Wow! Frankly, I never thought I'd see the day...

However: "Family Sharing is a feature that developers may opt their games out of for technical or other reasons at any time. Visit the Steam Store to see a list of games that currently support Family Sharing."

And: "it is understandable that some day you may need to join a new Steam Family. Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family."

Still, this was my major peeve with Steam by far, so any improvement is better than locking my entire account when my daughters and I just want to play different games...

I half expected the dev to be based either in the UK or Argentina, but instead they're based in Norway...

> What have you been playing recently on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux?

On my Debian desktop, I recently finished Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (good enough Borderlands game but not a great one) and now playing through UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection (which is decent but I think I prefer Tomb Raider in that genre).

I also played through Strange Horticulture (good indie game) on Amazon Luna through Google Chrome on my desktop while it was free for Prime members in December. With its mostly static graphics, it worked perfectly over the network and, hey, can't beat "free"!

On my Deck I've been going through smaller games one after another! Over the past few weeks/months: Lake, Paradise Killer, Haven Park, Smushi Come Home, Tinykin, Mutazione, Walking Dead & Batman Telltale games, Inside, Shardlight, Unavowed, and many others, all of which I liked. Currently playing through Rakuen and Technobabylon, and I've also tried a whole bunch of games that I started but put aside for now (Monster Sanctuary, Crosscode, Creaks, and others). That's one thing I love about the Deck: the ease with which you can sample games and play the ones that tickle your fancy.

With the Deck docked on the TV, my daughter and I recently coop'ed and finished It Takes Two (great game!) and we're now continuing our neverending Divinity: Original Sin 2 playthough.

Wow, this is a blast from the past! I spent so much time playing deathmatch in Nexiuz, probably more than 15 years ago now. For a couple of years it was the only game I played, knew most of the dev team (even then it was a small community), even made a couple of online friends.

Every time you killed someone in Nexiuz deathmatch, the game would say something like "one frag", "two frags", etc. My daughters, who were toddlers at the time, didn't understand the word "frag", so they would run to their mother yelling "Moooommmm! Baba is shooting Franks again!" To this day, my wife calls my gaming time "shooting Franks"!

Very cute game and the first one I played on my new Deck. It's relatively easy to finish it but hard to get to 100% (and the small Deck screen and my old eyes don't help, though you can zoom in). Recommended!

> In all supported regions (including Asia), you can now pick up a Steam Deck with 10% off.

I finally broke down and bought the damn thing. And then I used the $40 I saved to buy an SD card. And now I'm trawling through a myriad of dock and hub options...
