that’s wasteful. Build extra throughout, and have as little product sitting there as possible.

Factorio sucks for perfectionists. You have to be able to embrace the spaghetti, and not everyone can
- Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather? 3 weeks ago:
There’s no functional difference, we just use both terms. It’s a bit arbitrary, but generally once a mall is a mall we stick with that and vice versa. E.g. “Westfield St Lukes” is known as “St Lukes mall” colloquially by pretty much everyone.

Kiwi here. We have malls and shopping centers, but only mall Santas
- Comment on How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events? 4 weeks ago:
It either happens, or it doesn’t, or the chances are not equal.
That’s 50/50/50 or 1 in 3.
- 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 4 weeks ago:
Lutris for mods. You can point it at the game exe downloaded by steam in many cases (not all), and then run arbitrary exes inside the same wine prefix.

Steve: “Hey Jim, what did you say that other extraction shooter was called?”
Jim (muffled): “Escape from Tarkov”
Steve: “Oh yeah Escape from Duckov, thanks mate”

- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 1 year ago:
Nah this is pretty concrete. There’s a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries…
- Comment on "Quick" security check... I had to do 15 of these... 1 year ago:
To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.
- Comment on What is with these tv commercials about crepe skin? What are they even selling? Hey! I like French street food! I do not want to eat the skin of old people! 1 year ago:
Technically yes, but a french crepe would be unidentifiable to someone who had only seen American pancakes
