Quoting: ElectricPrismThe name Mono hasn't aged well, I could imagine CoronaGame wouldnt be too popular either. Corona Beer sales probably aren't too hot either.

I'll beat the dead horse a little too -- stigmatized names like Gimp are going to sound offputting to donors. This isn't hard.

I wish them well with their efforts to transform and safeguard their ethos and values.

Hmm... What's wrong with 'mono'?

eli5; It's another name for herpes

That would be great, I just play casual bot deathmatch games these days and custom games in the server browser in cs:go like `surf_`.

As such even though I have hundreds of house I didn't qualify for the beta invite.

(lets face it, during the early years too of csgo and dota the last thing I wanted to deal with was the game crashing and then the matchmaking system harassing me because I "left a match" and penalizing me for internet issues, power outages, or crashes due to general buginess.)

I hope they greatly expand their invite, it should be interesting.

I also hope that there are a decent amount of DeathMatch Surfing maps in the Custom Server Browser, I particularly miss the RPG of CS:S and CS 1.6 -- csgo surf is meh -_-

Edit: On a side note, I hope this also leads to the release of the Source 2 Engine so we can see mods update to the new engine from 2013.

Quoting: steamdeckguyBRUH

I bought MCC for my steam deck back in February when it was broken. Played through a couple of campaigns then uninstalled.

You mean to tell me THE EXACT SAME DAY I decide to check on the status of multiplayer and redownload after hearing that it was fixed in April, that it breaks again???

WTF

Exactly, reasons like this are why I don't play Halo daily anymore. Microsoft needs to step up their game and not be so nepotistic.

I could play MCC every day for a decade and have fun -- but when I don't know if I'm going to have the whole thing come crashing down and break, additional new obnoxious microsoft account logins, hard-anti-cheats, etc... I am sick of being poked and prodded. I just end up playing CounterStrike instead because it's easy and reliable, and with CS2 around the corner and in beta now it's not like I'm a choosing beggar.

Thanks everyone who puts a word in, I DO want to see them sort this out real soon. Here's to hope ^.

Bummer, good thing I haven't got sucked into their mcc deck multiplayer again for fear of this very possibility.

I hope their goodwill is plain, and we see them fix it very soon.

I bet a lot of their customers have decks, we'll see if they are enough to wake the lion up to do something.

This gives me fuzzy feelz.

Also, the modern proverb: `Fuck around and find out` rings the bell.

During these dark times, it's very heartwarming to find hope in these exemplars.

May we all be like them too and say no to tyranny, and tyranny disguised as civility aswell.

There's no place for tyranny in our free world.

Congratulations Valve & Steam. I have that ugly puke green for my Steam Deck controller and my KDE theme and it's incredibly charming and fun.

It makes me feel like I am playing on a Aperture Science or Black Mesa Research Facility computer from another age when in desktop mode.

The perfect companion. Love it.

Hmm "TLC 3D"

IIRC TLC (3 tri) was the good one over QLC (4 quad). I can't remember if 3D was the good one or the bad one, but 2230 considered, it's not like there are many options.

Edit:

I own WD, Sabrent, and Corsair NVMEs in all my Linux rigs and so far I prefer the sabrents -- they were ahead when Gen4 came out, their prices were competitive vs others and their enclosures were made in the usa, I'ved owned many NVME enclosures and build quality varies widely -- but having a sturdy all aluminum case is a big sell.

Anyways here's Sabrents 2230 2TB: https://sabrent.com/products/sb-213q-2tb

I am not sure if there are wattage considerations brand to brand but I did buy their 3x 1TBs for various Steam Decks as gifts.

I would try this WD product, but IIRC my last 3D WD was kindof meh but maybe that's because it was a gen out of date, not totally sure, and I think always wise to compare review scores and try to filter out bot reviews at reviewmeta to get a better idea of what's actually good and what's shilled harder.

Either way, I'm not complaining to have new options -- I think 2230 for SteamDeck, hobby and eventually phone will be a big deal so the faster it gains ground the better.

Edit 2:

QuoteWhile their actual press release didn't mention the Steam Deck, and focused more on the ROG Ally

Oh wow. Yeah not a good look.

Quotethe 1TB is only available direct from WD and for now the 2TB model is exclusive to Best Buy.

Gross. My mojo can only take so much disappointment. Yeah the 2TB is the only model i'd be interested in, and that's a HUGE deal-breaker.

Really makes me reconsider owning (Western Digital) HGST 7200rpm drives -- I don't like it when my companies have sleezy business habits.

Quoting: spacemonkeyThe Steam Deck has awesome performance, but for portable VR (like the Quest) we need 3664x1920 resolution and at least 72fps.

Exactly. During Deck R&D videos they commented that they wanted to do Deck for a while but technology wasn't where they needed it to be to make it feasible until post 2020/2021.

I suspect the VR reality is the same, it may take 1 or 2 years more before they have chips that can deliver the minimum resolution & framerate.

To the guy commenting on Valve taking on Apple VR too, I really don't think Valve sees themselves as competing with Apple, but I suspect the notion was tounge & cheek ;P
