Steam Deck verified, but how well will it really run? That's the real question.

This is a problem on the Nintendo Switch, too. When I first got the Switch, I was shocked that automatic UI scaling depending on whether you were handheld or docked wasn't a standard feature in every game, because it's so obvious.

This thing looks awesome, and the price seems reasonable, but I have no use for one. Also, I will wait for it to go into general production before I will even consider paying for it. I refuse to support easily broken Kickstarter promises.

Half-Life 3 rumours are about again after a teaser from G-Man's voice actor

I'm surprsied there's never been a HL movie though, an official one that is, you'd think it'd be perfect movie fodder!
The 1996 movie The Arrival with Charlie Sheen is probably the best unofficial Half-Life movie at the moment. Sheen even bears an uncanny resemblance to Gordon Freeman in the film, with his orange jumpsuit, short cropped hair and goatee, and horned rim glasses. Or I should say that Freeman bears an uncanny resemblance to Sheen, considering the movie came first.

Hopefully the native Linux version will actually run well, unlike Civ VI which runs dramatically better using Proton.
