I used to think this way, then it was pointed out to me that, without timezones, we’d be in a situation where Saturday starts mid-workday in some places.

If you’re serious about getting help from the community, open source the game and/or provide concrete questions on what code you want to improve.

I have never wanted to play a game so hard in my life. It seems to have the atmosphere of Inscryption, the gameplay of Papers Please and a lot of buttons and knobs to mess around with.

How much log information is being printed to the console? If it’s logging something every frame then that could be using a ton of resources.

I have a Windows dual boot for the (nowadays rather rare) cases where a game won’t run in Linux.

Interestingly, I spent a while trying to get League of Legends working with their new rootkit requirements… But my Windows-using friends weren’t comfortable playing the game any more.

I use it for “light” games (the 2D stuff, Balatro, Dicey Dungeons, Whisker Squadron Survivor) while sitting in bed. Honestly when I got it, I wasn’t expecting to use it as much as I did.

One small thing but I’m surprised nobody points it out - the charging port location. I like using my switch/steam deck in bed or otherwise laying down, and the fact that the charging lead is at the bottom of the console rather than the top sucks. It just gets in the way and stops you resting the console on you. Whereas the Steam Deck just has it on top where you can just plug it in while playing.

I know the technical reasons behind it because of the dock and all that, but it’s annoying.

In general, I think the steam deck is better than the switch in almost every way - The switch is just an expensive ticket for the right to play Nintendo games nowadays.

Slay the Spire is the “original” Rougelike Deckbuilder and IMO got the formula down perfectly.

Really? To me they look like the ones on the 3DS. It made sense there considering the lid, but not here.

Scam aside, that thing does not look comfortable to hold and use. Especially those triggers.

American football fields.

If this is all about some secret keys, couldn’t they release the project without those keys, and ask users to get those keys through… Uh… Legal means. I think that’s how they got around it in bioses for earlier consoles.

Edit: I see. Fuck Nintendo.

Played it a while ago and had fun with it - would recommend if you like city/base building games.

Did fall off late game with the “factorio problem” of having huge bases that you need to micromanage and build manually (so called because Factorio is the only game which I think fixes this problem; a lot of games I keep wanting to blueprint things).

Also, it took me the longest time to realise that you were allowed to run paths underwater…

I get that, but I’m wondering why people looking for that wouldn’t just get a Switch? Even the Steam deck can be used as a “console” if you just own Steam games.

They’re trying to complete with two companies that have huge amounts of resources whilst also not bringing much new value to the table.

PlaytronOS, meanwhile, won’t even have a desktop mode. Speaking to The Verge, Playtron CEO Kirt McMaster says the goal is to offer a more console-like experience that’s easy to use, allowing handhelds to feel more like a Nintendo Switch than a full-fledged PC.

What. Isn’t one of the selling points of the Steam Deck that you could run normal software like emulators and Discord on it. What target audience are they after? People that are into PC gaming, don’t use Steam and don’t want to customise things. But also don’t want a switch?

Licenses will be around $10, making PlaytronOS much cheaper to install than Windows (which can cost as much as $80 per device).

Not for OEMs! It costs them about ten dollars, and if you talked to the right person in Microsoft, you might be able to get them cheaper if your hardware can give them an edge against Valve.
