So glad I got my Fold 6 last year to upgrade from my Fold 3. The removal of pen support is a unnegotiable downgrade for me. Can't say I'm a fan of the larger screen and thinner profile either, the Fold 3 proved to me that a narrow and thick device is a far more usable device than normal form factors because of how easy it is to hold it. I already find the 6 way too big.

Smae thing that Nvidia does with OpenGL. Their driver handles a lot erroneous out of spec behaviour so developers think their game works fine but the moment you run it on AMD or Intel GPUs, you get all sorts of issues because they actually implement the spec accurately.

Yea the only target audience for the Steam Controller seems to be people who want to play kbm games with a controller if they're playing on a TV or something. But I reckon most PC gamers who get a controller use it to play on their usual PC setup for games that play better on a controller, they'll just use kbm for their kbm games.

Isn't there some form of sampling bias here though? The kind of people who generally would care about these things likely also care about interoperability and would be on Android. I wouldn't be surprised if iPhone users simply don't care if Apple demands them to do anything.

I didn't think a show could make me laugh harder than Nichijou did but Arawi and Kyoani did it. It was way better than I could have ever hoped for. The whole champon scene killed me and I actually had to pause the show because of how much it tickled me. And man did it really make me miss the dry champon I had in Nagasaki.

The fact they are making changes to windows and partnering with Asus on releasing Xbox hardware in the same space is more than enough evidence, but also, the steam deck is a tiny part of the market(it might be the best but it is still tiny).

I do wonder how this works for offline play which is fairly common for handheld PCs. Does Game Pass work offline?

I don't think it will simply because the way game pass is implemented is via the MS Store version of those games. Using Steam would likely require them to switch to the Steam version of games and might not be that straightforward? Who knows.

Some employees are even being stalked just so that they can figure out when these shipments are coming.

What is wrong with these people?

Piracy always exists and will always be there once you get an awful deal as a customer. That's what's already happening to streaming services. If they don't learn from that, they'll just suffer later on.

If I plan to play the game long term and potentially play it on my Deck. The only reason I have Game Pass is for CoD because the player base for that game dies in less than a year when a new one is about to come out.

No worries, it is a pretty daunting document even as a native English speaker.
