Wow! That’s fantastic news. I tried playing on SteamDeck some time ago and it was a mess which was disappointing because it seems like a perfect deck game. I can’t wait to play this with my kids!

I highly recommend FramePlayerX https://github.com/remotesojourner/frameplayerx

Open source and works with JellyFin/Emby, SMB, Local Files, pretty much everything. It’s the only video playing solution I need on the Frame and it works fabulously.

You put a made-up quote in my mouth and then got angry at it. I said commits should be judged on their merits. I said nothing about profits or ignoring harm.

This is exactly right and I love Linus so much for cutting through the emotion every time. All he cares about every single time is if the commit is good or bad. Thats how it should be.

I received my Frame yesterday (much to my surprise as I never got the shipping notification). All in all I am delighted. I’ve had so much fun playing 2d games on a gargantuan screen (this old man’s eyes ain’t what they used to be) that I find it worth every penny.

I even tested what I thought to be my stretch goal with this device which was streaming directly from my SteamDeck to again, give me a big ass display and it works wonderfully.

I bought a Quest3 some time ago and have hardly used it because 1. I had to create a throwaway Meta account and do a bunch of network fuckery to even feel safe using the damned thing, and 2. There just wasn’t much to do with it other than watching movies (which was admittedly quite nice). But this is a whole different ballgame. I feel like an enormous chunk of my Steam backlog just opened up to those moments of laziness when I’m just vegetating on the couch.

I also love the idea of a hackable Linux computer I strap to my face, I foresee lots of fun tinkering in my future with this doodad.

Highly recommended by one random old fart on the internet.

I was too poor to buy a windows license for the pc I assembled from dumpster parts. I was also to much a rule follower to pirate windows so that led me to slackware linux and the rest is history.
