I’d love to know and see the games myself. There was not a single kid mentioned in the article. It mentions “some kids” did it, but the article is speculation citing a reddit post, no one knows if AI was the reason for the programs shutdown from what I read.

That same person also suggested, however, that funding cutbacks could have been an even bigger factor in the decision, saying that “projects like this are the first to get cut” when government budgets get tight.

Feels like AI is engagement bait here 🪤

Was expecting worse framerates but the videos make it look almost tolerable.

I hope this gets better, because fuck Nintendo. They deserve to be blindsided by an emulator right when the gaming is getting good.

Vibes cranked up nicely at the end 😮‍💨

Not as harsh as OP on the deck, but it definitely has more issues than those two. However, I’d say most of the problems are caused by Steam’s Big Picture Mode.

I still love my deck its convenient and powerful, but I hate the broken keyboard, borked store navigation & terrible library function, incompatibility with my PC (mindlessly turning one game on during the other system’s play will sign me out of the former system, understandableish but frustrating), getting flashbanged by desktop mode because the brightness will reset to ~65% >o< Not had much screen scaling issues, although wifi does get weak a couple rooms away.

The great casual controls, mini pc, and quick lazy game access makes it tolerable but these issues have been reported for years in some cases and Valve has not fixed them. The Steam Deck is phenomenal but not without faults. Large amount? Perhaps not, but they are ever present depending on your use case.

I go to my local nature sanctuary. There’s a tiny lake with a nicely shaded moss-covered rock but it gets just the right amount of sun for an hour, around 1pm in summer. Perfect for napping.

Best with a bit of wind for leaf ambience and sometimes the ducks are hanging out too. Very peaceful. :)
