Steam Deck officially hits over 13,000 games Playable and Verified

What games are you waiting and hoping will move from Unsupported to Verified one day? Just don't expect Fortnite to work any time soon.
Honestly I don't think it is unreasonable to expect the working part to happen, even if only through some totally unsupported community hack that might get you banned. Which is far from ideal but probably the best we can expect.

Other than that, I want the anti-cheat top 100 outliers such as Destiny 2, PUBG, R6 Siege, EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA) to fall in line.

Quoting: nullzeroFYI if anyone wants to try the game via Heroic/proton, it seems Sail Forth will be the next week's free game on Epic Store (11-18 Jan). And btw right now the giveaway is Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not that Epic matters much for the linux ecossystem, I though there might be at least someone interested here.
Yup, while I heavily encourage everyone on Linux to buy on Steam and support the platform that gives us at least some priority... If you are pressed for money, Epic Games Store freebies are a good way to enjoy some good games. And Heroic Games Launcher is a terrific way to enjoy EGS and GOG games.

MSI teasing a handheld gaming PC like the Steam Deck

No doubt it will be another handheld running Windows though
If I got a dollar for every time I saw an ROG Ally ad in super-mainstream places online...

Frustrating to see how easily ASUS and Microsoft can throw huge money at promoting it.

I understand that Valve took another avenue because they have the advantage of holding such central place in PC gaming but still... Frustrating.

Quoting: CatKillerAt some point I'll probably try Witcher 3, but my copy was a GOG key that came with my GPU so I'd need to set up Heroic and stuff, and I haven't really been arsed. (..) there's no rush.
Setting up Heroic is rather painless ☺️. But yeah this is why we love Steam and the native client!

What have you been playing recently on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux?
Skyrim on Desktop with Steam Link and Steam Controller! Mostly because I had no mindspace for trying out new stuff lately...

I started Divinity: Original Sin 1 but did not have time to play it much past like the first 3 hours.

And I regularly play Fall Guys with friends thanks to the Heroic Games Launcher goodness.

ScummVM 2.8.0 released with new game support and plenty of upgrades
3 Jan 2024 at 3:04 pm UTC

Quoting: whizseI was actually about to start playing The Dark Eye today. Now I need to ponder. To ScummVM or not to ScummVM?
Good question. It sports Platinum rating on ProtonDB through Proton so I guess you can stick with it. Or try both.
