Yep that's correct. I think he announced he had cancer at a young age and then never posted again. its sad to think how many communities you could be in who would never hear of your passing.

There was a guy I believe died many years back, circa like 2005. Think he had a StarCraft avi.

Rocking a Vega 56 here with 8gb. It can basically play everything out at 1440p, but it's def getting old. Probably won't be upgrading for a while since Steam Deck is coming soon, but I was trying to get a 6700xt for months

Series X of course

 

Game pass prepaid for 3 years. Its the ONLY option right now, paying $70 for a game is laughable..

 

i do own them all .. i just havent turned on my PS5 in months.. (did play last of us recently but that was on PS4 pro)

I joined gamepass when Gears 5 came out and never cancelled. Other than dabbling with Gears, Sea of Thieves, and Halo Infinite, the majority of gaming time was with indies that cost < $30. There's no way I wouldn't have saved money just buying the games I wanted to play. I'm not saying Gamepass isn't worth it, but it's easy to just keep paying and not use it.

How many Nintendo games does the PS5 have???  Dumbass

Most of the Nintendo games worth playing on Switch are WiiU ports.

Just put a 1TB nvme in mine. Greatest system you can buy.

I have a God X and Switch sexy.  Best combo in gaming. 

Or you could get a PS5 and not need a "combo".

Look at the rants he's been going on, lately. All because of he's absolutely amazed and blown away at playing low-end indie games at 800p 30fps.

Today's indies are more ambitious than Nintendo's attempts at AAA.

All of the problems of PC gaming while on the go. Prob spend the whole bus ride tinkering to get games to work, end up with a dead battery while the smelly sheep next to you was playing pokemans the whole time

All the problems of PC gaming are caused by Microsoft. Valve thankfully cut them out. Only Lemmings are MS peasants.

Agree the visuals are not what I'm expect from next gen.  I hope they get somewhat away from the ruthless violence of The Dark Pictures series (only played a couple hours tbf).  I'd like to see Supermassive do a bit of a spin on the generic slasher tropes, like Dale and Tucker vs Evil did

PS5. You literally can't do better right now.

MS fucking sucks as a publisher man. They've got great 1st party teams, but they force them to be franchise stewards rather than artists. 343 is a MS division created to make Halo. The Coalition was initially making a stealth action game before MS forced them to become Gears of War LLC. Turn 10 the Forza team, etc.

Hopefully this is changing with the acquisition of Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Bethesda, but I bet if any of them produce a megahit, they will be forced to remake it forever.

Another great Steam Deck verified game

Saying "if you only want it for indie games switch is better" is bullshit. Thats only looking at one part of the puzzle, that being that yes most games on Switch "just work" (though some ports can be terrible). It ignores the fact that 1) Steam has a much bigger library, 2) Steam games are cheaper, 3) Steam is more future proof. Switch online will get shutdown just like 3DS, Steam will coninue to exist outside of Steamdeck and whats more you can carry your games over to other devices like a desktop or laptop, 4) carrying on from the previous point if I bougjt a Switch now I have to start building my entire library from scratch where as if I get a Steamdeck I already have hundreds of games available to try.

Yeah this is the insane double standard imposed on Steam Deck. It gets dinged for not perfecting previously unthinkable: playing the entire 5000+ library of PC history portably with a seamless console experience. Even that gets closer than anyone would've guessed.

If you just rate it based on the "verified" experience, it's the best handheld ever made.

Lol that fucking thing is huge. 

Built for adults

Literally best on PS5 tho.

PS5 is the only system that can play every From game.

I'd hate to be using that analog nub in 2022, but if you're gonna do it, at least get the XL. The 2DS is really shit.

I've played every Naughty Dog game since 2007 and I don't know this dude. Hes probably good.

TUNIC AAA 9.0 TSHBO

This kind of game is exactly why we need the Steam Deck. Ambitious indie devs start on PC, and come to consoles only after they've achieved commercial success. Thanks to Valve we no longer have to wait to take these games on the go.

Installing Windows just sounds like a shitty experience overrall. You lose the benefits such as display scaling, 30fps limiter, and the ui specifically made for the device, introduce jank to the device features such as brightness controls etc  lose about 30GB more space, shirten the battery life....all for no real benefit other than a few anticheat games.

 

Fair play to Microsoft most of the games perform better than expected. Windows must "get out of the way" more than I expected once a game starts running.

 

Apex legends now woeks through Proton and DBD recently had the same anticheat file added to steamdb recently so it seems like a lot of the anticheat games will start to work anyway.

 

Also someone on youtube has Civ V running on this. That was what I was hoping on all along. Availability is now Q3 2022 so no rush to get one But when that improves I think I'll get one.

 

I think a lot of PC players underestimated how unviable Windows is for dedicated gaming hardware. There's no great way to plug a Windows PC into the TV and get a console experience, and the problems only get worse when you think about handhelds, VR headsets, cloud streaming, etc. For Valve to go into hardware, they had to have full access to modify the OS. And today there is official confirmation that Steam is coming to Chromebooks, likely using the same Proton compatibility in SteamOS. Decoupling Windows games from Windows is going to expand the options for PC gaming in a huge way.

There's still a chance publishers/devs could fuck this up by insisting on their shitty launchers, refusing to update anticheat, and generally not doing the bare minimum. But even if you only assess the Deck as a gaming handheld limited by the verified library, it's still looking sweet as hell.

LOL so now you're running back to your PC.

 

You're the ones who wanted to make the comparison between handheld hardware...........and now you're trying to run back to your PCs Which you'll need to play modern 3D AAA games, because those don't run well on the Steam Deck.

Yea of course. Only Nintendo chooses to limit themselves to outdated android tablet hardware. I'm not saying the Deck should be anyone's only system.

Can you imagine if when the Nintendo Switch came out............the sheep would suddenly start bashing the PS Vita, and then start doing comparisons to a device to came out 5 years ago.

 

TO make themselves feel good?

 

UNironically?

 

That is literally...........................literally....................what Lemij and THLOB are currently doing right now. That's how desperate they are.

There's a huge difference. When Vita came out, Sony had the PS4. PC players are on the technical cutting edge. Sheep are stuck 10 years in the past. There is no modern option for you.

Sheep are embarrassing themselves now. The leaks talk about a system in 2024 (😬), and the "Orin" chipset is designed for driverless cars, not high end 3d graphics. Get real.

In the end though, if Valve continues to improve Proton and SteamOS, it will undoubtedly be the superior platform for most games... as they're able to make system level tweaks to get around a lot of the issues Windows and it's API has.

If/when developers adopt Vulkan over DX12 as their first-choice graphics API, SteamOS will be in a really strong position to outperform Windows. Proton can basically pass the same code directly to the GPU without translation overhead. In addition to any performance gains they can squeak out of the API/driver, the average SteamOS install should have a lot fewer garbage background services running compared to most Windows systems.
