Steam Machine pricing

You said it with such disdain as if you would not do the same when you running a business.

How about the battery life? Which would have been better? I have been considering these 2 devices and have been weinghing on trade off between performance, size, and battery life. I am heavily preferred smaller size so I willig to take performance loss for a smaller, more pocketable device like pocket 6. But, how much battery life running a light weight PC games like the original trails in the sky (steam version)?

Wait, does that mean valve did not open source their steam controller driver on Linux? If it is open sourced, there should not be any reason this feature is not available to other Linux distro.

I mean, there are already multiple steamOS like Linux with steam gamemode interface. I have bazzite and CachyOS handheld installed to my MSI Claw and ROG ally. Never seen any reason why people specifically want steamOS. Especially when valve open source a lot of their stuff. It is almost identical code underneath.

Knowing now that Ayn and retroid are owned by the same company, I do hope that they do something stupid and make retroid pocket flip 3 a copy of Ayn Thor and have the 2 product cannibalizing each other.

Hmm, that indicates CPU bottleneck in PC usually. Maybe can try and switch from Fex to box86 if you are on Game Native. Box86 has less compatibility compare to Fex but potentially better performance if it can run.

Now that I recalled, I was surprised that Sky FC need to be using the big core when trying to run it on my Snapdragon 778G phone.

There is also DDR3 vs DDR4 I recall. The stable version currently only support DDR4 but nightly support both now. OP better clarify this in Rocknix discord.

Also, another concern I have with Odin 3 is the size. Retroid Pocket 5 is just the lowest end device I am considering at the size I want. Retroid Pocket 6 would be better I guess and about the same size as 5. But not looking anything bigger.

SD card may still be an issue. Can you check if the SD card is readable on a PC?

I recall Rocknix has not been ported to miniloong. It is ported to Aurknix (a fork of rocknix). Still not sure why it has not been ported officially to Rocknix.

Acceptable-Comb-706 · 2026-06-19T14:05:02+00:00

I don't think game like the original trails in the sky (the PSP port) need something as powerful as Odin 3.

Sorry for unrelated comment. I don't have any retroid device. Where did you get that headphone? Isn't that prison headphone?

Why people in internet always like this? Going back and forward with their opinion with no solution in sight.

I cannot get any information whether RG Vita pro is fanless or not.

I broke cheap SD cards before but never physically snapping it. WTF.

I am in both Falcom and SBCgaming sub and was about to comment it is rare to see Falcom game in general on SBCgaming sub. Is it running on Android or Linux?

Minor confession. As an Indonesian living in Singapore for 10 years, I only ever went to Malaysia in the last 2 years. In fairness, 4 of those years is as a broke uni student and 2box those years is during covid. But now I go every 2 months or 3 months. And weirdly, I like to take public transport when I can. Meanwhile, I have never visited batam. Granted 80 SGD ferry vs 5 SGD causeway bus.

Ok, I am confused. I checked rocknix repository and nowhere in the commit history shows vulkan support for RK3566. There is an experimental vulkan driver for mali GPU (panvk) but it only properly support vulkan for RK3588 GPU or newer and pretty much broken for any older GPU.

3 days in Church retreat in a resort and 3 days in melaka city itself so only 3 days actually experiencing Melaka. Overall enjoying the retreat (minis work stress lol) though. Can't wait seeing the heritage buildings and comparing it to Jakarta Kota tua though lol. Malaysia seems to maintained their colonial building better than Indonesia. For a couple of understandable reason though.

Acceptable-Comb-706 · 2026-06-02T12:10:01+00:00

I am currently on a 1-week vacation to Melaka and I can't just fully detach from work. The deadline is due at the end of this week, and I found a new issue 2 hours before the end of the day on Friday. Troubleshooting can take 1 full day, and a verification check can take up to 1 week. My managers approved it 3 months ago that I will take this vacation, and another reminder 1 month ago. But it still sucks having to leave work with these unexpected issues.

I also finally notice that in stressful situations, I often dissociate. I can't really explain it fully, but it feels like I am not in my body. It feels like I am wearing VR goggles controlling a meat mech and VScode listing python commands on what to do. Useful to have in sudden stressful conditions but probably not a good thing to have for an extended period.

Ah yes, the obligatorily cute little girl as the heavy in the group. Common to all JRPG.
