Infinity Nikki has now launched on Steam to suck away more of your time. It works on Steam Deck with Proton but the anti-cheat is blocking it working on Desktop Linux.

That's my guess, that they're looking for a specific hardware identification and the OLED was overlooked.
I just recently bought a dryer. When I first got my printer, I was printing pretty constantly and didn't really have an issue with wet filament. But these days I've slowed down my printing frequency a lot, and I've definitely noticed that the print quality gets worse the longer I've had the roll unsealed.
Infinity Nikki on Steam works on Steam Deck LCD, but not OLED Deck or Desktop Linux
Infinity Nikki has now launched on Steam to suck away more of your time. It works on Steam Deck with Proton but the anti-cheat is blocking it working on Desktop Linux.
The game has ACE anti-cheat that blocks it from running on desktop. They've made an exception for steam deck to let the game run, but it seems like it only works with the LCD deck. A very odd situation
TDP limits can sometimes give you increased battery life with no change in game quality. However if you ever notice the game freezing or stuttering, make sure to disable TDP limit and see if that fixes it.
I've heard that using BTRFS with compression on a microSD and other slow access storage can actually speed up load times, because the biggest bottleneck is the read/write speed.
You can use this tool to convert the deck.
The only downside I know of is that if your SteamOS install becomes corrupted (though a bug or from you messing something up), the Steam OS recovery drives won't be able to fix it without wiping all your internal data. In comparison, with the original ext4 there's a recovery option to only repair steamOS and leave your data intact.
This isn't as bad as it sounds, you can still manually backup any of your important data before wiping and restoring the drive (you can access the BTRFS system from the recovery drive, and copy anything important onto a microSD or other storage device), but it's definitely less convenient.
It has split screen, so we play docked on a TV.
It does have online play too though, there's a free friend's pass that you can use for two people to play online with one copy. However even in online play you'll be playing split screen, because it's often important to be able to see the other player's screen.
I haven't bought the game yet, but I've been told this guy's setting list on ProtonDB is supposed to help a lot.
Also apparently changing graphics options on the game leads often leads to bad performance issues for that session. After changing settings, if it seems like the game is running worse, you will likely need to restart the game to see how well it will actually run with the new settings.
I'm pretty interested in Spellrogue. Dice and deck builders go really well together, Slice & Dice and Dicey Dungeons are both 10/10 and very satisfying to play. I've heard good things about Spellrogue while it was in early access, so I'm hoping it will be another great option.
Best Buy have recently increased the price they're listing for the two upcoming Lenovo - Legion Go S models with Valve's SteamOS. They seem to have taken down pre-orders too, with it now just being listed as Coming Soon.
- AMD Ryzen Z2 Go edition is now $599.99 before it was $549.99.
- AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme edition is now $829.99 before it was $749.99.
Originally, Lenovo said they expected it to launch for $499.99 for the Z2 Go edition — $100 is quite a big bump now from their original plan.
How recently was it added to your GoG library? It's not uncommon for new games to not show up for awhile if GoG is having any server issues.
If the game isn't a recent addition to your library, and relogging into GoG doesn't fix it, you might try Junk Store and see if it shows the game.
Cool, thanks for sharing. I was wondering how you switched the arcade controls without swapping cables, unfortunate to hear it's a pain. I've been wanting to do a virtual pinball build for awhile now, and I really like the idea of having the device be useable without my deck docked to it. I'll probably see if I can figure out a good way to swap devices, maybe try using a usb switch and hdmi switch to swap inputs/display.
No reason to be a dick. You could have rephrased most of this and had it be a beneficial suggestion, but instead it just comes across as you being mean. Looking over you comment history, it looks like most of your comments are that way. You almost are never helpful, just lashing out at people for doing something wrong or asking for help instead of figuring things out themselves. No one is going to take advice from you like this, you're just pissing people off and wasting your own time in the process.
Oh that's super cool. I see you have a raspberry pi inside, do you use that just for retro games, and then swap over to a docked Steam Deck for more demanding games? How do you handle swapping?
I've been typing a lot of phone notes and taking a lot of screenshots.
I wish there was a good way to edit my steam notes for a game from the steam mobile app.
Yes, that's right.
What I was mostly referring to was
posts bumped threads to the top
The controversial threads get more posts, so usually they get bumped to the top over and over until the hit the post cap. Being on top also attracts more posts, but seemingly the easiest way to get a newly created thread to succeed and attract posts is by posting something controversial first.
For example if I wanted to talk about Morrowind, and I think that overall most users there like Morrowind, I'd be more likely to have a successful thread/discussion by making a first post that was something like "I can't believe I fell for the meme that this was actually a good game". I'll get more intial responses of people disagreeing with me, and that will help the thread get started. After that the discussion can move on to other things about the game.
There used to be a dozen sites like 4chan. I don't know if any of them are still around, but I'm willing to bet that if 4chan doesn't come back there will be a new website that takes its place.
4chan is a pretty unique experience. Most of the internet is forming into echo chambers, where having a different opinion than the "correct" opinion for that community will get you downvoted or banned. My understanding with 4chan is that post popularity is determined by replies, and frequently controversial opinions/etc get the most replies. So posting stuff that most people will agree will result in a less popular thread than posting something controversial, offensive, or wrong.
I think this leads to a lot of the negative things you've heard about 4chan, but encouraging disagreements between its members keeps it from becoming a full echo chamber like a lot of social media. They still have some dominant community opinions, but those opinions can't really smother all the other opinions like on most sites.
To be clear, 4chan is a cesspool. But for all it's flaws it does offer something unique that's largely missing on other websites.
Just to make sure I understand, you're saying there's a difference between the zen console versions of the table and the fx3 pinball version?
Hope you enjoy it! Fantical has it for about $5 off if you want a bit of a discount.
The experience did steadily grow on me the more I played, so don't expect to be blown away on your first couple tries.
SteamDeckHQ did a first impressions, and they're getting a pretty consistent 30fps (higher fps possible inside, but outside can't go much higher than 30. They mentioned a few fps dips near crowds but that's it.
It sounds like you've got a bad setting somewhere or something else going on, assuming their account is accurate.
For safety sake I'm going to wait to read the second half of your comment until I understand what the ::: spoiler Spoiler angels ::: are for.
As for the wrench, every time I've gotten it, it was ::: spoiler Spoiler in the outside tool shed. :::

