  • I’ve said this for a while, but I’ll say it again.

    I’m 98% certain a Steam Deck 2 would be ARM based and steam will be working towards getting proton or something similar to work for x86-64 -> ARM. Mainly for battery life gains. I think they’ve realised that the biggest complaint that people have of the steam deck is that it just does not last long enough when playing higher end games. Getting both a good ARM chipset and an efficient translator will make massive gains.

    This news to me almost confirms this theory of mine and they’re just also trying to see if the same strategy can work with getting them on people’s phones and tablets too.


  • Cool I’ll just try and find which book i need to read it from the millions and millions of books.

    I haven’t got an issue with reading books and whatnot. For coding specifically I always prefer to read documentation. But if I don’t know what is needed for my current use case and search isn’t helping. I’m not going to know where to begin. LLMs at least give me a jumping off point. They are not my be all and end all.

    Discoverability of new tools and libraries via search is awful. Through LLMs, it’s passable to point you in the right direction.






  • I just finished 1 for the first time in a very long time. I really enjoyed its simplicity and wish we got that gameplay loop again but with the mechanics of at least 2

    Currently playing bloodlines before moving onto 2.

    I think looking back, I really enjoyed brotherhood the most, but I also think my time with its multiplayer is giving me rose tinted glasses. Revelations’ ending is my favourite of all of them and I still think of it to this day.

    I also don’t think 3 is as bad as everyone says. I really enjoyed Connors story and climbing trees, but desmonds end makes me resent the game somewhat, especially since to me that marked the end of my interest in the series. Playing through 4 confirmed it because after that I didn’t play anymore due to it feeling like there was no overarching story to keep me wanting anymore.
