Neato!

Is this a continuation of the Remastered Collection? I think it was created by the same people who did the Remade Assets?

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualit seems to be because Soft Denchi wants to register a watchdog service that runs at all times from system boot on Windows. It seems to require privileged access based on an ActiveX control (?) that Wine can't provide—
Nightmare fuel.

Not sure if you touched on this in previous posts but are streaming services for, or browser based, JDM visual novels a thing? It seems to be a good match if you want to be (over) protective of your games?

Happy fifth anniversary to Proton and Valve, and a big thank you to Liam and GoL for the fantastic coverage over the years!

ProtonDB now has filters for PC and Steam Deck reports

ProtonDB can be useful, and I'm glad to see improvements, but my main source (besides the deck ratings) will always be the issue tracker on GitHub [External Link].

It's usually a lot more current, provides better workarounds, and it's also where the Valve devs hang out.

Thankfully though, Proton support is so comprehensive I take it for granted. In the last sale I actually forgot the check the games bought beforehand. Unsurprisingly, they all worked.

I'm just glad the Toy Story franchise is still alive, or there would be no new Debian releases!

Now official: you can buy a refurbished Steam Deck from Valve

$319 is still a little bit too much for me. Maybe I can wait for the second round and buy a refurbished refurbished unit for half price?

I would also be fine with Valve giving me a Deck that didn't "pass rigorous criteria". You know the ones. The sticky disgusting ones. Dipped in Mountain Dew, stained with Cheetos and used by a gamer with chronic nasal drip!