I would like to recommend Blue Prince to anyone who likes puzzle games
Welcome to Mt. Holly, where every dawn unveils a new mystery. Navigate through shifting corridors and ever-changing chambers in this genre-defying strategy puzzle adventure. But will your unpredictable path lead you to the rumored Room 46?
It's fantastic and runs great on the Deck. I kept hearing people talking about how great and unique it was, and I'm really glad I jumped on it when I did.
The game is unique and doesn't really compare directly to any other games I know of. The core game play is kinda similar to a board game, you're building a house layout by choosing between randomly chosen room tiles. In-between adding rooms, you're exploring the house in first person, and solving puzzles on the way. There's also a resource management system, where you sometimes need a keys and other resorces to progress into new rooms. At the end of the day the mansion resets and you start over.
Overall the game is an interesting mix of board games, rogue-likes, puzzles, resource management, knowledge-gated progression, permanent puzzle progression, and environmental story tellings. That's a lot of things, but they work well together and I'm just getting more and more invested in fully exploring this game.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered revealed, it's out now and Steam Deck Verified
Bethesda Softworks today officially revealed and launched The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, after days of leaks. And from what they've revealed, I'm very excited to give it a go. It's even Steam Deck Verified right from the get-go.
It is a UE5 game, so don't expect it to run great. But it's verified and the minimum specs requirements are in line with other high end titles that run acceptably on the deck.
Edit: performance first impressions from SteamDeckHQ. Sounds like it runs and a pretty consistent 30fps, with some small dips outside near large groups of people. Reviewer was using XESS upscaling on performance.
With help from the Steam Deck, this 3D-printed virtual pinball machine is one of the most impressive mods we've ever seen.
Hogwarts Legacy Adds FSR 3 and XeSS 2 With Mod Fixes in New Update
Hogwarts Legacy got a new update that brought with it FSR 3 and XeSS 2 upscaling, as well as a bunch of mod fixes on Steam Deck.
The updated AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor is based on the APU in the Steam Deck and uses RDNA2 architecture, according to a reliable leaker.
This shouldn't be for a steam deck 2, but rather some other handheld.
My (uninformed speculation) is this will likely be for another steamOS device made by some other hardware vendor. It will probably have similar performance to the deck, but with minor upgrades like more RAM/VRAM.
More powerful handheld chips exist, but the steam Deck's APU is very power efficient compared to the alternatives, so I think there's value in companies using an upgraded version of it over the alternatives.
We Can Now Easily Play Minecraft Splitscreen On The Steam Deck Thanks to a New Script
Someone created a script to automatically set up Minecraft for splitscreen play on the Steam Deck!
It's using PolyMC to launch multiple instances (depending on how many connected controllers there are) and automatically tile them. I would personally suggest using an optimized minecraft build like Fabulously Optimized to minimize any performance hit from having that many players.
V Rising 1.1 - Invaders of Oakveil will bring lots of new content and official Steam Deck support
V Rising 1.1 - Invaders of Oakveil is set to release on April 28th and it's going to bring much improved and official support for the Steam Deck.
Schedule I is high up on my wishlist to eventually play-through, thankfully being in Early Access I've got plenty of time to get to it and it's only going to get better with full Steam Deck support planned.

We Can Now Get Steam Deck Buttons Made Out Of Stone
We can now buy Steam Deck buttons that are made of stone, thanks to manufacturer Deck Buttons!
The same website makes metal buttons, resin buttons with real bugs inside, and more. Overall it's not really anything I'm personally interested, but I love that the deck has enough support, and is tinker friendly enough, that stuff like this is even an option.

Steam Deck OLED 1TB Certified Refurbished back in stock in the US
Steam Deck™ is the most powerful, full-featured gaming handheld in the world.
If you want one is suggest acting fast, they typically sell out quickly.
With the Linux kernel 6.14 out now, I noted in my quick-look overview about a bug that was fixed for the Steam Deck OLED model. Collabora have given a little more info on their work for this issue and how it was a challenge.
This is a nice look behind the scenes of the work and companies that go into fixing a bug like this.
