Steps to replace the power supply dust filter:

1. Remove the top case and remove the power supply.
2. Unscrew the four screws holding the dust filter onto the chassis.
3. Remove, clean, and replace the dust filter.
Why is the dust filter screwed onto the chassis? :dizzy:

I definitely want to see Steve Burke’s review on this. I need the numbers.
Maybe we have a thermal wonderpiece here? Maybe not? Who knows before testing?

Quoting: Breizh
Quoting: elmapulyou got another good point: why download all languages if i only gona use 1?
steam need an option to download those "free dlcs" while download/install the game.
A fun fact is that often, piracy repacks have theses options :grin: Sometimes piracy isn’t for money, but for disk space and bandwith (notably when it’s recompressed a lot more than the Steam version).
Those filthy pirates just provide the best customer service. *.*

To me, they don’t seem like being optimized for air flow. And I don’t find them very aesthetic, not even in a stealthy way - which is also very subjective.

Quoting: elmapulanyway i hope they do something about game sizes for the lower storage steamdeck, games for switch use low res textures and low poly models to save disk space as well as other resources, i hope valve do an partnership with devs to provide that option, but i doubt they will.
That’s mostly on the developers and we all know developers just LOVE to push 4K texture packs to a 720p device… 😕

Nova Roma is a new city-builder from the Kingdoms and Castles developer

Gladiators murdering each other? I guess we all find inspiration in different things 😄

But I get what you mean. Roman society was highly organised and roman cities were build by plan. They even copy/pasted whole cities across Europe. One could say the Roman empire had a system for city-building… it is a perfect setting for such games.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyY'know, so many of these non-modern city builder things are vaguely medieval that it had never even occurred to me--architecture wise, Rome was so much cooler for this kind of thing.
Well, there is Caesar I-III (and Pharaoh/Cleopatra, Zeus/Poseidon) or more recently Nebuchadnezzar… also Builders of Egypt/Greece/China. Lastly the Pharaoh remake “New Era”.
Frankly, I can’t say anything to which is architecturally the most appealing as that is highly subjective.

Games Archive you say? Didn’t we find out that video game preservation is basically piracy? :P

I see gamers defending big corporations left and right… this is just a natural consequence of consolidation.
I’m looking at the gaming community which is rooting for Microsoft to buy Activision|Blizzard|King.

Quoting: ljrkActually some GTA V, but mostly just speeding around. American Truck Simulator is currently my go to, otherwise Witcher 3 (NG+), Portal 2 (my SO), ...
Doesn’t ATS use a lot of key bindings? How does it play on the Steam Deck?
