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 🪤

Oof, I had a similar support experience with an Index RMA. They bounced me across multiple agents that wouldn’t read previous messages and would ask for the same trouble shooting steps I’d already SHOWED THEM, it was hell 🫠

Glad to hear the balls rolling and I pray you get yours fixed soon :)

I had mine for a month too, was yours also in beta branch per chance?

P.S, don’t worry about the posts, it gave me a good chuckle scrolling through my notifications; it happens :P

I forgot about bios mode, thanks!

Although, no dice; no reaction.

I’m fairly sure it still had charge left when it died, but alas, I tried again and no luck.

I had to unlock it to detach the Frame during my reseating attempt(s), but I’ll wiggle it some with heavy copium-infused magic ✨

I heard this is an issue caused by being in the current beta version, maybe double check that rumor when you get yours.

Hope it comes soon! :)

I had a nightmare experience trying to RMA my Index, but in the end they fixed it past warranty.

I do appreciate their support, even if communication can be iffy at times. My worst fear is a painfully long wait :(

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 😮‍💨

This is what I do

Loss of input fix??? O:

Does that mean I don’t have to restart the frame’s desktop environment every time I drag a window and it permanently attaches to my cursor and prevents almost every input?

That would be wicked, was my biggest frame issue

Cute! I love the little ghosties too :)

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.

It’s not dialogue for quests (although they probably were generated with AI), it’s stationary NPCs irrelevant to the quests that are in the world. Not all NPCs have an AI bot. You can ‘befriend’ the bots by giving them the right keywords and they’ll hardly budge otherwise.

Example and… minor spoilers?: Lie Buxie told me her brothers went to some ruins. I cleared it out and helped the brothers. I glazed over what they said and returned to Lie (who was unrelated to the quest, you clear it by solving a puzzle and clearing a tomb/mini-dungeon then the brothers fuck off). I then had to convince her that her brothers have left by relaying the information I got from the quest. Which was hard because I was glazing over the brothers’ dialogue; Boring quest.

AI bots are like a pop-quiz related to the nearby environment or game information, then they send you gifts after they become your friends and you can chat with them whenever with shit retention. They’re really stubborn and don’t like to RP, but they’ll respond positively if you show them 4K phone footage etc so at least that’s funny.

It’s big dookie and feels like a way to incorporate a… 'more natural 🤢 🤮 ’ feed of lore. If it wasn’t hallucinating it. It didn’t really add anything positive to my experience other than a laugh and I remember thinking I’d rather have a boring text dialogue to spam through.

I chased the specs but of course I only play indie games and don’t even bother with AAA they’re rarely worth it imo… With my VR headset unplayably decaying and (ironically) valve not fixing it, I often wonder why I still have this heavy lunk of metal.

I often wish I had the Steamdeck instead so I could kick back and mold into my bed forever, or bring it to quirky spots of the world like you have.

Very envious, it sounds incredible! You’re living the gaming dream - freedom~

Physically, no. :(

Mentally, yes! :)

Alway! But mayhaps the revolving door retention style was actually a ploy to efficiently harvest soul energy for some unseen plot?

I barely managed to protect mine own. Beware!!

This reminds me of some work drama…

My coworker was cursed by our bwitch of an ‘assistant manager’ for turning her down, and the next day his mom had hot oil splash up her whole arm and it looked bad.

Not supersticious but he was and he was terrified. It was horrible to watch.

I would have too :( It was purged in a major clean while I had it stored at a familys place.

I only just lost those beautiful speakers… Power cord was failing, but they still played good audio and the bass connector was a beast.

Leta has been nice so far aside from the blue flashbang I’m never prepared for. I pray for darkmode.

Swapped from DDGo after frustrations with the LLM in my searches. The article-bloat is gone too. Very nice.
