Yes, I’m just offering an option to replicate that streaming functionality here. As to versatility, that depends entirely on what you’re doing. There are situations in which the Steamdeck would actually be the far more limited platform compared to what I described.

If you’re just wanting the functionality of a Steamdeck on some other device, there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. If the other device is an Android, you can just install the Steam Link app and you’re off to the races. If it’s something else, depending on the device you can probably get Moonlight running on it, which will accomplish the same thing but will actually have more versatility than you’d get with a Steamdeck anyway.

Honest question: why?

Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.

Transparency: I’m someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol

Wow, I wonder if this will impact Uranus in any way?

This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too…what a waste of time

I haven’t been to youtube.com or opened the app in ages. I switched to FreeTube and haven’t looked back. That’ll last until they restrict API access, anyway.

They tested that on me months ago and I downloaded FreeTube in response. Haven’t looked back. Fuck them for trying to tell me what I can and can’t do.

Yep. On the grand scale it doesn’t matter if this comment was pre-determined or if I genuinely made the free choice to write it. What matters is that, to me, the illusion of free will is complete. There is nothing other than my belief that I am free to affect my own existence.

As Rush once said, even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

That’s all any tech demo is. They have to draw interest in order to continue developing the technology.

Tech news sites quietly use this word too much

I don’t believe that stat, based on my own personal experience. I’ve been a VR user for close to 10 years now and I’ve introduced many, many people to it. I’ve only had one person feel sick in any way in that entire time.

Ironic coming from a guy who uses a very clear formula on the majority of his movies.

Nope, I have been a PC gamer for about 30 years and I love emulating classics from the past. It’s not as challenging as folks around here seem to think. I guess sometimes people just have a hard time accepting that there can be multiple ways of doing a thing, even if they are unaware of some of those ways. Emulating XP might seem like a big deal for someone who is new to the idea, but personally I have been emulating XP for decades, even when it was the modern OS, along with many other types of OS, so it’s a matter of rote for me at this point. I wouldn’t even consider XP to be old enough to be a challenge - try emulating some of the original Linux distros, or an OS you’ve never heard of for that matter. That’s where the challenge can come in.

I love that so many people have an opinion on this subject though. It just affirms that new ideas are out there for those who want them. Happy learning!

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Personally I find the process to be much simpler than what you described, but I guess it comes down to knowledge and experience in that area. Happy learning and good luck with all that!

I guess that depends who you ask. I emulate games all the time. Just takes a little bit of willingness to learn something new.

But…why? It’s so much simpler and often better to just emulate the original software and hardware than to port entire games.

He’s not preserving them - that’s done by simply archiving the file. He’s making them playable on modern software. That’s something different entirely, still very cool though.

Why not just sell the game? Secure the bag and the peace of mind at the same time
