I'm playing Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition, although it's marked as unsupported it runs without any issue and I'm absolutely sucked in by it. Can't wait till I get my hands on Steam Deck again and went to kill another boss :-)

Could be nice if Luxtorpeda supported this.

I'm not surprised that the Steam Deck is taking over. I didn't play anything on the desktop computer till I got mine. :-D

I have one question about scheduled updates. Does those work if the device is sleeping?

Quoting: ZlopezThe affiliate links in the article doesn't work for me. I'm just getting "Site can't be reached."

Works fine here, you likely have something blocking Adtraction.

It's working now. So it seems that this was just some temporary issue.

I need to try it on the Steam Deck, it's officially unsupported, but this doesn't mean it couldn't be played. Or try it using Steam Link.

Quoting: ahoneybunPrey is on there as well though it's also on sale on Steam for less and it is Steam Deck verified as well:

The Prey is marked as Steam Deck verified, but from my experience it was more playable than verified. I finished it, but there were few tweeks you need to do to have the best experience.

I wonder how long till the anti-monopoly laws will stop them?

Quoting: minidouI fail to see how glibc devs could be blamed for removing a function deprecated for 17 years (though I can agree a major version bump should have been called for). Do videogame devs need that much nursing ? EAC linux lib is a recent piece of software, how many deprecated dependencies do they use ?

The issue here is that there are plenty of games that are just abandonware at this time and you need emulator in most of the cases to get them running. I personally saw old Linux port that are still working in Proton, but are not playable on the current Linux machine (I'm actually really glad that the Valve came up with something like Steam Linux Runtime, because the Linux port targeting this container environment will always work in it, even when the OS under it will change all the time).

So the backwards compatibility is something that is called for. Even Linus Torvalds said: "Never break user space!" (This is why the Linux kernel is so stable and works on almost any machine.) Even if the feature has a bug, leave it there, just mention it in the documentation. Don't remove or change any call in your API or ABI, you will break things, always.
