Quoting: TheRiddickThe SteamDeck 1 has a RDNA2 4core APU with a graphical powerhouse of 1.6-1.8 or something TFLOPS and 720p TN panel.

IPS panel.

I also ran through the Blackwell games [External Link] on the Steam Deck and had a great time. Point and click games work really well, despite the fact that you're not really pointing or clicking. The rhythm of exploration and contemplation is great with the pick up/put down nature of the Deck.

Also, Dark Nights With Poe And Munro [External Link] is perfect for doing one half-hour episode in bed before sleep. Engaging and tongue-in-cheek, although the menu text is a bit on the small side; hopefully they can fix that up.

I've mentioned it before a few times in a few places, but Art of Rally [External Link] is an absolute gem on the Steam Deck. The top-down perspective, the cute visuals, and the analogue controls all come together to make it an excellent experience on the Deck.

Quoting: richipI confirmed and purchase mine 5 days ago. Is there a way to check the order status? Will they send a tracking number for recipients to track (in general but specifically to Canada)?

The order status is listed in your purchase history in the Steam client. Tracking information gets put there when it's available, too.

Quoting: slaapliedjePretty sure this is the same reason that storing Linux games on an NTFS filesystem in Linux breaks things.

NTFS also can't store the execute permission.

Special mention on the shortcuts for menu button + up/down on the left stick to super quickly adjust the brightness. That's the one that I've used more than any other.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumIn any case, it would need to be clarified as it may artificially make it appear that either you have more Linux users on steam than in actuality or that some distros are losing ground, when in fact they're just not being counted because the user has two distros being used on steam and only one of those is counted.

It's a hardware survey, not a user survey. It's no more artificial than someone with a Windows desktop and a Steam Deck having both machines counted, or a desktop and a laptop.

The hardware survey lets developers compare the requirements of their game to the amount of hardware being used that meets those requirements. Developers making sure that their game works on Linux would be making sure their game works on both of your machines.

Quoting: dziadulewiczso Feral is doing these endless Warhammer games only now :huh: there used to be much more appealing stuff like Mad max, Tomb Raiders and what have you.

If you've made a Windows-only game that you're vaguely interested in having the ability to run on Linux, but not enough to be bothered to do it yourself, why pay Feral to do it when Valve will do it for you for free? Feral are just finishing up existing contracts.

Quoting: CAVRThat's interesting... I see all these big corporations apparently supporting the O3D Engine, but most projects that I see being developed using a FOSS game engine are actually using Godot.

This engine has only been available for a year. It used to be Lumberyard, which was a modified CryEngine.
