So something I wasn’t expecting I’d be doing tonight. I wanted to sit down and play some Satisfactory on my ROG Ally and chill. Instead, I’ve just had to reinstall Bazzite.

I haven’t been able to update it for ages for whatever reason (it kept saying “An error was encountered during the update process, please try again”), so I was considering rebuilding it anyway, but I got bunch of errors randomly and had to reboot every time, so I just decided to do it now anyway.

I’m going away next week so didn’t want it to mess up whilst on holiday where there would be nothing I could do about it.

Anyway, now it’s reinstalled, the SteamOS elements on screen look really zoomed in and there doesn’t seem to be a way to natively change the resolution and/or zoom in the settings. Not sure if it’s meant to be this way or not.

Anyone else experienced this?

The image shows a gaming console screen displaying a game library. The screen is divided into sections, with the left side featuring the game "Satisfactory" prominently, showing a character in a space suit sitting on a platform with the text "Satisfactory 1.0" and "Last Two Weeks: 53 Min" below it. The right side displays three other game covers: "Project Zomboid," "Kingdom Come: Deliverance," and "The Stanley Parable." The top of the screen shows the time as 23:17, the battery level at 87%, and a notification icon. The bottom of the screen has navigation options labeled "What's New," "Friends," and "Recommended," with a "Menu" button on the left and "Select" and "Back" buttons on the right. The overall color scheme is dark with blue and orange accents. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.207 Wh

Steam is supposed to be this platform where you own games, but let's be real, you're just renting them from a digital landlord who can evict you at any time. It's like buying a house, but the deed says "you can live here until we decide otherwise."

It's been two years since I last used Steam, and I'm glad I don't use it anymore. I would purchase a game, play it once, and then never again, not even finish it. It was a waste of money and time in my life.

Steam, while not as harmful as Big Tech in stifling creativity, still uses a licensing model that restricts true ownership. In my view, Steam does offer some resistance to Windows through its SteamOS and Steam Deck community, which promote a more open gaming ecosystem.

It's not all bad, but deleting your account might feel like a loss because capitalism has conditioned you to tie your spending to emotional value, and that's exactly how it's designed to make you feel.

I'm glad I deleted my Steam account when I did.

#Microsoft really has lost touch of reality and are truly alienating the consumer market with this MS account requirement nonsense.

#Windows 11, version 24H2 is so far the worst version of Windows they've ever released (I take Vista over 11 anyday), so adding crap like this on top of it, well it's just a rotten cherry on top of a moldy cake.

Still waiting for #SteamOS to come and take over the desktop space...
