So here's why I think the Steamdeck works as opposed to the Steam Machine. It has a solution to a problem where the steam machine didn't solve anything. If people wanted a console experience...they would get a console.

The steamdeck actually gives people something they didn't have. Portable gaming. Unless you wanted nintendo's offering of limited games, or mobile games which are a different beast, there was no solution to playing most pc and console games on the go.

I ctrl+f'd Tomb Kings and nothing showed up. Sounds about right.

The make windows bigger/smaller controls don't seem to work on my chrome windows 10

Waits patiently for the new sea beats

I actually liked the original ending more than the redo. I mean it wasn't good but I can respect taking some risks. The DLC ending just was bad AND bland.

Interactablables?...nope... no that's terrible.

I do hope that one day we can just get over people claiming at one game is not a game based on some nebulous idea of what a game should or shouldn't be.

Didn't think I'd see a reference to an Adam Curtis film in this but it is Austin, after all.

it's what i use

This is what I'm trying to tell you. These men in suits who have graphs and numbers don't know what they're talking about. I worked in "brand management" for a publication. this meant I had to talk to advertisers and convince them that they should associate with out publication. One car company really wanted all of it's advertisements to target.. ugh... "entreperenials"... like a rich millennial, I guess. So they wanted ads for their large shitty SUV to be associated with things like brunch. The idea being if we had an article where to get the best brunch and some rich young person sees their advertisement would thus want to buy an SUV to go get brunch. That makes no sense but people are convinced that's how things work.

These are the same people who spent millions of dollars trying to find the best colours for the Doritos logo.

Look up some of the Sony leaked emails where execs talked about how no one wants to see a black action hero or see a story about a married couple flirting with each other. None of this is based on anything but "conventional wisdom." And conventional wisdom quickly goes down the toilet once something is a success that shouldn't be.

So why did Bioshock Infinite sell less? I have no idea and I bet neither does anyone else. But it seems that showing generic brooding action guy, in a sea of cover art with similar looking brooding action guys, didn't really make the significant impact Ken Levine was convinced it made.
