Does anyone know if the "voice acting" is gibberish, or if there is a semblance of language there? To my tone-deaf ears, it sounds a bit Nordic.

Valve detail Steam Frame and Steam Machine Verified requirements at GDC 2026

opt in for SteamOS as a whole and not specifically for the Steam Deck
Better yet, any Linux, not just SteamOS. In any case, I wonder if they will be on top of properly flagging the games that have stupid Steam Deck-only hacks to get Verified, instead of blindly listing them as Verified for Steam Machine.

After installing this, I happened to get the Steam survey on the next start of Steam. It says my video card is Mesa llvmpipe!?? Not sure that's a new problem, but I'm fairly certain it used to report the video card correctly.

Quoting: CarollyI know about Prop 65 labeling

California law to require operating systems to check your age

Quoting: EikeYou don't actually, literally think that you are talking to/writing with a hole in a backside. People get a money fine for insulting.
So what you are saying, is that you have to pay for the "privilege" of insulting (figurative) assholes.

First-person puzzle adventure The House of Tesla is getting a Definitive Edition free upgrade

Seems a little odd for a "Definitive Edition" to come out after just 6 months, but maybe that helps distinguish it from the badly reviewed original release. Would be nice if they went back and added native support to the House of Da Vinci series.

Which led me to a nice Linux-compatible version of Perfect Dark.
