Anon gets plastered
  • On my first job, there were several employees whose jobs was to aimlessly wander around the office because they had a problem with their logins when they were hired and nobody bothered to fix it for them. Companies really don't give a shit.

  • Anyone else here that stopped watching TV almost completely?
  • Haven't watched TV in so long that when I invited friends over to watch the last Super Bowl, we had to scramble to find a streaming service that had it because I forgot TVs need an antenna to get the actual channels and we don't have one.

  • Only 15% of all Steam users' time was spent playing games released in 2024
  • And that's a biased statistic. My recap shows I spent 1% of my time playing games released in 2024 when I know, for a fact, that I didn't. Upon further investigation, I found that it was counting my play time in Palworld as 1% even though it still shows as "0 minutes" because I literally only opened it to check that it worked.

  • Intel finally notches a GPU win, confirms Arc B580 is selling out after stellar reviews
  • Amazing! Or it would have been in an alternate timeline where the RX7600 and RTX4060 were just released. Over here in the real world, Intel is more than a year late to the party with a lackluster product. NVIDIA and AMD have new cards releasing in early 2025 and, given that the B580 is within 15% of last year's offerings in 1080p, it's probably about to be outclassed. I really hope its existence at least forces the other two to stop with the 8GB of VRAM insanity but unless you need to upgrade right now, you shouldn't care about this. So can we stop pretending it's a good product?

  • Balatro dev: Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating
  • Times are different now, there's no more turning up in a ditch. If you start winning too often, they're gonna keep an eye on you and try to determine if you're cheating. If you're not, they're gonna ask you to leave and ban you from the casino before you can actually win anything significant — the justification given is that it's their casino and they can refuse entry to whoever they want. If you are cheating, then you're just going to jail.

  • Empathy Training
  • Yeah... I don't think this would work. I worked customer service for 5 years and, if anything, now I have less patience with the reps because I know exactly how they're fucking up and how to fix it.

  • Valve's plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows
  • Are you trying to imply having an "official SteamOS" means you will be able to call Valve to have them troubleshoot your game? Because you can't do that with the current official SteamOS on the Steam Deck. I don't think you thought this through.

  • Valve's plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows
  • For some devices, gaming is all they need to do.

    Serviceable isn't good, even if gaming is all you do, you're better off with a regular distro — this was brought up already in the comment you're replying to.

    EmuDeck, Heroic and Lutris integrate directly into Steam. With a single click you can add a shortcut in your Steam library

    Adding a secondary launcher to a launcher is bad design. Again, this is something that I brought up in the comment you're replying to, along with having to use hacky software that only exists to remedy SteamOS usability problems, of which emudeck is one.

    I'm not sure how they can make it any easier

    They don't have to. The problems I mentioned only exist because of SteamOS dumb decision to completely segregate the "desktop" and "gaming" experiences. They're fixed by just letting me use my computer. Imagine if Steam logged you out every time you exited Big Picture mode, because this is pretty much how SteamOS currently works. I think you guys are cutting a LOT of slack to SteamOS because of what Valve did for Linux gaming but there's really not a single reason to use it over something like Bazzite (not the Steam Deck version, obviously).
