I guess so! I do use steam input. I bet it’s because I use a PS5 controller with Destiny 2. Even though it’s a Sony game, I don’t get native support.

I didn’t use a keyboard and mouse once.

All controllers or VR controllers.

Yeah, this might make reminders work for me.

They drown on my lock screen and over the years I’ve found them less effective at times. Push notifications, man.

This is in part because of electron.

Even Steam is a chromium app. 😥

As someone who is trying to climb out of this hole, I can back up your sentiment.

Being acclimated to shitty food, and thinking flavor is just sharp strong sensations in your mouth is one thing that perpetuates over consuming fast food. Your brain gets trained to crave the dopamine rush that the sensations of fast food briefly cause.

ARM is so hot right now.

Seriously, consumer devices are all slowly moving in that direction. Valve sees where things are going.

It’s a sort of in-group cringe.

Meeerrroowwww!

I’m sorry 😔

The Steam deck is portable first. So I assume they don’t expect you to dangle a drive off of it.

That said, I bet the Steam Machine will get them to rethink this, and hopefully the changes come to the Deck too.

I love how the NPM CEO gave him the tool/command to remove all his work from the platform. What a dummy.

I also support the idea that he should be allowed to remove his work. It should have been republished according to the license. With a forked new name. IMO. But I know what a nightmare that would be.

It’s missing the latent bug.

I think a migration to a properly provisioned community is a better idea. It seems Voyager and other clients don’t display whatever you supposedly changed by default. (I know, the display name).

Changing the display name isn’t enough. And I don’t think “the community is too small” is a good excuse to mangle this one.

IIRC, it wasn’t a terrible game. It just wasn’t a unique enough game to compete in the space. Just another hero shooter. Just another live service. And thus it failed to meet overinflated expectations. Sony didn’t give it any time to grow or adapt.

Sony went all in on live service games, expecting them to all do gangbusters and to do so for forever. Their high expectations are slipping and failing to be met with Destiny. They bought Bungie for live service games too.

Oh, and Marathon. That one is in a precarious spot. Being delayed after an unexpectedly rough public beta.

I’m aware of Valve being very generous with warranty/replacements of controller hardware for the Index. Even years after the warranty is up. But I think this is because of the major durability issues and known defects that the Index Controllers have.

In any case, Valve seemingly has lost money on a certain percentage of Valve Index kits/controller hardware. Based on how many people I know, including myself, who have gotten replacement hardware from Valve. Sometimes many times for recurring issues.

But I’m not aware of Valve doing the same for the Deck.

Edit: and you can tell they focused really hard on making the new controllers more durable:

• No charging port to melt
• durable sticks that won’t start drifting
• No special finish on the controller that can be worn/scratched away
• No internal battery to go bad
• seemingly far fewer delicate parts

Funny point on the melting charging port. 2 years or so after the Index came out, SteamVR started warning using with a status dialog that told users to stop charging their controllers while they use them. They never accounted for long play sessions and people who would want to charge while playing.

USB-C has durability issues when used like that.

Steam is flooded with indie games, yeah.

I did the same! But never got caught.

I would take the txt guides for RPG games and print them on the laser printers at my high school.

I saved paper by printing them 4 sheets to a single page.

I finally had a definition stick when I heard Dan Harmon yell that Trump is a fascist on his old podcast. Back during the first term. In 2017 IIRC.

I’m part of the problem, I guess, considering I was in my early 30s.

Five year olds know how a store works.

Five year olds won’t figure out how to pirate a game.
