eXtremeRate reveal new Steam Deck back shells with interchangeable back buttons

I have a smoke black full case from a couple years back and never got around to installing it but I did contemplate just installing the back half.
Trouble is the front half of the original shell came damaged new so some screws are already shot or some peices already snapped, which is why I opted for a full shell replacement as daunting as it sounds.
I think I'd like a little more to a back plate alone for that price but it doesnt look bad.
Now if they could just offer a forest green, not lime, not emerald green, a nice dark forest green heh.
Glad they didnt stop makong shell replacements tpo, thought that would wind down a bit with new cobaoles popping up.

Gimmie a 3d virtual store to browse games in.
Complete with an AI clerk who has really bad reccomendations and fear for their job if they dont reccommend the latest shovelware like its a big deal.
Yeah maybe this is better but Ibdo tire the flat menus.
Least its getting better overtime and I like to be able to search for developers and publishers more.
Now if we could just use publishers and devs as a tag for my collections in my library automatically instead of having to build it myself but maybe Im lazy.

If we could exchange unwanted games for store credit for buying bundles and other deals then I wouldnt mind but an increase with nothing new to make the deal feel just a tad better is kinda lazy.
I end up with a lot of game duplicates and sit on keys awhile which sometimes expire with an expiration date added out of no where roght before it expires.
If its gotta increase then they gotta improve on something.
Plus the lack of choice kibd of cannibalizes their regular bundles since there are sometimes duplicates, sometimes with the dlc thw choice version was missing.
Fanatical's build a bundles work out for me better these days.
Yet I kept subscribing cause I want something to look forward to each month beh.
Maybe time to leave the subscription.

Dang was hoping to upgrade from the LCD one soon and I waited too long.
Least my current one still works if not a tad clunky.
Oh well, just gotta wait it out.
Maybe not a bad time to look for some linux laptop sales in the mean time.

Valve give Steam developer and publisher pages a little extra visibility

When they first brought in publisher pages it blocked the ability to search up a particular developer on click.
If developers have these konds of pages then all fine and dandy but sometimes I just wanna see a quick list but then I get sent to the publisher page instead, meh.
Now if we coukd just use publisher and developer names as tags in our libraries.
Making custom collections is a little bit of a chore.
You can make one for "Birds" though.
Maybe little unrelated.
More dev page visability is a good thing though regardless.

Minecraft will finally let you craft saddles instead of hunting for them

It was always odd not to be able to craft saddles and often times I'd just not bother with horses in general cause of it.
It was meant as a reward in the earlier veraions but it is strange it continued on all this time till now.
I think most players just put in a cheat for it anyway if they couldnt find one, or maybe just me cause I very rarely found a saddle or a horse together for most of my play sessions, least till villagers selling items abd in turn saddles was a thing.
Guess we'll see more gold horse armor mods for avm little while tobcelebrate the change heh.

Game isnt really released till Denuvo is removed.
I'll just wait for the game and its DLC to be in a bundle for cheap then wait for Denuvo to be removed whats the rush?
Part of why I skip on Sega games Im excited for too but they dont always remove Denuvo so I wait for a steep steep discount instead then forget tbe game exists.
They lose an earlier purchase from me and Im sure they dont care so hey I dont care either, dont need to buy the game anytime soon, buh bye.
Plenty of indie boomer shooters to play anyway.
Also Doom Classic still holds up well and I do prefer it over the new Dooms, even as I play it for the epteenth thousandths time.
Try Reelism 2 mod its infinitely fun.

HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks

It better print my achievements as badges and stickers if they want my money cause I hardly trust their printers right now.
Still a good sign to see more variants of the handhelds but I'm very happy with the Steam Deck's everything.
Hopefully we see more replicas of the Steam Deck controls and featires istead of the standard ugly Switch layout, hurts my palms.
Thiugh if HP could do something different and unique I'd be happy to see it.
Maybe serious about the printing heh.
They could try OLED trackpads anf more grip buttons, dual stage triggers, a pen or a second screen maybe.
Heh who am I kidding they'll make the buttons out of paper and force ya to sign uo for a subscription to get new ones.
