I want to buy, well at least make a reservation for, a second Steam Deck. But so far still only one per Steam account allowed.

Castlevania Advance Collection works on Steam Deck, despite what Konami say

Maybe it's just outdated information on Konami's end?

I didn't work before at least. IIRC even with Proton 6 I had the same issues blocking each game in the collection.

GNOME is Life.

I love the freedom to choose the least customization but most streamlined DE. GNOME has all the defaults I work most efficient with. (I alternate between on 5 Linux machines and prefer to spend my time on other things. I pretty much don't customize anything or therefore don#t need to do any "automatic" synchronization or overhead alike.)

But I can also also see that others prefer to customize their setup to a high detail. I used to enjoy that a lot too. And I'm glad you can with KDE!

Welcome to Linux.

16-bit inspired explosive action-platformer Steel Assault is out now
28 September 2021 at 6:19 pm UTC

Quoting: rea987
Quote4:3 ASPECT RATIO/CRT FILTERS: Zenovia Interactive founder Sri Kankanahalli designed Steel Assault with the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio to keep the action quick and surprising... just like it was back in the day. Steel Assault’s many filters and video options are adjustable to accommodate a range of gaming setups.

So, can 4:3 aspect filter and CRT filter nonsenses be disabled? If not, I will just pass, cannot stand 4:3 aspect ratio.

you can disable the "CRT filter" and enable a "border art" instead if just black for ratios wider than 4:3.
but not change the aspect ratio.

that said. IMHO it looks amazing with the "CRT filter" in 4:3. Maybe the best retro style in that regard I've seen so far!

It's a Fabulous Game!

Not at the level Hollow Knight is for me but I enjoy `Unbound: Worlds Apart` so much. Way more than I would have expected. The 1 HP + puzzle mechanics are brilliant!
