"Hyperbole" is just a euphemism for strawman. No one said PC players don't buy shark cards. You made their argument look ridiculous by misrepresenting what they said. That isn't a good faith argument to begin with.

Yeah it can only get so good before Windows starts to show its ugly face. Steam Deck works so well because it runs games within it's own compositor with absolutely no bloat or distractions.

Good thing no one said that

What other metric would you use to measure "top sellers", flat units sold? $10 indies and games on sale would probably dominate that list. Seems the most sense to base it off of revenue.

[-] Gabagoolzoo@kbin.social 23 points 7 months ago

...what isn't clear about it, Steam top sellers list has always been total revenue of everything sold on Steam. Even F2P games with microtransactions are counted.

Caddy makes it a breeze. Just get a domain name, add an A record for your IP and put in this one line:

caddy reverse-proxy --from example.com --to 127.0.0.1:8096

Just like that, remote access over HTTPS.

I put off using Jellyfin for years because of comments like this. Finally made the switch three years ago and lo and behold... it's just a better Plex. More customizable, less intrusive and the syncplay actually works. There are a few issues client-side depending on your platform, but other than that I don't get the criticism.

[-] Gabagoolzoo@kbin.social 9 points 7 months ago

It's not impossible, you just need to name your files correctly. I haven't had a single issue with either Jellyfin or Plex. Used both for many years.

Incorrect again.

uh... ok. It really is that simple, I play games everyday on Linux and that is exactly how I've installed 100s of games, so I'm really not getting it... Are you talking about enabling Steam Play in the Steam settings or something?

I don’t know. The “that’s the story of the time I tried to play games on Linux” indicates that I, and most every other user, doesn’t care enough to spend all day burrowing through search engines and support threads to figure out how to just make the thing work.

I don't know why you are telling me this, I'm not the King of Linux or anything. Just thought I might help you with your problem, I don't know what I did for you to unload all this on me lol

Valve advised it would be generally available shortly after launch

Again... I can't find where they said that, maybe post the quote?

[-] Gabagoolzoo@kbin.social 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I spent a few minutes going over old interviews and didn't find anything insinuating that would be "soon". Most I could find was:

We actually want to work with them to make sure that, if they want to use SteamOS or offer a SteamOS based alternative, that can be done

Once it’s widely available, not only are we excited to see other manufacturers making their own handheld PC gaming devices, we’re excited to see people make their own SteamOS machines which could include small PCs that they put next to their TV

I think it's pretty silly to expect Valve to release SteamOS when it doesn't even have a (immutable) package manager, among many other missing features.

This right here is why they do like one interview a year, lmao.

What he actually said was "We're hoping [it will be] soon", but for whatever reason people's reading comprehension skills go out the window whenever there is a Valve interview.
