Quoting: Purple Library GuySo if this thing is for Emus, does it have a point-and-peck interface?

But there's no harm in trying it. In the worst case, its setup won't work and you'll have to do the EmulationStation setup yourself (and at least the emulators will be installed already).
In the normal case, you'll save hours of annoying work.
It's also not that unusual. RetroPie is even more of a layer tower and I don't think people have many issues with it.

Quoting: brokkrTheoretically, sure.Quoting: TheSHEEEPQuoting: brokkrIs EmuDeck similar to RetroArch in that it's more of an interface and configuration tool to emulators than emulation software itself? And is there overlap with RetroArch or do they cover completely different targets?EmuDeck is basically "just" a bunch of scripts with a bit of UI to set up EmulationStation (which internally uses RetroArch and other emulators when "launching" a game) for you. So it's not an either/or thing.
It does all the annoying setup of config files, etc. according to your wishes in a very easy to use manner.
VERY useful and saves hours of time.
On the one hand, I did find RetroArch tedious to figure out, on the other hand... that's a jenga tower of layers (ED > ES > RA > emulator) that seems to beg for something to go wrong, no?

I do wonder what exactly they changed about the hotkeys, because I was perfectly happy with the ones in version 1.X.

Facepunch put out a fresh statement on Rust for Steam Deck / Linux

I'd be upset if there weren't dozens of other VERY similar (if not better, at least I liked 7 Days To Die a lot more) games that run perfectly fine on Linux.
SteamOS and Steam Deck on top for Linux in the Steam Hardware Survey

They should be pretty certain what kind of system & hardware is in those things
And once you log in using a Steam Deck, they get another +1 on their wall-mounted counter*.
*I don't actually know if they have a wall-mounted counter, but... wouldn't you if you were them?

Quoting: CorbenI don't know how they count the Steam Decks into this, my turn each year is August and though I had my Steam Deck by then, I didn't see a popup, neither in gaming mode nor in desktop mode. I guess they do it under the hood and you can't opt out?I don't think they need to ask anything for the Steam Decks.

With these, I always wish Valve would give out absolute numbers instead of percentages.
It's a bit like that "PC gaming is dead! Mobile is the future" nonsense that crops up every now and again - with PC gaming being in better shape than ever and with more games than ever.
Just because some share shrinks (or grows), doesn't mean there are actually less (or more) absolute users.
You only get this "very rough ballpark" number when Valve shares some actual user numbers once in a blue moon.

Various BioShock games get a 2K Launcher calling it a 'Quality of Life Update'

Minecraft
Most Paradox games
Xenonauts
I'm sure there are many more, but the condition for a game benefiting from a launcher is that it needs to provide some kind of service:
Mod / DLC management - not all games can do that in-game due to the technologies used and external mod managers are usually Windows only
Version management - Minecraft and Xenonauts did that. Pretty nice, especially since not all storefronts offer Steam's version management
News / Patch notes / etc. - Again, Steam provides that, but not all games are on Steam
And also, it should of course never get in the way like this 2K launcher does.

"Quality of life" update doesn't mean that the QoL will be improved. It will just be updated.

Quoting: ElectricPrismYou got it all wrong, "Quality of Life" in this future context means to improve the life of 2K Games, and not you the product.We might also be getting this all wrong.
