Steam Deck thoughts a year later

Quoting: ShabbyXYou'd think Liam would use a Linux-powered phone...

Depends how much of a masochist he is

I have a Pinephone and as much as I love it, it's really hard work to use for actual basic phone calls.

p.s. I really need to use my Deck more!

I meant Android really, lol

I mean Apple _is_ pretty hostile to open things (like, I don't know, Vulkan?). It feels wrong to support them

This conversation is not going anywhere, stop wasting your lives and move on.
The next release of 0 A.D. will have experimental Vulkan API support

Quoting: play0adWith regards to Render doc, you have to change some options in the config (to enable 3.3 GL by default it's set to 2.1) You'll probably see that we have some heavily unoptimized art assets. Also, the lack of instancing, the number of materials, and the great variety in assets.

I'll wait for the Vulkan renderer to look at that :)

I hope they do a good job, otherwise it's Linux's name they'll be dragging through the mud.

Quoting: rklI found a post on Reddit that got me further in the process on Linux. Basically, the controller's USB device doesn't have write access for your normal user

What were the group and permissions of the file originally? I suspect all you needed to do was to add your user to that group.

At least I saw this previously with serial ports and the dialout group.
Valve suffers a huge leak from various games like Portal, Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2

Someone educate me, why should a leak like this bother Valve?
State of the industry: MSI offered a chance to win the ability to buy a GPU

The state of the GPU industry is good for the environment though; people stick with their existing GPUs for much longer.

I wish this happened to phones, so people wouldn't be literally changing phones every 2 years. 'this' being shortage, not lottery of course.
My current little wish-list for Steam Deck upgrades

Hibernate would be slower than just adding a few seconds though, why not recharge the deck every few days if you don't play it (but somehow left it in the middle of a game you didn't want to quit)?

Does it have a campaign yet?

Also, nice, I might look at what they are doing in RenderDoc and give them some pointers (if GPU is their bottleneck)
