When will Valve start selling the Steam Deck in China? It's strange to ignore such a big market.

Time to move on and stop playing Nintendo games. There are plenty of alternative games.

All older games being sold in Germany on Steam now require a content rating

Maybe they should just use the highest rating (R, 21+, etc?) as the default for any game with no rating.

So, maybe with Ubuntu 24.10 I'll be using open source nVidia drivers. Sweeeeet.

When will companies realize that the only way to create proper anti-cheat is to do server side AI based anticheat?

HELLDIVERS 2 is out - here's how to run it on Steam Deck / Linux
19 Feb 2024 at 8:37 pm UTC

Quoting: Brokatt
Quoting: sarmadWhy would a game with no online competitive mode need an anti-cheat? Sounds dumb to me.
Your statement is a little naive. The first Helldivers had no anti-cheat and they had huge problems with cheaters. People unlocking infinite resources for themselves and also everyone they played with, thus ruining the progression for a lot of people.

Can you clarify? How would unlocking infinite resources for yourself affect someone else? If they are not playing in your game they shouldn't be affected, and if they are playing with you they should already know you and they can simply not play with you if you are a loser who can't play without cheats. It's not like you are playing competitive and your rating would be affected by losing to someone who is cheating. Am I missing something?

More details on the Manjaro Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld
16 Feb 2024 at 7:33 pm UTC

This is pretty interesting specs. I think the main advantage this has over the Steam Deck is the smaller form factor. It has better specs than the Steam Deck but that could be a negative thing depending on its effect on battery life. On the other hand Steam Deck gets many advantages over this including OLED screen, OS features for managing performance, and potentially longer battery life. So, I think it's gonna be a tough competition, but I wish them success.
