That’s a good question. I will have to test it out. I usually play wired. I think the minisforum BD790i I’m using has an Intel Bluetooth chip set. From my experience those have issues with the Xbox controllers and often the dongle is required. I do have the dongle so I will try it out.
Just rebuilt my living room gaming PC this weekend and installed Bazzite. The most exciting feature for me so far has been that SLEEP WORKS. I can just put the system to sleep and resume whenever I want. 10/10
What’s stopping you from building your own Bazzite Box right now? (ChimeraOS is great too. ) Honestly, the things that make me most excited are
the combined rumors of Valve developing for Arm and
the Asahi Linux presentation from Alyssa Rosenzweig that shows you can run modern games from steam on Linux on arm mac NOW. https://rosenzweig.io/blog/aaa-gaming-on-m1.html
Valve’s first party custom hardware is coming.
If they have old shows you like they can’t sell you new shows.
It’s all artificial scarcity, just ask the millions of people pirating content.
Can’t wait 'till they go to sue Valve for enabling people to perform piracy of their software on their platform.

I built a PC for a friend of mine recently and got a bundle CPU motherboard and GPU (5600x3D microcenter exclusive at the time). I had so many problems with the Phantom Gaming 6600xt at the time. The machine would boot inconsistently. I went back to microcenter and returned the card after reading that the sapphire 6750xt didn’t have the same problems and swapped up to a sapphire.
This week I just bought a Radeon 7800 XT steel legend for 480$ USD. It was smaller and cheaper than comparable products. The card has the worst coil whine I ever heard and performed poorly. I assume I paid the price for not going for something like the sapphire nitro+. I went and swapped it out (at microcenter). 7800xt nitro+ is a much better card, does not whine and works as expected.
This may be related to the AMD/Radeon products…
I have a 3080ti from MSI that is a huge RGB glowing monstrosity in one rig and a dell 3090 24G in another. I got them used for 350$ and $600 respectively. I’m running the 3080 with a 12600k and the 3090 with a 7900x with higher end motherboards (Asus Maximus and ASRock Tai chi) and have no issues. I paid extra for these motherboards to ensure that I didn’t run into any weird compatibility issues.
I just keep getting burned on ASrock, MSI, gigabyte models of things in the lower tier price category. It makes me feel like “the medium soda 40 cents cheaper than the large because it exists only to make the large seem like a better deal.”

It feels like the bottom felt out of the market and now if you want a computer that works as expected you need to get these ultra high end luxury RGB brainrot products.
Anytime I try to buy something in the mid range now it basically comes broken or falls apart in the first month of ownership.
You may as well buy Chinese ewaste from Ali express at that point.
Are any of the high end clientele facing charges?
Please stahp the mergers and acquisitions already pleeeeease.
Price drop put the 7900x at bargain bin prices and I bought that instead.
Stay with me in my ass
In the modern game industry, you get hit with layoffs even if you do well so it doesn’t really matter what the quality of your product is in the end… You still get laid off.
This is why being a wizard is illegal in Dragon Age.
Good to know. I won’t buy it. Yoho yoho I guess
This is old news but I do often think about the flaw in Tim Sweeney’s strategy to try and bully apple and Microsoft into making their platforms work his way.
Honestly Epic should have got in the Linux bandwagon years ago so they could provide their own hardware.
How unremarkable
It’s funny to me that we are not looking at the market beyond Sony Microsoft Nintendo.
Retro gaming handhelds for emulation are on the rise and large swaths of the market are gravitating to them. There is growth in gaming but it’s actually a growth in piracy. No one likes the new stuff.
"Kumbaya my lord "
I can’t believe they went full mystical ninja Goemon for the megazord sequence. I may just buy this.
