Stellaris: Overlord expansion announced enabling you to expand your power

I'm always excited about a new Stellaris expansion because I bought the complete soundtrack on Steam several years ago, and every time a new expansion is released, the music is automatically added to my library.

Quoting: andy155Valve reduces the size of the Steam Deck client in the latest update? Honestly but who cares? You really exaggerate with the deck news.
I personally find stories like this of interest. You are free to skip over this content, or you can start your own Linux gaming site that focuses only on "important" stories.

Steam Deck gets a 15FPS option, new keyboard themes

Quoting: EikeI wonder what I would want to play with 15 fps though.
Not even a point and click, right?
A turn based strategy game, or even something like one of Paradox's real time grand strategy titles would be playable at 15FPS. But I imagine this is only a setting you would use if you really needed to maximize battery life.

Linux sticks above 1% still on the Steam Hardware Survey
8 Mar 2022 at 3:39 pm UTC

1% is in line with historical averages for Linux. I was hoping it would move higher now that gaming is more accessible than ever on Linux, but I guess that's never going to happen. Too many people think they have to use Windows.

Aperture Desk Job from Valve is out now and it's ridiculous

Valve's art design is among the best in the industry. I love the visuals here. And the humor is classic Portal.

By the way, the game works perfectly with a Steam Controller.

Quoting: Mountain ManCome on, man, even the Nintendo Switch can run Crysis these days. It would be pretty sad if the Deck couldn't.
Lighten up, man, it's a fun poke at the old meme.
Yes, I realized you were being humorous, as was I. I am often told I have a dry sense of humor, but I don't think that's true. I think "parched" is a more accurate description.

Now that Valve has some shiny new hardware that they want to promote, perhaps they'll finally get around to making Half-Life 3.

Steam Deck desktop mode plus other stores — Epic Games Store
26 Feb 2022 at 4:17 pm UTC

Hmmm... doesn't really sound like the Deck will work as a primary PC, although it might be able to function as a secondary one. Granted, it was never designed for that purpose, but I was hoping its desktop mode would be a little more functional.

Feral Interactive have no plans to update their Linux ports for Steam Deck

Disappointing, but not surprising. Seems that porting houses will always lag behind primary developers in terms of long-term support.
