I’m quite happy with this, I always used to have to adjust both sliders to get the fps I wanted.

Apple basically want developers to make software only for them and distribute it only through them. There are a lot of people who do that and thrive within their ecosystem. It's a tough sell for games, and I don't mean those free to play pay to win things phone stores are full of.

Here's how Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 runs on Steam Deck and desktop Linux

I just installed it (again) today and played a bunch. Performance is surprisingly fine using the Steam Deck preset. The launcher was an annoyance, glad there’s a way to disable it. All in all, it looks ready to play now.

Quoting: grigiHold on... MK has a story?
It was all the rage back when I was in high school, didn't even know it was a thing anymore :shock:
Stories are basically mandatory in fighting games nowadays. The story mode is basically long cutscene-fight-long cutscene-fight, repeat for some hours. MK does it, DoA does it, it's all the rage. A huge improvement to what was there before as far as I'm concerned. It's all quite entertaining and makes these games interesting for people like me, who have no interest in fighting others.

I’ll just wait for Fedora 39 to come out, many of the inevitable bugs should be sorted by then. Good times!

So he's redone the universe in such a way that Mortal Kombat is still a thing? The lengths some people will go to to keep a job...

Quoting: jordicomaAnd the question that everyone asks. Why with a long standing series has to have the name 1? They had an overflow on the version counter?
I guess they did focus group testing and found out people couldn't count much beyond 10 and so here we are.

Titanfall 2 has a player surge with a huge sale, great on Steam Deck & desktop Linux

"Completely containerized" is maybe going a bit far, a wine/proton prefix is just a directory with all the windows files for the game in it, but basically yes.

Quoting: benstor214You are perfectly right, but do I want to 'infest' my linux machine with the EA app?
If it helps any, you’re just infesting a wine prefix with it and can purge it completely in just a click.

Steam will soon show better controller support details like for PlayStation controllers
7 Sep 2023 at 5:42 am UTC

I'm glad Valve is making the effort to recognise the Playstation controller as a viable input device on PC, especially with Steam Deck actually having a mash-up of Xbox and PS button names (R1 instead of RB for instance) and it'd be nice if games actually showed that.

Coming from Playstation, and especially the Switch (inverted A/B/X/Y), it initially was an issue for me to tell which button was which. Now, a few years later, I don't care either way.
