Kobo’s are much better

I used it yesterday, I had to jump through hoops just to launch a game. If it “just works now” I shouldn’t have to switch proton versions.

Ah, epic, the storefront that barely works on Linux. And steam, which on Linux ships with proton that may or may not work, why? Dunno 🤷‍♂️

I’d rather have something that works out of the box.

Less games? No, pretty much every popular third party game is on it.

It’s all relative.

For me, the price of a base steam machine is $1,509 CAD plus tax.

Even then, they’re constantly changing their wording (“delivers 4k60fps” to “up to 4k60fps”), and real world testing it doesn’t make sense for me to consider this.

The Switch 2 is more than half the price ($629 CAD without the bundle) and has subjectively better price to performance plus it can be docked: it’s basically a steam deck and steam machine in one console.

High school friend told me:

“Vertical for attention, horizontal for results”

That is true, two things can be true at once. I sometimes fail to realize that.

The website includes a quote from a Reddit employee:

Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.

I didn’t realize casually browsing a website is “abusive scraping”. Isn’t that the equivalent of claiming that reading a news article online is “abusive scraping”?

I would love to see data from the previous Iran war(s) and compare the stats to this one.

Microsoft also claims that the Series S can play games “up to 120fps”. We all know that’s the furthest from the truth.

My takeaway is to take what Valve say with a grain of salt and watch YouTube videos on performance before dropping money on it.
