Quoting: TheRiddickNot a huge fan of track pads in general really.

I'm usually in the same boat, but did you try those of the Stream Controller? Felt better than any other I've ever touched, on first second and by a wide margin.

PS: I wanted to make sure I understand the word correctly, and, well, there seems to be a second (first?) meaning. :-D

Quoting: Liam DaweNot sure what's going on really but it definitely said it had stock initially but very low, and then gone. We all know batteries don't last forever though, and considering how hard people are pushing the Steam Deck, likely harder than laptops would be pushed, I imagine playing it safe getting a spare is not a bad idea regardless.

But aren't batteries ageing, so I want a new one then and not one that sat somewhere for years?

Quoting: catbox_fuguecasebook uses Visplayer, im not sure what game engine this is.

That would be Visionaire. Daedalic has been using it often.

Quoting: syxbitThe Steam game page doesn't mention Linux support.
I'm always confused when Linux is listed. Does this mean a native port, or are they just saying it will work with Proton

Linux icon says Linux native. There's also a Deck support box at the right for many games (a third of my library), which says if it runs under Linux - this may or may not be using Proton.

Quoting: mphuZI just don't really understand this Game Resolution feature.

With it, I will be able to magically run all games in 1920*1080 resolution, even those that do not support?

For example, Splinter Cell or Return to Castle Wolfenstein. They do not support modern resolutions, mods are required.

I guess if the game just can't do it, it won't help. Most games of the last decade(s) should be able to cope though, I guess.

Added Game Resolution setting to App Properties, allowing players to override the max display resolution for games, on a a per-game basis

Interesting.. Is this a feature of Big Picture or SteamOS?

As far as I know, the GUI of Steam Deck is not Big Picture Mode, but some successor, though it's supposed to come to PC as well... some day.

Quoting: ShadMessado people really still use FAT32 .....

Definitely, it's the best choice for external HDD that is being used by both Linux and Windows machines.

Why not use ntfs?

Not working everywhere, some devices can't read ntfs partitions.

Since kernel version 5.15 you can use NTFS without problems... and all distros have that minimum version by default.

And you're sure my TV set had got it?

I think that's what the partition to be used by Linux, Windows and the TV on my portable drive is using.

Spoiler, click me

Let the United States and Europe stop fomenting war and sending weapons to Ukraine (some have already been sold from there to Syria), and Ukraine will sign the surrender. Then the war will end.

... or Russia retreats its troops to where they belong. Then the war will end.
Don't try to put the responsibility for this where it doesn't belong.
Russia has started this and it has all means to stop this.

PS: Remind me if I happen to see that you're beaten up by some guys on the streets that I'm not supposed to "foment" it.
