Putin orders development of homegrown Steam Deck-like gaming machines — 100% self-sufficiency goal apparently applies to gaming, too

Here is new child’s entertainment. Be grateful to Putin.

Bestselling console in Latvia

There's a 99% chance it'll be one of those fake emulation consoles with 5000 pirated roms loaded into it

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or just a Steam Deck with a Z painted on.

Wouldn't be too out of pocket for Putin to advocate pirating all games not developed in Russia

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Good then maybe they'd stop with all the gray market shit that they're into. Stolen keys are worse for developers than piracy, and Russia is notorious for it (along with other countries).

I mean a broken clock is right twice a day right?

[–] Katrisia@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Those are fun, though. You get a single console that emulates a lot of systems for a good price. Some have cute retro styles!

I got the Miyoo Mini Plus that runs on Linux. It emulates many old consoles like GB and GBA, and can even run some DS, N64, and PS1 games, which are a great addition. Of course you need to tweak it a little with a good OS (not the Chinese one) and a good SD card with a library of games from the buccaneer communities. Edit: It's not hard at all.

The Steam Deck is amazing, so I don't think they can rival it, but if they make a better Odin 2 cheaper than the Steam Deck, I'd be tempted, lol.

They've already done it ;)

I've had the top two as a kid. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[–] Libertus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You're welcome :)

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh hell, I didn't know those were real. I should have guessed though. They turned up in HROT, a very... "Soviet Core" game. If you're worried about the politics of the dev, the final boss is Putin

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"home grown" aka mostly Chinese parts

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What's the difference then?

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That Russia has no capability to produce something like this and isn't China also behind chip wise?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I meant what's the difference with our game systems? They're mostly all Chinese parts too

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I thought most of the major silcon like CPU and GPU chips were from Taiwan, with it being more simpler commodity and board manufacturing being done in the PRC.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

China doesn't have the capacity to make high performance computer chips.

Built in malware that phones home to the Kremlin, most likely.

In Soviet Russia, steam decks you!

[–] spongeborgcubepants@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is going to be a huge success, like the last time when they developed a "homegrown" cellphone.

[–] feine_seife@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Well people with connections to the goverment need a way to launder money.

Yes just like any other ruler they play risk with real people

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Only because they can't realistically play Defend Your Castle.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, but russians game a lot.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, but russians game a lot.

They get very cranky and invade other countries when they have nothing else to do.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In fact right before the war in Ukraine kicked off it is said you could hear Putin shout “bloodseeker mid or feed”

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 year ago

We see that PM Mishustin needs only to consider and create outline plans for the gaming ecosystem before the period of execution, which is set for June 15, 2024. Of course, preparing meaningful plans is still a big task, but it should be achievable enough for Mishustin to feel relatively safe standing on balconies.

Lol

I guess the Ruzzian bread & circuses are getting a bit low on the circus part.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i've seen a few videos of ukranians using decks to control drones. maybe he thinks there will be military applications on the russian side too

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The reason you can control drones is that it's basically a full-on OS that can send to arbitrary system commands. If Russia wants it 100% home grown they're going to have to develop their own architecture. What I suspect is it won't actually be that home grown and will mostly be Linux based, but Putin doesn't know the first thing about computer systems so it'll be fun to watch someone have to tell him that.

It's the same with North Korea, they claim to have their own PC OS but it's just Windows XP with a custom skin.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

isn't the NK Red Star os a linux distro?

[–] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe they’re murderous zealots, but at least they use Leenox /s

so they have to develop this on the front during break time?

They have already announced that it will be Intel Atom X5 with 64Gb SSD for around $500
