The literal deadline for the official responsible for draft planning is June 15, 2024.

Putin orders development of homegrown Steam Deck-like gaming machines — 100% self-sufficiency goal apparently applies to gaming, too
There's a 99% chance it'll be one of those fake emulation consoles with 5000 pirated roms loaded into it
Or just a Steam Deck with a Z painted on.
Zteam deck
Wouldn't be too out of pocket for Putin to advocate pirating all games not developed in Russia
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?
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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
They've already done it ;)
I've had the top two as a kid. Thanks for the nostalgia!
You're welcome :)
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
In Soviet Russia, steam decks you!
This is going to be a huge success, like the last time when they developed a "homegrown" cellphone.
Well people with connections to the goverment need a way to launder money.
Is Putin a gamer? 🤭
Yes just like any other ruler they play risk with real people
Only because they can't realistically play Defend Your Castle.
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.
Lmao. Hope they explode like the Samsung phones did!
Putin orders development of homegrown rifles that can be fired by next generation of young conscripts with stubs for hands
Accessibility rifles
So ak47 but without trigger guard?
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
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.
isn't the NK Red Star os a linux distro?
Maybe they’re murderous zealots, but at least they use Leenox /s
"and you will all only be allowed to play Pathologic!"
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
