This is the second desktop PC they’ve released, no?
No. They have never designed a desktop before. The original Steam Machine was mainly a branding program for system integrators coupled with the release of the original Steam OS.

You can mod that out really easily

No long campaigns in VR.
I recently watched a video where some dude had the VR treadmill and used it for Skyrim VR 2hrs per day for months

Though I wonder if making a docked Deck be on equal footing with the Machine would have been a better use of R&D.
No, it would not. Buulding a Steam Deck that’s 6x more powerful (the claimed comparison for the Steam Machine) is NOT possible with today’s technology. For anyone.
The Steam Deck has to be hand portable and get somewhat decent battery life. That leaves little little space for a cooling solution. You cannot beat thermodynamics.

You can see that each face is about the size an adult male’s hand, so it’s about 6" per edge

I’ve installed on a separate SSD.
Thankfully that should prevent most issues of Windows fucking up dual-booting

Hosting servers isn’t free.
And it’s game devs that pay for the multiplayer server upkeep, not the storefronts.
And I highly doubt that any money spent on XBox Live or PSN subscriptions was ever sent their way.
This is just flimsy defense for greed

The original DS released almost 21 years ago. Because of that, the patent is now in the public domain, hence why products like this can be sold now

TBF, the dude has made millions off the game, and he doesn’t make the updates paid dlc. He just keeps adding to SDV because he loves it

but Wikipedia does say that the Deck has HDMI out
No, it has USB 3.0 type-C that’s capable of video output

The patent troll you’re referring to is SCUD (fuck those guys and fuck their owners, Corsair).
Thankfully, Valve won the appeal in their lawsuit a few years back and the patent is no longer valid. Unfortunately, the damage was already done
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 weeks ago:
It also raises levels of LDL cholesterol, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
This is completely ignoring that there’s multiple varieties of LDL cholesterol, some of which are benign. And basic blood draws don’t differentiate them, you need more detailed blood tests.
They are also low in dietary fiber, possibly causing constipation.
Dietary fiber is not an essential nutrient. Not only that, when I went carnivore for 2 months, after the first week of acclimation I was more regular than I have ever been in my life.
A carnivore diet high in red meat increases the risks of colon cancer and gout.
The study referenced is an epidiological study based on surveys of people that were asked to recall what they’ve eaten for the past 30 years. This resulted in clearly erroneous data where average daily calory intake was wildly off from average human requirements.
And you’re not supposed to draw conclusions from epidemiological studies with results lower than a 100% risk increase (aka doubling risk). The result of this study was 18%.
At best, this study should have been used to propose a more focussed double-blind study on the subject. But they didn’t. The WHO should be ashamed for platforming this trash study as if it’s 6-sigma physics results
The high protein intake of a carnivore diet can lead to impaired kidney function
The amount of protein that you’d need to eat to make this a problem is far beyond what a normal human could eat in a day. You’d die from rabbit starvation before it’d get that far. This study is like the one rat study claiming that asperthame causes cancer, but they were giving the rats 1000x the dose a normal human would consume if you corrected for body weight.

This is huge Bro energy with little understanding of AI and they are fully on the hype train.
Aparently one of the companies that made the purchase is owned by Jared Kushner. You’re probably spot on with that assessment
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 5 weeks ago:
The problem is that Steam Game Mode has spotty support for Nvidia GPU’s, hence why I recommended against booting into it directly

Exasperated Sigh
I understand the frustration, but this isn’t helpful.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 5 weeks ago:
I have good news and bad news.
Bad news is that Steam OS doesn’t work well with Nvidia GPU’s due to how optimized it currently is for handheld APU’s
Good news is that Bazzite is effectively the same OS and has an install option that includes Nvidia GPU drivers.
If you’re up for installing Bazzite, I recommend picking the dropdown to not boot into Steam Gaming Mode. Every other choice should be rather straightforward. After that, make a bootable flashdrive and put the installer on there.
As for your GOG games, like others said you can use Heroic Games Launcher to run them, alongside games from EGS, EA, Itch.io, etc.

The hell does “piracy against big companies” even mean?
Paying for indies while pirating AAA isn’t that hard of a concept to wrap your head around. Sounds more like a “you” problem
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 5 weeks ago:
I’m planning on yo-ho’ing CP2077, but no way an I paying even if I enjoy it. CDPR has fucked me over enough with The Witcher trilogy that they owe me a free game to make up for the time and money wasted.
After that, I might be willing to give them money again for something else, but I’m not paying for Cyberpunk
