insert redpill and blue pill scene from matrix here.

gamers have to do an hard choice:
an future where games get more expensive as time passes, or where games get cheaper.

an future were we have an monopoly of an game for an specific mechanic or where competition make the games improve.

seriously nintendo, every day you give us another reason to not purchase your products.

Interesting not to see fedora on there ... this is apparently what comes from protondb:

https://boilingsteam.com/linux-distros-in-march-2025-a-new-challenger-emerges/ [External Link]

which is mostly similar, but with the notable difference of fedora?

speaking of this site, i was reading the article :
https://boilingsteam.com/the-steam-deck-is-back-in-stock-in-japan/ [External Link]

and the end of the article:

These are machines you are supposed to play with, but the level of incompetence of the staff is abysmal. The ROG Ally X had no games that you could run - it was basically a useless brick in demonstration. The Steam Deck had at least several games playable, but it was turned off (or in sleep mode) and did not react until you pressed the power button. I doubt that most visitors would know how to operate it if it was their first time.

looks like valve and the other companies need to step up their game, puting an product at an store is not enough, sure many people know what windows is and what it does, but they cant know how powerfull an device gonna be to play an game with an good performance just looking at specs and the desktop enviroment that is awful to navigate on this device.

and steam deck being in sleep mode, sigh.

i miss the times when sport games were made for gamers, not for sport fans only, i cant care less about some famous nba person, i do care about character creators that allow us to make monsters like that:

not to mention other issues, like lootboxes , and seling the same game every year.

hopefully indies still got the spirit

the success of this might be more important than the success of steamdeck, i mean, if an thirdy party see they can sell well, others might follow, and since valve wont be launching an new steam deck every year, any competitive disadvantage they have due to it will be nullified by other vendors puting steamOS on their devices.
if that happens, the year has come.

on the other hand, one of the issues is that steamdeck is the only with 2 good trackpads, if it sell more, then more games might start supporting they.

this is good, but is just an reminder of how our ecosystem was lacking compared to windows.

"its not about runing games, but running apps that improve the experience of the games, like moding that add more options to the game (eg: now you can create your own levels, now you can futher customize the look of the houses in the sims or this other game) now you can record your matches on league of legends in an lightweight format, that you can later playback in order to convert it to a proper video format, now you can install mods on your mods"

we were so focused on having gaming parity that we forgot the iceber is way deeper, our ecosystem is not even close yet, but we are geting there once we have the most popular things (like the games thenselves) and a bit more marketshare we get the derivative content as well, developers start paying atention.

the name here dont make any sense

on japan there is
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When the Cicadas Cry)
Umineko no Naku Koro ni (When the Seagulls Cry)
Ciconia no Naku Koro ni (When the Storks Cry)

when they relased Higurashi here, the distributor tried to change the name to "when they cry" wich messed the name, i couldnt confirm an name change, but i think they added the "higurashi", "umineko" and "circonia" terms later on on the western version, because it wouldnt make sense to pretend that umineko was an sequel to higurashi (especially because if the author relased an new higurashi it would be impossible to name it ,in fact i remember that this issue occured but couldnt confirm searching for the old names , so maybe my memory is playing tricks on me )

naku also have a double meaning.

anyway, higurashi is an great anime (at least the old seassons, looks like the new ones are trash, at least that is what my friend who recomended the original told me, despite that it was quite popular among people who never saw the original)

i still have to play the games, but for umineko, er... the anime is really crazy, it feels like they skiped the explanation of a lot of things and skiped a lot of things from the games only to end up without an conclusion, its good for those who want to be confused, but playing the game probably is a better option.
