Thanks for the input. As someone who didn’t play these when they first came out, I’ve wondered if it’s worth playing through as a newcomer.

It has all the advantages of steamOS, can boot straight into game mode, supports Decky plugins, etc.
However it also supports installing traditional Linux programs permanently (which steam OS generally won’t let you do), and has other benefits too.
It’s news because of how extreme it is. 4 months in prison for having a novelty toy letter opener? Seems absolutely absurd.
Yeah, I’m hoping to see better Linux support for x86 programs on ARM and RISC-V hardware. I think the future of computers, and especially portable computers, is there.
There are lots of high end android games that this would make available, and we could also benefit from apps like Netflix/etc.
No, left side is correct for the breakfast gun.
A gun that size isn’t actually big enough for situations where you need a gun, it’s just meant to provide cover fire while you get a bigger better gun. You’ll be using your left hand to fire the cover gun, so that your right hand is available for picking up the bigger gun. This has the additional benefit of leaving your dominant hand free to eat with.
Yeah, after some years of DDG getting worse I finally dropped them. I switched to Brave and it’s surprisingly decent for an independent search engine. If you search for something that they don’t have good results for they’ll ask you if you want to get anonymous results from google as well, which means I don’t usually have to switch search engines for harder results.
They do seem to have a much lower number of image results though.
Some of that reflects poorly on the hardware too. With a few exceptions, they’ve shipped a mouse-based operating system on hardware that lacks a good way to control a mouse. If they know that the hardware is running windows ahead of time, wouldn’t it make sense to give users some good options for using windows?
There’s also more obvious hardware issues like the ROG Ally burning up MicroSD cards.
I’ve been fortunate that the main games I want mods for, support it rather seamlessly on linux. R2modman for Lethal Company and other unity games, and Mod.io for Deep Rock Galactic.
Not a gaming headset, but I just use the Pixel bud A-series I got for free when I bought my phone. They work pretty well, and I haven’t had complaints about mic quality.
I do think that the future of handheld devices is ARM or RISC-V, but the software support isn’t there yet and would severely limit what could be played.
It’s heavily rumored that Microsoft is working on their own handheld, and it will be interesting to see how that shakes up the market. If microsoft just makes windows controller/handheld friendly, it will greatly improve all the windows handhelds.
However I strongly suspect that we’ll instead see the microsoft handheld be locked down, only able to run microsoft store games. It’ll still probably do better than all the other non-deck handhelds that way, but won’t really be a handheld “PC” if locked down that way.
Third possibility is that Microsoft might do both, release and locked down handheld and release some lesser improvements for navigating windows with a controller. This outcome would make sense if they have different teams working on both at the same time.
I did, but I haven’t actually watched it yet. I’ve been wanting to buy tunic/ow for years now.
I would assume it would work better, at least for that controller.
That’s what people keep telling me. It’s been $6 on GoG for months now, but I really wanted it in steam instead. And thankfully, it finally went on sale for $6 on Steam as well.
I know the virtual pinball community frequently recommends steam decks to power their pinball cabinets. I would assume that means it’s pretty decent compared to other cheap PC options.
Should work fine, although I found connecting 4 bluetooth controllers at once to the LCD deck didn’t always work reliably. The OLED model has a better wireless chip, so this shouldn’t be an issue. The OLED model also supports waking up when you turn on a controller, but this only works if the controller supports bluetooth low energy (BLE). Xbox controllers do, but if you’re using a different controller you’ll need to check if it supports it or not (if you want this feature).
Dock’s have become much more reliable. The official dock is overly expensive imo, but it recently was updated to support CEC where the deck can turn the TV on and switch inputs to the Deck, which makes it a lot nicer for Docked play. I don’t know if any of the cheaper 3rd party docks support CEC yet.
You mentioned switch emulation, but not all switch games run well. You’ll need to check on the specific games you want to play.
When emulating, the Deck’s built in controls will usually default to player 1. You can rearrange the controller order in both the quick-access-menu (on the deck press the “. . .” button, on other controllers hold the “home” button and press A), and in the steam input menu.
Great game, I’ve now bought it on 3 different platforms which is rare for me.
I had some friends who were huge into Kingdom Hearts growing up, so I’m kinda curious about playing it now that it’s on Steam. However the numbering of the series makes it really unclear what games I need to play to experience the core story.
That’s not even a weapon though, any steak knife would be much more dangerous due to having an actual handle on it.
It reminds me of when the british police bragged about taking a bunch of weapons off the streets, and they had just confiscated a tool bag from a handyman.
