Nice, it's been sitting on my disk for months, taking ~1GB, and I didn't even remember I downloaded it. Now I can delete the dir, put the game on my steam "play soon" queue and install it just when I'm about to play. :whistle: Gaming on Linux before Steam was hard. :grin:

Anyone knows how good this core is? https://docs.libretro.com/library/puae/ [External Link]
Normally I'm using FS-UAE and it even used to have a "steamos build", but not any more.
Either way I would absolutely love to replay some of my favourite Amiga games on Steam Deck.

Steam has turned 18 years old and PC gaming has never been the same since
13 Sep 2021 at 9:06 am UTC

I'm celebrating my 8th anniversary of discovering Steam today, thanks to Humble Bundle (Steam was required to play Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior from one of the bundles). It was astonishing to learn it has a Linux client and so many Linux games (Portal, Half-Life etc.).

Fun fact: my very first purchase on Steam was freshly-released Superfrog HD, while the original Superfrog was my very first Amiga game, bought along with Amiga 500. :wub:

Valve catches a break in the Steam Controller patent trial versus Ironburg

It's kind of terrifying that you must go through several court instances and burn a lot of money just to finally get someone to look at a glaring evidence.
