Quoting: PyrateBut my deck is already white! Using a 3M skin ;)
Do you have a link for that? I'm struggling to find a good, full body white skin that is in stock.

I think I'll just buy a white hard shell for the Deck instead. I already have a pink one and I'm very happy with it. The buttons will stay black ofc but that's fine by me

It looks so beautiful :cry: I want one but I can't justify spending so much money. And I wouldn't know what to do with my existing 1TB LCD

GE-Proton 9-19 brings fixes for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Monster Hunter Wilds and more

Quoting: edoHow about making horizon forbidden west playable?
Not sure what you mean, it works fine on Desktop & Steam Deck despite being unsupported. This is another game that proves the Steam Verified system doesn't make a lot of sense sometimes…

Sony say their PSN account requirement on PC is so you can enjoy their games 'safely'

I mean… I guess it would make sense for me to have the PSN requirement if it offered any benefit whatsoever. I don't own many games with 3rd party logins but where I do, it does offer something to the consumer. Rockstar's DRM/Launcher for Red Dead 1/2 at least offers something in the form of cloud saves. Although that arguably could be integrated into Steam itself. For the first-party XBOX games, you have some benefits in the form of compatibility between PC and console (which is cool I guess, but I don't own any console so not really relevant for me).

However, there is nothing that justifies this account requirement for Zero Dawn Remastered. It offers no cloud saves and no compatibility of any kind with playstation, I would at least expect at least that it recognized my old saves if I had previously played Zero Dawn on a PS4 console, and import them. But no such functionality exists. The PSN overlay offers the trophies but Steam has its own built-in achievements so tropies are utterly pointless. And it's a singleplayer game so no multiplayer that would need to be managed from outside Steam for cross-play or something.

Palworld dev details the patents Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are suing for

Would this also allow Nintendo to sue the likes of Horizon, because you can override and mount creatures like Chargers? What about games that allow you to tame wild horses like theRed Dead Series? Where does this end?

This is absolutely ridiculous. How is it even allowed to patent mechanics like 'catching and riding creatures' in the first place? They could sue a ton of games on that basis, like Ark: Survival, Monster Hunter Wings of Ruin, paleo Pines and many others. All those allow you to do that

Manjaro Linux want your system info with their new data collection tool

I disagree with unnecessary telemetry... especially when it's default on. That's Windows level of ignorance from the devs

Steam Deck SteamOS 3.6.20 update released for everyone
4 Nov 2024 at 8:05 pm UTC

My biggest issue, night mode killing performance, is still not resolved. Despite the fact that I found a bug report about it that dated back to basically forever. Every day at 10pm,when night mode enables, the fps drops to single digits for a few seconds. It's so annoying

Check out Proton-Sarek if you have an older GPU for Windows games on Linux

That's cool, but i'm wondering how much 'older' does a gpu need to be to not support Vulkan 1.3?
