  • Black Mesa(HL1 relive) (finished)

    It’s sometimes horrifying scary, and stressful, but it’s so great, I hate the underwater sections, but this game definitely is a masterpiece. When I saw the sky, this game became so good

    Rusty Lake: Roots (finished)

    I truly intended to play through this game without spoilers, but I failed at about 60% progress. Then I found the puzzle to be not that interesting

    Honestly, I didn’t enjoy this game, the puzzles were boring for me. I won’t play any more games in this series.

    My Summer Car(just started)

    This game is about a Finnish guy and his car. I love the game’s nostalgic 90s atmosphere so much. However, I estimate it will take me about 50-100 hours to complete it. So, I have suspended playing it for now.

    Elite: Dangerous(abandoned)

    I have complicated feelings about this game. The controls feel so good and realistic. The scenery of flying a spaceship to explore the planet’s surface is breathtakingly beautiful and lonely. When my pilot died from running out of fuel, and then oxygen, the suffocation process, accompanied by the gradually increasing breathing sounds, was both terrifying and strangely captivating.

    However, the game has numerous glitches and inconvenient aspects. Unfortunately, My patience ran out after a while, I abandoned it.

    What a pity, if this game were further developed and polished, it could have been a true masterpiece.

    Overall, I still recommend it if you’re truly interested in the space simulation genre. Even just playing for 5-20 hours is a worthwhile experience.












  • I never said it would happen in the next two years. I just said that it’s a possible path, and apparently, it has no chance of happening in two years. Valve’s next step in two years is apparently to update the Steam Deck 2 with AMD x86 chips. A 5- to 10-year period is what I expect.

    I won’t talk about this anymore with you. Bye.

    And hardware acceleration is not as important as you emphasize. A traditional ARM chip running native ARM and cross-platform games, and some x86/Windows/DirectX games that don’t need hardware acceleration to translate on Linux on ARM is competitive enough in the gaming market. At least it’s more ecologically rich than Android games (if you have any doubt, just look at the Nintendo Switch!), and it would function as a PC too.

    Some games don’t need hardware acceleration to be translated. Others that do need it can’t be translated, just like some games don’t support SteamOS. Overall, it doesn’t affect the Steam Deck’s success!



  • The translation on ARM macs is actually strongly related to Valve because Rosetta 2 and the Game Porting Toolkit are based on the open-source Proton, which was developed by Valve. So, it’s not an Apple-exclusive technology; it’s closely tied to Valve. Valve could also collaborate with AMD or others to develop custom SoCs, similar to what Apple has done. I believe Valve has the ability and ambition to do the same thing, but even better than Apple. Because they have done it once with the Steam Deck.


  • That’s a backward compatibility issue, which means some games developed for x86, Windows, or DirectX just can’t be translated without glitches. This means not every game developed for x86, Windows, or DirectX can be translated well on ARM.

    I said that ‘some games that are developed only for x86 or the DirectX API have performance issues’; I didn’t say ‘every game.’ I mean that games with native support or cross-platform support are certainly better than those developed only for DirectX, Windows, or x86.

    For example, many games developed exclusively for Windows/DX can’t be played on SteamOS. So how can you be certain that games developed for x86, Windows, or by DirectX would be totally well supported on ARM?

    And you mentioned Qualcomm. Fine, look at the Qualcomm X Elite SoC computers. Do they run x86, Windows, or DirectX software or games steadily, efficiently, and well? Do they have many glitches when running Windows and x86 software?
