I’m not gonna argue, cause honestly we’ve seen way too many companies follow this same shitty pattern.

Still, I’m hopeful! Valve has been an absolute bro thus far - if the steam deck is anything to go by, I think we’ve got a lot to look forward to!


It does! I believe I read it in one of the rock paper shotgun articles.


I think they still aren’t even selling the OLED steam deck globally, so I’m not getting my hopes up 🥲


Uhhhhhhh saywhanow?? Where you seein these rumors?! They reputable??!?

Dont play with my heart! 😭 I would DIE for a new Half Life VR - Alyx was FUCKING incredible!!!


I wonder if they might be able to add hand tracking later, since they’ve already got the cameras that’d to the tracking?

VR proper content Like what? If it’s a full blown desktop environment with steamVR, isn’t that as VR proper as it gets? 🤔 not being critical, trying to get what you mean! 🙂

no hardware upgrade As for GPU/CPU upgrades, I think if you wanna do heavy VR games like alyx it makes sense to stream from its dedicated dongle, no? Also they’ve talked about the ability to upgrade lenses and headstrap-audio and other stuff - so, besides the main board, it is actually sorta upgradable! 🙂


But then, isn’t that kinda where linux was at before steamOS kicked this revolution off?? Like, I had kinda dabbled in various linux distros here and there prior to steamOS and was always left feeling like it lacked complete polish - VR, gaming, easy app installs (outside the terminal, for normies)… All that has never seemed so well rounded – until steamOS blessed me with KDE, and since then I’ve mained Debian w/ KDE on all my machines (hopefully I can even main deb on my phone, one day!!)

Point is= maybe if a company like valve (or even valve themselves) pulls a similar approach with RISC-V that we’ve seen them do with steamOS, we aren’t wrong to hope for the same sort of outcome for it as well!

But, that’s just a dream I suppose 😅 here’s hoping!!! 🤞🤞


Yeah dude I totally agree! Mods are great in their own right, but there’s something to be said for the insane variety of gameplay you can get outta the base game!


It gets worse. This is a bit further down on that article=

Jesus fucking Christ.



Can’t wait to see a followup post for this! Cheers for doing this AMA! 🎉❤️❤️


My thoughts exactly. Calling for an audit from a corrupt company operating under a corrupt gov? Rip stjv, probly. Fucked up.


RIP halo, my favorite competitive shooter ever 😭 infinite is such an absolute botch.


Yeah denuvo is such a buzzkill. I used to dislike it on performance grounds alone… But dude, when I went to play dead space on a plane for the first time, and that lil fucker told me it required internet to allow single player gameplay? 😤 fuuuuuck that. Never again.


Ya’ll should be sure to get the DLC for outer wilds as well! And I’m sure you know, but go in as blind as possible!!


Oh, an absolute all time great. Fantastic background music when you’re focused on homework or something, but equally enjoyable to sit and focus on all the nuance and details.

But the best part is how perfectly the music aligns to the overall tone and atmosphere of the game. Hell, it even does a tremendous amount of storytelling itself!


everyone: Nintendo is a horrible company that does shit that’s harmful to consumers and the gaming industry!

also everyone: WOW can you believe I was able to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 the literal day it released?!?!

We really showed them. 🤷‍♂️


Ori & the Will of the Whisps is an incredible story, on sale for pretty cheap right now!




YES emoji search would be amazing!



For what’s worth, I registered for the FCC’s do not call registry way back and it helped a bit - but once you’re registered, if you get spam calls, you can report the numbers to the FCC for having called you despite being on the registry. YMMV but it might be worth a shot!


Yeah I’ve started doing the same and its almost like they maintain a list of us time wasters 😅 I’ll typically play along as long as I can so they think I’m all game. After they rage quit I immediately call the number back from a second phone and attempt to play dumb like I got disconnected, typically with some other dumbass that just resets and starts the script over, so I get a free two-fer 😂

It has become a fun little ride every once in a while!


My god you really nailed that on the head - I’d forgotten about quickpic (rip) but I’ll never forget about ES file explorer.



I read that as “long awaited pirate servers” until like half way through the article hoping someone would explain 😅😅😅 oof


Outer Wilds! (Not to be confused with ‘The Outer Wilds’)

Be careful not to read into it too much; the less you know going into it the better!!
