Dead Space got a small update for Steam Deck

Yeah, that was weird. For a second I thought it was a subtitle and the paragraph below was missing.

After the patch I just went to the place with the most slowdown (Mining Floor 2 looking back towards the elevator) where fps goes down to around 10 for me. No improvement there, so I'm guessing perf isn't any better than it was. It was already perfectly playable if far from perfect.

It worked for me. With both devices on wifi, it was slower than just downloading off Valve’s servers.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIs is just me, or does the phrase

sound kind of rude?
It doesn't sound rude, it sounds enticing.

Surprisingly BioShock Infinite got an update to fix it launching on Linux

Yes, that was surprising but welcome. To my shame, that’s a game I’m still to play.

I don't play many visual novels
Here we go again. :-) You should put this in your "about the author" box, it'd save you having to type this every time you write about a VN. You know they're not synonymous with sex and nudity, right?
I don't say it every time I write about a Visual Novel? And yes, I am of course well aware of that.
Which reminds me I have Werewolf still unplayed. I made the mistake of getting it from GOG and if it's not on my game list on the Steam Deck it doesn't exist... :cry:

Also, their About Us page is quite something else. A finer example of corpo-speak I have not seen today or any other day of this week.

The logo is VERY unfortunate. As is the name, really. Both for different reasons.

Otherwise, cool.

Edit: I realise they probably were around before the stupid war, so why should change their logo. Still... it was the first thing that came to mind.

These were the most popular Steam Deck games for January 2023

My last few days have been completely
dominated by Dead Space. It was rough going the first day, to the point I was on the verge of refunding it, but it got very smooth as time went by and just today I noticed it was actually verified by Valve. Performance isn’t quite there, but it’s basically problem-free now.

I ran out of steam halfway through Skyrim and forgot all about it, perhaps it’s time I gave it another chance. Burnout may have something to do with it, I got through every Elder Scrolls game except Arena.
