Still waiting on my may 9th reservation to be processed while others are doing silly stuff like this... Come on! 😁

Just finished a Just Cause 3 run. Cloud saves confirmed. I played it on my Steam Deck and my pc, alternating between them, without issues.

It's an old game so it runs close to 60fps with high graphics, on Steam Deck.

Destruction mayhem! 😊

Quoting: PyronickLet's hope this entices Android/Google TV app developers to finally hop over to true Linux.

This! A Google/Apple free TV box. Something I've been dreaming about a lot, lately.

It will probably irritate some of you, but I used AI to help me build my Nextcloud, Pi-hole and Wireguard instances. It also helped me configure my router consequently and install GraphenOS on my Pixel 7a phone. I corrected it's missteps along the way, but If I could do all that stuff with a local personnal AI, not linked to the untrustworthy Big Techs, I'd be willing to give it a go.

Quoting: Linux_RocksNot about to weep for Valve if they lose.

Yes. I guess it's important to keep in mind that evil deeds don't suddenly become less evil when a company does them that we might otherwise find sympathetic.

Lootboxes or other dark designs have no place in games, and if developers don't change their ways voluntarily, it's perfectly fine to have to courts/lawmakers force them to. Even if it's Valve.

Yep. Totally right. Valve deserves to be held responsible, in this particular case (lootboxes), but the current news is not about lootboxes.

Quoting: pbSteam also sells soundtracks and has a built-in music player, maybe that's what they're trying to exploit?

You have definitely a point (or two, actually).

But I guess the soundtracks *are* licensed, by the producer/publisher of the soundtrack itself. Or else, the producer/publisher could not sell it in the first place!

About the music player, yes, that's a possibility. It means that every digital music player ever (including Windows Media Player, VLC, WinAMP, etc.) should license every possible song in the remote possibility it could be used to play one?

What about other stores selling videogames - dunno, Amazon, EGS, GOG, the various app stores? They should license every song in every product they sell as well?

Should the likes of Walmart get a licence for selling physical medias (CD)?! Yea! It's still a thing.

All that stuff is pure nonsense.

Did the update and lost all my games, on the main nvme partition. I was even asked to re-login. I'm currently reinstalling my Steam Games. No problem for non Steam games like my emulation setup, though.

I was wondering what to remove... Valve solved the issue! 😄

Quoting: MohandevirI'm starting to hope for a barebone version of the Steam Machine. I already have a 2tb nvme to put in that thing. Soddim would be pricey, but I would be willing to take it on me. I want the Steam Machine extras (wake from controller/suspend resume, low noise level, etc...)

The idea is good... for a startup or a pc store, not a serious player and not someone trying to take on consoles, so I wouldn't count on it.

You are totally right.

In fact, I didn't get to the bottom of my tought because of the prospect which would be really sad, but I'm worried about the launch window: If the bubble doesn't burst soon enough, Valve might get stuck with an hardware overstock (remember the Steam Link eol?)... I would like to have the chance to buy a barbone version, in these conditions.

But let's trust in Valve, they'll figure it out.

I've never bought a game on Playstation, for myself. It's not going to change. Sony doesn't want my money? So be it. It's been fun while it lasted.
