Before this video, I had the impression the M.2 slot was difficult to access. That is nothing. Actually is more difficult to open a Xbone or PS4/5 controllers.

Anyway, congrats to Valve for having the balls to do something like that, even to acknowledge the mistake of the anti-static strip. That felt very informal and at same time informative.

I still remember specialists in public health estimating the pandemic would roll for a couple months... Boy did they underestimate the public effort in not cooperating with the recommendations of health organizations.

Probably not the answer you guys want, but you can actually run Firefox from your home directory. Just download the file from Mozilla, decompress it wherever you want and execute the binary. I used it that way for years because Canonical usually take a week to release a package of the new version.

I know a couple youtubers that will take the "external GPUs are not supported on Steam Deck" as a challenge. There are some videos out there of people plugging a discreet card trough the m.2 connector in some mini PCs. You bet someone will try that on the Deck too.

The art in this one looks very nice, although I got the impression they hold back a bit on the details so they can release it on the Switch. Totally justifiable, from their point of view.

I enjoyed the first one and I'm glad they will rework the combat system. It was passable, not great. I'm too gave up after I got stuck in some stage. Maybe I find the will to finish it now, knowing this one is coming and I will end up getting it.

Whishlisted it, looks very nice.

This publisher (Tribute Games) also did other Linux games, and they will publish the new TMNT. Lets hope we got another sweet Ethan Lee port too.

I was playing it yesterday (not this new DLC). It is impressive how much those DLCs allowed SCS to improve the base game. The graphic is a lot better than in the beginning, the performance on Linux improved a lot, now being mostly on par with Windows. Tons of small improvements in the core gameplay.

The only problem they didn't manage to get hid off is the notorious aliasing, that can only be deal with using heavy upscaling in the options. One can only hope they will offer TAA in the feature, since their move to DX11/OGL4.5.

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: UnixOutlawSorely tempted... but... I just bought two laptops - and - I'd really prefer an AMD option...

Personally, I don't trust laptops for these reasons:

Laptops are kept in direct contact with our lap. Its undersides emit 40- 100 milliGauss EMF, which is 40X to 100X higher than the standard limit of EMF exposure. The EMF exposure on a limited part of the body makes it more hazardous.

I know many people have a blind belief that RF-EMF is harmless or unimportant. But the independent studies of the top scientific teams tell a different story.

What is stopping you to use a laptop over a table?

Also, instead of buying a laptop, you can buy a notebook. :tongue:

Quoting: whizse

Quoting: DeadCodeThe poor can have lots of cores. I got a Ryzen 2700 for my gaming box for for $150. I've seen Ryzen 1700's for a $120 on ebay. So the poor are not limited in cores.

Wait, even the poor have eight cores now? What does that make me? Destitute? *cries in quadcore* :cry:

Shhh, we call ourselves "Steam Deck Owners" now. And if anybody asks, we have got the 512GB model.
