  • The promise was that people would literally stop going to real life music shows to watch them on Second Life, buying fake cans of sponsored Coca-Cola and inviting friends to one night stands on their digital flats. Going on for 20 years is not the norm, but not unusual either - RuneScape is older and my neighbors have no idea what it is.

    The reality is that we forgot about the game in less than two years and the surviving community is small, even if they pay a lot.

    That's exactly what's going to happen to AI agents promising to replace an entire department or the creative team in a studio.

  • Unfortunately, while Valve outsourcing repairs and parts to iFixit is great for most regions, iFixit stopped shipping to my country a few years ago, so this complicates things quite a lot :(

  • There's a reason you had to fish for an exception to find a modern game with a forward rendering engine.

  • I'll take DLSS over any other AA solution any day.

    We no longer use forward renderers, AA either looks like ass or comes with a massive performance cost, and it can't fix noise from foliage, alphas, smoke, etc. DLSS fixes all three issues at once.

  • We can't criticise a massive price increase on games and insane markups for a 480p webcam in 2025 because... People are having fun?

    I mean, I can have lots of fun with asbestos too.

  • My battery is no longer holding up the same as it did when I first purchased mine, but I'm only replacing my Steam Deck for another gaming device when the Steam Deck 2 launches.

  • My comment is got blast processing, so I win

  • Dude trust me bro this plot of land on Second Life will be worth more than your house in the future, this is the world wide web bro

  • The lobotomized chimp with a typewriter trained on internet comments is now reproducing internet commentary? I'm shocked!

  • If they're still LLMs? Nothing much changes.

  • LLMs don't have reasoning nor internal logic. If you take a look at the "thinking" feature AIs like Gemini introduced, this becomes even more obvious. In order to have the most basic type of analysis possible, it must hallucinate an entire context window to force the language model to reach a specific conclusion.

    There's zero world in which LLMs replace humans. They might, temporarily, be convincing enough to trick a few CEOs... But that period of time won't last long.

    Now, a human being assisted by AI on Microsoft Word or their Python IDE, sure.

  • Just ask Grok to fix the servers, AI is so much better than humans right?

  • Yep, and they're still quite troublesome. But installing Nvidia drivers is not the only problematic aspect of an immutable distro, so it doesn't matter at all if Bazzite makes it easy as far as my point goes.

  • Hur Durr Valve knows something you don't

    Here's Valve explicitly claiming the same as I did

    Hur I struck a nerve time to stop the conversation

    Hahaha sure buddy

  • The website literally states this image is meant for the Steam Deck and Legion Go S, not other random devices.

    But sure, go on, you must know something Valve doesn't, as you so eloquently put it.

  • Clearly it was worth valve’s time and attention, so my guess is they know something you don’t lol

    Every manufacturer provides a firmware reset image or tool. It's not some mystery.

    But sure, get weirdly offended because somebody pointed out the obvious lol

  • Whenever we suggest starting to test sperm for known genetics conditions, somebody starts screaming eugenics, which then halts the debate and we end up not testing for things we absolutely can test for.

  • They'll gladly take that

    Their customers will take that. There's no world Apple eats a 25% cost rather than simply increasing their prices.

  • Oh tell me your joking, this profoundly ruins he and every single one of his roles forever for me

  • Most users aren't going to install a new OS, especially on a handheld.

    The third party devices coming out with SteamOS already installed are significantly more interesting than this .iso.
