Steam Deck gets a 15FPS option, new keyboard themes

Additionally, when you buy a new Keyboard theme, they don't show in the list until a reboot it seems but you can equip them directly from the store page
Yeah, desktop steam lists the keyboards in the left panel of the points shop, after I got one and equipped it from my laptop, the Deck was very confused - it had the old keyboard still in use, but the drop down box had no keyboard selected. I eventually had to reboot to see all the new keyboards, hi ho.

I did notice that one of the keyboards (Digital) doesn't accept touchscreen input for some reason. I didn't test them all, the others I did worked fine.

Quoting: constCan someone explain the Garfield Kart hype to me? Is it pure sarcasm or is this actually a good game or what is it?
I think is/was a meme, but after playing a few tracks is say it's a decent game to get on sale. Not nearly as good a Mario Kart if you own a Switch, but it's got a good feel to it.

Something got fixed, it's working for me now.

Well, I obviously entered the password correctly, otherwise the branch wouldn't be listed, but it clearly isn't downloading any files for me (and for some others, based off of comments on Steam and Daniel Mullins' discord)

Quoting: buckysrevengeNot sure what I did wrong, but it only installs a folder named "EmptySteamDepot" for me 🤨
It's not available yet.
There are some comments from people about testing it already, I guess they're using proton and don't realize it?

Valve releases Steam Deck shell CAD files

I don't have a 3D printer, but if I did, that Portal themed shell would be the first thing I'd make

Stadia continues the slow downward spiral

Quoting: MohandevirI just hope they will permit Stadia controllers to be paired via Bluetooth, when they decide to axe the service.

That was my hope, too, when I bought one of their controllers at that insanely cheap price near the end of last year.

I own one game on Stadia (that I got for free) and tried it free for a month. The experience is smoother than that of GFN, but because GFN incorporates my existing libraries of games (and I got in when the service price was only $25/6 months), it was a no-brainer which service for me to choose.

Steam gets a few useful UI tweaks to show Cloud Sync status and Game Install Size

They just added another great update to the beta client today that downloads a proton game's shader cache immediately after it's installed rather than waiting until you actually launch the game. Another one of those "why didn't we think of this earlier" updates

Classic open source platformer SuperTux is coming to Steam
4 Jan 2022 at 3:37 pm UTC

Quoting: MayeulCI'd be willing to buy it, but given that this game appeals to children, it should be made available for free on Steam IMO.
Looks like it's also on itch, so you can always pay what you want! https://supertux.itch.io/supertux [External Link]
