steam machine is just so interesting.
It almost would push me to replace my desktop AND media machine in the living room (which is literally like 10m away)... but it's still new territory.

The specs kinda just seem better than my existing desktop (3700x + RX580), and probably better than the media server (Ryzen5PRO 2400G)... so not only is it space saving, but heat and electricity saving too

The cost would just be way too high though. Or maybe I can just use a laptop then as my "desktop" , and then gaming would happen in the living room (if wife is not watching TV or gaming herself)... 🤔

but also
why replace something that works, just because thing is better. consumerism bad and all

anyone know where the #Ubisoft Connect launcher stores its log files?

I'd really like to know why this piece of shit gets stuck at "Preparing to launch your game".

The only error I got in the ocnsole was "System.Exception: wayland,x11 not available" and could be resolved by unseting the "SDL_VIDEODRIVER" using "env -u SDL_VIDEODRIVER %command%"

Wegen #Steam Machine: Vielleicht war das Problem nie propietäre Soft- und Hardware, sondern übergriffige Konzerne.

A video summarizing how #Steam works, the good but also ugly things about it. Many points I wasn't aware of before.

Yesterday, Valve debuted the #SteamFrame, a standalone #VR headset that unlocks your entire Steam library. And not just the VR games!

I compiled a bunch of #reporting into a single article to make the news more easily digestible! Check it out! #gaming #gamingnews #pcgaming #videogames #steam #steamos #linuxgaming

#Valve announ ced a new #Steam Controller,Console, and VR headset, which you all know about cause you were all awake when this dropped while my French ass was fast asleep.

Here are my thoughts!

I'm thrilled that #Linux will surpass 5% in the #Steam hardware and software survey in early 2026!
