The Legion Go uses 'em - they're so good

I don't doubt that - but what does that have to do with this article?

Is this working for anyone? I’ve had the charge limit enabled and set to 80% since it was available but every time I’ve got it plugged in and go to play, or even let it drain to less than 70%, plug it in and fire up a game, the battery’s well past the charge limit.

Dunno, maybe I’m just doing it wrong 🤷‍♂️

I absolutely agree. I've been playing Trese games since their earliest days and it's always been a superb experience. They engage really well with their players and just keep on plugging away, balancing, fixing, and adding new content long past when most other devs would have done. Worth every penny and one of the few where I make sure I pay the full price rather than via a sale.

Should be something that can be calculated automatically.

Not every Steam bundle allows this, so my assumption was that the publishers have to approve it first.

@rstrube
I've been running Cosmic since alpha 5 on my main gaming desktop

Any tips for setup? I was thinking about setting up Cosmic alpha 7 on a gaming computer tomorrow.

Not too sure what that has to do with this particular article... But since I discovered Hall Effect controllers a few months ago, I'm sold.

Aside from the price, I'm yet to hear a negative thing about them, and I think it would be disappointing if any Steam Deck successors don't offer this.

Any word on Official Steam Deck support?

My laptop does this with 'Aurora', and I think it's a fantastic feature... Since my Steam Deck is usually docked, the lack of this functionality is one of my pet peeves.

Hopefully this is implemented in the 'stable' release channel soon.


Does this also work when Steam Deck is suspended or powered off?

If it's anything like 'Aurora' for ASUS laptops, it won't work when the Steam Deck is powered off, but will work when the Steam Deck is suspended.


What's your next most-wanted feature for the Steam Deck?
hall effect stick

When I am (financially) able to to, I will be replacing all of my controllers with Hall Effect controllers, where compatible (we have a lot of consoles, in addition to our Steam Decks and my laptop).

I'll stick with the original on the Saturn and the sequels on the PSX. Glad they're getting re-released though.

I still haven't tried it on the Steam Deck but it sounds promising! It's a very fun game, definitely recommend it.

Seems like the original intended release date (despite them promising postponing it indefinitely to fix everything that isn't Killing Floor), I wouldn't have high hopes for it to be that much better from the demo, starting with the ridiculous "specialists" remaining intact.

Neat! My Steam Deck is almost always plugged in to charge, so I'll be making good use of this.

@TroNing HDR works fine under KDE, or under Gamescope. At least on AMD it does, not sure about nVidia.

Pops? In my Europa Universalis?

Ah, the sequel to the title that introduced me to Paradox grand strategy games and subsequent thousands of hours of gameplay. Money's a bit tight this year so we'll see if/when I get a chance to pick it up, but it certainly sounds promising.

@Zappor: I've been running Cosmic since alpha 5 on my main gaming desktop (has a nvidia RTX 3080), and with the latest alpha 7, I've had zero issues. Previously I ran into some interesting issues related to full screen vs. borderless vs. window, etc. but all of those seem to now be resolved.

I wonder why they're doing it manually per bundle, obviously. Should be something that can be calculated automatically.

News - Palworld devs confirm game changes due to the Nintendo / Pokemon lawsuit
By WORM, 9 May 2025 at 3:02 pm UTC

It's so obvious that Nintendo is only going after Pocketpair because the larger gaming community is comparing their games to each other, the studio is small, and they're based out of Japan. It's a move that's blatantly anti-consumer and I haven't given Nintendo a single cent since this legal battle started. And with how infrequently Nintendo has a new idea I'm unlikely to come crawling back anytime soon. Fuck you, Nintendo.
