Ars did a write-up of the historical gaps if you wanted to let that guide you.
(note that we're 4,949 days and counting between the release of Red Dead Redemption on consoles and its release on PC)

Quoting: dannielloI think that with GTA6 we will have the same situation like it was on GTA5 - it will be limited in time console exclusive. The question is how long?

No mouse in the default Deck setup.
Some puzzles are lifted wholesale from the classics; which I believe is from affection. The timing-critical puzzles in Italy were a bit annoying on the controller.
I played 1, 2 & 5 relatively recently on the Deck and had a great time. The 3D ones didn't appeal. I can also recommend the Darkside Detective games on the Deck.

Quoting: AnzaI wasn't even aware of the tank controls as the traditional mouse controls work just fine.

QuoteOn regular adventure game scale it's somewhat below the classics. Some puzzles are bit tedious, but still in overall enjoyable game.

QuoteShould play the Broken Sword games at some point, but there's always something else to play first.

The story mode has you up against tanks (lots of tanks) so it's not optional. And as well as Riddler trophies and puzzles there are riddler races. There's a lot of car-required content, but there's a lot of content overall. I think my playthrough was around 70/30 in favour of not being in the car.
It's definitely on the Broken Sword trajectory, but less dark in story I would say. "Grandfather died and left you his house" is also the start of Stardew Valley, after all. It has tank controls like OG Grim Fandango which takes a bit of getting used to, but the controller layout is pretty good.

Quoting: PhlebiacI loved the earlier Arkham games, but I could never get into games with a lot of driving (like GTA), so haven't delved into Arkham Knight much. Is driving the Batmobile required for a lot of the game?

Quoting: PhlebiacAlso curious about Crowns and Pawns; at one point the reviews seemed a bit mixed, although they look fairly solid now. How does it compare to something like the Broken Sword series?

OLEDs would benefit from screensavers for the same reasons as CRTs did.

Quoting: NezchanQuoting: whizseQuoting: NezchanSeems like the creator of Xscreensaver is rather upset about this development, given Wayland has no way to implement screen savers at all.Another win for Wayland?
In its way. Since the passing of CRT monitors there hasn't been that much point having screensavers at all, so it's just a niche enthusiast thing now.

Quoting: ElectricPrism"Multiplayer" isn't the tag you want to look for.Quoting: PyreticQuoting: ElectricPrismStill trying to figure out what to play -- DOOM? Apex Legends? Split Gate? Maybe MCC?
Edit 2: I'm also looking for a good racer, LAN PvP -- unfortunately Garfield Kart and Super Indie Kart are not LAN AFAIR :(
You can search for the games on Steam for LAN Coop.
Yeah I already did that and the tags weren't too helpful. I bought a few of them, and have to return 1 since the term "Multiplayer" was used ambiguously to mean "Multiplayer on 1 Big Screen"

Repetition for emphasis: this is the global top sellers; the other things in the list are sold everywhere but the Deck is only sold in a handful of regions and is selling enough to take the top spot.

If you want to make a cheap Linux computer you either need a large scale deployment (like Valve) or be willing to lose money on the hardware because you've got additional income elsewhere (like Valve).

Quoting: BlackBloodRumTbh, I think we have enough "high end" Linux laptops at this point. What we need is some regular budget laptops that people who don't want to spend £1,000+ on a laptop can buy.Can't be done; or, at least, won't be done. The best you could get is "low end laptop for high end laptop prices" because the market size isn't there. Boutique manufacturers don't have the huge component orders, the well-polished production line, nor the extensive logistics network to drive down the costs that the big boys have. The profit to make the whole endeavour sustainable has to come from somewhere, and it's easier to get that as a smaller chunk of an expensive unit than adding a big chunk onto the price of a cheap unit. The cost of an OEM Windows licence is tiny per unit if you obey Microsoft's commandments.
The kind of laptop where someone just trying to find a cheap laptop can buy it. That way we could gain some more Linux users, since it could be cheaper than the Windows laptop thanks to the lack of the license fee.

Quote"Full Void is a 2D Cinematic Puzzle Platformer set in a dystopian future. A young teenager, scared and alone, must use all their skills to defeat a rogue AI that keeps mankind oppressed."Looks neat. Wishlisted.
