My laptop is pretty…pants


Even too "pants" (had to look up this one :) ) to act as a client for the streaming?
I tried it a couple times, didn't end well on the craptop. My phone is waaay more powerful heh, such is the way with tech.

Edit: I should have mentioned that sitting back with a phone/tablet, especially when ill, is far nicer than a laptop sat on your lap (IMO).

I didn't notice any difference at all to the Steam Controller and I've used the Steam Controller for a very long period of time now. So the signal quality seems fine.

What's that? Another Steam Client Beta update? With a Linux platform filter? Yes it is

I don't understand why a sale event has any bearing on the beta? The store is the same in any client.
They will be adding new ways to notify of events during sales like this. See here: https://twitter.com/tomasduda/status/1176808758338568195 [External Link]

You legend, I missed that comment somehow. As much as I appreciate people doing AUR packages, they really should check the deps <_<

Quoting: NezchanJust curious, if you have Steam Play enabled for all titles does the beta version of the library still count EVERY game in your library as SteamOS/Linux? I find that really annoying in the current release version.
Yes. That is exactly what the option is designed to do.

Oh give it a damn rest. It's a game, it's not supposed to be entirely factual, just get over it already. This attitude some people have towards women in games is just so pathetic. Take it elsewhere.

Quoting: StrykaiNice playing it in native Linux. Now all we need is to be able to host a game with Parsec in Linux, although the price for this game is not too high so I guess I could try to convince Steam friends to purchase it for some online fun!
Why do you need Parsec? It has online play already.

I'm not talking snippets of History :huh:
I'm talking the political correctness ideology that's been impregnating the gaming industry. Although it's most visible in games like Battlefield V it's also introduced more stealthy in many other games and other forms.
Sounds more like you're just being a fool. You made an argument that was wrong, plain and simple. Women were in WW2 across the world, look it up, there's info on it everywhere. Suck it up.

"Eastern Europe"
There were plenty of women in military roles across EE during WW2, that's a literal fact.

"alternative WW2 setting"
Do people not read?
