    They’re referring to the fact that pretty much everyone in the comments defended why we still use QWERTY over any different keyboard.

    Usually when people say “Big ____” they’re referring to giant corportations pushing their agendas for profit against the wellbeing or benefit of society. In this instance, it’s certainly being used in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

    They’re joking essentially that people who vehemently defend qwerty are perhaps a little brainwashed.

    It is known that there are keyboard layouts which are more efficient and faster (qwerty came about as a means of preventing typewriter arms from hitting each other), but none have become mainstream because everyone’s used to qwerty.

    See, this is the kind of data collection I’m okay with. When it’s to genuinely help make the product I’m using better and not just to line someone’s pockets or feed the algorithm.

    Valve aren’t perfect - they can make mistakes, too - but it fucking shows when someone up top actually cares about what they’re doing.

    I sincerely hope that Gaben has a worthy prodigy lined up for when he’s no longer in charge.






  • I’ve been playing games such as Dirt Rally which isn’t even on the store anymore. It’s not verified on the Deck, citing small writing may be hard to read. The only small writing was on the opening titles - the rest of the game works brilliantly. I was expecting some kind of issues, but nope, not a single one!

    In some ways it’s even replacing my desktop. Having a wireless mouse/keyboard connected and the deck docked, I can easily play games like Civilization which has a big incompatible rating 🚫 next to it on the store. I can play party games locally with friends by docking the deck and connecting some Xbox pads to it. It’s been one of the best buys of recent years!
