Return to Monkey Island gets an official Native Linux version
25 October 2022 at 10:13 pm UTC

Quoting: WorMzy\o/

I just replayed The Secret of Monkey Island. I had hoped to replay the whole series before this dropped, but time got away from me.

In any case. Bought.

I got part way through Curse and ran out of time, too

No, if you looked at the post I linked to (you need to scroll a little bit), I just used the option -force-vulkan

Just to clarify, the Steam Deck uses the Windows version by default, but there is a Linux version. I also noticed that the Linux version uses OpenGL, which causes some texture issues for me on my other systems, forcing the game to use Vulkan fixes that.

Quoting: MohandevirIt would be really nice of them to "turn on" the standard bluetooth pairing for the Stadia controller, so we may use it elsewhere, wireless... It could make a fantastic AndroidTV controller for GeForce Now...
Yeah, they've mentioned in an faq I think somewhere that they'd eventually unlock it, hopefully they'll follow up on this if we mention to them enough.

EDIT - Adding a link to the support page mentioning they might eventually implement full Bluetooth support: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9338851?hl=en

I was wondering why The Last Campfire was "unsupported", it was working fine on my Deck, I played it through to completion (from a previous save). Guess I know now!

Steam Deck was the Steam top seller for the week ending April 17

What's nice about those of us that bought Steam Machines back in the day, they've greatly benefited from all of Valve's work on Proton. Now if they could just properly migrate the Deck UI, we'd be set. I bought my Alienware Steam Machine r2 a little over 5 years ago, did some minor upgrades and it works better than ever now that I can play even more of my library.

Chrome on Steam Deck now supports the Deck Controller, with GeForce NOW working
31 March 2022 at 10:17 pm UTC

When I first started using this with GFN, I was having trouble disabling Family View with the virtual keyboard in a GFN steam session (text would pass through, but the dialog said I entered the wrong PIN), I eventually had to bind a grip button to enter the PIN for me. It might be fixed by now though

Quoting: sofakngWhy does the command-line use a window size of 1024x640 instead of 1280x800 (ie. native screen resolution) ?
my guess is for text legibility, but Valve set that up, so you should ask them maybe (they scale it by 1.25 as well, 1024*1.25=1280)

Quoting: MohandevirIs it possible to install the GFN Chrome shortcut? How is it handled by the Steam Deck?

Edit: Meaning, if it was possible, I would have GFN and Stadia dedicated shortcuts (download browser app) directly in my Steam library. I would probably have a Deezer shortcut too... Is it possible?

Yes! Just add a new non-steam game to your library, select Google Chrome from the list like normal (this creates a second Chrome shortcut in Steam). Follow Liam's instructions then rename the shortcut and you're golden! The nice advantage to this is you can keep the original Chrome shortcut pristine.

I've been using this with GFN for about a week, it works great
