I've been interested in this since shortly after I got into Paradox grand-strategy games with EU IV back in 2014. Victoria 2 sounded interesting, but wasn't on Linux and I didn't feel like messing about with Wine at the time (no Proton yet), so I figured I'd wait a few years for a sequel to come out while I played EU IV and CK II in the meantime.
…eight years later… :grin:

Steam Deck 2 is absolutely coming, new booklet from Valve confirms

Quoting: benmhallI'm honestly curious, would this be any use for buttons besides the Steam and Ellipsis buttons? All the rest are pretty much directly under your fingers while holding the Deck, and even the aforementioned two I can easily find without looking. (It would be pretty cool to see, though, and I'm definitely behind it on that front! Imagine full RGB and customizable options per button… :happy:)Quoting: GuestI would hope that a Steam Deck 2 would have the option to turn on back light for the buttons...playing in the dark is tricky when you have to hunt for a button.This is my only real complaint with the Steam Deck.

Quoting: soulsourceI haven't played this for some time, ever since they introduced the "blue roads" bug [External Link]. For me that was too immersion breaking to enjoy the game...I hadn't ever heard of that bug myself, and when I fired it up just now to check I didn't notice anything like that.
Does anyone know if this bug has been fixed meanwhile?

Quoting: EikeThe problem would be that the "automatically sold out" time would end earlier.Well, given the latest info from Valve reported in this article, at least if people are canceling there are even more people placing new orders since the number keeps going up. :smile:
We want huge demand, not people cancelling their orders en masse.

Time to join the dual-monitor club again, after 5 years away from it. :woot: So good to be back.
Now to save up for that third monitor… :happy:

Valve testing new mobile Steam app with QR codes for sign ins

Quoting: BlackBloodRumValve just remembered they have a mobile app! :shock:Does that handle entering the code for you? That's pretty slick.
With that said, I hope it doesn't interfere with the current 2FA system too much - as with the current system I have it working in KeePassXC and don't require the app every time I need to login on my desktop (which is frequent due to my VPN)
So hopefully they haven't changed / altered the 2FA code system.

Quoting: constRemember that setting up a workshop for such complicated devices is also a hefty optimization goal with room for experiments and failures... They probably started with 1-3 lanes and now that they have a blueprint, they can scale by adding more lanes. I'd guess that setting up new lanes worked much quicker then they expected and that enabled the explosion in production. Among other things. :)This now makes me want a manufacturing logistics game about ramping up Steam Deck production to feed an insatiable customer base while dealing with supply chain issues. Make it happen, Valve! :grin:

I'm not 100% on board with the art style, but I do like the description. I've already got it on my wishlist, we'll see how it develops.

Ok, I like that concept for the trailer, that's a new one, and pretty funny. I haven't played for over a year now what with life being busy and not having time to really commit to long-form games, but I did like the previous airports DLC even if I never got around to buying it, so maybe when this releases it'll be time to pick up both and jump back in. :smile:
