While it’s a downgrade on paper, in practice, there really aren’t any AAA PC games right now that will actually see a tangible performance drop from this.

SSD speeds are conflated and specious in practical use. You need VERY specific circumstances to actually come close to the max speed and even then, once you run out of cache, which is quite fast on even the largest drives, the speeds tank anyway.
There’s not even a slight difference. There’s literally none. You’ll run up against other system bottlenecks long before you saturate 2 PCIe lanes in the SSD. It’s kind of ridiculous how some people are actually getting mad over this.
You say faster than a SSD but it is a SSD. Remember that SATA and NVMe are the interfaces and not the type of storage. Also as a Steam Deck owner I absolutely don’t care if it’s 2x or 4x. It’s such an incredibly minor detail that calling it a bait and switch seems like a huge overreaction. This wasn’t a widely…
... or changes with no performance change.
I have the 64gb slow model and all my games are on the SD card. So like the slowest possible setup you could have with the Steam Deck. It’s fine. Way faster than anything else I’ve ever played on. I could easily order a 1TB faster drive and pop it in but I see no cause to do so right now.
I actually had seen it over a month ago on the Steam Deck subreddit and, to be fair, Valve before this update never specified if the SSDs were Gen3x4 or Gen3x2 and you still might get the Gen3x4 depending on which supplier if came from. The difference should only matter for sequential operations of VERY large files to…
In all fairness, most PC games are still designed with SATA SSDs in mind. Switching from an x4 to an x2 NVMe SSD will probably only result in a very slight increase in load times for games — and nearly imperceptible for anything that’s not loading gigabytes of data at once — and while I can’t say it’s impossible that…
The last time I got severance pay at all, it was only two weeks. Two months sounds great to me.
The issue was basically you’d see their logo on shovelware that hadn’t paid for a licence to hide it, so they unfairly got labelled with it for years.
They are massive right now in tech, any 3D mobile apps or AR/VR is likely done in Unity along with many popular games. They used to be associated with shitty games due to how the engine was not super advanced, but that’s become an advantage for things that need to run well on less powerful devices like mobile and…
It's a popular engine for shovelware because it's free and has a pretty big asset store. There's very little barrier to entry for devs.
Ah yes, the annual day of hoping my neighbors' illegal fireworks don't burn down my house while I'm out watching a professional fireworks show elsewhere.
Some day.
Imagine being a person who feels the need to cheat to have the top time in a video game. Its kinda sad
What always gets me about crypto advocates is how they keep pretending things that have existed for decades already are exciting new possibilities that can only happen with blockchain tech.
He sued her after the article defaming him came out. He’s stayed quiet on this before and after the trial. there’s one person who’s trying to drag this sordid affair out.
Sorry, this is a shit take and you know it.
Why has the whole of the left wing and liberal media utterly shat the bed over this story? The trial (not that many in the press seem to care for the facts of the case) showed her version of events were reasonably discredited and frequently contradicted by herself or one of the very few character witnesses that she…
She straight up told him “No one will believe you”. Those are the words of an abuser. Articles like this set the Me Too movement and gender relations backwards by making it seem like women cannot participate in abusive behavior especially when it's in full view of the public. You give ammo to the right wing with stuff…
