Too bad they, like everyone except valve get the stick-placement wrong

Steam Deck SteamOS 3.5.14 Preview - Persona 3 Reload improvements and more
6 Feb 2024 at 6:45 am UTC

Quoting: sonic2kkI don't think Persona 3 Reload makes it clear, but the "Reflections" setting is what toggles ray-tracing. On desktop at 4k and Steam Deck at 800p, I don't see any visual difference
It's only the reflections in windows and mirrors, it doesn't really matter overall though, but it completely removes reflections if you turn it off.

A lot of swedish studios in the list...
Makes me very sad if some of them where to close... :(

Quoting: ElectricPrismAwesome, this increases the reach of these games as they can be played on more devices with lower specs.

I wonder if you could run this with box86 and play on Raspberry Pi 4 or other devices not originally intended for gaming.

It does make a big difference having the extra frames especially with FPS and fast moving games.

Since Black MESA is HL2 it would be really cool to get Vulkan imported into Black Mesa too.
As long as the opengl version is an option, otherwise those with GPUs older than AMD 6xxx, Nvidia 5xx, and Intel HD 3xxx won't be able to play at all.

Yeah, Mac Blesa has been all kinds of borked every time I've tried the native Linux version(AMD GPU), so I've just used proton, native vulkan would be nice :)

Some Steam Decks ship with an x2 SSD instead of an x4 SSD

Quoting: TermyWell, silently changing the specs for some is bound to annoy people. If Valve would have been upfront about it, done a blogpost explaining it and providing their benchmarks, i guess nobody really would complain.
But changing it an hoping noone will notice is bound to be perceived as deceptive and not taking the customer serious...
Are we sure someone has received it with a slower SSD before they updated the page? Though they probably should have sent a short mail at least saying there is an update to the specs, or provide some benchmarks that proves their claims.
As this means more steam decks will get into the hands of more people, I'm for it, but it could have been handled better.

As others have pointed out, it will hit other bottlenecks before the storage, I don't even think a SATA based SSD would be any noticable difference...

Wii U emulator Cemu plans to go open source and support Linux

If they could only incorporate the libdrc [External Link] project now that the emulator is coming to Linux, this would reach perfection, although this is great news and I will definitely set this up when it's available.

I'm now a true convert after using a Vertical Mouse

Vertical mice are fantastic, I've had a Logitech MX vertical since october last year and I'm never going back.
I also have a Kinesis advantage keyboard, so my desktop is the ultimate repellent for people wanting to use my PC.

Quoting: linuxcity
Quoting: SirLootALotHas anyone tested RPCS3 performance with Valve's new "ACO" Mesa shader compiler for AMD GPUs?
ill test this later on i have a vega 56
Any results? Thinking if it's worth it to update yet

GreenWithEnvy, an impressive tool for overclocking NVIDIA GPUs

Quoting: Guestit's about time we get something like this,now i wish we had a msi afterburner type program then i would be in heaven.
Nvidiux has been out for ages, not as featurecomplete as this, close though.
This seems to have all the options of afterburner? Can't say for sure as I dropped Nvidia and Windows like a hot potato years ago.
