Comments have been cleaned up. Won't be discussing why but I'll be clear on this again: we really don't appreciate stupid far-right conspiracy crap on who is behind funding. Please don't go there and any other comments on it will be removed which includes referencing my comment here. Please continue on as normal, happy Monday! :)

Steam Deck, Steam Big Picture and SteamVR get lots of visual tweaks in new Beta

Quoting: dpanterNice changes, but making the album art smaller and the download button bigger is the opposite of improvement IMHO (unless the images are reversed).
Nope, images are correct and yeah that doesn't particularly feel like an improvement, the buttons are way too big and you actually now see less of the list.

Valve reveals Steam Deck OLED for November 16th

Quoting: BlackBloodRumThe question becomes, will they continue to support the now old, obsolete Steam Decks?
The 256GB model is staying as LCD so yes, and the software behind them is largely the same remember (minus the extras for the new OLED ofc).

Quoting: LanzLiam, I thought you were boycotting X? That didn't last long!
As per the update on the article you’re referencing, the issues were reversed. I still don’t like X or Elon but for now it is a valuable tool and I continue to steer people to alternatives. Anyway, that is nothing to do with this article 👍

Baldur's Gate 3 patch 4 brings AMD FSR 2.2, looking better on Steam Deck

They actually updated the full patch notes to mention FSR 2.2 now. Was weird it didn't originally note it.

Be sure to check out our Steam Tracker.
In the Steam Languages graph, shouldn't Spanish include all the variants and not just the one from Spain? I think it would show a more relevant information regarding the overall usage.
Steam splits it and I only pick the currently most popular overall languages to add in.

Quoting: MohandevirI'm wondering if it's not the biggest missing link for the SteamOS 3.5 release and the Sephiroth official reveal. **Fingers crossed**
I think if it was for Deckard then it would have a much higher priority than it has seen. I imagine how it's being rendered is different, especially since from the previous leaks we saw it would have a standalone mode.
I'm not going to argue about that; you are in a much better position to know... It's just that all these leaks about Sephiroth and SteamOS 3.5 that's taking ages to reach stable... What is holding them back? What roadblock Valve met? It might just be coincidence, then.
I have no info other than what’s already public. SteamOS 3.5 is taking time just because of how much it’s adding in and they clearly want to keep pushing HDR which has taken a lot of work :)
