  • I feel you are a bit out of touch when the topic is specifically enshittification and that it is based on the history of companies turning against their users, showing little good faith. It is also not something which is sparing open source projects (remember bitwarden’s attempt?). So sure, I’m not going to deny that I’m making assumptions and that I am concerned it may one day happen. But it is grounded in reality, not some tinfoil hat stuff.

    Edit: and the fact that bitwarden did not eventually go through with it does not counter the fact that they intended to and tried. Sometimes companies back off and play the long game and try to be more subtle about it.
















  • How reliable is sleep? Does it actually go to sleep? Is the battery drain in sleep acceptable? Does it come out of sleep without issue? Is it fast to go to sleep and resume from sleep?

    My experience with the steam deck has been absolutely stellar regarding sleep, to the point is has been a game changer. So fast to pick up for a quick game and put back to sleep even if playing just for a minute. It’s reliable and the battery drain is acceptable maybe (roughly 10% per 24h but didn’t measure it explicitly).


  • The video game landscape is already filled to the brims with more games than I need to play for the rest of my life and you want me to hurry up to pay for a game as it comes out, to ditch out the full price when my computer would suffer for the lack of latest gen hardware when I could easily find a large amount of fantastic games for less than 10 bucks and comfortably max out their settings?

    Like, the witcher 3 with all its DLC, a fantastic game which is 10 years old but got a free graphics upgrade and with all its DLC, worth hundreds of hours of gameplay and a memorable experience is less than 10 bucks, as we speak, both on steam and gog.

    Most people already have more games than they have time to play. Patient gamer has never been more rewarding. We fall too often for the fear of missing out the experience and hype of a new launch…

    I finished GTA 4 and 5 like a year ago, on my steam deck. I couldn’t care less if these games came out like 10 years ago. It gives me the flexibility to play them how I want to.
