Quoting: s01itudePlayers should know that they will need to enjoy platforming as well to enjoy this game though!

The store page literally has the three last elements Liam wrote in this article, under a big banner saying "platforming".

Any player who buys this without expecting platforming only has themselves to blame.

Quoting: Mountain ManClassic virtue signaling.

Usually I would agree, but in this case doing "something" is almost required.
This is not just the usual "we stand for diversity! *implements gender toggle without any effect to get headlines written about how great allies they are*" identity politics garbage, but a problem that is actually real.

In the current situation, releasing anything Russia themed, even as innocuous as a truck sim DLC, will be putting a very big elephant in the room.
And elephants in the room are always better off addressed and dealt with.

If this particular course of action, stopping the DLC entirely, is the best course of action is a different debate.
I agree with the notion that they should've released the DLC and given the profits to some Ukraine-themed charity, at least assuming it was almost done anyway.

On the other hand, you have real people working on this.
If I currently had to work on a product that basically made me create a model of Russia in some form or another, I would not feel good about it, either, not in the slightest. This might have been a decision meant in favor of the devs themselves more than a PR one.
Russia is a do-not-touch topic right now, and will remain so for many years to come. Tragic in all regards, but it is what it is.

I've been using this as a combined EGS and GOG client and must say it works really well.

It's especially the "run executable on prefix" functionality that has turned out to be incredibly handy (e.g. to install some fan patches or mods) and was lacking or much more cumbersome to use in other clients.

It is definitely a pretty great piece of software.
Been using it for the last two of my keyboards.

Quoting: devlandNever in day to day use would you put a cutter to it and start hacking away.

That's not how hacking works?!



... on a more serious note, I've got to agree with those questioning the point of the video.
Some of these "tests" go way beyond strong usage/dropping/scratching testing. Might as well have gone for a "Will it Blend?"
Seems a bit tone deaf to waste a unit apparently so many people are waiting for.

Quoting: TrainDoc

Quoting: TheRiddickThis thing taking way to long to come to Australia, wonder what the Steam Deck 2 will be like. Maybe a 7000 series APU? or perhaps they will get a custom RDNA3 job done.

I want to temper your expectations. Just because Gabe said he's interested in a second model...

Doesn't mean we'll ever see one and my expectation is that we will likely not see one. You can hold me to that.

I'm definitely expecting a second one. At some point.

A third one, however, given Valve's inability to count to three...

Pretty interesting and different perspective.

Quoting: LNX

QuoteThanks though to Proton

for killing native linux games development

Others have already shown how that narrative is easily proven false.

Either way, even if it was:
Why care?
Can you play the game at a good performance while using a superior OS? Yes/no. That's what matters.
What bytecode an executable has under the hood is about as relevant as the color of your PC case.

If a dev decides to support Proton vs support a native executable doesn't matter, either, as long as one of those options happen.
For a lot of devs, the first option is vastly more feasible, though (due to their lack of Linux dev knowledge).

Still waiting for the last part of the story to come out to start playing

Quoting: tamodoloFedora 36 is the first Linux release that actually solves input delay to be on pair with windows. They did this unintentionaly as it was an issue related to touchpads. I am extremely happy by this fix as FINALY FINALY Linux is starting to move forward instead of just doing sidesteps and go anywhere.

Sounds more like a bug to me that you had there.
I've been gaming on Linux since years, including very fast-paced games (FPS) on both Ubuntu- & Arch-based distros and I've yet to notice any input lag (excluding lag that is caused by the CPU being overburdened).
