HORI announced a special gamepad for Steam / Steam Deck

People on Reddit are saying that the controllers don't have rumble or haptics. I could make do without trackpads, but lacking both is a hard pass for me.

Lol, how did they not see it?
I'm pretty sure it's intentional.

Obsidian are great. I wish they could have stayed independent, though.

GOG will purge your Cloud Saves that hit over 200MB

Quoting: ShmerlNever really used their cloud storage, but just to point out - 35 saves for later parts of playthrough in Cyberpunk 2077 (that's manual and autosaves) take around... wait for it... 302 MB! So with such kind of limit that's not really practical to use their cloud sync I'd guess.

In the early parts of the game saves are much smaller. I guess they somehow accumulate state of the world the longer you play and grow in size significantly.
I wouldn't be surprise if they end up allowing devs to purchase additional storage if their games need it.

Loved the first GoW reboot. Will get Ragnarok for sure. although getting tired of all the additional "networks" we need to connect to for just a game.

IGN acquired the Gamer Network including RPS, Eurogamer, VG247 and more

I'm a big fan of Eurogamer Spain, they're very good journalists, quite based, know some of them in person, and tend to do a lot of fun streamings. They've said several times that even if they belonged to the Eurogamer network, they had total freedom to create content, etc. Here hoping this doesn't affect them, and that they can keep going strong.

Same sentiment for all the other sites, of course, and appalling that IGN already fired people. Also somewhat dystopian that gamesindustry.biz, now part of IGN, is the one mentioning the news about IGN firing people just after being bought. Yikes.

As for the sites I frequent; Aside of the above mentioned, only gamingonlinux :) Several years ago I used to like RPS too, but stopped visiting at some point.

Ghost of Tsushima single-player only on Steam Deck due to PlayStation Network features

Quoting: MasterSleortI have been looking forward to this game ever since Sony started releasing games on Steam. As long as the game works in single player without requiring internet, I am happy. I hate the single player games that I cannot play on the go, because I need some sort of internet connection. The fact that they say they have tried to optimize the game for Steam Deck makes me so grateful!
Mainly came to say this :)

SteamOS 3.6 Preview for Steam Deck brings numerous big new features

Added support for some HDMI CEC features:

TV remote input
TV wake up

This is very interesting! Soon I'll be able to turn on the TV, sit on the sofa... and not having to curse and get up again because I forgot to turn the Deck on :grin:

Yep, thought the same!

Valve tweak 4K screen scaling on Linux, plus more Remote Play fixes

Remote Play doesn't work at all for me :(
I decided to give Sunshine/Moonlight a go, and it just works without issues* Love it!

* Actually there is a small issue, I can't get 5.1 sound to work. Even after making sure the 5.1 sink on the source PC is selected, and the 5.1 setting on Moonlight is too. Just 2 channels coming through to the AV/Deck. I wonder if a 5.1 card is required for the sink to get the extra channels too?
