What type of support and cooperation? And where it is documented, so I can read about it?

it does not suggest PC and PS5. We don’t know what cross-buy refers to. It could be for their upcoming handheld and PS5 / PS6 maybe.

I take it.

I told you that it does not address my issue. No need to be mad, I have no bad intentions. I expressed what issue I have and adding the game as a non-Steam game does not solve the issues I have.

This does not address the issue I brought up in my reply. Besides the brought up point, it would not solve all other issues I would have. I know the functionality to add non-Steam games since I am on Steam over 12 years ago.

I’m a fan of Valve and Steam too. But you cannot deny that Valve does shitty stuff too. In example Valve is the company who either invented or popularized Loot Boxes. And they don’t do anything about the Black Market for the item trading and selling, such as Counter Strike skins and so on. And there are other little things that could be done, but nothing else upsets me as this.

But besides that, for the most part I love Valve. The commitment to support on Linux is unmatched in the gaming world. As a private company, Valve can do whatever they want. I genuinely think that PC gaming wouldn’t be this good without Valve. If anything, Microsoft would have the power… which in an alternate universe people have to suffer.

I would buy from GOG too, if they provided Linux support in form of an official launcher. And if available also official Linux builds. Back in the days GOG did that, but they stopped doing it. And before someone comes after me, I know there are alternative launchers on Linux. But I don’t want to give GOG money for work others doing it for free. I don’t want support a company who only cares about Windows.

That’s debatable. There are many games I do not consider to be good, but sold many copies / licenses. Same is true for the other side, where lot of good games sold poorly. So therefore I wouldn’t say it’s bizarre. The game is just not for you (and me).

Still impressive that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe got sold so many, as it is only a “Re-release” on a single platform.

Well, you don’t have to use them. So they can’t force you to use Ai features.

The wait for Half-Life 3 is longer.

Thursday’s layoffs announcement arrives on the same day that Square Enix shared its intention to have the majority of its QA and debugging work handled by generative AI within the next two years.

I’ve used a few in the back and my actual favorite was Surfingkeys. But regarding that, there was some controversies, so I stopped using it. And recently installed Vimium-C too, because the original was no longer developed. But it’s not only that, because this fork has features the original does not have and was forked in 2014. Meaning it diverged from original since 11 years.

Project Introduction to Vimium-C

Pretty cool. I know consoles could do this already and always wondered if it would be possible on Steam Deck too.

Thunderbird. I even use Thunderbird as my RSS reader too.

JSON output support for various commands, making it easier to parse flatpak command output programmatically

Nice. Instead manually parsing the stdout data, now there is a “proper API” to get information.

It’s actually the first time I used to do Ai assisted unit test creation. There were multiple iterations and sometimes it never worked well. And the most important part is, as you say, think through and read every single test case and edit or replace if necessary. Some tests are really stupid, especially stuff that is already encoded in the type system through Rust. I mean you still need a head for revision and know what you want to do.

I still wonder if I should have just gave it the function signature without the inner workings of the function. That’s an approach I want to explore next time. I really enjoyed working with it for the tests, because writing tests is very time consuming. Although I am not much of test guy, so maybe the results aren’t that good anyway.

Edit: In about 250 unit tests (which does not cover all functions sadly) for a cli json based tool, several bugs were found thanks to this approach. I wouldn’t have done it manually.

I like writing code myself, its a process I enjoy. If the LLM write it for me, then I would only do the worse part of the job: debugging. Also for many people let the Ai write code means less understanding. Otherwise you could have written it yourself. However there are things when the Ai is helpful, especially for writing tests in a restrictive language such as Rust. People forget that writing the code is one part of the job, the other is to depend on it, debug and build other stuff on top.

We should not believe every accusation that sounds plausible, until its proven. Why? Because they need a boo-man, and whats better than accusing someone who is no longer in charge? It’s easy to accuse a person who is known to have done bad decisions. But that does not mean that every bad decision was by that person.

If this is true, man that guy sucks. But it sounds too easy and good to be true in my opinion.

You shouldn’t feel any lag at all, even on Bluetooth if its working properly. Maybe there are other things going on that adds to the overall lag. You should test another controller that is not using the xpadneo driver.

I quickly searched the web: https://superuser.com/questions/1653283/how-to-resolve-the-input-lag-when-using-xbox-series-xs-with-bluetooth-on-linux and the person solved the issue by updating controller firmware, the Linux Kernel and the xpadneo driver itself. But its an old post, so maybe not what you need to do. I don’t know what distribution and version you have and if you can update at all.
