I am curious how Apple will get around that this time. I’m almost sure this will be as funny as the whole story about the USB-C cables

I don’t even think it’s going into the lungs especially with non smokers. If you try to inhale smoke as a non smoker you’ll most likely cough your lungs out. I assume they suck the smoke into their cheeks and blow it out from there.

You’re absolutely right. For some reason I had Steam pre-installed in my head, probably bc the SD is the only Linux device I’m using

Shreddit is what I used to clean them all

While that’s absolutely true (and that method should work on other Linux devices too) it’s kind of a hassle when you have to change the exe path multiple times just to install the game and it’s dependencies like dx, visual c etc.

I’d recommend that method only if you’re a purist (and a bit of a masochist :D ) and you want to keep the machine as bloat free as possible at any costs

There are multiple game launchers that are able to run windows games and programs: Lutris, Heroic, Bottles, just to mention some of them. I played around with all of them on my steam deck and found that Heroic works the best for me in terms of reliability and convenience.

You click on „add game“ and a window pops up prompting you to input the game name, where to create the prefix (basically a virtual windows environment), and the path to the executable. If the game isn’t pre-installed you can hit the „run installer first“ button and install the game and any dependencies beforehand and add the executable after the successful installation.

I don’t think we’ll see a Steam Deck 2 anytime soon.

Is the Deck the best handheld on the market in terms of performance? No.

But if you ask me, it provides the most polished experience with SteamOS and probably has the best price to performance ratio, especially when on sale. If you want to check if your favourite games work on the deck refer to ProtonDB.

Plus you’re not limited to PC games, the Deck is also very good at emulating games. Mario Kart 8, Zelda Breath of the Wild or some PS2 classics like the Burnout series - it will do them all.

It all comes down to your expectations but if you want one, buy it now. Or buy it on the next sale. I got mine in May and I don’t regret the purchase whatsoever. Love to use it for quick couch gaming sessions, on the balcony or when travelling.

Also kinda unrelated but referring to your view on PC parts: yes new generations are released pretty quick compared to consoles but a build using components that are a couple of years old can still be equally powerful to a PS5 for example.

Karen, you forgot to take your pills.

I am currently switching back and forth between Memmy, Mlem and Wefwef (which is getting renamed to Voyager soon). All apps are in active development and have their pros and cons.

I just made my view on Denuvo clear: I don’t like them, they’re hurting the video game industry more than they’re helping it, so they can fuck off.

It’s a fact that their tweet about their book was ratio'd. Most people probably haven’t read it, me included but that’s not the point. It just shows the view the public has on Denuvo.

It’s also a fact that Denuvo decreases the performance of games, to a point where even legit buyers pirated a game because it ran better on their PCs than the official version.

There are enough reasons to dislike Denuvo and no one in their right mind should be defending them - this is my point of view.

This is a free place where everyone can express their opinion and it’s okay that you don’t agree with mine but there’s absolutely no reason to get personal.

They can fuck right off. Their approach about how emulation is evil was ratio’d big time on Twitter, do they really think people believe a dime what they’re saying?

I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.
