xionzui , in Latest Steam hardware survey, resolution results seem off?

The 60/20 of two 1080p and two 1440p seems right, but how is there another 50% of “other”?

jaycifer ,

Probably can’t resolve monitors with distinct resolutions into one large one. How would a 2160p and a 1440p setup be displayed in this list?

xionzui ,

That makes sense, but if 50% of setups are that way, shouldn’t the rest also only add up to 50%? There’s around 150% listed here

Probably based on what the actual monitor resolutions are and not just the raw multi monitor result as you can create an almost endless variation of those when you start matching the resolution position based on the physical location of the monitors.
E.g in a setup like this even if both would be 1920x1080, you'd end up with something random like 3840 x 1428.

DNU , in Easily Access Browser In Big Picture?

also through the overlay? There is an integrated browser.

etchinghillside OP ,

Where?

DNU ,

If the overlay is activated in the Steam options, press shift + tab in any steam game and then click the Browser symbol in the bar .

etchinghillside OP ,

Could you do me a favor and confirm this is visible for you when you’re in Big Picture mode?

I can see settings in Steam under Display where I enable the overlay, can set things like default browser page and reorder “Web Browser”.

But I don’t see it visible when I open the overlay.

DNU ,

Ok, sorry for the misinformation. In the beta there actually was a Browser available but since then it has been removed and there are currently no ways to reenable it.

Good, I can go hit ignore right now and never see it again

s20 ,

Aw, man, does ignore actually work for you? Because I see shit I’ve ignored on my store page all the damn time.

AdmiralShat ,

I haven’t had an issue with it, myself, but I also haven’t been paying too much attention to it

HidingCat ,

Definitely does. A bit too well even sometimes. I block genres I usually am not interested in but that means games that feature some element of them that I might like in small doses also gets blocked. eg Stray, which has stealth gameplay, but has been pretty fun so far.

Z3k3 , in Diablo 4 Steam page is up - Release Date: 17 Oct, 2023

I’ll be honest. The fact it wasn’t on steam never entered my head when deciding not to purchase this one

Seasm0ke , in Diablo 4 Steam page is up - Release Date: 17 Oct, 2023

Wake me up when its also on sale at a reasonable price

kandoh , in Diablo 4 Steam page is up - Release Date: 17 Oct, 2023

It’s not worth it.

UlyssesT , in Diablo 4 Steam page is up - Release Date: 17 Oct, 2023

Please don’t give Bobby Kotick any more of your money.

technologicalcaveman , in Diablo 4 Steam page is up - Release Date: 17 Oct, 2023

Only way this pays off is if it doesn't require the blizzard launcher, and it works with Linux/proton. Otherwise, I will continue playing my copy of Diablo 2 and Path of Exile.

Probably will not have launcher since overwatch 2 doesnt have blizzard launcher

Thats actually very cool! I didn’t know that this much automation and engineering stuff even existed.

Oreos , in Diablo 4 Steam page is up - Release Date: 17 Oct, 2023

Blizzard games finally coming to Steam does make me smile a bit

TIN , in Steam Programmer's Sale 2023

Anyone have any recommendations from this?

amio ,

Zachtronics games are usually pretty good. Depending on how comfortable you are with coding etc. some of them are more "overtly programming-y" than others, so could be a better or worse fit.

TIS-100, Shenzhen IO, Exapunks all use (stylized) "assembly" languages.

SpaceChem, Magnum Opus and similar games are more drag and drop.

TIS-100 is meant to evoke sitting around hacking at weird, old hardware and has a whole story to it. It gets hard. I've spent less time on Shenzhen but it is basically the same gist - except now you're an electronics designer, and the language works somewhat differently. Exapunks is "hacking". Most games tend to feature the same kind of scoring allowing you to optimize your solution for speed/cost/space etc

Also a lot of them seem like Factorio clones. It's not on sale (never is) but it's reasonably priced and a very decent game with cool devs.

TIN ,

Thanks, I keep looking at factorio and wondering if it would like to be on sale for me. It would be good to have some more games I’ve never downloaded in my Steam library.

amio ,

Spoiler: it would not. Good game, though.

slazer2au ,

Factorio will never go on sale. Wube has said many times that puting the game on sale would be a slap in the face to those who crowdfunded the game before it launched.

The best time to buy Factorio was during the crowdfunded campaign. The second best time is now.

As a consession there is the free demo you can play to see if you like the game.

True hero, setting a great example 💪

Cappurnikus , in New Steam Deck just passed through the FCC — but is this Steam Deck 2? | (Spoiler No)

Seems like it’s probably a console/mini PC. I would assume it will come with Steam OS. We’ll see!

majestictechie ,

They already did this 5 years back and it was a failure. The Steam controller was neat though.

Now Proton has had more time, it makes sense that they would revisit this though

Nighed ,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

The software support (proton) wasn’t where is it now though. They also did it through third parties instead of in house.

Could be interesting, they could probably market it.

Cappurnikus ,

They made a streaming box, not a console or mini PC.

majestictechie ,

Nah, they made what was basically a Linux based Steam console too: techradar.com/…/valve-steam-box-release-date-news…

Cappurnikus ,

“licensed by – but not designed – by Valve”

That’s a key difference.

Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow ,

A home console only slightly more powerful than the Deck (as reported) would be a flop. It would be less powerful than the PS4. People will be plugging this into 4k 120hz TVs.

I’d be very surprised if it was a home console unless they have some kind of magic upscaling they’ve built into Proton.

topinambour_rex ,
@topinambour_rex@lemmy.world avatar

I wonder if there is so many 4k tv around.

derpgon ,

Some 32" TVs are 4k, 99% of 43"+ TVs are 4k. Most people can afford them because they are very cheap. Usually 90Hz, mostly 100Hz, sometimes 120 or 150Hz

Diplomjodler ,

If they manage to put in a 7600 class GPU and sell the whole thing for under $500, it would be a winner. You could build a PC like that, so given the economies of scale, that should be doable.

Zetta , in New Steam Deck just passed through the FCC — but is this Steam Deck 2? | (Spoiler No)

It is a console, steam box 2.0
