Like most worker cooperatives, it probably wouldn’t last a year.

Bleeding hearts always clot surprisingly fast when it comes to those they don’t like.

According to my mathematician wife, “it’s got the same problem most paradoxes do in that it’s self-referential”.

Anything Xenoblade, but especially 1 and X.

I got bored of Undertale quickly, but the OST is an all-time great.

Shovel Knight is really good.

Anything by David Wise, especially Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2.

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest has the best music in the entire series, don’t @ me.

The Grandia theme.

The Nier games have gorgeous music.

Just got my first Costco membership and looking forward to trying Kirkland beans for the first time. $15 for a 2.5 pound bag. Usually 8 o’clock is my go-to, but if Kirkland is close to comparable, I’ll probably switch.

Whoa, Zipf’s Law is right again!

This is called a “folk etymology”. Great story, but completely false.

While this would be great, it’s also a little unfortunate, since the general desktop experience on Steam Deck is IIRC currently a bit below other comparable distros, and I’d hate for people to get an incomplete picture of what the Linux desktop experience can be like. Hopefully the time that’s led up to the wider release of SteamOS has been spent on getting that desktop experience up to snuff.

Gamesir seems to be vying for that crown of late - their price to feature ratio is impressive.

Edit: Yes, they’ll face the same tariff pressures - I’m just noting that 8BitDo isn’t the clear market leader the way they were 3-5 years ago.

I love these updates so much! Thanks for all of the time and effort!

That did occur to me, so I only gave them my old number.

Yes, I’m aware of that, but being irrational alone is not sufficient. There are an infinite number of irrational base-10 numbers that only contain combinations of 0 and 1, for example, and none of them will contain my phone number, credit card, etc.

Not all irrational numbers are normal numbers, and only normal numbers are guaranteed to behave as described in the OP.

I thought pi hadn’t been proven to be normal, only conjectured to. My phone number isn’t in the digits of pi that we’ve discovered so far, for example: https://www.angio.net/pi/

That’s fair. More 9070 XTs for me!

I agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.

I am aware of that. It was part of my decision to move to Linux (and to keep my Windows 10 partition).

That doesn’t change the fact that it also doesn’t work on Linux, which was the point of my original comment.

I look forward to Monado progressing, but in the meantime Linux is not a solution for gamers who care about VR and own a WMR headset.

What? I am absolutely holding Microsoft to that standard - I quit using their operating system and switched to Linux, for god’s sake. If I could use Linux for VR and delete my M$ partition, I’d do it literally right now. But I can’t, because Linux doesn’t support it.

And, once again, the conversation is literally about VR here - it’s completely disingenuous to claim that a platform that at least 10% the market runs on is “a tiny subset”.

what you’re failing to recognise is that Microsoft pays teams of hundreds to thousands of developers, and Linux is completely free and donation/grant-based

Wow, you’re right! That’s never once occurred to me. Wow, what a revelation that I totally failed to recognize after over a year of running Linux on every computer in my household up until this moment on the Linux gaming community. Thank goodness a brilliant individual like you could finally break through my ignorance and make me aware of this little-known fact.

Jesus.

Your concept that because of its open nature it should support everything from the history of gaming and computing is an unreasonable expectation.

Please quote where I said that. Like, a literal, actual quote.

I’ve really had it with people in this thread shoving their words down my throat. Like, it’s really getting old.

Here’s what I said (again). Everyone reading this thread, please pay attention and actually READ this time:

“Linux has no obligation to support my headset. They don’t have an obligation to support VR at all! However, when the question on the table is ‘is Linux gaming ready’, the answer should be ‘yes, but’, and one of the (quickly shrinking number of) buts that must be included is that Linux is not fully VR ready”

Is it true that Microsoft is also not fully VR ready, and that they don’t even support the VR platform they themselves suckered thousands of people into? YES!!

Is Microsoft also not gaming ready, since you seem so hung up on what Microsoft does? Absolutely, and in many ways they’re even less gaming ready than Linux is, imo.

But, you know who does at the very least tell people that they don’t support WMR?

Microsoft.
