Quoting: EikeUnder the Steam announcement, someone called it the Steam Deck Funding Station. :D
Well, it's in second place on the most popular list. Directly under Steam Deck. So it seems to be working. :wink:

They probably thought that the updater would run fine through Proton.

I'm very happy with my RX6800XT 16GB OC edition.

1959 euros for a video card. Didn't know inflation was that bad.

I will wait and see what AMD will do.

Quoting: FredOX-Plane 12 is out on Steam now. I've given it a quick test and it runs great - very smooth considering the early access status!
Yeah. Bought it for my Legion 5 laptop and instructed Steam to use the 3050. Very nice experience.

I have it as I want to participate as much as possible with testing. We are all at x-plane dot org forums BTW.

It is definitely not a feature update. The engine was rewritten. It's not an asset swap.

Loading speeds have significantly improved and its stable as a rock.

The visuals are stunning. The default airports seem alive and have working gates and pushback control. And the signs on the airports make sense.

And most important, the flight model has been improved even more.

Very, very, very nice!

EA AntiCheat could spell trouble for Steam Deck / Linux

I was laughed at when I commented on YT that I would not let any game near my kernel. And now we have our first exploit.

Linux is a good filter. It makes Linux even more secure compared to Windows. As it just won't run.

Even MORE invites for Steam Deck purchases will start going out now

It's a good thing that not all online conversations are as caustic as they are on reddit. This thread, at least so far, has healthy and even-keeled discussion on the matter. Love to see it! :D
Yeah. That's true. (hugs) :happy:

Quoting: constGosh, reddit is really at it's worst about it.
I replied to some very angry guy that it's just about another case, so there is no need to get emotional.
He replied so angry that his post was deleted by some mods without me asking for it, yet my post was downvoted like crazy. Don't really care for the downvotes, it's reddit. Just wanted to illustrate how mobbish the mob has become.
I want real community forums back, reddit is cancer.
