  • That's not the target usecase for the deck or for cs2. It's cool that it's possible and really showcases how flexible and capable the deck is, but valve has no obligation to support or optimize for it.

    Cs2 is quite optimized for a typical Windows gaming PC, aka the target platform. I get well over 300fps on my midrange build. Valve is putting a lot of extra work into proton configurations to get Windows games working well out of the box on the deck, it's perfectly fine that they haven't done that specific work for the deck yet, if at all.

    I'm sorry to say but you're an outlier. Most people with decks aren't typically docking them, and even less are docking them as a desktop replacement. For me it's a portable with the flexibility of easy couch coop but I never want to have to use a mouse and keyboard on it.

    Controlling scope of supported systems to ones that are most commonly used is the smartest thing they could do. There's a reason cs2 isn't supporting consoles this time around and it's telegraphing great things for the game this time. They aren't making the same mistakes they had to correct with cs:go on launch.

    1. The nitrogen is to keep them from going stale in oxygen. The amount of nitrogen across various chip manufacturers ranges from 19% gas all the way to 59%. That discrepancy range is where the psychology comes into play.
    2. The gas is partially pack fill to keep them from getting crushed, obviously. My whole point was that it is significantly more gas than necessary for pack fill.

    Fact is if you make the package look bigger, people think there's more. There's a reason we have laws about unnecessary slack fill. Nice try though, Dwight

  • Well there's a reason it's not a verified game. Valve is rightfully not targeting the steam deck for it because the gameplay experience wouldn't be good. If you want to still play it that's on you but I don't blame them for not supporting it. It shows that they are serious about cs this time, imo

  • Man I recently switched from podcast addict after years because podcast addict put an annoying nag about permissions changes in Android, plus I always had issues with the playlist/queuing. Guess I'll go back to it soon

  • I use so many of steams features it's unfathomable to use any other launcher or even pirate anything because steam is so streamlined. Cloud saves, automatic local file transfers instead of redundant downloads, family share to my friends PC so half the time when I visit she'll have already downloaded and played my new games. When I get there they're just ready to go. Remote desktop to make any tweaks on my PC or casual gaming over stream. Big picture mode so I can lay back with a controller and chill, no futzing with m+kb UI. Steam input means I can easily drop in and out with any controllers.

    I just got a steam deck and while I could install another app store on it, I've entirely stuck with steam just for the UX. I don't want to fuck with extra launchers and touchscreen bs.

    I just played a coop Windows game on a Linux based portable PC on a 4K TV with a $24 USB hub for video out, using an Xbox and ps5 controllers over Bluetooth. This was completely seamless and controller navigated. Steam is insanely good.

  • This right here. Automation is fantastic. Get rid of those shit jobs so more people's quality of life can improve. Giving all that quality of life to a select few at the top is where the problem is.

  • We can certainly argue over what they're designed to do, and I definitely agree that's the goal of them. The reality though is that on some level it is impossible to separate assertions from the words that describe them. Language itself is designed to communicate ideas, you can't really create language without also communicating ideas, otherwise every sentence from an LLM would just look like

    "Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like"

    They will readily cite information that was fed to them. Sometimes it is on point, sometimes not. That starts to be a bit of an ethical discussion on whether it is okay for them to paraphrase information they were fed, and without citing it as a source of the info.

    In a perfect world we should be able to expand a whole learning tree to trace back how the model pieced together each word and point of data it is citing, kind of like an advanced Wikipedia article. Then you could take the typical synopsis that the model provides and dig into it to judge for yourself if it's accurate or not. From a research standpoint I view info you collect from a language model as a step down from a secondary source and we should be able to easily see how it gets to that info.
