WHAT

Curious about what a "subscription" means, though.

(notice they're calling it the "HoloISO System" now)
It's just bad translation. Subscribe for like a newsletter with updates.

Quoting: legluondunetIt would be interesting to know if they pay a fee to Valve to use Steam OS on their device. in this case, the cost of the royalties must be lower than if they used the Windows operating system and they would save the costs of creating their own gaming-oriented operating system, which would explain this surprising decision.
Why would they pay a fee?

Valve will be happy about this, as it increases the marketshare for SteamOS.

How’s the performance on Steam Deck? Can you get stable 60fps at low TDP?
I have the setting on high. With 10 watts you get like high 80 fps, with 11 watts 90 fps all the time.

edit: Just tested some more... at least when you use the "celebration" environment with the fireworks and tons of particles it can drop down to about 65 fps even at 15 watts. Never went below that for me, but still at high settings.

Quoting: Mountain Man$40 seems unreasonably expensive for a Tetris game.
Get it on sale then in a few days.

Liam Dawe]I've actually never played this one, am I missing out on something here?
It's absolutely amazing. The "campaign" is a lot of fun, the extra modes are varied and challenging and they even have the classic NES score attack with the old ruleset.

Best Tetris game out there. The VR mode is neat too.

Quoting: kuhpunktStill no word from Valve regarding the audio jack :/
What's your issue with the audio jack? Seems to work just fine for me.
There's some weird crackling noise/static, apparently due to grounding. Depending on your headphones it can be much worse. It's only on the OLED model.

Lots of threads on reddit, like this one:

So what the heck is an 'indie game' nowadays anyway?

How about just abandoning categories and just refering to them as games?
