Looks kinda cool, wishlisted for later.

Btw, a new Fediverse instance was recently setup for Indie Games https://indie-ver.se/ Why not try creating a community there, or if it’s a bit too small see if the creators of the instance can make a “this is my indie game” type of community for self promotions.

I still have no idea what it means for anybody. But cautiously optimistic, I suppose.

From what I recall that wasn’t the case before, it was one time. Just Cause 3 is 10 years old so maybe the Denuvo subscription didn’t apply.

Username checks out because you know there’s definitely a nutjob behind that handle

It runs Linux out of the box not Windows, so it’s not normal. Not to mention it’s barely upgradeable, HDD and RAM only. I know some prebuilts lock you out of upgrading but you can buy plenty that you can fully modify yourself.

Unfortunately “console people who just want to plug something in and start playing” is a pretty big slice of the type of people that like playing multiplayer games especially AAAs which won’t always work. Not to mention they will still be served with a PC game so there will be all of the regular options like graphics that PC players are exposed to.

I’m really hoping Valve proves me wrong but I don’t think I’d recommend this device to a console only player as their first PC.

At least the SteamDeck was a different form factor, this will find it difficult to compete with consoles forget normal pre-builts, especially if its more expensive than both

It’s a bit of a hard sell in an environment where being economical is the first thing on people’s minds. That’s a very niche audience. People who don’t want to build their own PC, don’t want a normal prebuilt, and are okay being less powerful than a console, and will not to mention not play a ton of multiplayer games out of the box. It’s not going to capture anyone from the console market and its not going to capture the hardcore PC nerds.

DOA already if it’s priced more than that. Who is this marketed to?

Where’s Lemmy gold when you need it

This is already supposed to be a stripped down Windows version for handhelds

Its sheer flexibility and public domain license are definitely big factors

Didn’t Snapchat have this for ages? I don’t get what’s so surprising

Not going to happen, quite a few phones have 65W+ chargers nowadays which wireless can’t replicate

Have the primary contributers moved to CoMaps as well?

Comaps is a fork I think. Organic maps will live on

Facebook gaming was a small “phase” in gaming but it was really fun and social. I had a blast playing games like Farmville, Mafia Wars, Restaurant City

Been hearing this for the past 3 years

That actually makes me want to play it more. Solid use of technology.

Don’t forget the occasional anime OP/ED
