Quoting: elmapulare you kidding?
dragon quest sell a lot in japan, to the point that i wouldnt be surprised if it sell more on japan alone than final fantasy worldwide.
the day an dragon quest is relased its holiday because no one will work that day.

Dragon Quest is about 88M units sold worldwide ($5B revenue) whereas Final Fantasy sits around 180M ($19B). Dragon Quest is popular in Japan but it's nowhere near the level of Final Fantasy in term of sales or revenue overall.

It's nice but I've yet to see a game where you couldn't add support in 10secs to your controller using Steam input community profiles. Such an amazing feature.

Quoting: Serious_TableSo, pardon the absolute novice of a question here, but: when I go and investigate Mesa on the Steam Deck, it appears they have a version 21.x.x installed. I'm going to assume this release of 22.1 isn't going to get pushed to the Deck until much later? Does Valve do their own custom stuff to the Mesa driver, or (should you be an adventuring user) would this theoretically work out of the box if you were to manually download it to your Deck from Desktop mode?

While Valve on their Steamdeck uses a rolling release distro (Archlinux) with almost always up-to-date packages, they don't push packages updates to the user as soon as available. They are probably waiting a few weeks, testing the whole thing and then push it if it doesn't break anything.

You could probably disable the read-only disk and update your system yourself. But your changes it will be overwritten on the next system update.

Quoting: elmapulcheat engine...

Well, the alternative is gameconqueror (and I guess the in-development PINCE) but both of those aren't on Flatpak yet...

I wonder how the Cheat Engine plugin works. Maybe it automatically installs cheat engine to the game's compat prefix and then starts it?

what this program do? allow you to cheat in online games? :huh:

Tools like Cheat Engine allows you to inspect and change the memory state of the game or any executable. You could cheat online with it but games usually have protection against it.

It use it very often in offline games though. For example I don't want to farm for money in whatever RPG, I can use Cheat Engine to get it.

Valve is providing an official way to install Windows as well as put SteamOS back. The dual-boot wizard seems to also be in the work. Hopefully Windows users will also get the new SteamOS interface on Windows as a Big Picture mode replacement. That's plenty of support.

Thanks for the awesome coverage. I'm just wondering if the Steam play time tracker works as expected when:
- playing online, suspending, waiting for a while and resuming the Deck
- starting a game while offline and and later on going online (after having closed the game or when the game is still active)
- playing online, going offline for a while, even maybe suspending the Deck and going online again

Quoting: fagnerlnHey Liam, just a complain:

I (and I bet that some others too) clicked in this post because "GDI Syscall" sounds interesting, you explained for the 234th time what is Wine, but don't put a word (or a link at least) about this syscall, as it's on the title, it should be important right? 😜

I was also hoping to see an explanation of what is a GDI syscall but hopefully the comment section rocks.

Quoting: kuhpunktIsn't the Steam Deck also just a Steam Machine? It's a PC with SteamOS preinstalled.

Custom APU, handheld, new OS adapted to form-factor, no man in between as Valve build the whole thing whereas for Steam Machine I believe Valve only released the OS. Quite different I'd say.
