Let's be honest, game of the year should've been Astro Bot.

Quoting: _wojtekI wonder... couldn't Valve just collect the stats without the "survey prompt" to get saner results?

No, because of regulations. You can't just collect a bunch of info about a user's machine and send it over without consent. The survey is not just about knowing which OS people game on. The survey is targetted at game developers, and devs want to know more than just what OS the user is running; they need to know OS, CPU, GPU, RAM, VRAM, controller, keyboard, language, screen size, resolution, aspect ratio, etc.

Why is it rated Unsupported on Steam then, is it just too heavy to run on the Deck?

The x86-to-ARM part is likely in preparation for the expected widespread adoption of ARM in laptops, but the Android translation is interesting. We may finally get the likes of Fortnite working on Linux with a click of a button!

Quoting: WorMzyThe fuck is an 'AI PC'?

It's a PC that can do AI inference, which is pretty much any PC or phone or TV or frickin frig in the world.

On a serious note, an AI PC generally refers to a PC with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit?), which is basically an accelerator for AI operations that can otherwise still be done in the CPU or the GPU, but at a slower speed and/or higher power consumption.

The concept of the dock makes no sense. This is a desktop console, not a handheld, so a separate model with that higher GPU would have made more sense. It's also not a good idea to start with multiple models in the first place; they should've just focused on one model that is powerful enough, close to the power of PS5 or surpassing it. If they did that it will be the proper Steam Machine people have been looking for.

Quoting: sarmadSpeaking of Black Myth: Wukong, can it run on Steam Deck? I assume that is way too demanding title for the Steam Deck to handle, but I just thought of asking anyway.

According to ProtonDB if you set the graphics to low, AA and post processing to high, and run at 640p with FSR you will get 40-50 fps on Steam Deck.

I saw a video of someone playing the game on Steam Deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB1NtSiEJ6E

Amazing. Never expected the Deck to be able to handle this.

Is the Mono project still needed now that .NET itself supports Linux?
