Quoting: DorritI hope Mint will chose a more colourful/lighter default wallpaper soon.
I don't care at all because I always change my wallpaper to some cool place I've been on vacation.
So nude beaches then? Gotta keep it classy like that. :P

The first stable Steam and Steam Deck update of 2024 is here

Quoting: F.Ultra
Quoting: Linux_RocksToo bad the Linux (and Mac) client is still shit though. You can't disable Steam Play (the button does literally nothing when clicked), the filtering for native Linux games is still incredibly broken (it's been that way for over a year now at least), and now there's issues with it even getting passed the logging in screen for some users in Linux. It's a damn joke, and honestly outright pathetic. They're gonna start pissing away goodwill from some users at this rate, and they don't even acknowledge anything on GitHub either... -_-

I don't know what kinda bullshit operation that they've got going now. But if they're gonna redo the client, at least make sure it works *completely* before forcing it on us. Cause two of the three issues that I mentioned are related to said new client. I've spent thousands of hard earned dollars on Steam. If I had known that the client would've become like this, then I might not have.
I don't think the button is for Linux native, it says "games that works on Linux" so my take is that as long as Steam Play is active for "other titles" it will show all games since all games "works" on Linux using Proton.
I worded it wrong, my bad. (It's fixed now. lol) The problem is that when you turn Steam Play on for all other titles then disable it. Those other titles don't disappear on your library list if you've got regular Steam Play on still. Even though they should.

But not being able to disable Steam Play period pisses me off far more. Cause at least then I could still actually organize my native titles like I wanna do.

Toaplan Arcade Shoot 'Em Up Collection Vol. 3 announced

Quoting: PenglingI've really been digging into some shooters this last week, enough so to finally have a preference for vertical ones*, so I may well end up picking up Tiger Heli, from this selection. :grin:

*That said, I did enjoy the Mega Drive version of Zero Wing, and still need to pick up the Steam re-release of the arcade one. :tongue:
Play Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun. Also any CAVE shmups are good too. Along with the Raiden series.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is Steam Deck Verified ahead of release

I've loved this series from the beginning on the PS2. While I stick to PlayStation with these games. I'm glad that others get to enjoy them too. Though I can't stand these English dubs, but at least they aren't as bad as the first game on the PS2. lol

I might despise the actual Yakuza in real life. But Kiryū Kazuma is an absolute badass. 💪
