companies never learn somehow.

i hope those talks are fun to watch, not just for us nerds, but for the average joe...
i wish they take that more like in an E3,TGS etc aproach where new games are announced, but i doubt they will.

Quoting: BlackBloodRum
Quoting: Linux_Rocks
Quoting: PenglingGiven how gaming typically drives adoption of technology, it's nice to see multiple talks on the subject scheduled for this event. Looking forward to hearing more!
Porn too. It's why VHS beat out Betamax. lol
And we can also thank military usage, and development, for a significant push in technology over the years
so... the militaries were really into porn?

Steam Deck a 'stable target for a couple years' so no Steam Deck 2 for a while

Quoting: constAre there ARM chips in the league of M1 available to anyone but Apple by now? Afaik, there is nothing in that league, especially with the optimizations for x86 emulation, like register handling in hardware. Box86 certainly is impressive, but hardware support is hardware support.
afaik, no, but even regular arms should be efficient in power per watt compared to x86.

but as i said, translating something from x86 to arm will waste a lot of power, so this might be an pointless save.

Party Animals is really fun on Steam Deck and desktop Linux
25 September 2023 at 8:45 pm UTC

looks fun, i liked the music, art direction and especially how the characters move, not as if they were animals, but people using animal costumes, you can see that the neck isnt properly connected to the bony, always swinging arround

Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding

Quoting: RomlokIt's true Unity isn't likely going anywhere for a while - there's a lot of existing back catalogue and games too far along in development to switch. But I wouldn't be surprised if they lose significant market share in the coming years. And yeah, a lot of that will likely go to Unreal.

their main strength is their asset store.
migrating from unity to godot is like going from windows to linux, it dont matter if linux is better, if it has an worse ecosystem who you rely uppon.

Steam Deck a 'stable target for a couple years' so no Steam Deck 2 for a while
23 September 2023 at 11:51 pm UTC

couple can mean 2, or mean a few, a lot...
i hope they wait at least 5 years, but the competition surely is making some pressure with their marketing, the fact that people dont know how good the UX is until they experience it help nothing.
Quoting: BotonoskiPerhaps if projects like Box86 improve, they can make a Deck lite running off ARM. Something smaller, passively cooled, super battery life, focused on being a handheld Steam Link but fully capable of playing PC games from at least the 2010s.
That's under the assumption ARM is more power efficient than modern x86_64 processors, not sure if that's actually true anymore I haven't really looked into the subject much and AMD really seems to be absolutely killing it in the erea of power efficiency
I anticipate the Deck will become at least 5 years old before they really start considering a full on Deck 2 in any case.

its still more efficient, otherwise apple wouldnt make m1, but the issue is emulatiog another arch while being more efficient at the same time? doubt it.

breaking news guys!
as part of the deal with Uk in order to be able to purchase activision blizzard, microsoft agreed that ubisoft should have streaming rights to call of duty, and be able to sub licence it to any cloud provider.
and guess what ubisoft requested? proton support!
