I've never played any of their other titles but had wishlisted Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew.

Just bought it to show my support as I love pirate games. Best of luck to them all going forward.

You suffer here too eh? Cheers.
I'll raise a faygo/vernors to that.

I'd love to be able to go outside again and enjoy the summer air.

Quoting: QYMEUrg, why do i have logitech stuff and not corsair ? Maybe there's something for logitech but last time i checked, i don't think i saw my peripheral being supported nowhere.
On the mouse side logitech is pretty well supported by libratbagd/piper/sonarr. I've grown to love my System76 launch keyboard + a single short cable from its USB hub over to the logitech powerplay mouse pad.

Update post install:

They are NOT kidding when they say to allocate 6ish hours to this task. I flew through disassembly and reassembly due to prior experience in small electronic repair but by far the biggest time sink was removing the old adhesive from the touchpads and display. The shell is well made but all of the screws are thrown together in a few plastic bags making the reassembly process unnecessarily tedious in my opinion, especially when paired with the install video's vague this-screw-goes-here pictures.

My advice if you want to do this and value your time: Have a new screen (sans adhesive) ready to go, and maybe some new touchpads else take your time and be sure to not get isopropyl alcohol under the LCD backing.

My advice generally: a skin is by far easier to install. My steam deck 2 will remain stock.

Zero interest in this game personally but even I'm giddy that another major title is playable on Deck/Linux.

That's more or less the idea they're going for, DIY customization.

Need a new controller? The 8BitDo Ultimate C 2.4G looks great

Damn these colorways would've made a killing around Easter (and still will). I don't see any mention of hall effect joysticks though and because of that I'll stick with my "Raven" purple zen controller (Gulikit) + dongle.

No app to begin with and easy-to-apply firmware updates from Linux.
