Although I don’t share your point of view, I respect and would like to know more, would you care to elaborate on the reasons that led to or justify your opinion ?
I’m currently living through my most stessful week of my life: About a year and a half ago, I bought a plot of land with the project of building a home there, inflation and loan rate kicked in, so I thought “alright let’s wait a bit see when it stabilizes”, this week I learned my plot is planned to be removed from the “buildable” area. If I don’t put a building permit to the city council before this is voted my land will basically see it’s value divided by 20 and I won’t be able to build a house there, I put 6 years of savings into this project… all because my gov decided that they didn’t want this area to be urbanised anymore.
I have trouble sleeping and working I can’t think of anything else, I also lost my appetite.
Thank you for the kind message. We are looking into these alternative options, they come with their own set of laws and stuff, we don’t really know yet what we can do.
You are forgetting the time it takes to copy the data to and from these cards. Data may be transported, but it is not usable until you copy it. Copying 20 TiB is probaply going to take some time

They host and serve the data which cost a lot of money, they are not charging for it they are asking for patronage for those who want to. vip doesn’t get you much apart from the feeling of participating (I’m vip). It’s not different from lemmy, instance hoster ask for patronage to cover the costs, even though the data is produced by users.
That’s great, but to be fair some of them are “technically playable” but a real pain in the ass to play on the steam deck. The definition of “playable” is really not what you’d expect.
EDIT: I don’t understand why I’m getting downvoted so much… I own a steam deck and love it, and my comment is on topic… I’m literally the only top comment on the thread, are you guys trying to incentivize people not to engage on lemmy’s post ?
That’s true, I played many games that were great on the deck but marked as unverified. But that’s exactly my point you can’t really know how many games are actualy playable. When on the deck there is a tab called “great on deck” with games suposedly great to be played on the deck, but in reality these are games that theoretically works… They don’t test for the quality of the experience of playing them on the deck as oposed to another platform.
Factorio for exemple is marked “great on deck” I tried to play it, it’s honestly unplayable, I love the game, I love the steam deck, but that game is not “great on the steam deck”. And it is not the only game in this category.
I didn’t mean they should compare it with other platform, I’m saying some games that are great on other platform are difficult to play on the deck, often when the mouse is required for the game it’s very hard to play it on the deck. For exemple: Papers please is an awesome game that is marked “great on deck” I encourage you to try playing it on the deck, I tried and it was very hard to play, maybe you can play it putting the deck on a table and using the touchscreen, but I don’t think people are happy playing on the deck using only the touchscreen, and even then I’m not sure that particular game (which again I love on pc) is particularly good on the deck.
I’d like to add that Iown a deck, I play daily on it, and I love it, I feel like people are gatekeeping because I dared say something not 100% positive about steam.
We agree. That’s exactly what I said in my first comment, factorio is “technically playable”. I never said anything about games not “working”.
You can plug kb, mouse and also plug-in a bigger screen on the deck, but that’s not what people instinctively think about when they hear “great on deck”
Really?? that’s interesting (and surprising for me), I guess I must be really bad with the trackpad as a mouse or something, also it says to click on “y” instead of “r2” to click which I thought was really impractical. Then I didn’t try the hardest to make it usable for me, after a couple minutes I just said “fuck it, I can’t play like that” and played something else.
I also get the perf overlay showing getting stuck there sometimes, it is really annoying.
Don’t understand what you mean about the charging cable that should be detachable ? I charge my deck via usb-c so the cable is detachable, is it not what you use ? Or did you mean something else ?
The main reason I love the steam deck, is that it can theoretically run almost any games, I hate platform exclusives, with the deck I can emulate most console, including the switch
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
Drug users are everyone, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, some are legal, some are still detectable months after use, would you care that your cab driver got drunk last months ? I wouldn’t care.
WTF, we are making videos from text posts now ? It feels so weird… Instead of reading a post in 10s, I get to wait 35s for the video to unfold the text discussion, and youtube gets to puts ads on top of it, what a time to be alive…
Personally, I’d prefer waiting 15s to start the video than watching 15s of ad before atching the video, ads have been proven to have an effect on your brain that’s why they keep showing them to you. It’s not about the delay in video watching, it’s about the ad itself.
