I like Bill, but he isn't super technical and he likes to speculate a bit. He's a genuine guy, though, and he has a pretty great podcast voice.

it's like the first time I listen to him, but the rumour is in some sites. It could be a reasonable rumour. Valve are the only ones that managed to console-rize a PC in an efficient and useful manner for now. MS had this in their hands but they don't see things coming.

Millions of Windows users are gamers.

Plus Valve won't forget their roots and will let people use a computer like a computer, i.e. when you enter desktop mode on the Steam Deck.

A rumour only need be started and it'll be parroted across the internet. These days even bots harvest and produce content. And if other people are stating it, website will feel the need to copy or they won't appear in search results.
 

PC gaming continues to grow and be healthy despite of hardware pricing.

I've not watched the video, but there more than just rumour here. A new steam controller and 'Fremont', a hdmi output only AMD device, are in SteamOS/VR files some folks have been mining.

Whether Fremont is actually going to release as a 'console' is where speculation comes in at the moment.

Interesting times!

New VR controllers are in that data mining too, along with the forever teased Deckard HMD.

You should keep listening to him, he has a pretty good show. He started out as a Nintendo focused podcaster, and his show was called Switchcraft, and he transitioned to being more of a general gaming podcast, called Games with Bill while he found his post-switch format until he settled on Nerd Nest, adding a couple of people to the show (it used to be mostly solo). After he moved away from Switch focused content, it was pretty clear he still enjoyed handhelds and he's covered most of the windows handhelds on his show, but keeps going back to the Steam Deck because of the overall experience. Handhelds (and portable devices like phones/tablets) are the real growth sector for games, and you aren't going to lear about the cache per CU of any of those devices, but you will get an informed opinion of how the user experience is from an enthusiast with a lot of handheld gaming experience. And also some semi-informed speculation.

That's the thing, right? We've had plenty of HL3 leaks over the years, but....
It's Valve we are talking about here.
 
are you people going to buy any game during the Christmas sale?

I got Mad Tracks -a game to play split screen with my nephews- and Bright Memory: Infinite, a few days ago.
 
Btw, I created a collection called "Games I Want to Finish" to focus solely on the games I really want to play.

I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of games I have and the lack of a structured way to play them. I often find myself jumping from one game to another without truly focusing. So, the idea is to include only the games I genuinely want to complete on this list. If I lose interest in a game, I'll remove it from the list and move on to the next one, while ignoring the rest as if they don't exist.

Tbh, I'm truly fed up. One of the evils of today's society, related to video games.

They've become so popular and they give you so many for free that they take away your enthusiasm for having a video game. In the past, with fewer choices, we would play and finish even mediocre games. Now, despite the many great titles available, I rarely enjoy any of them fully. It’s exhausting, even though my Steam library isn't the largest.
