Quoting: Belaptir

Quoting: MohandevirLord of the Rings Online... On the Steam Deck... Why? Because I can. It's playable. The maps are a little on the small side, some parts are hard to read and you need to get used to the button mappings. No need of the touchscreen, if you don't want to. I wouldn't use it as a daily driver, but as a backup plan, it's better than I thought.

You sir just made me go and download LOTRO to play it again after... maybe 10 years. I need to create an account since my old one is probably lost, but knowing that it works on Steam Deck... I need to go back now. Thank you.

Sorry... I guess?

But it's similar to me. My main toon was stuck at level 88, at the bridge leading to Edoras, after the Riders of Rohan expansion. Lol!

Since then, they unlocked all contents up to Gondor, I believe.

Quoting: MohandevirHad the surey on mine, this week. It was just a notification? I tried clicking on it and nothing happened.

You get the notification and then you can go into Notifications to confirm that you're OK with being included in the survey.

Did just that, but couldn't find anything related to the survey... Ok... Better luck next time, I guess. Thanks!

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnd yet the point stands--in a random sampling of machines, a machine used full time has twice the chance of being polled as a machine used half of the time.

The machine just needs to be logged into Steam during the month that's at least a year since the last time it was surveyed.

The Deck does come with a (random?) delay "SurveyDateSteamDeckDelay" before it gets included in the survey - I had my Deck nine or ten months before it got the survey popup. I expect that Valve don't want everyone's unboxing experience to be full of "would you like to fill out this survey?" spam.

Quoting: Mohandevir1 940 000 x 25.32%... 500k Steam Decks? Where are the others? Didn't Valve sold over one million units already (Projected 3 millions by the end of the year)?

Did Steam grew 3X since that 132millions? I doubt that...

It’s daily active, not overall numbers and as the article notes even that number is a year old.

Aaah! Thank you for correcting me. Missed that nuance.

Edit: 132 millions of monthly active users... Wow! I thought that number was the number of active accounts.

Prior to this, I finished a Ori and the Will of the Wisps run. Great game! I had quite a blast. I tried RDR2, but even though I recognize the quality of the game, I can't seem to get the hang of it... Probably my ADD. Else, I dusted off some Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max. All on the Steam Deck or on my desktop via the Steam Link app on my Nvidia Shield.

Ha, I spent the effort trying to get D&D Online to work on the Steam Deck, but the controls are definitely intended to be with keyboard and mouse.

Elder Scrolls Online wirks pretty well on it though! I also keep meaning to try Star Trek Online on it.

Aaaah! D&D Online... Got fond memories of this one too. The combat system is a thing of it's own and pretty awesome. Unfortunately the quest system was often a show stopper, for me, when it came to the longer quests that I didn't have enough playtime to finish.

Dolphin doesn't even need to be on Steam, anyway. The team just needs to continue to optimize for the Steam Deck... For the rest, Emudeck got you covered.

Valve probably just wanted to play safe. I'm not really surprised by Nintendo's attitude, either; the Steam Deck is a better Wii.

Quoting: mrdeathjrWell if rtx 4060ti is a fail in various levels, this card join to same group

Personally seems better rx 6700 10gb or 6700/50 xt 12gb and back to rx 7600 as rtx 4060 ti/non ti are stupid cards with stupid price

:smile:

The 4060ti is a major fail because it performs basically equally to or even in some instances worse then the 3060ti so it remains to see how the 7600 stacks up against the 6600 (non xt).

It seems, as per Phoronix benchmarks and the Ars Technica review that I just read, that it's a "normal" generational leap. Nothing extraordinary. It safely compares to the RX6600XT. Ars seems to think that it regularly beats the 12Gb RTX3060 and RX6650XT... Probably on Windows...

Edit: PCGamer has the same conclusions, as per benchmarks, but RT is a major weakness with AMD. If turned off, it sails past the RTX 3060. Personally, I couldn't care less. It's the first thing I do when I start a new game. :grin:

Let's hope there is a difficulty setting, because it's my kind of game. I had quite a blast playing through Ori and the Will of the Wisps which is really close to Hollow Knight, but I had to use a cheat to finish the latter. I'm too old/too bad and I don't have enough playtime to "git gud". These are awesome games with lots of atmosphere and story telling. I like that.

I don't know what is happening, but the like button seems broken...
