LEGO Bricktales is out now with Linux support and Steam Deck Verified

Quoting: LightkeyAh, Bridge Constructor (also released for Linux) developer from Germany, no surprises there. What's surprising is that LEGO/Thunderful Publishing went along with it, as it's their first Linux title. I wonder if ClockStone even mentioned it to them..
Hm? I own several native Linux games from Thunderful Publishing... (but no Lego game seen yet)

I'll get it the day the native version is official. Thanks, Not-Too-Grumpy-Gamer! :heart:

Steam Mobile App gets a huge revamp out now for everyone
14 Oct 2022 at 8:20 am UTC

When I want to login at another PC, the Steam App...
* signals a message (good)
* opens on some advertising opening screen (WTF, we wanted to login, remember?!?)
* when I switch to alerts, there's nothing about a login (ok, you don't remember)
* when I switch to guard, I get a camera pic (hey, I just wanted to acknowledge and not scan anything!)
* ... and after two seconds, it finally asks me if I want to login.

And don't get me started about the forum threads, the second thing I used to use the app for.

Steam Deck Beta update tweaks notifications, boot video length upped to 30 seconds
14 Oct 2022 at 8:13 am UTC

Quoting: mr-victoryThe problem with Steam Deck boot video is that it plays after boot is completed ie. you can "patch out" the boot loader and your boot time will decrease. Otherwise, PS1 intro is 20 secs but no one cares about that because it plays during boot.
Also Deck probably has long boot time because boot includes starting Steam which takes quite a bit.
Is this a thing? How much shorter the boot time would be?

Would I need to opt out of beta now to not get future beta stuff?

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.)
