Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: hardpenguinAlso, I prefer to have a LCD option as long as its cheaper. I went for the cheapest option with my current Steam Deck since SD storage is all I need.

I must admit, I've yet to see an LCD option that isn't cheaper. Which is good, of course.

Quoting: constPersonally, I think this is good for all of us, as this update should help keep our Decks relevant. These updates will keep the Deck competetive against ROG, Legion, etc. and the stable baseline and resolution should ensure every SteamDeck out in the wild will still be a viable target for developers.

Totally agreed.

A year or two before minor revisions like this is about the norm in the handheld space, and folks often worry about it, but they're generally a sign of a system that's doing well enough for particular parts to have been superseded by similar-but-slightly-better drop-in replacements; See, for example, the Nintendo DSi, New Nintendo 3DS, etc., versus the original models - nobody ever really targets the revised models, and they just publicise the revisions for folks who feel that bigger numbers are better. It usually means that the device is here to stay for a while yet.

Quoting: constI understand some people buying a Deck recently feel bad about this, as they would have waited had they known, yet if Valve hadn't improved on the platform, we would all have been of a lot worse.

I must be one of the only ones who's glad I already got one, so that I got a display I can actually look at!

Other examples are the GBA/SP and the DS lineages.

Discord is already taken.

Quoting: TimeFreezeBesides the new rendering features whats the point of this Source Port? Vulkan already exists in GZDoom. Surely they could merge those features into GZDoom itself?

This port has real-time ray-traced lighting, though that's weirdly not obvious thanks to only being a bullet point in this article and the screenshot not showcasing it. The chosen screenshot just looks like any other GZDoom screenshot. Meanwhile, on the project site:

Quoting: soulsourceI know it's unlikely, but I'm still hoping for a new Steam Controller...

If it has a headphone jack, it could need an audio driver, right?

(At this point I pretty much convinced myself that it isn't a gamepad.)

I saw a Steam Controller refresh in a video. It's just a matter of them committing to it. I do suspect they are focusing on Deckard, their XR device.

Quoting: jordicomaGood for them.
I'm still waiting for Catalan support.
We need a steam client opensource or an opensource alternative.

Let's get folks working on this:

This update causes any game with Valve's framerate limiter set to "off" to chug at 18-20 FPS. Have to set 60-120 to get smoothness back...

Steam Deck would make a great FPV drone operator.

Does this mean we could finally have another Blood?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyTo be honest, I feel much more confident about sticking a file in a folder or two than I do about installing applications from Github. Especially on a system that will dump non-Flatpak applications after a while.

There is no part of this process which would be overwritten by an OS update. And no, standalone scripts and portable applications, as well as appimages are persistent so long as they are stored in userspace. Please don't spread misinformation.

Such a cute mod! For those who don't know, QZDL makes this a snap!
