Quoting: EikeI would agree, but why is Outlast, which I played through natively, appearing on my "unsupported" list?

It might be something quite simple, like the game not being usable with a controller out of the box?

Nice little Tux in the top left corner right at the beginning!

I wishlisted this when I played the demo the first time around. It seems to capture the spirit of Broken Sword very well. Maybe Lithuania in the spring will be as intriguing as Paris in the fall?

Looking at the classic 'venturing games, these look interesting:

• A Classic Tale [External Link] - Features an undead deuteragonist (depressive Death)!
• Nine Noir Lives [External Link] - How many things need to be licked to solve a murder in this town?

Also, I look forward to trying the McPixel 3 demo.

There's no official GOG support for SteamDeck. But since the device has an open architecture, as we understand, you can install Windows and as such also run GOG games.

That's a very odd way to spell "Fuck off".

Quoting: Purple Library GuyNever occurred to me before, but that's a weird saying when you think about it. I mean, who cuts mustard? It's semiliquid, you use a spoon. Or a squidge bottle. Should be "doesn't squidge the mustard" or something. Or "doesn't cut (something you might conceivably want to cut)".

The expression derives from 'mustard' as a slang word for a thing that is the best, and O. Henry has a character in Cabbages and Kings say: 'I'm not headlined in the bills, but I'm the mustard in the salad just the same. The 'cutting' refers to the act of harvesting the plant, i.e. garnering the best.

From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. I love that book!

Quoting: GuestI understand all that, only some of the "playable" games really shouldn't be, as they have issues, like crashing mid-game or corrupting save data.

Issues that are yet to be fixed by devs should mean a game fails the verification completely.

If so, you really should file bugs.

But keep in mind that just because a certain game have problems on your system, it might work fine on the Deck. They are testing against a very specific setup.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleAnd the selection still seems super random. But then I keep seeing people excited to play things on Deck that I have never even heard of. So maybe not so random.

They are still focusing on testing games owned by Deck reservation holders right? So I guess peoples Steam libraries are quite random?

Quoting: GuestAnyone has more info about:
"Update file distribution method to save disk space."?

This maybe?

Works on your mom's computer

Well of course! My moms running a standard Debian bullseye, so unless the port was botched I would expect it to work.
