Switched when the OG Steam Machines came out. It wasn’t great then. It wasn’t really good until Proton Steam integration. Became great after the fast iteration with the Steam Deck

I know the hot thing is Bazzite but if you want to use it as a desktop as well, please at least use Fedora Kinoite or Silverblue. Personally I use the latest Kubuntu release so now I’m on Kubuntu 25.10, will upgrade to 26.04 when prompted, do the same with 26.10. Update cycle not so different than the larger windows updates each year. Just that every now and then a new Windows software ports to Linux, it’ll almost always be a deb installer is reason enough to me to prefer Debian based distributions than Fedora or Arch especially for new users. Don’t need to get people to install distrobox and boxbuddy. Kubuntu should just be enabling flatpaks and flathub by default rather than it being a option in the software center settings

Still need to try this game. If you want a game way more like the main Pokemon games, Nexomon Extinction is good. Really looking forward to the third game

I’m betting on a $700/$800 Steam Deck 2 when that launches and that being a solid deal. PS6 and it’s rumored 36GB of memory, don’t hold your breath for a release

Don’t have anything recurring. More like random $10-20 thrown here and there. It’d probably be more often if it was all more integrated/streamlined. Pretty much the hyped up Flathub payments feature someday. I’d do that more often than patreon/opencollective/etc. I’ve had a patreon sub for a few projects over the years

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Schedule 1. Haven’t gotten it yet since it doesn’t seem like has good gamepad control support yet but it’s planned. Modern gaming in practice, not as what’s most marketed as gaming, to me reminds me of the PS1 and back. A lot of really game-y games. Systems that you get really into. Learn the exploits. The patterns. Get high scores. Max damage numbers. The PS3/PS4 era is the cinematic narrative era. The late PS4 to present is a gameplay heavy era. Narrative heavy games may get the traditional media awards but it’s been a long time since I’ve felt like traditional media has been good at judging games for their gameplay. They’re more like junior film media. Felt that way to me at least ever since Starcraft 2 was topping/gave birth to Twitch.tv and then League of Legends and Counter Strike GO

Settlement Survival is pretty solid. I played that for a bit since it has an android version and it was a nice use of waiting room time

Qualcomm support on Linux has been too mediocre and late to take it seriously so far over x86 products

I bought into AM5 first year with Zen 4. I’m pretty confident Zen 7 will be AM5. There’s got to be little chance for DDR6 to be priced well by the end of the decade. Confident that I’ll be on AM5 for 10+ years but way better than the Intel desktop I had for 10 years because I will actually have a great update path for my motherboard. AM4 is still relevant. That’s getting to almost 10 years now. It’ll still be a great platform for years to come. Really if you bought early in the life of first gen chips on the socket for AM4/AM5, you’re looking at a 15 year platform. Amazing

Hoping the Steam Machine can match the Steam Deck in success and get pre-build desktop/minipc wins like Lenovo having Steam OS versions of the Legion Go. Steam Frame dethrone the Meta Quest hopefully

Nice. Waiting for RVA23 boards with a PCI-E slot to become widely available so I can test out box64 on those

Windows is their #1 marketing platform for their other services. They crash and burned out of mobile and television so in the name of expanding their business into more and more subscription services, Windows is their only popular consumer platform and problem for them is that basic OS functionality that people want pretty much was reached with Windows XP. Everything new is an application that is easily installed afterwards or in a web browser. Packaging it into the basic Windows installation just bogs things down and makes it more busy. It’s a marathon. Linux will win eventually by having features and services out the box. Practically no services. No onedrive, o365, and copilot nagging

That newer open source driver is still far behind but is progressing. Those graphics cards will have a great new life with modern kernels someday

Proton threads are where the leftists equivalents to sovereign citizens pop up. Learn the technology a bit and about legal systems. That’s what you have to operate within. If you want to feel more in control, encrypt everything yourself and only communicate/share in encrypted channels. At least then the primary sources of leaks is you and the receiver. If not, you’re whining about streamlined performant services that will never be perfect enough for your standards because they operate legally rather than the user unfriendly solutions that you aren’t willing to operate yourself for your life (maybe to be passed on) and/or won’t run/can’t afford to operate the illegal operation

Can’t speak for this month but last I tried was like October and I couldn’t alt-tab another window over a full screen game. I’m thinking of giving another go when 26.04 popos comes out

It’s always about bringing back the old Bioware names for star wars rather than the old obsidian Kotor 2 names. Kotor 2 raised the bar even with the rushed development. Raised it so high that the mega budget multiple single game story sized MMO with Bioware disappointed, Same with the book before the game. I don’t get what about these suits and Bioware alumni seem so allergic towards Kotor 2. Mass Effect was a step back compared to Xbox era Bioware and a major step back comparison to Xbox era Obsidian. Besides David Gaider, if the name is a former major Bioware figure, my interest plummets

Regardless, new studio. They probably don’t even have a clear idea on what the narrative even is. Probably spin the wheels on asset generation, concept art, and narrative round tabling with a back and forth with LucarsArts/Disney canon approvers. Keep expectations low. 2030+. Don’t expect risks. Bioware and the old Bioware alumni still directing games besides Gaider with Dragon Age 1-3 all seem obsessed with making Hollywood knock offs with very basic morality and basic heroes journey narratives. Pretty much covering up a new hope in new paint over and over again

Last I had it on my desktop was like 2 months ago. Oddities with games here and there was a deal breaker for me. Don’t remember if I could alt tab over video game windows yet. Not being able to alt-tab other windows over a video game is a deal breaker for me. There were random nich applications I don’t recall that didn’t handle dialog windows/file pickers well. That may be better by now. The file explorer is really bare bones even compared to nautilus. Not expecting Dolphin but I want something better.

High hopes though. I may give it another go as my primary with 26.04. The Cosmic applications are all pretty fast. I think I like how it looks more than KDE just KDE is way more fully featured

Hopefully he’s still weird. People often lose a lot their teenage/young adult fantasizing as they age. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just I feel the major thing missing from modern RPG writing is that they’re not idiosyncratic enough. Worlds written that cater too much to modern (American) sensibilities, slang - anachronistic. I like when it’s written like an all star dungeon master really going hard into the lore of the desert bandits 3000 years of traditions

Good luck on no stumbles to the first game. Then I guess reuse maps and assets as much as possible like Yakuza games though scope creed that requires major development is more common than not even with asset reuse

Iris is really good with faces. That’s it’s design. The reason is going from a high res up 4x takes too long and downscaling fuzzes up the picture a bit so things don’t get too smoothed out when you upscale a 2nd time. Also there’s a resolution limit on the upscale so can’t get too large
