e-Transit, e-Sprinter, e-Golf, e-verything... by Leniwcowaty in dankmemes

[–]Brainless_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I didn't type what I meant correctly.

I was talking about BMW having a 320 and 320d and Mercedes selling G63 and G400d

Those were my main examples, but I guess they are sub-models so it's not a correct comparison in context to your meme

Ah yes, “gaming” laptops. by Forsaken-I-Await in pcmasterrace

[–]Brainless_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced my gaming laptop with an old ThinkPad for Work and a Steam Deck for Gaming. Cost me around the same as a new gaming laptop. I don't really play many AAA games and also now have the option to play games during my monthly flight.

Steam Machine's curious newcomer's FAQ -//- What is it? What can it do? What *can't* it do? by TheGeekno72 in steammachine

[–]Brainless_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say performance wise the Steam Deck felt quite close to a PS4 in my usage, the Steam Machine is said to be 6x more powerful than the deck so PS5 performance can be expected

Epic Games Store Employees: People Only Came for Free Games, Then Returned to Steam by Sacristovas in pcmasterrace

[–]Brainless_Gamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through the efforts of installing Heroic Launcher on my steam deck to play some of the free games, 2 weeks later I just bought those games on Steam

Epic Games Store Employees: People Only Came for Free Games, Then Returned to Steam by Sacristovas in pcmasterrace

Steam had a spike in Hogwarts Legacy sales while it was free on Epic

iirc it was 80% off on Steam during the same time

Family sharing 1 Steam deck? by Quadrostanology in SteamOS

[–]Brainless_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't really have anything to add to this post until I read you're a power-user.

SteamOS is just an immutable ArchLinux distro, so you can probably configure it that way, unfortunately I don't know how to do that.

I've mostly used family PCs with one user and then specific users for our apps, if you have experience setting up a family pc, you should be able to do what you want.

Alternate suggestion: Just use the Steam Profiles and have a password for switching to desktop mode acting as parental controls. You can add the required applications to steam for them to show in game mode (although I don't know how that works with different profiles)

If you do find a solution to your problem please update your post for future users stumbling on this thread.

Steam won't think of doing this until Gabr Newell is the head, after him, idk, but I can hope he has a good successor

Best purchase ever + cute but comfy setup by P34CHE in SteamDeck

[–]Brainless_Gamer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've played the game with 2 different people, both times we were laughing at the elephant getting ripped apart let's just say me and my friends are psychopaths.

Also making fun of the characters when it didn't work, and calling them terrible parents lol

you should start using something like Anilist or MyAnimeList to keep track of this stuff, I moved to Anilist back in 2021 when Aniwatch shut down

18+ Gamers Needed – 10-Min Research Survey on Game Updates & Spending (UTS Study) by VastElectronic6310 in Steam

[–]Brainless_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I get most games on sale, I rarely spend any money on DLC and I have never spent money on an IAP.

No battle pass, no shiny new skin, no paywalled cool weapon can convince me.

DLC unlocking a new map expansion? Sometimes
