My pc is getting old (like me) so looks like I'll be playing at 1080p low

Hope they eventually remove denuvo like they have done in the past, and I wonder if this will get an sdk like Eternal?

I wonder how wine is now with the resident evil 1 remake on steam

That's one that I remember having issues with video playback years ago

Intel and NVIDIA drivers holding back a public SteamOS release, Valve not trying to compete with Windows

Even with proprietary drivers steam big picture mode is unusable for me on my main nvidia desktop

I never considered steamos or linux in general as a way to "kill" windows but rather give people the choice, and I for one have loved embracing the open-source, community driven ideology behind Linux, where-as windows hasn't done anything innovative or good since like Windows 7

I've been having a great time with batocera, turning old office pcs and the like into little retro gaming consoles

Things like sinden lightgun and racing wheels are pretty plug and play too

Both this and pilet look insanely cool

I do like the discussions around how cool it'd be to have a little open source linux phone

Had my midrange phone about 6 years and needing an upgrade, mostly because it's battery is starting to go but honestly would love something more open-source

Same reason I never bought a tablet, not a big fan of how closed down they are, so I'd love a little open source tablet like the pilet as well

Sony buy up KADOKAWA shares to become largest shareholder of the FromSoftware parent company

Quoting: KlaasThe name of the Sony president has to be the Japanese equivalent to Mäxchen Müller in German (i.e. a generic placeholder name).

My question is: Does anyone else think that Sony has lost the ability to innovate? It seems that they are stuck with randomly buying some successful company, closing it if there isn't a massive revenue stream at once and then switching to the next target…
I feel they lost it years ago, at least for me

I grew up with ps1, then ps2 in my teen years and the amount of fun games hold alot of memories

But things like the GOW reboots and Last of Us ect isn't my cup of tea, I want fun platformers, or quirky games like Mr.mosquito, or super rub a tub on the ps3

Apart from astro bot there's not really much on the ps5 that makes me feel I need to buy one

and even things like the anniversary themes that appeal to someone like me, its time limited apparently! What a shame
