Quoting: BeamboomThey look a bit small?

Some of us have small hands, if you can believe it.

ok. Thanks for that information.
But it's hard to determine on the pictures. Are they smaller than usual? I like the concept here, so I would be interested. But not if they are as small as I get the impression of.

It's about a similar size to the Razer DeathAdder.

Quoting: ShabbyXThis looks like a paid ad!

It's not. We have never and will never take payment for an article. Vaxee reached out and offered the hardware, regardless of me deciding to cover it or not. Obviously they would hope I would but it could have easily gone the other way for them and I could have hated it. It's just an honest thought on it and my thoughts are true.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIf Valve doesn't allow other companies from around the world to make official clones, this will be a megafail.

They will, they said back when it was originally announced they would expect others to follow and they've confirmed repeatedly SteamOS 3 will be released as a standalone. Any vendor will be free to make their own device but the Steam Deck is the only "official" Valve one.

Quoting: libgradev

Quoting: libgradevNot that I care for this game personally but what development work?! Isn't the whole point that devs don't have to do the heavy lifting Proton does... or are they just saying they cannot be bothered to toggle EAC support on

This has been discussed before, and it's just like telling developers to "export to Linux" without doing any testing, it's not going to be great. For EAC, developers first need to go and upgrade the Epic SDK used, which means it also then needs testing again on their main platform. Then it needs testing on Linux, to make sure it works and continues working with Proton.

Things are rarely a button to hit and be done with it.

To fully support it on Linux sure but they don't have to take it that far. I was referring to the article:

the developer will not be enabling support for it in EAC.

...

Surely allowing EAC and then leaving the rest to Proton is an option akin to all the other Windows games that aren't blocked due to anticheat. By not taking the EAC step they're blocking it outright.

Realistically, we have no idea what their internal processes are. Other bigger developers have already said it's not as simple as people think, and now we have a smaller developer alluding to the same. Again, just enabling it means nothing, unless they're going to keep up with supporting that side of it to ensure it doesn't randomly break and keep up with SDK upgrades to ensure it.

Do you have lots of wolves tamed? Good noise, they will no longer annoy the heck out of you by howling constantly.

Goddamit, Liam. I genuinely went to edit the article before I remembered how much you love a pun! :tongue:

It was clearly my unintentional genius at work once again 👀

Windows 11 needs 64GB

Its minimal requirement, not real usage. Clean w11 has 21.1 GB [External Link].

But truth is, windows don't have preinstalled steam...

Just like Windows 10, it will eat storage for breakfast for updates, that's the realistic number given by MSFT to ensure it runs properly.

Quoting: mphuZActually, I'm waiting for Valve to launch its own streaming service on its servers. You don't need to be a predictor to understand that Steam streaming is Valve's next project after the release of Steam Deck.

I made a prediction / hope on a Valve streaming service back in 2018.

Quoting: mphuZWhere can I read the full list of changes? Have you already got rid of DX9 and OpenGL in this update or not yet?

As far as I can tell, they did not put up a plain list of all the changes, only a fancy page with info on the new major bits.
