Quoting: TherinSWith the decision, Democracy in the USA is shown to be stepping in the correct direction! Removing the choice from the people is something governments, at a national level, have done for thousands (?) of years. Now the choice of forging our own future on this matter has been rightfully returned to individual states
... ' governments.

Quoting: Liam DaweSpread positivity, not negativity.
Hmm... I'm pro abortion rights. But I think this topic is different from say racism. I understand why some people feel strongly about abortion and couldn't possibly be positive about this.

The number was worth repeating. We're not many by percentage, but we're still over a million active Linux users on Steam!

Quoting: elmapuli dont know if my math is wrong but...
1,18% of 1,557,600 is ~18379
7.58% of 18379 is ~ 1393

so the number of steam decks is just that?

what im doing wrong?
1.5 million already is the 1,18%. They're all Linux users. The whole number of active Steam users is > 100 million.

Quoting: denyasisSo that's about 118,000 Deck Users. I guess that's a good number for sales, but I guess I was expecting the over all Linux % to be more positively affected by the Deck. I guess it'll take more time. Hopefully it translates into more mainstream Linux use as well.
We were too many before already... ;-)

Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop devs detail their support of Proton and Steam Deck

Quoting: gradyvuckovicLove seeing the Steam Deck continue to be a perfect fixed target Linux PC for game devs to aim for in terms of compatibility. The Steam Deck's impact in that regard has been fantastic. Greatly simplifies life for game devs, and it has resulted in so many positive changes to existing and new games, improving compatibility not just with Linux but also with gamepads in general.

I'm a keyboard and mouse person, but it seems to me Steam Deck has even improved gamepad support for Windows users?

Currently both GOG and itch.io only have the Windows builds.
Oooh, come ooon devs! Damn.
Bringing the Linux version to Steam took them a couple of days after the Windows version. Which is fine in my book. Maybe they're doing similar for other platforms.

Quoting: itscalledrealityWhat does hand-drawn even mean anymore, especially when it comes to a digital medium? A wacom tablet and stylus? Not using premade clip art/models? 2D drawn models?

It’s not like they’re drawing animations on paper, even then they’d be scanning in the result. When is art not hand-drawn?

How about: when you've moved the hand in the shape that ended up on the screen?

Looks like Valve are gearing up for a new 'Deckard' VR Headset

Quoting: Sojiro84Curious to see the specs on the screen etc.

Very interested in VR since the Oculus announcement, but so far haven't bought anything since it isn't good enough yet visually.

Did try the Index at my cousin, and although fun, the whole cable mess was a downer.
I great you'll have to choose between cables and low res.
Which makes me think... A standalone device, pluggable for high-end graphics...?
