Linux has been ready for a while now It's gaming that isn't ready

I'll take "Conversations that never happened" for $500, Alex.

Ppl complain because of a lack of 100% compability with all games. For most ppl if they know they can't play the game they want, they're not going to live without it just to make the switch when what their doing now is working.

I do find the steam deck is kind of buggy, at least for my use cases (usually docked, mostly used for emulation, and so on). But I'm thrilled that it exists, so I'm trying to support it as much as possible.

When does something become mainstream? The Steam Deck has sold millions of units.

Steam deck 2 with 1080p that can be (better) output to a TV.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

We'd need a suitably powerful APU upgrade in order to make running a 1080p screen viable. Most of the reason the Steam Deck performs as well as it does is because games are only rendering at 720p.

My wishlist for a Deck V2 would be a

  • Higher res screen (if it makes sense as I mentioned above)
  • Higher refresh with VRR (partially handled by thr OLED 90hz but no VRR)
  • Second USB-C port supporting USB4
  • Fingerprint reader
  • QoL improvements like smaller bezel, modern wireless chipset, etc.

AND a Steam Controller v2 as a companion with the exact same buttons/sticks/touchpads as the Deck.

you thinking like, mini hdmi port directly in the chassis? or just an hdmi to usb-c adapter in every box?

also have you seen the aftermarket screen upgrade? it looks great, but apparently the (already kinda slim) battery life really suffers. I’m still very tempted hahaha

I could have sworn the last panel in this meme said "Stop having fun". Mandela effect?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There are two versions of this meme drawn in almost the same artstyle. Here's the one this meme is based on, which says "quit having fun":

This is in fact a redraw of an XKCD cartoon which is one panel and thus harder to make memes out of which says "stop having fun":

It's not just you.

Mandela effect. It's always been Quit. Stop just sounds more natural

reddit bros would literally rather believe they slipped through the cracks in reality than that they misremembered one word for its synonym pathetic

Darth Vader may or may not have said "Luke, I am your father", but he said something to that effect

running bannerlord with mods just fine, because some hero had already done the work for me and just gave me the terminal commands to make everything function sicko-tux

That is the best hexbear emote I have seen to date!

trump-drenched We have the best emotes, folks. The redditors said that we couldnt have them, the lemmitors said we couldnt have them. But who has them now? tromp
