Textbook definition of a solution searching for a problem.

Would they release this thing already? I’m salivating.

I think it makes sense that these would be looser than those for the Deck. It doesn’t have the text size or resolution constraints. Basically the only thing that matters is: is there a native version, and if not, does it run in Proton.

Tbh I think it might even make sense to reduce the visibility of this verification, because in my experience, the number of games that don’t run in Proton now is vanishingly small. Big standouts are those requiring kernel-level anti-cheat, but that is not going to change. It kind of sends the wrong message to even need the verification, as opposed to supporting the assumption that most of the time “it just works”.

I know a few people who until very recently still believed that you could only run Linux native games on a Steam Deck. I guess maybe these verifications are aimed to combat that.

“Skip”

Black & White was genuinely good. But now it is old. At the time, I’d say it was worth its hype.

This is ironic. Just yesterday I was reading the reviews of this game on Steam, one of which said the game was abandoned and the promised Steam Workshop support had never materialized.

I’ll take cherrypicking for $500, Alex

I agree with you that it’s slow – and yet, it is one of the very few games I actually finished. That’s highly unusual for me. And then I went back and played it again.

It’s a game designed to be sipped, not gulped.

I mean. It does make me feel better knowing I’m not actually alone.

Never give up, never surrender, as they say

FWIW, his official social accounts posted “rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated” 5 hours ago.

This. All of these problems are solved by people not giving money. But often it seems difficult for people to actually stand behind principle when the time comes – convenience is a helluva drug.

For real though. 8 or 10 episodes is nothing, especially when they’re spread out intentionally to just keep people subscribed to a monthly streaming service.

TV shows of yesterday still matter largely because there is so. much. content. This shit was available for free with a basic ass television and some strips of metal wired into it. And you got 24 episodes a season. And sometimes there was more than one season in a year.

Artificial scarcity is obvious when things get that different.

Belaaaaay thaaat phaaaser orrrrrrdrrrrrrr

To each their own I guess (which is the point after all :) ). I’ve never had an issue with Jellyfin for music in the few years I’ve used it. All setups are different though.

I’ve never had an issue, hm.

Fantastsic post!

FWIW I suspect Jellyfin is the better choice for libraries with both music and movies. That said, we live in a world where multiple FOSS options exist to serve these roles. That should be appreciated and noticed by waaaay more people.

There aren’t really many choices when it comes to mobile OS.

I legitimately don’t understand why people pay these prices. If no one buys, prices drop. Impatient rich people poisoning the well

$70 is still crazy.

The original one was OK. Not great, but OK. Felt and played like a $40 game. Felt much better for $20 on sale.

This idea that $70 should be the baseline for games is insane on its own. Tbh, some of the most fun games I have played with the best replay values have been sub-$30.
