Quoting: shimmyMy wishlist (currently):
- wake up on bluetooth controller connection
- switch off the TV on sleep

The OLED can do the first one; the LCD can't.

Quoting: Claude_LibDoes it finally allow the screen to turn off while downloading games? Something that should've been there from day one for OLED models, if you ask me.

Or at least a screensaver; they could have different ones available in the points store - like flying toasters, say.

Quoting: CatKillerI really enjoyed Dark Nights with Poe and Munro on the Deck.

Any other recommendations? I don't think I have ever played an FMV game, but I am curious.

I haven't played any of the others. I took a punt on that one because it was native and looked like it could be a giggle.

I'm pretty sure that's "as far in the future as the software will let us put the release date so that we don't have to admit that we're not going to release it."

Quoting: Leahi84I don't have a Steam deck myself as I'm not a fan of portable gaming at all (Don't even play games on my Pixel phone) and don't want to play games unless its on my PC, but I'm glad for my nephew who hasn't been able to get one down there yet.

Most of my usage has been on the sofa or in bed - you don't have to take it outside for it to be useful.

Quoting: CatKillerDo we know if they're partnering with someone, or doing it themselves?

Probably not.
I honestly don't know, which dorpbear Valve had to kill, but since their release misses any reference to their future partners and such releases are prime real estate for partnership announcements I feel safe to assume that they're not partnering with anybody except Australian quality control.

That suggests to me that they did want to partner with someone like they've done for the Asian countries it's been released in (they said that Japan and Australia were "furthest along" when asked about other countries during the conference around the launch), but it fell through and they've taken it on themselves - hence the delay. You're right that if they were partnering with someone they'd probably have said so in the announcement so that they were treating that partner well.
