Absolutely wonderful game, I highly recommend it for fans of single player scifi space games. Great to see this big update!

omg omg YESSSS this is amazing!!! I've never played poe1 specifically because it lacked tb mode combat, I don't like real time anything. So this is fantastic news!! Absolutely loved poe2 to death, probably my fav crpg in the last 10 years. And right now having a blast in Avowed, so this will be wonderful to play later this year with tb mode. Wooo!

I absolutely loved the dredge exploration, revealing the map, trying to figure out how to catch the difficult fish, day and night cycling, etc... I thought it was wonderful all the way until the end.

Very excited for official release next month! I think I'll do a full wipe and reinstall from scratch (I just like doing that every now and then anyway). It takes me almost no time to get all my apps set back up, and then I just let steam download all my games overnight.

I was going to go with the cosmic spin, but honestly I just don't think it's ready. According to their own page, it's still in alpha 6, and I'm just not ready to use an alpha level os as my daily driver, especially since I do lots of actual work on this machine. I bet it needs another 6mo-1yr for it to be ready for me to try. That said, I'm very excited for the work they're doing!!!

For f42, I will just stick with plasma.

I have an oled model, but what is a "session switch" ...?

Has anyone ever used/tried Revolt? Open source, and the interface looks exactly like discord (or any other chat app ever lol)

These are some great suggestions!

I also want to throw into consideration my all time favorite Deck game:

DREDGE ... !!!

Neither do I. If this somehow takes off and becomes widespread, I'll just block the entire service at a network level so I won't ever have to be bothered by it. Discord is just yet another closed private "social" service that will ipo soon and then be legally required by that ipo to enshittify itself to death.

I so wish an open source competitor that's not driven by capitalist greed would take its place, but oh well.

I absolutely adore my steam deck, and I think Valve is one of the best companies we have for us gamers. One bit of constructive criticism I would say is that Valve REALLY needs to work on this rating system. It's totally broken right now. So much so I can't even really trust it. There are games that 100% should not have verified ratings, but do. And it just keeps happening over and over again.

For instance there's a game which I think would be perfect for the Deck, title is "Skald". It's a retro party based rpg. It's verified for the deck, but the controller support is so terrible you can't even play it. the dpad buttons pull up the text based console for instance. Sometimes right trigger confirms and action, sometimes a button confirms an action. Add on top of that the developer has responded that they don't care and won't update it. It should have status "playable" but not verified.

Then there are all the various aaa games that keep getting verified status but crash constantly and get like 20fps. That should NOT be listed even as playable, let alone verified.

I really hope this year they spend some time on this labeling system.

This is absolutely in the top of my wishlist. I've had it installed in EA on steam forever, just so I can keep hitting that "update" button and watching their relentless pace of dev. Trese are some of my fav devs of all time. Can't wait for proper 1.0 release!!! Going to sink a ton of time into this.
