Thank fuck, I bought 3 back plates and while they are awesome, I will probably be buying 1 or 2 of these transparent cases.

The only gotcha I experienced was the Purple and Green one had a very subtle sharp edge where the Black and Purple line up.

It was enough to go back to the stock back-plate on that 1 Steam Deck. I could probably sand it down manually, but the point is -- I think the company would Q/A that issue away if they haven't already.

--

That back plate does get pretty freaking hot, it's not going to burn me, but almost feels like it sometime.

--

It may seem silly, but I would also be open to a casemod where it turns the device into a literally tablet and cuts off the wings, or a Clam-Shell like Nintendo 3DS.

I hope the modding community considers doing this at some point -- I would totally even 3D print a clam case.

I'm okay with this.

While not a perfect solution, it makes the desktop such a more pleasant experience for the user.

Also, through diversity there is strength -- its nice each distro has differing advantages and strengths to play to.

Never play to your weaknesses, always play to your strengths.

I'd love to see somebody make a MiniDVD ROM jetpack for the Deck and have players post pictures of them playing gamecube discs on Deck.

One that I've been playing lately is the Early Access Star Fox-style rail-shooter, Ex-Zodiac.

Fantastic news. I look forward to being able to do accurate color critical work on KDE.

It's a great time to be a professional using Linux in many aspects.

Most people don't upgrade their monitors very often.

And the GPU amount of power necessary to push 4k @ -- 60 hz / 60 FPS -- is surprisingly a lot. Especially when you factor in dips.

A FPS player is going to benefit from higher FPS as well if the refresh rate of their monitor is higher -- say 120hz - 170hz. The difference is HUGE vs 60hz or 30hz.

I don't remember the details but you needed specific HDMI or DP version to have the bandwidth to push anything above 4k @ 60hz -- it starts to get complicated. ( Fuck proprietary royaltee HDMI, DP is the clear FOSS winner )

-- the thing that makes this interesting to me is the compact size and that it uses less power in general, so that means less heat, a great daily use card.

So is this game supposed to be related to "Pharaoh + Cleopatra" ?

If so, that sounds pretty cool, I just wish the Trailer gave some indication as to the gameplay.

And there doesn't seem to be a Community Hub yet so it's really hard to tell what exactly this will be.

Edit: The best I can do is guess based on the tags?

Duke Nukem Forever is one example of a game where modders taking broad liberties would actually IMPROVE the game.

Netting only a 69% positivity on Steam

--

After poking around on YouTube trying to find the documentary which explains why Duke Nukem Forever got Duke totally wrong I stumbled into Serious Duke 3D

Seems like a rabbit hole worth exploring

I really like these kinds of posts and seeing Modders continue the spirit of memorable franchises which are nearly forgotten.

If it shapes up good, I would love to play.

I guess I should just be glad it's _ NOT _ a 501(c)3 -- where basically hostile takeovers are possible from within and the list of donors is literally the property of the IRS -- and once it gets in their hands who knows -- maybe it makes its way to Microsoft as they are a _ Military Contractor _

I'm not for all this "new age" "feel good" fad stuff -- tried & true is fine -- having a traditional job roles for income is just fine too with hierarchical structure. If you can pull off the "Valve Bee Hive" that's fine too -- just keep all the fad --isms out of my damn free software please.
