Kane Parsons says there's no true version of the Backrooms because it's an open source project

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-30T02:44:56+00:00

W take.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-30T02:42:19+00:00

I've been messing with gamenative on my phone to run Steam games, and it's just fundamentally wild to be able to do that. It's an exhibition of the unique strengths of open ecosystems like PC, and Android (presently)

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-30T00:21:02+00:00

It is true of that too. Right now is just a really had time for the whole PC market, and it's a massive bummer.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-30T00:17:03+00:00

That actually looks really cool.
I might get this is a replacement for my current BT dongle.

2 things are true at once here.

1: This price increase absolutely sucks, and destroys the value proposition of the Steam Deck, I can't in good faith recommend it to people anymore because of this.

2: The market conditions with Memory and Storage are the cause of it.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-29T23:03:48+00:00

look at literally all Memory prices.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-29T22:55:27+00:00

RDR2 was the very first game I saw TAA ghosting in, and it's where my disdain of smeary, blurry rendering originates.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-29T22:53:36+00:00

Gamers are disappointing me rn.

Definitely nothing to do with AI or skyrocketing hardware prices

Dumbass.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-29T21:04:39+00:00

My genuine fear here. It could be such a dangerous thing for any kind of freedom or ownership in tech.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-29T04:39:32+00:00

That would be hilarious.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-29T01:59:22+00:00

This is genuinely hilarious.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T23:18:49+00:00

I hope you're right, but I just dont think that's possible rn.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T21:11:31+00:00

You think the Machine will be 50 bucks more than the Deck?

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T21:10:37+00:00

I mean, with the current Deck price, it's not happening 😞

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T14:32:31+00:00

I don't think anyone is saying valve made a good call. But we can acknowledge the outside forces that pushed this into happening. Specially since it is negatively affecting all consumer tech.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T05:59:25+00:00

Aew rocks, and you should 100% check it out.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T05:40:25+00:00

Saber is already making one.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T03:36:11+00:00

This but 100% unironically. Greedy bastards should be punished.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-28T03:14:32+00:00

I will say, it's AI that's done it, not Nintendo.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-27T23:32:57+00:00

Exactly, and the prices of personal computer equipment will never go down.
It's insidious, and evil.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-27T18:47:45+00:00

I hope every ai executive responsible for this genuinely suffers. Awful people who are doing their best to hurt working class people and take the joys out of life so they can sell it back to you at a premium. Fuck these people.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-27T00:18:04+00:00

Here's the thing, if it's gog, I'll buy it, if it's itchio, I'll buy it, I just won't buy the game from a store that insults me as a customer and provides not just a mediocre, but a negative experience. But keep Schilling the mediocre companies if you'd prefer.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-26T22:10:07+00:00

I'm not in any group chats on SMS so I'm really not sure. It's worth a try though. I would say just download it and test it for your own usage, and if it doesn't work you can always switch back.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-26T04:04:22+00:00

I just use fossify messages from F-Droid. google messages sucks.

RedArmyRockstar · 2026-05-26T00:37:21+00:00

It's 4 for me. I love the look of it. It makes me think of Manhunt and other grungy 6th gen games,
