ACTION GAME MAKER devs exploring Linux support for the editor and exports

It's weird that they're delaying it, because Godot's Linux support is first-class, but I'm guessing it's because they're not used to Godot yet, and they don't want to give their developers false hope.

I haven't been on Steam Deck recently, but I recently just finished Black Mesa and replayed Deltarune in time for chapters 3 and 4. Now, I'm on the last third of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which I can hopefully finish soon.

It might take a while before we can see the real aftereffects of SteamOS 3's public release for handhelds, since it literally just released.

It's a shame that the default preset is so blurry, but I'm glad that Steam Decks can now play it! I also recently heard that the developer has been fighting the region block that Sony's been applying to their games.

Wow, a new update for unsupported platforms already! I swear they only said they're supporting the Lenovo Legion Go S. Not that I'm complaining...

Good for them. Glad to see some developers caring about preservation, even against their evil publisher overlords' wishes.

That's really cool that we can just do that now, with Valve's permission. Once again, though, I am asking for local coop.

SteamOS Manager for BIOS updates, TDP and GPU clock controls now open source

Here's the fun thing: in their full specification, it includes a feature named "EnterDownloadMode" which the code comments notes, "Enter a low power mode for downloads and get a handle that will keep this mode active until all obtained handles are dropped".
Thank God, we've been waiting for this feature for ages! It's interesting that they made this open source though. Maybe they want a universal API to hook into, so that future hardware support for SteamOS is much easier?

I am once again asking for online coop games to add a couch coop mode.
