Quoting: Purple Library GuyOh, that's it! Now I have to get my grandson or granddaughter to play a game on my computer.

My father-in-law has BTDT. :heart:
By all means do it! :-)

unified save names for PC - MAC/Linux

Yes please!

I mostly play on my Linux box, but sometimes also on my wife's Windows :sad: PC and my father-in-law's gaming box, so that's very handy.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualI still don't really get what the audience for the Steam Deck is. I kind of want to buy one, but then I remember I have no use for it. I can play games in bed with my laptop. I have 4 GNU/Linux computers already. If I'm outside, I don't want to play games, otherwise I wouldn't have gone outside.

I guess I don't really understand the portable gaming idea to begin with. I did play Pokemon a lot as a kid, but those days are long gone. I played a lot of mobile games when I was younger, too, but that was mostly the novelty of it rather than them being any good. I don't think that phase lasted very long.

I guess it doesn't help that a lot of the games I play involve using Textractor, copying text to the clipboard, looking it up in a J-J dictionary, and creating an Anki card. Not really the type of gaming suited for a small, portable device without a keyboard.

I just have no idea what to think, because I am clearly not the target audience for this.

Well, there's obviously a target audience for mobile gaming. The target audience for Steam Deck is mainly the intersection of these with the Steam users. They already own (often lots of) games running on Steam Deck, and they can play games bought for mobile on their PC as well.

The appeal of mobile gaming? Well, I'm not into it either, but I can understand that a laptop is too big for bed for many. And back in the days, before Covid, I was using public transports for a 3/4 hour to work and a 3/4 hour back. Time for gaming, maybe?

Showing your age (and possibly your Britishness) there! :grin:

Genuinely not sure if "you wouldn't steal a car" was shown outside of British cinemas?

Edit - so, uh, it wasn't shown on cinemas, it was DVDs mainly that featured this tripe. Early 2000's though, so at least I had that right.

So, where is it from?

Be it good or bad, I severely lack Britishness. :D

Half of the developers being unsure and more positive than negative is not too shabby in my book.

I'm unsure as well if Steam Deck will be a big success.
To be honest, I'd lean more on the no side than on the yes.

Cannot be something different from what you get by default IMHO.

Thanks!
Requires to be signed in, but that's ok for me.
How could I have found these myself?
