I don’t have the impression that supporting xinput/directinput is a time consuming effort. Yeah extra buttons and trackpad wouldn’t work, so what? The community will make something long term for Linux/Windows I have no doubt, but this was an easily avoided L on good will PR.

Personally doesn’t matter much to me, I have 8bitdo controllers already. After owning Steam Deck for years now I really want the trackpads and gyro wherever possible.

I’m not sure what the initialism stands for

It’s explained here if anyone is curious for some reason:

I’ve put a disgusting amount of hours into Emberward. It’s Tower Defense but no mtx and has a really fun Tetris blocks gimmck to build lanes.

Yes it’s early access but it doesn’t matter, the game is nearly done anyways, also on sale currently. There’s good Steam Input profiles for the Deck. Dev is adding controller suppport for 1.0 but this doesn’t really matter on a Steam Deck.

I’ve been replaying Dragon Age Origins at work modded via Nexus Mods and running DAO-Modmanager via WINE under Steam’s compatdata prefix.

Oh I could flair I guess.

I run beta branch on OLED and no forgor passwords yet. I wonder why it’s so hit or miss with others.

Swapping between home Wi-Fi and mobile hotspot at work regularly.

That’d be sweet. I’d love to keep playing at work 😈

I agree with you, but that’s what I intended with saying long term.

Hopefully long term the next Steam Deck sells even better and we’ll see support like this more often. I know about Larian and Bloober’s recent native builds.

over two decades of development

Jeez that long? I remember testing out games and being excited to see Medal of Honor Rising Sun get in-game at 1-5 FPS. Can’t remember if that was on an Athlon XP 2500+ or Core 2 Duo Q6600. It was entirely out of curiosity since I had a Swap Magic modified PS2.

no per-game configurations, no automatic configurations

Those were dark days. Nobody used PCSX2 wiki because nobody (besides us nerds) thought to look for one or knew about it, so emulator reputation was worse than it could’ve been.

Still, it was very annoying having to reference the wiki every time I changed what game I was playing.

Is that enabled by default? Not on my Deck, maybe I turned it off a long time ago.

Windows/Linux comparison footage both used FSR2 though, I guess it’s the half rate shading?

They pointed out Cronos was blurry using Proton. Looking at the footage, the same was true of Balder’s Gate 3. What’s up with that? Just a matter of sharpening? The resolution does seem to be the same by looking at the aliasing.

I bought the OLED new (ouch!) and it’s heavily used…exclusively at work. It’s just one of those jobs with way too much idle time. Cabin fever will set in without hobbies. I read books a TON buut it’s in cycles. Gaming right now. South Park Stick of Truth finished this set and I’m starting Fractured But Whole tonight because it was $3.50 on Autumn sale. The combat is worse but I love it so far anyways.

The screws are also self tapping in case you didn’t know, can be destructive putting them back in without being careful lol. Good luck.

$140 is a steal, nice.

If it was reduced texture resolution that would be nice.

That’s useful enough to think it really should be incorporated into SteamOS.

I don’t think Trump grew up hearing The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
