I mean, Qt for example?

It does remove easy Linux compatibility. Also you can run any storefront on steam deck, so not sure what your point is about hardware

As opposed to older ones failing in obvious and fixable ways

Deadlock is a fantastic game, albeit unreleased

Cloudflare would host it for effectively free

I imagine there will be for some games, but it relies on the game developer implementing it. Whereas foviated streaming works for all games.

One of the shots of the steam machine had a “SoonTM” sticker

This is foviated streaming. The PC still renders everything at full, but the streaming compression is optimized for where you’re looking

Yeah same. I’ve seen other people stockpile intermediate resources to try and smooth out bottlenecks, but I think that’s wasteful. Build extra throughout, and have as little product sitting there as possible.

Factorio sucks for perfectionists. You have to be able to embrace the spaghetti, and not everyone can

Lutris for mods. You can point it at the game exe downloaded by steam in many cases (not all), and then run arbitrary exes inside the same wine prefix.

Steve: “Hey Jim, what did you say that other extraction shooter was called?”

Jim (muffled): “Escape from Tarkov”

Steve: “Oh yeah Escape from Duckov, thanks mate”

Nah this is pretty concrete. There’s a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries…

Not sure whether timeshift supports multiple systems per partition, but I’d be very surprised if you couldn’t create separate partitions for each PC

Exactly. Agile is basically guaranteed to deliver something.

The real question is how fit-for-purpose is the resulting product.

They provide .deb files. I didn’t hunt any further than that

You will be fine. I game on mint with an Nvidia card. Steam has a setting to fall back to proton for all games without native Linux, and for everything off steam use Lutris (install it from the website, since the package manager version is too old to be useful)

The dark mode on this site… Hardest I’ve laughed in a while. A+ trolling

Edit: only works on desktop by the looks
