Quoting: scaineWith a shout out to early freebies like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Prey

Damn, I guess I hopped in after these ran out, would've loved to have them.

Anyways, this week's freebies are quite underwhelming especially considering how strong the previois weeks were. This is the last week before my subscriptions runs out as well so it's a shame.

Experimental fixed additional controllers not working in Overcooked AYCE on 9.04... Now I swear it used to work in 9.03 but I don't know how to downgrade to 9.03 to tell nor do I think I have the energy to do so then report the bug...

Quoting: EhvisCiri was not super interesting to play in the few section of TW3 because the mechanics just weren't there.

Interesting, for me it was the other way around; before dumping Witcher 3, I remember vastly preferring Ciri's gameplay over Geralt's, it just felt way better and less clunky for me. Like I said I dumped the game shortly after so maybe Geralt's gameplay gets better.

Want me to keep doing these?

I do, at least until my Prime subscription expires later this month :grin:.

Just 6 days ago I was joking with a friend who likes these mass-produced genres that they should make one that has bullet hell, roguelike and deckbuilding all in one game.

The next thing I'm gonna joke about is Silksong release date announcement.

Quoting: wintermuteEverything is showing out of stock for me. Probably for the best, I can't really afford it before Xmas :grin:

Yeah seems like they're all out in the UK now too, they went fast.

The UK stock seems to be nonexistent. When I got my deck during the summer sale in July last year, they ran out of stock pretty much a couple says after the sale started if I remember correctly, I had to get mine from the US to make it in time before the discount period was over. Pretty annoying that it doesn't look like they resolved that issue, over a year later.

Quoting: PyrateSteamOS public release until then is definitely possible.

If this would be true i might ditch my Pop! OS from my system. I use Pop! OS since the end of 2021

There wouldn't really be anything special about SteamOS if you're already on Linux, you should be able to do everything SteamOS can do in your distro as is.

A public release of SteamOS would be (at least for me) a signal that gaming on Linux is finally at full parity in all kinds of setups and for all kinds of players, as I think Valve wouldn't release SteamOS until the low-hanging fruit are dealt with (perfecting HDR, Nvidia drivers, anticheats...)

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyWhy would that change anything? It'd be no different to when Windows XP reached end-of-life, or Windows 7, or Windows 8... People will just move over to Windows 11 or whatever they're up to now, just like the gullible sheep they are.

Because it is in fact different this time. Windows 11 is complete garbage, even the gullible sheep realise this themselves this time, really, I have friends who always talk shit for being "eccentric and weird" (all for me not bending to the destructive social norms of our generation, long story, not the right place LOL), and they're asking me about Linux now, because they refuse to jump to 11 and are seeing the writing on the wall. Sure, it won't be everybody, or even the majority, but like I said, it'd be a noticable percentage, if Valve plays it well, and Microsoft keeps this downward spiral of theirs going.

Another thing is Linux frankly wasn't up for it during the examples you gave (Windows 8 etc), but now it is. I only switched after dabbling a little in March this year.

Quoting: damarrinMy issue with the SD is whenever I want to switch from handheld to TV I need to close the game and then basically reconfigure a bunch of display settings.

If you set the game resolution to Native in the Properties tab, you shouldn't need to turn the game off to change the display settings, just go to the in-game settings after plugging it to the TV and you should be able to change it on the spot.

November next year will also mark 10 years since Valve's original Steam Machine launch.

I think it goes without saying that if Valve intends to capture a not insignificant portion of PC players (desktop or otherwise) to their SteamOS, their best chance ever will be around October next year when Windows 10 security updates stop. I think all the pieces have been falling into place lately, and a SteamOS public release until then is definitely possible.
