I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to come up with a reply to this, but I just can’t get my head around it.
imo, if you’re interested in a person, acting is always the correct thing to do, because it’s the only thing that resolves aforementioned ambiguity. But acting also always involves asking. Asking someone out on a date, or just to meet up. In regards to physical stuff, asking if you can touch or kiss somebody. Is there something I miss here?
You don’t need SteamOS to game on Linux. I’ve heard good things about Bazzite, and there other Linux distros that focus on gaming.
SteamOS will most likely be deployed on other handheld PCs, not desktop PCs. The handheld PCs that came out in response to the deck’s release (or before) usually run Windows.
Android is not bad because Android itself is bad (well… it kinda is but let’s just assume it isn’t), but because the phone manufacturers lock down their phones’ hardware. They do this to force you into their ecosystem. With SteamOS, you already have an ecosystem, which is Steam. There is (at least for now) a clear distinction between Hardware manufacturer and software provider.
For now at least Androidization is nothing you should worry about. Maybe in 10, 20 years. edit: and even then it’s never going to be as bad as with the smartphones
This may be nothing more than some kind of morbid curiosity, but I really want to know what these “neural rendering capabilities” turn out to be. Maybe it’s cool stuff.
Those are very common and super easy to propagate via cuttings. Just ask your friends or neighbours if you can get one for free :)
Pirate a plant today!
No need to burn it down it’s gonna crumble on its own.

Minecraft can’t be revolutionized. It needs to die. People need to start rethinking block games and their possibilities. We need the devs who are currently modding the shit out of a corporate corpse to actually design the tech behind a new game. It needs to go beyond mere content creation.
This may be feasible for WQHD, but upscaling from 960x540 > 1920x1080 doesn’t really sound like an upgrade from WXGA anymore.
Another problem is that while there are some 3D games that support internal upscaling (FSR etc), not every game has the option to scale the UI indepently so things look extremely small at higher resolutions. The games that support both should be an exception and look better on a higher DPI screen.
I do believe that you could either slightly increase the resolution and screensize to 1600x1000 or 1600x900, or just use a WQHD-screen so you can get clean 2x upscaling from 720p.
1280x800 is 16:10, a standard aspect ratio, and isn’t far from 16:9 at all. 720p (HD) is 1280x720
The steamdeck has a super awkward resolution that doesn’t fit into any standard aspect ratio. Which creates problems with some games.
Games don’t need to run on the native resolution.
Yeah they don’t. The Deck’s resolution is fine. Do you have any examples of games that don’t run well on the deck?
edit:
Playing a lower resolution on a screen that has a higher one will generally also make the image look nicer
No. Native resolution always looks better
I did notice that about Sumeru, and I fought some of Natlan’s new foes in the Spiral Abyss.
Damn, maybe it’s not a bad idea to get back into Genshin some time in the future, and just focus on the story and characters. Most combat will be trivial with my Raiden anyway, so… Because I’m kinda interested in Fontaine, really wanna know how Genshin handles a more technologically advanced region, and how that influences the writing. Also intrigued because you wrote that Furina’s arc is really good edit: or like something along those lines I have a real smooth brain sorrryyyy
Will try.
I do believe that without any visions, Genshin’s world would be or even was in a much more… antiquated state.
Only one example that cmnes to my mind: the Millelith consist predominantly of men – I bet there’s more.
I’m not saying non-vision bearers are badly/stereotypically written in Genshin (the peeps you explore the Chasm with for example I really liked, some shopkeepers are really cool etc etc), all I’m saying is that they still sometimes have a job or a position in the social hierarchy that, from a conservative point of view or whatever, would be seen as appropriate for their gender. While in contrast, vision-bearers just don’t care. I just really like the idea of them being pioneers in that regard, that’s all.
Hope this makes sense. You may still disagree I regularly talk shit haha
No that’s not what I… fuuuuck just forget about it lmao my English sucks ass
Played Genshin for 2 weeks when it came out, dug out my account about half a year ago then stopped halfway through Sumeru again, after realizing I don’t wanna waste my time on it.
I would’ve loved Genshin so much if it only was a single player game, even if that meant that it was limited in scope.
I’m not making sense maybe. Genshin women feel like people. In terms of their characterisation they are people with motivations, not women with motivations if that makes sense?
Yes it does make sense because it’s in the lore even lol. Everybody whose ambition is strong and resolut receives a vision, and with that powers which represent the ambition or may be used to live up to their destiny or whatever. You probably know what I talk about
Another factor may be that this amount of power levels the playing field, at least among vision-bearers and archons. They are not bound or dependent on anything or anybody anymore after recieving their vision. It is possible, but really hard to fuck up the character writing with such good story and lore premises
I own a Steam Deck too and I can’t see a Full HD display being necessary at this form factor/display size. 1280x800 is a bit small, yes, but I really want someone to try 1600x1000 which I theoretically consider the sweet spot if you have slightly beefier graphics to support it. Also FreeSync or something similar would be cool imo.
16GB is just enough. According to a guy who modded his Deck to have 32GB RAM it only reduced stutters in AAA games, but at least 24 GB would be a nice have to be future proof. Keep in mind that the 16GB also hold video memory and games are getting hungrier for VRAM.
RGB lights anywhere are just an unnecessary gimmick. This is but a personal opinion and comes down to preference and taste.
Oh trackpads! Nice

When will they learn?
I know that being unhappy (as an individual) can lead to inhibition. Procrastination, addiction, escapism, doomerism etc. “Happy people” (whatever that means) do change things and are interested in change, but not necessarily in revolution.
I think a revolution can only happen if some people are so miserable that they have nothing to lose. Because the amount of people who aren’t miserable, and are still willing to sacrifice their comfort to help working towards a goal greater than themselves is pretty low.
Is it more important to focus on the former or the latter type? idk!
Yes, a Steam Deck is a viable alternative to a budget gaming PC. But if you would want to buy a dock and peripherals and keep it docked most of the time I’d say go with the PC.
For me personally, the biggest plus of a Steam Deck was that I didn’t have to get peripherals (because my living situation is a bit complicated at the moment). And they’re dirt cheap, got a used LCD512 GB one for 320€.
edit: I own a laptop too. If I didn’t, I would’ve gotten a new one
Thank you so much! Looks very interesting indeed. Definitely gonna watch the video when I’m on WiFi again.
