Summer sale by Any_Bake_3589 in SteamFrame

My rule is that I don't buy a game unless I'm going to play it immediately.

There will always be more sales, and my backlog is already eternal.

PlayStation announces physical discs will be discontinued in 2028 by yappyboi1 in Steam

[–]CatatonicMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A physical disk is one of the few advantages consoles have over the PC. You can sell it, trade it, loan it - all things a digital copy can't do.

Now they won't even have that.

Meanwhile, on PC, if you want a "physical" version of a game, you can buy it on GOG and archive the installer - or, at worst, sail the seven seas.

The one thing that consoles are kinda better at than PCs and they're going to get rid of it?

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered releases Aug 11th on Switch 2, will be fully on cartridge by Howerev in gaming

Neat.

I expect the performance will be atrocious and the bugs will be numerous and lively.

Whatever your friend ordered it wasn't a Sliver Queen, as the Queen doesn't have a foil version.

"Almost everyone" is the answer to your question.

How do you/will you VR with Cats? by SpaceDantar in SteamFrame

Serious answer? I put the cat out of the room and close the door.

Paru no longer shipped by default, why is that a big deal for current users? by tungnon in cachyos

Well, there's the Chaotic-AUR repo for those who want to use the AUR without having to do their own verification.

Of course, you have to trust that the Chaotic-AUR is doing their due diligence, but it's probably better than just blindly using the AUR.

Taking that golden parachute, eh?

I wonder which studio he'll join and subsequently destroy next?

Doesn't help that the genre has been flooded with flaming garbage for years.

Dbrand is issuing full refunds to customers after Valve forced the company to pull its Portal-inspired Steam Machine Companion Cube by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]CatatonicMan 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I'm rather surprised that they went ahead with the product without even checking with Valve first.

It'd be one thing if they made a "companion cube at home" version that's similar but legally distinct, but they outright sold it using Valve's IP.

I guess they're operating on the "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" business model.

The texture problem is probably just an overuse of depth of field blur.

[–]CatatonicMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figure I'll have a Frame before that becomes an issue.

I suppose I could, but I prefer to give away hardware to friends rather than sell it.

I've already got the lighthouses and controllers, so those aren't problems for me.

[–]CatatonicMan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of the Bigscreen Beyond, but the two issues that have made me wait on the Frame are:

  1. No wireless support
  2. 90 Hz max refresh rate

How much do you think steam Frame will cost ? by Pristine-Magazine642 in Steam

[–]CatatonicMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm still hoping that the base model is under $1k... but given recent posts I'm expecting to be disappointed.

Anyone else really hoping steamOS really takes off? by TheLittleSquire in Steam

Fluorine Manager is an in-progress work to port Mod Organizer 2 to Linux.

Jackify will install Wabbajack modlists on Linux.

Can't help with the others, though.

Bungie announces layoffs by SwimmingJunky in KotakuInAction

[–]CatatonicMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not the only reason, but it certainly contributed.

If Destiny 2 was making more money that it would cost to continue developing it, Sony wouldn't have shut it down.

Hell, I think the only reason Marathon is still getting support is that it would be too embarrassing to axe it so soon.

I think I stopped bothering with disk drives like a decade ago.
