1·15 days agoI’m sure either the workarounds will get to be trivial, or Valve will make it work sans Steam. It just needs time to cook

I forwarded to someone I know who loves fighting style games, and has experience developing games. It sounds like a lot of people are willing to help with a varying level of topics.
My recommendation would be now to try to orchestrate everyone. If someone is offering help with artwork for example, have something they can work on; you may be able to get a full 3D model game if enough interest, I agree though that initially scoping for pixel art is a safe bet (maybe pixel art vs 3d model depends on device capabilities, or is an option you can toggle between). Make it collaborative so if multiple people for example have ideas about how to do the skill balancing (attack, defence, speed), they can all contribute to come together for the best implementation.
Good luck. Would love to see it on Apple/Android TV, Switch, and x86_64/ARM/RISC-V GNU/Linux. Make sure you figure out the right game architecture ahead of time to avoid issues later on (e.g. confirm if C++, C, Rust, or the Godot language is best for the project)
It’s a good start. It only supports showing already downloaded games, not downloading other games at the moment.
I read their release notes though and if you make game purchases from Heroic they get some referral credits, so hopefully that helps them keep iterating.
The small size is probably the biggest factor since it fits well under the TV, as is the I/O including HDMI-CEC, dedicated radio for controllers, reference hardware for games to work well on, everything just works.
Desktop PC is where I do my customizations, 20 HDD bays & 6 SSD, etc, but I run Debian on there
Wooo! I am ready to purchase the Steam Machine whenever it comes out and install CachyOS on it. Can’t easily install KDE Bigscreen + Waydroid TV on SteamOS. Lifetime software & security updates regardless. I expect with the AI bubble it will be at least $1k unfortunately, and won’t be available in white at launch.
Then the Nvidia Shield + SSD + Game Native on the main floor where the Steam Machine will go, will replace the Raspberry Pi in the bedroom, the Raspberry Pi will become another MotionEyeOS security camera, and the main desktop will remain connected downstairs. It is the perfect middle ground between the Shield and Desktop PC. And the Steam Controller is the best controller for couch/bed gaming. Only thing that would make it better is a detachable keyboard on the bottom, but maybe there will be aftermarket Bluetooth ones.
My siblings and I have about 2000 games between us with family sharing and on other platforms (shout out to [email protected] & SteamDB sale tracking for helping us get a lot of the way there), it will be more appealing to play multiplayer games there in the living room. And that’s not including all of the legally available retro console games from the Internet Archive via IAGL for “research”. Yes, it’ll be more than a PS5 or Xbox One X 1 S 720 or whatever they call the latest generation, but no console could ever match this experience; we even have PS and Xbox “exclusives” for sale on Steam these days. What a time to be alive!

Money Manager Ex can track currency and assets in one convenient location, and it even has an Android app

1·2 months agoGreat projection, it makes a lot of sense!
111·2 months agoI recently tried to airdrop a file for somebody’s iDevice to another one of theirs and it didn’t work.
Free, open source, and cross platform LocalSend worked though
I’ve found even harder to find than live sports are live TV premium channels for shows. All my previous places I used to go to are either not working anymore, paid, or only work in browser with a good adblocker. Lmk if you find a suitable solution
