Debunk from dev Pierre-Loup Griffais ‪@plagman.bsky.social‬

"we've done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there's nothing meaningful to read into there."

Do you want some eggs? I got news for you! You can literally build a chicken shed right now, no need to wait for farmers.

Seriously, the same captain obvious answer all the time when a Steam console is mentioned. It’s infuriating. Consoles exist for a reason, to provide a ready and verified environment for playing games without any fiddling.

Can I build a chicken? That's the real question..

Please don't fuck a chicken

Can you build computer parts from scratch?

Sure. First, you have to create a universe...

I would argue that's no longer the case.

I was a long time console gamer, for exactly the reasons you mentioned- no fiddling. I was time-poor, so I wanted to be able to slip the cartridge/disc in, and just play.

Those days are gone, my friend. I turn my console on less and less. Every time I do, I need to download game updates. But I can't do that unless I download the system update. I need to sign in to various networks just to be able to do this. Usually with a paid subscription.
