Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.

Oh, like a laptop that unfolds into an ultra wide?

It kind of bothers me that people are putting the responsibility on valve for this, when the companies themselves have purposefully not enabled compatibility in most cases.

Oh that’s sick hell yeah

Maybe after windows 8? Last time I can remember.

So I’ve heard from a few places that being neurodivergent does give you somewhat resistance from propaganda because you’re already used to having to think through a bunch of shit without being able to rely on group think, etc.

But also, basic fucking empathy does kind of kick in really hard. The propaganda isn’t even that good besides, it’s just a bunch of idiots saying “NO THE DEAD CHILDREN WERE EVIL”.

Might be permissions of whichever environment you’re running the sh in? Or potentially it wants that exact version, I’m only mildly competent at Linux at this point.

Right? It’s a huge bridge between x86 and ARM, it just opened up a potentially huge market for lower power consumption gaming devices. You could have like a Gameboy that runs silksong or something.

Yeah installed it a few days ago, super easy. It comes with a Linux/steam deck install guide.

Ditto this, 2007 was a fucking crazy year. All that next gen hit at once, people still taking risks on unique ideas. Nowadays you only see that kind of stuff from the indie scene, though they’ve been doing a great job with it IMO.

Such a brain-dead stance on the matter. Nobody is asking for your garbage DRM servers, we literally want the opposite of that.

I’m gonna be that guy, most of them are in some way or another. The devs literally decided to not bother pressing the button that enables compatibility because they don’t feel like it.

In Disco Elysium the game straight up called me out for apologising so much. It hit me so hard I stopped apologising as much irl. 10/10 game would be ashamed again.

Get an old PC, have a secure external data storage, and let them delete system files a few times, then teach them how to fix it themselves. Familiarity breeds comfort.

Yes, but wouldn’t we be using % of your vision vs pixels in display? Steam deck being right in front of my face and tv 5 or 6 metres away etc.

Absolutely higher res does look sharper though, which is great for movies etc. I’m more coming from a performance vs visual fidelity ratio. What I’m trying to express is that given 800p still looks surprisingly good, I’m starting to question the industry pushing higher resolution displays for gaming applications.

Fair, good luck with it. Just had to figure out that a drive from a windows install was causing huge permissions issues and any game installed on it wasn’t executing. Sometimes the problems can be really obtuse.

You know about protondb already? Gives a good list of potential fixes if you come across issues, it’s been a godsend on the rare occasions something doesn’t work first try

Honestly after using the steam deck (800p) I’m starting to wonder if res matters that much. Like I can definitely see the difference, but it’s not that big a deal? All I feel like I got out of my 4k monitor is lower frame rates.

Often it’s more about validating your own situation unfortunately
