The article does note each store the keys are for as well.

Quoting: LoudTechie

Quoting: TangoBakerWizardry on an Apple II was pretty much my first PC game. That and the original flight simulator.

I remember some other game about a space fleet moving around a galaxy and assaulting planets where you had to decide how many resources you had to allocate for air battles and then for the ground assault, but that may just have been something someone wrote.

I think the game you're refering to is X-Com: UFO defense/UFO: Enemy Unknown.

Also I'm gonna be a frustrating nitpick.
The original flight simulator and Wizardry were also something someone wrote.

Sounds more like Galactic Empire or perhaps Imperium.

Quoting: MayeulCA bit off-topic, but @Liam, don't forget to add a "Steam Controller 2" entry to the PC info in the user CP ;)

Done.

Quoting: Craggles086

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: Craggles086Anyone else find headphone jack on the PlayStation controller annoying. My sound is always connected to external speakers on my computer. As soon as the PlayStation controller is connected I loose all sound.

On Windows it is a pain finding the setting to disable controller audio every time. Hope Steam gives us a setting that stays on if their controller gets audio out

Your desktop environment and/or sound system should have an option to disable any sound sink, no?

Probably easier to setup on Linux, on Windows I have to disable it every time in settings. Buried three or four deep. Will look for disabling sound sink options..

Wonder how long till second round of Steam Controller sales. Did they underestimate demand do you think? Or did they do a small release to test the waters?

We covered that news on the stock directly...

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphone

Quoting: Liam DaweMoving your personal Operating System is far far far easier than upping your entire social group to a different chat app, that has far less features and is more confusing. It's not realistic to expect that to happen any time soon either, especially as Matrix just overall - sucks.

Oh, and people keep bringing up this privacy stuff about age laws as if they only apply to Discord. Any serious chat app will also have to do similar things if they plan to run any services in countries where those laws apply. Thinking otherwise is daft, burying their heads in the sand level stupid.

Sorry, but that is mostly nonsense.

I run the GamingOnLinux Discord with over 8,000 people in it. I also run our Fluxer with a few hundred people in it. I also previously ran our Matrix rooms. I have a firm grasp on what I'm talking about here.

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphoneFirst of all Matrix has nearly every feature Discord has *snip*

It doesn't. Discord has an entire ecosystem of plugins and bots, for starters. But the biggest issue is multiple rooms per-server. Matrix attempted to do something like it with you banding together multiple standalone rooms, but it works nothing like Discord does.

Matrix is nothing like Discord. Full stop. Saying otherwise is plain and simply false.

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphoneI was using Discord 8 years, waiting all the time for privacy improvements (E2EE for private chats) and now it becomes even worse. So while these specific improvements are great, I don't care any longer.

People should probably not only move away from Windows to Linux, but also from Discord to Matrix (as almost full featured replacement). At least I don't want to get my unencrypted private chat analyzed via LLM to guess my age in a legislation where it is not even required. And Matrix is almost as decentralized as Linux is, which makes it much more robust against enshittification and bad laws.

Small update to clarify the Steam Deck test was on SteamOS 3.8, and with the JSAUX 11-in-1 Docking Station.

Edit: also tested wake with Steam Deck LCD which works.

Quoting: YasriHey Liam question, how loud are all the buttons. I use the DualSense now and the PS4 controller in the past. All other modern dualstick controllers that I have tried have been louder. Help a can only play games when people are sleeping gamer out.

Hmm. It's mostly quiet. The thumbsticks have an audible click, as do the triggers when you pull them right down to the casing but neither are particularly loud. The back buttons have a slight click to them, but it's reasonably muted.

Quoting: sarmadYou have a typo in the title: you wrote "out now" instead of "out of stock".

Don’t scare me like that 😅

Yeah, lots in our Discord [External Link] reporting the same issues buying it, Steam is getting hammered again.
