    I have one, and plenty of controllers, but I’d trade a bit of battery life and horsepower for weight. I don’t play AAA games on mine, and I know I’m not alone, so they’d be smart to release a lite version.

    And it’s not just the weight. My wife has small hands and can’t play it comfortably because it’s so large. I bought her a WIN400 and threw SteamOS on it and that works alright. Something that size would be amazing from Valve (but without the really fucking stupid control placement).

    Small form factor handhelds with power under the hood are definitely a thing, but they’re like $1200. I bet Valve could drop the power by 40% and sell it at a reasonable price point.










  • Anyone who is savvy enough to install an OS won’t have any issues installing specific programs, especially since most products that people would be using have a direct download for the deb/rpm.

    And if you’re not tech savvy enough to install an OS, you’re probably already getting someone who is savvy to do computer work for you.

    But, this isn’t the 2000s. Everyone knows the concept of an app store, and most mainstream distros have one featured prominently.



  • I also agree with this statement, although it’s well within the realm of possibility that life on Earth was seeded by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization. That’s a timescale of a few billion years.

    But it’s still not as stupid as thinking that the supreme creator of the infinite universe has a personal interest in how you live your life.
