An interview with the creator of Deckmate, the Steam Deck attachment system

My biggest indicator of success came when I got an email from a customer who was using their Deckmate system to allow them to mount their Deck to their leg.
He's creating cyborgs! :grin:
I wonder if this is about some disabled person, because of the heart melting...
(I could see a disabled relative having use for such a setup.)
You can see the person in the picture.

Steam Deck Beta update tweaks notifications, boot video length upped to 30 seconds

I mean it's good that they give people the freedom to do what they want, but I get the impression that some people just want to do it for the sake of it - and not because they actually want to watch a 30 second boot video every time. There's no benefit to it.

People who keep saying that Valve is "the good guy" will get a rude awakening once more questionable decisions will be made.
I will go with the JSAUX dock instead.
They already have questionable decisions like bias towards Japanese visual novel. There's numerous case for cancelling/rejecting visual release that not even rated for adult, while in the same time Steam have games like Sex with Hitler or other porn games.

Visual novel fans have been criticizing Steam decision for ages.
The last one is Chaos;Head Noah despite having zero adult content

It's kind of funny when they want to capture Japanese market with Steam Deck, yet keep making this decision.
“Valve’s content review team, the group that made the original decision, has re-examined CHAOS;HEAD NOAH and decided to reverse course and allow the game to ship on Steam, as is. We’ve also examined the process that led to the previous decision about CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, and made some changes to avoid situations like this in the future.”

Well, this year's Fifa will be the last made by EA. They will do their own game then and Fifa will give the license to other developers.

Seems I'll be replaying Half-Life 2 again soon but this time in VR

... Then play hl2? This is just a VR mod for that game.
And here I thought the joke couldn't be more obvious :sad:

Valve spoke to IGN Japan about the Steam Deck, here's a few takeaway points

At 11:33 they are also using a slightly different model. The speaker thingy looks different and the menu buttons at the top are different as well.
