I do not have a gaming laptop though, and if Steam Deck has taught me anything, it’s that a Machine from Steam will have unnaturally long relevance and pretty cool support from Linux enthusiasts.

I want them all, but I don’t know which order to get them in. I have a PS5+VR2, a Quest 3, and a Steam Deck, so I’m thinking Steam Machine first, since it has a controller, I can stop buying newer games from PlayStation, and I might be able to use my PSVR2 with a PC adapter. Then get a Frame later on after we get an idea of how “spatial computing” develops on Linux, and maybe a pass-through getup becomes available for it.

But holy hell would I be happy to rid myself of Meta as soon as humanly possible.

I’m honestly flabbergasted that there’s no way to remove items from the “recents” tab of the files app without outright deleting them from your phone entirely. And the “recents” tab in the preview app shamelessly displays files previewed from apps and directories marked as hidden.

Lmao

My goodness! How did you upscale that image so beautifully??

The taxes are really high, so Nordic folk tend to base their online businesses in countries with lax tax laws then live off the proceeds in their home countries where the benefits are great.

I don’t like how the specific IP address is simply no longer listed.

Either OP edited their post or you should go back and read it again. They just said the wait might be longer. They didn’t say valve said anything.

There’s no reaching. A car is a vehicle, but not all vehicles are cars. When someone says 2026, it is a year. There is zero implication of one half or the other. I think the omission of indicating the first half could be a slip up, but is worth noting. It could be interpreted as a suggestion.

I bring up promise because people tend to freak out when things get delayed, as if it were a promise. I mean to imply that we should expect a delay, and be pleasantly surprised if it launches any earlier.

Does this make sense?

And there it is.

OP opined that the wait might be longer, which isn’t false.

Furthermore, “We hope to ship in 2026, but…” specifically references 2026, and not the first half, which as I pointed out had only been referenced as their goal.

The first half of this year is still 2026, sure, but 2026 isn’t just the first half of this year. 2026 by itself is a whole year.

Do you see what this has to do with the conversation?

Metal Gear Solid and Kojima games in general. I think it’s a Kojima trait to make his games feel more like work than fun.

I managed to get into Death Stranding (on my second attempt) and came to understand the vibe. But I have little interest in delving into the sequel until I’m a retired old man looking for some purpose to life.

I am very interested in what he does with movies, though.

He probably doesn’t want to disclose that CSAM was included.

I can smell it from here.

I hate Microsoft and I would consider buying it if I can purge it of windows and install Steam OS on it. :)

My assumption is that it’s a living room PC with a windows equivalent of steam big-picture mode on it.

But knowing Microsoft, there will be shenanigans.

Just to be fair, “Our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year has not changed” clearly states a goal and not a promise.

Why does that foot have a hole in it?? Shoot it!!!

Is there actual evidence that you’ll actually be able to play PC games from competing store fronts? I’m enough of a corpo skeptic to expect this to turn out to be a locked down PC that exclusively operates through the Microsoft store.

You want some reasons why they shouldn’t? The PS5 is wildly successful. Moving to PC means they need to migrate the PS store to PC with all their players and their libraries as well, probably renegotiating on publishing rights for every game on PS, spending all that money, and then ultimately end up with fewer customers, 70% on Sony titles and nothing from third parties sold to people playing on Steam.

Or they can just keep doing what they’re doing and get 100% on Sony titles, 30% on everything else, and remain the dominant gaming destination for most households.

Honest question. As someone who has used and loved MacOS for many years, what would be the best Linux distro for me?
