It's also a gentle nudge to get developers to use Steam Input (which provides automatic support - including appropriate glyphs - for a bazillion different controllers and makes it easier to have multi-input - such as controller and gyro mouse) rather than some Xbox-controller-only input library that might be provided by, say, Microsoft.

Sweet. Played through 1, 2 & 5 on the Deck recently, and loved the experience (I'd played 1 & 2 before back in the day).
Linux updates tease Valve 'Galileo' and 'Sephiroth' - Steam Deck refresh? Or new VR?

Quoting: BrokattWhat I would want is a version of the Steam Deck without the screen, a Steam Brick if you will. I think that could be really popular both for desk and couch gaming. Sure you can get a dock a get almost the same experience but not entirely.Make one yourself. There are quite a few dinky NUC-like machines available, or you can just plug any computer into a TV or monitor. Install Linux on it, autolaunch Steam Big Picture, and pair it with a PlayStation controller. Job jobbed.

If we assume that there's some underlying logic to the codename, Galileo the person and Galileo the probe are both famed for looking at Jupiter, which suggests it might be a Valve gaming platform linked somehow with visuals: a new display, or VR, maybe? It's all pretty thin, though.

They're being added under "Valve Jupiter device", with Jupiter being one of the names Valve seems to use for SteamOS.I could be wrong, but I think that "Jupiter" is the hardware platform of the Steam Deck - the computer gubbins - and "Neptune" is the input platform of the Steam Deck - the controller gubbins. SteamOS itself is called Holo for the version with the Deck, and was named after DOTA characters for the Steam Machines - .Alchemist, Brewmaster, and Clockwerk.

Ah, yeah, that's the issue: not enough tea.

Quoting: EikeI was opening in tabs as well... but I don't drink tea, so obviously, I couldn't do all of it.

Ah, on the semi-serious side: Where would the trend lines meet?May 2025, I think?

Quoting: EikeDid you fetch all of that manually from the website? It sometimes took like half a minute for it to display the link(s) for a certain day for me...I did. I've done data hunting for Liam's tracker before. The trick is to load the results into new tabs so that they can be getting on with loading while you wait for the next link to appear. And to make a cup of tea if it's getting too tedious, of course.

Quoting: EikeI went back as far as Liam's Steam Tracker does (since some subset of data before then is hinky):Quoting: CatKillerWell, that did work!Quoting: EikeAnother question, does somebody have survey results of the last months or years stored? Would be interesting to draw the Mac line as well. :DWayback Machine.
If it's a trend, it's a new one it seems.
Or I need to dig further down the timeline.
*edit* Fetched some more data, and I don't see a Mac decline between August 2021 (oldest number fetched) and May 2023. Wayback Machine is slow. It must be reading the data from tape. X)
