yeah. you could also just install windows and pirate on there if you want. its just a pc.

I’ve bought I don’t know how many Decks now from both my US and Hong Kong Steam accounts for my friends around the world in mainland China to the Middle East. I don’t know many of them IRL - they have just been my closest gaming friends and they wired money over beforehand. If you knew any American or HK/TW/JP gamer I’m sure at least one of term would have gladly done the same for you.

I wonder if we’ll hear reports about issues with hand sizes in Asian countries.

I remember when the original Xbox came out, there were lots of articles going on about how Xbox wouldn’t do well, or wasn’t doing well, and all of the reports claiming it was because the controller was “too big for them”, and totally not related to a lack of software for their target audience (no RPGs), lol.

Because now it totally shouldn’t be due to a lack of software, but times have changed and curious to see if a sliver of racism will reappear in these so-called reports.

Yes, NVEnc makes use of NVidia hardware in their cards.

It's a fun thing he's talking about pirating his games. Steam basically killed the PC gaming piracy scene (or reduced to next to nothing). GabeN understood that piracy was never a pricing problem, but a convenience problem.

When it is easier to hack a game to work than it is to buy it then you're doing something wrong. So Steam just makes getting a game and getting it to work about as easy and painless as possible. (Outside of maybe GoG with their no DRM policy, but their selection isn't quite as big.)

So. If I get this and a docking station, will it work with a HOTAS? Cause $650USD + a dock seems a lot less expensive than my projected PC build.

They probably have steam statistics

When do we expect an upgrade again?

You could have said the same thing without being an ass to him, you know

Also in NZ, come on Gabe, you literally live here, don't let MightyApe rip us off with 900 USD equivalent for the parallel imported 256 GB version!

We've already got sellers here in the Philippines, but I'm not sure of their legality. They may be grey market sellers. All of them are out of stock though.

I kinda wish I had the money though, but the high prices of everything's killing my savings.

I can also confirm that you can stream games that you did not purchase through Steam. Have done it a couple yimes

Yeah, I was wondering why there’s so much talk about adding things to steam when you can just alt tab to anything else.

I think you're confusing GameStream for NVENC. These are two wholly different technologies

Yeah I play casual wow on my TV via steam link and the steam controller. It works well for just some casual questing thought.

As for the bad habit, yeah wow can get quite hardcore and I see how it can consume most of your time. I respect your decision, but it can also be a great casual game if you take it lightly. I just came back a month ago and I've been having a blast. I've never been a raider or anything, I enjoy map exploration, questing and dungeon so keeping up with the season gear isn't really important for me, but o played hardcore PvP during Wrath about 10 years ago and I remember the struggle. I had the latest arena sets and etc. It was fun but I am not sure I would do it again, especially that now I have a full time job and I'm a father, I don't even have the free time to put into it :p

Anything too much can be bad.

Wonder why Singapore isn't among the first in Asia.

Not Singapore nor Thailand yet.

SEA isn't Asia huh? Sadge

Added Kiwi pain... Yeah it sucks

as a southest asian, ill wait patiently. perhaps can snatch one from singapore easily

yes, but there will be a shit ton more tweaking. and there will be little to no help when that happens. if you mean native linux, absolutely.

pay your games, if its indie. support small business

NZ here and feels you.

Steam constantly shafts Australian and New Zealanders. Pretty strange to considering fat ass Gaben lives in NZ.
