Pretty sure that isn't the delivery room.

With all of this talk about Micrsoft being a mess, I'm not surprised that Valve wants to push devs towards Linux development.

Valve itself only exists because a few ex Microsoft guys wanted to do games better, no surprise they aren’t interested in investing into Windows. Despite the fact that gaben probably wrote windows 95 :classiclol:

i just remembered valve launched steam machines without any windows emulation whatsoever and just expected the industry to suddenly start churning out native linux ports for their sake lol

Yeah, that was definitely a misstep. This has way different energy to it.

At least they aren't leaving it to third party companies to make the decks like they did with steam machines, because boy those were real hit or miss.

Having spent many days staying with my wife in the hospital it really helps to have stuff to keep everyone occupied, and for the support to know when to be there for their partner and when to back off and let them chill for a while.

The use and (ab)use of proton with the deck is amazing. You want to install the Epic store for all those free games you grabbed? Run the installer through proton! Then run the Epic store itself through proton! Any games run through the store after it is launched through proton also use proton! What the hell?!

I mean eventually Lutris support will probably eliminate the need to do this but it's hilarious the lengths you can go.

I’m confused, why is looking at a phone better? Do you honestly think looking at Twitter or something is actually better.

It’s not 2004 you don’t need to be that sad self hating nerd anymore.

it's not being a self-hating nerd, don't you find there's a time and a place for this hobby?

pathetic is the word for guys who get really incensed when you imply they should save video games for a time when their wives aren't going through labor. if you want make something out of being in the hospital for two months, good for you, that wasn't happening in the post being made fun of

The complete lack of security features on the Deck is kind of worrisome if your use case is in a semi private room at the hospital.

Sorry everything you say plays exactly into what I said. I don’t give a single poo poo what you do or do not do while waiting anywhere. It doesn’t matter. The fact you seem determined to set some arbitrary limit on what strangers can do during their downtime is so weird and confusing to me

Hospitals are like the most boring places on Earth. I spent 3 days in a hospital when I was a teenager, newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. They wheeled in a TV with an N64 and a few games. Played lots of Excitebike 64.

I spent two months in one with my wife in 2019. It’s a lot easier now with Wi-Fi, laptops, streaming, etc. I even did most of a master’s class while I was there, leaving only to take care of the dogs and sleep at home.

Goons trying to “own” people who are going through this are sad but I guess I should be happy they haven’t had to spend a large amount of time sitting in a hospital room. Labor won’t take two months but it can take several days and you have to keep everyone occupied so they don’t hassle the nurses or go stir crazy.
