Quoting: eldarionOnly time will tell. It's just that recently the news here looked too much as a Valve PR satalite then a Linux gaming news site. More about steam deck itself and less about actual games.

As always, I run GOL based on my own personal interests - always have and always will. Any direction we take is simply my personal choice.

Quoting: GuestI came here expecting some political blathering, Im not dissapointed.

Let's just appreciate for now people seem to be mostly respectful about it.

Quoting: micke1mSo what's stopping them? And why is it a problem? Anyone can choose to get into coding.

Please, stop going down this route, it's not a good look. Either you're ridiculously ignorant to the world and need to look up basic history or you're playing dumb to cause a fuss. Women have traditionally, and still constantly are, pushed out of tech and often assumed they won't want to do it. Times are slowly changing for the better but more is needed to be done and Girls Who Code is a great charity helping.

Quoting: eldarionI really hope this fever will pass (no offense to the Steam Deckers out there).

I hope it doesn't. It's one of the biggest things to ever help Linux gaming as a whole, and any games I write about would work on a Linux desktop too.

Quoting: TimeFreeze

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: TimeFreezeHow are the Thermals after playing for a few hours while also charging the Deck at the same time.

I can already tell you that, it gets pretty toasty when doing both after 2 hours.

Toasty like i feel like the device is gonna break if i keep doing that or toasty like yeah it gets warm but the device can handle it?

Oh it handled it just fine, but it really was warm. As always though, the sides where you grip are cool.

Quoting: JpxsonDoes it work on Deck and is it expected to get Verified or Playable?

Added a note.

Quoting: dubigrasuTwo interesting things that Gabe mentioned in an interview were that a) the most expensive SKU was the most pre-ordered one (far more than the cheapest one), which might convince Valve to create more feature-rich models in the future, and b) the demand for the Deck was much more higher than they expected.

From Twitter [External Link]:

1- This was Gabe’s idea. I thought he was nuts.
2- But I/we all miss interacting with people/customers so I am so glad we did it!
3- We picked random Q1 reservation holders nearby. To make sure they’d be home, I told them they had to be home to “sign for delivery”.
