Why do people insist on using an occupier’s language, you’ve already lost when you do so. Someone taking land of another nation by force is not a settler, they are a terrorist.

It says right in the FAQ you don’t need to be a union member to apply, just someone in the US or Canada laid off from a game studio

Everyone laid off gets $2 at that rate. If it has momentum before the sale/fundraiser is over, maybe it will be $10.

😝 the disclaimer👌

Its companies like this, purchasing the subsidized Deck, with no revenue circling back to Valve, that contributed to them needing to charge full price for their Machine & Frame, raise prices on the Deck.

It’s not a welcoming community there, guy who manages it is kind of fringe

Low frame rate, black/white e-ink screens are obsolete: https://youtu.be/nHbA2-_qzH4

Its clear that PC is the future console. I’ve been buying in GOG primarily, and Steam only when it is not available there and has no chance of ever being there. Even your Android TV can play light games with GameNative installed

My biggest issue with games is that they still don’t just work™, all the time, and they need to be seemless for people like that.

You download a game on a couple devices it doesn’t work on one, or you need to tune the configuration, or even when it does start there are sometimes graphical issues (unrelated to GPU capability, like not all layers rendering), or ghost input (one game I have circles round and round like the R joystick was glued right even with just a mouse and keyboard), or modern games designed to work only with a mouse when the developer could have easily supported keyboard and controller.

Top tier meme 👌

GOG DRM-free digital games are ownership

Due to licensing agreements expiring with publishers, 500 titles of your digital games will no longer be available. We are also shutting down our digital storefront for this generation’s console next year, after which you will no longer be able to download any other titles onto your puny price inflated ssd. Please consider upgrading to the PS7 to continue paying to play online, where you can pay to purchase your games again. Thank you for your business.

Agreed, in my opinion it is the best VPN provider, with Mozilla (rents infrastructure) and Proton as next best

Better off using Gamescope and MPV + shaders for game and video scaling/enhancements respectively on GNU/Linux. Both free and both do scaling earlier on in the pipeline rather than after the fact.

If you game on Windows though, it is one of the better solutions

Including myself, I haven’t heard of anyone yet that did get on the list. It’s crazy that they more than sold out of what they have.

Just checked reddit though and some people are reporting they got on the queue, but no date is provided

Damn dude, KDE Plasma 6.4.3 came out nearly a year ago.

Will we need to wait another year for Bigscreen mode in 6.7 that came out recently?

That’s a long time to wait for a Arch-based distro that gets near instantaneous releases btw.

Here’s a repo to get you started, though you’ll need to either do some workaround in SteamOS to get it to stick since it is immutable (Steam Deck/Machine community has a couple ways of doing it), or use a regular game optimized distro like CachyOS: https://github.com/WayDroid-ATV/waydroid-androidtv-builds

Make Android TV shortcuts for apps that don’t normally work on Android, but have gamepad support: https://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/

You could also just do regular Waydroid, but some apps won’t give you the TV optimized version with gamepad/remote support, then you need to use something like this or Mantis: https://github.com/keymapperorg/KeyMapper

It has to be. Can you imagine shipping a HTPC without a decent interface? And the fact that it is just a different mode within Plasma Desktop rather than a distinct shell means seemless switching like the steam client without having to log out then back in

You could always install Waydroid TV and get the apps from Aurora Store or Google Play for full resolution

Exactly!
