Quoting: Liam DaweFAQ on the Kickstarter shows it's expected across all platform. As always, it's just a plan and anything can change.
Cool! Looking forward!

Up for more pointing and clicking while adventuring?
Definitely, always!

You've come to the right spooky place, with Foolish Mortals being announced with Native Linux support.
I did not find anything beyond "Our engine DOES port to Linux, so it's definitely something we want to do!" [External Link]...?

The new Steam Mobile App is getting close to release
11 Oct 2022 at 7:32 am UTC

Quoting: BotonoskiOf course it'll never happen, Google Play doesn't allow appstores to be distributed on their appstore.
They could do it as apk, just as F-Droid does.

JSAUX wasted no time with a new Steam Deck Docking Station with DisplayPort
10 Oct 2022 at 8:33 am UTC

Quoting: chris4realit's not cheaper, though.

It does not include a PSU, therefore it's actually the same cost as an official one
Not at all.
The price is way lower.
It does not include a PSU, which might come in handy for some people, but that doesn't change the price. (And many people will be happy with the one included in the Steam Deck, which is the very same.)

The latest Godot Engine showreel is an impressive look at upcoming games

Nice showcasing for sure!

There's some games I would have assigned to RPG maker.
Does somebody knows how Godot compares to it?
(I'm not making such games, just being curious.)

No more Steam Deck reservation queue — buy it now, plus Docking Station available

Under the Steam announcement, someone called it the Steam Deck Funding Station. :D

Another small Steam Deck Beta update gets some fixes

Quoting: damarrinEvery time I formatted an SD card on the SD it would fail the first time and succeed the second. No problems with performance, though.
I had no problems either, until recently.
I got my card now and formatted it with the Steam Deck stable software as of yesterday. I measured (modern) Tomb Raider, from start button to the main menu coming up. Mind I have the smallest Steam Deck, so it's probably not quite as fast as the others in the first place. Result: 23-24 seconds on first run, 21-22 seconds on subsequent runs - no matter the storage place. So, I'm happy with my SD card and I'm happy with Steam's formatter. And I'm happy with my steam Deck. :)

Steam Deck Beta updates fix Red Dead Redemption 2 and external screen changes
6 Oct 2022 at 11:06 am UTC

Quoting: GeeksOnHugsHow long does it usually take to go from the beta channel to the stable channel? I've been hoping and waiting for an RDR2 fix for several weeks but I prefer to stay on the stable channel. I don't mind waiting as I'm just glad to know a fix is coming but I'm wondering how long I'll most likely be waiting.
Weeks to a day... Sometimes it's quick. :D

Classic adventure game. Art and style I very much associate with Broken Sword, the Voodoo story-line with Gabriel Knight 1 so it ticks all the boxes!
If you want some point and click voodoo treat, take a look at Voodoo Detective. The graphical style was not really to my taste, but it were enjoyble five hours...
