DUDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this is amazing news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting soooooooooo longggggggggggggg and I'm so getting one as soon as the sales go live!!!!!! Feel like I've been very patient and deserve a reward :tongue: though with all the rumours about the Steam Deck 2 I'm not sure whether it's still smart to hold off... what kind of news do we have on that?

Quoting: Nod... and a big F you to NZ.

I keep thinking they might say "oh yea NZ too, we didn't think it was worth mentioning", but that hope is fading.
Oddly enough I think the Steam Deck's been a thing in NZ for a long time... I've got a friend who moved from NZ earlier this year and he said that he's had a Steam Deck since super early days (don't know whether he got it off a grey market or something though)

Valve has finally fixed the Steam Remote Play audio loss bug on Linux

This is VERY welcome! For many years I've had to use remote play to play local multiplayer games with friends, just to find that we're all stumped when eventually the audio cuts out. This has led to many frustrating experiences for more hours than I would like to count, but no longer! So glad to see this fixed, this is great!

Does anyone know if this announcement comes with any kind of information on what countries it's available in (specifically Australia)? I really really really really really badly want one. :grin:

3 Jun 2022 at 12:30 pm UTC

Man, I can't wait till the Steam Deck is released in Australia... I need this in my life! Just imagine playing Wizard of Legend with the sibs while in the same room! That game would be amazing on the Steam Deck; I'm so hyped for it! :grin:

That blog post by Giovanni over at CodeWeavers was actually quite an interesting read! Seems quite fun actually (although I wish I had better knowledge of how devices work)!
Worth a read! I totally recommend! Also interesting to see their process for patching stuff.

What's the main difference between PE and ELF? Why this shift to PE?

This is so great :woot: let's hope my friends will finally switch to Linux at this news :happy: this was the main reason as to why they said "no" :unsure:
