I think it's probably for the best to close this up now. Thanks all.

Quoting: LanzNot sure why we need to crucify people for disagreement, on issues that are far from settled - both politically and scientifically. This shouldn't really be part of the article.
With respect, what should and shouldn't be in an article is my choice. You can't just ignore the issues surrounding it, they're widely reported and have caused lots of big debates on it.

A reminder to all: no fights in the comments. Don't quote other people to fight. I will remove any that do. If you have something to say you feel is important, that's fine, but don't quote others to fight on it.

The one linked in the article was posted later.

This new Steam Deck external controller plugin is quite useful

Quoting: PhiladelphusSemi-related random question I couldn't quite answer from the video: is it possible to attach more than one controller to the Deck via Bluetooth simultaneously? I'm wondering if it'd be possible to hook it up to a TV and play multi-player games with friends that way. I don't have multiple controllers to check myself and don't want to pick some up only to discover it doesn't work…
Yep at one point the video even shows it with Xbox and PlayStation controllers both being on and connected.

Remember to support the projects you use and appreciate

Quoting: PublicNuisanceIt can be very easy if you break it down into small bits. Every pay cheque I try to put aside $20 to donate to a project I use. $20 doesn't seem like much but at the end of the year it adds up to $1040 into the FOSS ecosystem. Even if you did $5 a week it adds $260 a year. Can you imagine if every Linux gamer gave just $1 year to something ? The total amount going into FOSS projects would be in the millions. Most FOSS projects donation pages are depressing if they show public results. We can and should do better.
This is a good way to think, I like this, think I might do this myself.

DOSBox Staging adds dual-mouse gaming and ReelMagic support

Quoting: mosperhaps an unfortunate choice for the article screen - X-COM neither a challenge for DOSBOX, nor should be played via it due to Open X-COM.
It's just as example of a DOS game. I don't have a ton of DOS games handy all the time.

Death Stranding Director's Cut has an annoying issue that can reboot your Steam Deck
6 Jan 2023 at 4:11 pm UTC

As I already explained briefly above, the only thing that will fix it is an update to the Flatpak Mesa runtime to include the fix Valve have in the normal Mesa version used for games on Steam Deck. Flatpak uses its own runtime for Mesa. This is why buying direct from Steam is just better overall.

Added a video I ended up doing at the bottom of the article.
