i saw this video and honestly their explanation of the chicken and egg problem was an mess.
fortunatelly i already knew what they were talking about, otherwise i would be quite confused and un informed.

Quoting: gradyvuckovicI would expect the Steam Deck announcement timed with the latest LTTs video, probably has something to do with it.

I also fully expect we will see more months of 'less than 1%', since we're 'well above the trend line' right now, but that's nothing to feel bad about. What matters is that the trend is good, we're inching higher. Eventually it will be normal to see months above 1%.

Next milestone: 2%!

sure, just wait more 30 years for the 2% mark

predictable.
now everything is on deck, its will be a big sucess, no questionsa bout it, the pre sale numbers already showed this (110k / 90 minutes, roughly 1 million a day maybe more) the question is:
will deck users install windows on it? or not?
if they do, then we will rely on proton forever to get more games, if they dont, then we finally can break the curse, the chicken and egg problem.

valve is puting the eggs out there, now we just need the chicken.
or its the opposite?

"Hello! I am Joshua Ashton and I like frogs. 🐸 I also work on DXVK, VKD3D-Proton and other graphics related stuff."
that frog reminds me of something


and that randomness reminds me of my self for some reason.

"but I will do the odd cleanup, issue investigation or feature implementation"
i'm impressed with my self for understanding what he means.

"I like that I get to work on a lot of different things, from DXVK and VKD3D-Proton, Vulkan Spec work, RADV, the back catalogue games and more -- I have a lot of trouble just working on one thing for a long time having the ability to move around helps me a lot."
looks like the industry has an place for people with TDAH like me

"If I was handed the game ported without ToGL, then in theory it would actually be easier in the end as DXVK Native is entirely drop-in and it just works, as it doesn’t require any of these workarounds."
that explain why valve gave up on convincing developers to do the half baked , semi native semi emulation port that they were using.
to just rely on proton instead.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: elmapuldigital foundry did an framerate count on some of the footage of games running on steam deck

I guess I found the wrong video, but still quite interesting:
Valve Steam Deck Spec Analysis: Can It Really Handle AAA PC Gaming? [External Link]
("Proton really needs to deliver!")

yes, wrong video, the video that i saw had ~1 hour, but just an small part of it was performance test

i wonder what they mean by run...
run without all the features (cutscenes from guilty gear, sound effects from trackmania etc) count as run? because according to protonDB it count, i hope they arent taking this site serious and they are doing some serious QA with an version of proton that isnt avaliable yet for public consumption (but i dont know what they would do that, maybe to caught microsoft by surprised and not let then have any time to react? wishfull thinking)
