This looks superb, looking forward to this one

Mixing factory management, Tower Defense and RTS - Mindustry 7.0 is out now

I hadn't played for a while (still my most ever played game) and then this lands... I'll just take a little peek... BAM! I'm hooked again

I've played the first three sectors of the new campaign and it's great so far. Just one really annoying quibble though and that's the fog on the maps. You can't clear it with your own ship, you have to construct a unit to explore to clear the fog. Even then, if there's a land mass between you and the rest of the map, then you can't get to the fog. The only other option (early game anyway) is to use the radar. This uses power though and it's still a PITA!

Anyway, now I have to split my free time between Mindustry and Valheim

Quoting: 3zekielOn another note, I wish they would add VPN support in the base image, currently there are no clean ways to support VPNs, except remove the base image read-only protection, or using Distrobox. Hope this changes.

I added a VPN profile to the connections in desktop mode but I have to activate it every time. Even if I explicitly add it in the options for the WIFI connection, it doesn't get activated. Plus, it's a specific server, so limiting my options. I don't want to clutter the connections with a load of VPN profiles.

So, yes, we need something better that'll work automatically, in desktop and deck mode.

How can the "Virtual Keyboard ... perform paste operations" if there's no CTRL key/option?

What about adding an option for Steam Deck ownership and which version?

Valheim gets an important bug-fix for Linux players

I'm glad I was never bitten by the deletion bug, it would be heartbreaking to lose so much time spent building and progressing. Not that it would have bitten me as I backup daily

p.s. I'm coming up to 600 hours in Valheim and still loving it.

A lot of people were clearly waiting on the official Steam Deck Docking Station

I'm getting the Valve dock as well. Seems worth the extra for the "extra" and to support them.

Edit: ordered

There's now a dedicated website for Steam Deck boot videos

Love the Futurama vid! May actually make the effort for that one.

Great to see the ecosystem around the Deck taking off *thumbsup*

Personally I don't like the over saturation but it's great there's the option for those that do. For instance, I took a while tinkering, de-saturating my TV picture to try and get it natural looking. Even the "natural" default was way too colourful!

Dome Keeper is a nice twist on base / tower defense

I love a bit of tower defence. This looks a good choice for my Deck.
