The more I use a Steam Deck, the more I feel big boxes hooked permanently to a single TV are ridiculous.

Pick up and play anywhere, with the ability to hook up to a TV is just…so much better!

If Valve doesn’t do a Steam Deck 2 I will be quite sad.

The OLED design is basically perfect. Just bump up the APU in 2 years time 👌

@ThePlant I'd like to see a steam controller 2, as well

@gamingonlinux seems like it could be fixed through a proton update this time, so hopefully it won't take too long until it's playable again, the patch notes look great!

@gamingonlinux That timing could literally not be worse, I was about to play and saw this haha. Guess I'm playing something else until it is fixed :(

@gamingonlinux I am a huge chicken when it comes to playing scary games. Like, HUGE.

But this looks really good, and reminds me of some unholy blend of Bioshock and Half-Life, games of which I really liked the setting/premise. (Especially Half-Life ❤️)

Steam / Steam Deck stable client update released fixing lots of bugs, including a CSS change to "reduce package size and reduce feature leaks" 🤨 🤨 gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/stea

@gamingonlinux Gotta wonder how big the CSS class names were if they had a material impact on the package size. Maybe autogenerated names like class="big_hero_unit_for_game_id_858588333_aka_half_life_3_oops_we_cannot_put_this_here"

PG&E Delenda Est

@gamingonlinux whaaa still no 8 direction mapping option for old dos games that use the numpad

Maybe next time.

PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (`~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf` where <steamid> is your id).

See github.com/ValveSoftware/steam for details.

I've tried walking average users through deleting a file in a hidden directory before. It might be quicker to just have them factory-reset their Steam Decks

Sigh. Google flagged gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/clas as containing "Malicious or unwanted software" with no way on the adsense control panel to speak to them, to get them to recheck it.

It's a news article about a game, that links to the GPL source code (GitHub) and a Steam page.

What about that is "Malicious or unwanted software" exactly?

@gamingonlinux malicious blah blah is anything they don't force you to keep xD

@gamingonlinux it sucks that Google dominates web search. I've switched to using DuckDuckGo and Ecosia. I know Bing powers them, but still more refreshing to use those services. I hope Google doesn't keep you down!

Chris :steamdeck2:

@gamingonlinux it looks really interesting and I may check it out. Puzzle games have never been my strong-suit, and can lead to frustration if they're too difficult or obtuse for me, but I still enjoy playing some of them.

@gamingonlinux For a publisher struggling to release good games and hoping to finally find success in Japan, shutting down Tango (who just had a big hit) seems like an especially dumb move.

TTimo

@gamingonlinux ouch - I knew a lot of those folks :-(

Ah Mastodon, it never fails. Whenever I point out somewhere else to follow or join, there's *always* replies telling me how much they don't want it or don't want to see it.

@gamingonlinux it's not Mastodon, I think it's the tech community in general. What you are describing is exactly why I've grown my audiences separate from my tech channel.

"I don't want to see it!"

Then.. doing fucking look at it? Idk, people need to grow up.

Patrick

@gamingonlinux That’s dumb of them. Other platforms do exist and someone like yourself would be hurting themselves not using several of them for reach (and of course mentioning on all of them where all they can follow) 🙄

Our Discord has a channel for people to point out free games and good sales, why not come take a look: discord.gg/AghnYbMjYg

Felix Urbasik

@gamingonlinux I know "why not come take a look?" was a rhetorical question, but to me the answer is that I prefer to avoid the progressively enshittified Discord. Sorry for ruining the mood.

Miguel

@gamingonlinux and now I've shared your discord deals channel to our Portuguese Steam Deck deals channel discord server. 😅

Tarcísio Surdi

@gamingonlinux I had no clue this was a distro specific issue! Ever since switching to Linux I had to retire my VR headset since I couldn’t get it to work.

Seeing that Valve is working on this makes me hopeful to try it out again soon!
