@jta_theideaman @BR_Opossum @Techjunkie_Aman ... works one way on Steam so will probably work differently on Bazzite and vice versa.
English
@jta_theideaman @BR_Opossum @Techjunkie_Aman Bazzite isn't actually steam os. It uses some components and emulates the look and feel, but SteamOS is Arch based and Bazzite is Fedora based. Nothing wrong with that. I use Bazzite on my Desktop as well, but it's important to keep the difference in mind, as something that...

SteamOS just quietly turned into a nightmare for Windows handhelds.
Valve added:
• ASUS ROG Ally support
• Lenovo Legion Go support
• MSI Claw support
• OneXPlayer support
• VRR + HDR
• TDP controls
• BIOS + firmware updates
• Wayland by default
• Linux kernel 6.16
• lower controller latency
• better GPU memory management
And buried in the changelog:
“Initial support for upcoming Steam Machine hardware.”
This is no longer “Steam Deck software.”
Valve is building a universal gaming OS for handheld PCs.

@smesho_bg @SebAaltonen They cost billions to build (a single Lithography machine is half a billion). And there is only one company, ASML that makes high end Lithography machines. Building a new chip factory can easily take half a decade.
English
@SebAaltonen What I don't understand is, if demand for chips is enough to warrant an increase of 10 TIMES, then why isn't everyone building new chip factories like crazy?

This Steam Machine discussion highlights the hopeless state of gaming hardware today. We had awesome 3 decades. Hardware giants were designed advanced chips for us. Today, CPUs, GPUs and RAM have massive professional demand. Cloud servers started it and crypto and AI expanded it to GPUs. We will never get cheap top tier hardware anymore. Professionals are willing to pay 10x more for the biggest chips. That is the sad reality for gamers. We all thought that 1699€ RTX 4090 and $699 PS5 Pro were overpriced at launch, but today those feel like great investments. I will be using mine for a long time. The $399 PS5 launch price feels like a distant memory. It's a 5 year old console now, and it's faster than rumored Steam Hardware specs. Steam Hardware likely ends up being 2x the price. We used to get almost 10x faster hardware every 5 years (PS2->PS3->PS4->PS5), at similar price. Not anymore.
Moore's Law Is Dead@mooreslawisdead
@TimSweeneyEpic Well the truth is sometimes "harsh". And the truth of this matter is that it doesn't matter how @Valve got there, the price is too high. There is simply a pricing threshold for every product, that once crossed, makes it unviable. Valve sprinted past that line.

We just posted a letter from the Subnautica 2 team to the community, addressing some key feedback since launch! 📝

Why are people getting mad that they’re not the apex predator in “you’re on an alien planet and you’re no longer the apex predator” the game

Subnautica 2 devs say "go play Sons of the Forest" if you don't like its lack of violence. The game focuses on underwater exploration, and you cannot kill most creatures. On the official Discord, one player asked why killing is impossible in SN2 as it makes no sense. Level designer Artyom O’Rielly replied, “This is not a killing game, so go play Sons of the Forest if you want to kill.” Another developer said, “The team discusses this a lot inside the studio and may let players catch small fish for food, but large creatures will stay safe so the game feels right.” This idea comes from the first Subnautica, as the team wants players to discover things, feel wonder, and live with ocean life instead of fighting it. A fan-made mod already lets players kill creatures, and the studio is reading all feedback. It plans to add better ways to scare off creatures but will not add weapons. Early access is expected to last up to 3 years.

@vh_wes @SoupyFresh There is an explanation: deadly weapons (the survival knife) were removed from the replicator, after there was a massacre among colonists. You could even spin the whole thing into the mega corporation trying to control the people, by taking away the last remaining...

@Biel_Sant_Souza @Subnautica Where do you get the 11 years from? The last Subnautica (Below Zero) was released in 2021 and got it's last big update in late 2022.
English
@Subnautica What the fuck did you guys do with one of my favorite games. 😡😡 Unreal engine 5 is a fucking trash. The game has lost the essence of Subnautica. Besides that, you had 11 years to make it and launched the game fucking incomplete. I'mma refund it.

Over 1 million Subnauts have already dived into Subnautica 2 🤯
We can't thank you enough for your support!

@Ekaxzo @RightofWoke1 @MemesToSave I highly doubt them lasting far longer. A common linden tree can easily get over 500 years old.
English
@RightofWoke1 @MemesToSave Trees take time, money, and water to grow aswell, taking years for a single tree that can be snapped by something as simple as the wind. These machine can provide as much O2 as 50 trees, while being built in a day and lasting far longer.

@Phantom_Gabe @dupa_i_hu @bxn45I @Gandeloft @Pirat_Nation How is it "pirated", if they accidentally published it themselves.
English
@dupa_i_hu @bxn45I @Gandeloft @Pirat_Nation people are still downloading a pirated game
before it's even officially out
so they know whoever is playing online before that date is a pirate
they did this with Halo Reach back in the day
(plus going online with a pirated copy is beyond fuckin dumb come on people)

@uncledoomer @lShmuckll My hometown was first mentioned in historical documents (by the same name it has today), in 1089.

@lShmuckll i get my bread at a local bakery in a village that predates the founding of most modern european states

i just realized that germans dont think american supermarkets have bread because they think we grocery shop at the gas station

these are in almost every supermarket chain here. this is what we mean when we say you don’t have bread in your grocery stores.

@iceforeyes @Lofty_Vtuber The Apple USB c thing, is because it's costly to develop two different versions and run two different factory lines. Here it's a software patch.

@iceforeyes @Lofty_Vtuber Or they just exclude European accounts/systems from it.

Nope, real talk, this shit legitimately pisses me off and I’ll tell you why
When you’re in the fucking military, video games are one of the only things you MIGHT get to enjoy while you’re deployed for 7+ months. So now what happens when a port call gets cancelled and you can’t lug your stupid fucking PS5 to the hotel to MAYBE get to connect to the wifi and update your shit? You lose all your fucking games.
Fuck you, Sony

Any PlayStation game purchased digitally after March's sytem update will reportedly now require an internet connection once every 30 days to validate the license 🎮 If the console stays offline longer than that, the games will not launch until you reconnect (via @MrZackXOfficial)

@shroudddddd @FlickerToons Because AI Datacenters drive up prices for electricity for people living around them. Compete for more and more scarce water.
While at the same time providing nothing to the people living close to them.

@IM0001 @Pirat_Nation This is a tightly integrated System, so the RAM is probably soldered.

@Pirat_Nation If they can offer a Barebones model that could help ease the blow for some. Buy the hardware, then shop around for ram and use storage you may already have collected from a better time...

Valve has reportedly made a major internal price hike for its upcoming Steam Machine.
New leaks from hardware expert Brad Lynch indicate that the Steam Machine has received the largest cost increase among Valve’s new hardware due to global shortages and price spikes in RAM and memory components for PCs.
Thanks to AI, the Steam Machine could now end up more expensive than the standalone Steam Frame VR headset when they launch.
That’s exactly the opposite of what Valve wanted to do in its initial plans.
Valve has already acknowledged delays and pricing reviews for these devices, but exact prices haven’t been revealed yet.
We should get official launch details for the full lineup soon.
