Dear mobile companies: I don't want ever-thinner products that look easier and easier to break.

I also don't want 6"+ screens, why are phones all so fucking massive now?

Picked up the Gamesir Nova Lite controller, excuse the stupid bedroom pic, but it’s cheap and really good. 2.4g, plug and play on Stean Deck. Perfect for when docked.

The more I use a Steam Deck, the more I feel big boxes hooked permanently to a single TV are ridiculous.

Pick up and play anywhere, with the ability to hook up to a TV is just…so much better!

If Valve doesn’t do a Steam Deck 2 I will be quite sad.

The OLED design is basically perfect. Just bump up the APU in 2 years time 👌

Nintendo clearly had it right with the Switch. But the Deck is just better. More games, more open, just more fun.

Decided I'm done with Linux.

I'm waiting for Linux 2.

The Helldivers 2 furore is bonkers. If you missed it, Sony, seemingly against wishes of the dev studio, pushed to add a mandatory PSN Network sign-in months after launch on one of their biggest, most popular games on PC, and not only did the community revolt (dropping review score into the teens), but the game is now pulled from 177 storefronts and Steam are issuing refunds (as PSN only works in certain countries). The studio has told players to make their voices heard

@stroughtonsmith Your take is not quite right.

It was always a requirement, it was listed on the store page since release. You did have to scroll down a bit to see it in the Steam sidebar though.

The issue sucks for sure, but this is not something being pushed for suddenly months later, it was paused initially due to the overwhelming demand at release.

Sony messed up though big time, by letting people buy it in regions not supported.

If you wondering how I deal with anti-trans people in the @gamingonlinux Discord this should give you an idea:

I don't stand for it.

ThePlant,
@ThePlant@mastodon.social avatar

@gamingonlinux Well, I tried to warn them...

I will never, ever, allow places I moderate to have people do ridiculous dog whistle bullshit.

I pride myself of having communities inclusive of everyone, as long as you're not an asshole.

@gamingonlinux Context: someone came into Discord, claimed the Helldivers 2 forcing Sony accounts was from trans activism....pure 100% bullshit lies

I love how when coding it's like

  • i'll just do this
  • okay now i need to do this
  • this needs sorting too
  • oh, it's all broken now

@ThePlant@mastodon.social avatar

My current one

  • Okay, I'll hook up the redis cache for @gamingonlinux articles
  • Oh, I also need to stop letting /article-url/randomfuckingstuff being valid and still showing an article
  • Oh I also needs to put other stuff in the cache
  • Okay this thing has been broken forever, fix it while i'm here....repeat

Look, if you're using cheapo digital ocean vps and a single article takes 11mb to load without a browser cache...maybe the problem is your server not the mastodon embed.

Just saying.

Crytivo just get more weird.

First they started pandering to Musk, trying to get his attention and wanting him as a god in their game...

Now they're posting about boob physics for a farming game.

The amount of people that keep posting about being on “Main” for Steam Deck updates, then complaining on Reddit about stuff broken 🤦‍♂️

Stop. Using. It.

It’s hidden behind developer options for a reason.

Want to test stuff early that’s somewhat ready? Stick to Preview.
