A popular streamer Lirik revisited the game 4 months ago and it was completely chocked-to-the-brim with bugs. Like literally every few minutes there was a bug, including several immediately when he began the game.

Gambling for JPEGs on a screen that cannot be resold and will be taken from you at a moments notice. This is a billion-dollar industry btw. God people are stupid.

Ever hear of “Chase Two Rabbits, Catch None”? Reminds me of George R. R. Martin talking about writing the last two ASOIAF books at the same time. Just… finish your fucking product please.

Games are the only software I purchase these days

Is there anything stopping something like connecting your credit card to GNOME Software Manager and then putting a big fat “donate” button next to the “install” button? I imagine there are legal considerations.

Games have actually gotten cheaper over time adjusted for inflation even as production costs have risen, it’s crazy. A NES game in today’s money would be around $160.

This is just CS:GO finally evolving from the CoD brown-tinged visuals of 2007-2013

All you do is update your current system, change your repo sources to whatever branch you want, then do a full-upgrade. For branches there is stable, testing, and unstable (called sid). They don’t recommend you use sid for everyday use, things can be buggy (currently sid is on GNOME 44 at any rate). Instructions

Counter Strike has been the same game for 23 years, basically every new game is an “update”. Porting the game to Source 2 is the single biggest thing that has happened to Counter Strike since 2004 when they moved from GoldSrc, so might as well brand it as a new game.

Do you just look for things to get mad at? This hasn’t even been implemented yet. Even if it had, it would be opt-in. And even if you opt-in, the data is all anonymous and you would be able to see exactly the data that gets sent out. If Fedora or anyone else really wanted to spy on you, I assure you they wouldn’t let you know beforehand.

Obviously that’s a stigma Capcom is trying to break through. Most phones/tablets these days are even more powerful than a Switch, yet people pay $60 for games on the Switch but not on phones?

…why would it cost less? It’s $60 everywhere else.

Ok, not a typo. Other than the title of these patch notes, is it referred to as “Steam Deck OS” anywhere else? On Preview branch the distro still says “SteamOS Holo”.

The fact is that they are rebranding it to Steam Deck OS.

As far as I know they’ve said nothing about that. It’s reasonable to say that the title is a typo for a couple reasons.

1. They’ve stated they want SteamOS on third-party devices before
2. There’s also the rumored VR headset running SteamOS as well

Two use cases for the OS that have nothing to do with Steam Deck, so “Steam Deck OS” makes no sense as a name. I personally think they are waiting for Plasma 6+HDR support+VR support before they ship a desktop version, it’s important to have feature-parity with Windows out the gate for good word-of-mouth.

“SteamOS” is mentioned twice in the actual patch notes

I used to just seed Epic exclusives. Now there aren’t any Epic exclusives*. Coincidence? I think not.

*Other than Kingdom Hearts grrr

going into a menu on windows to change some settings once is a bridge too fucking far

“Once”. Yeah right.

That’s an app launcher, not a systems tray

If you minimize a window, it goes into a list of “Background Apps” in the charms menu where the only option you have is to close it. There’s no native systems tray.
