It seems like a fun little distraction. I’m not gonna spend any money on it though

I have a third party dock, but I’ve experienced a lot of the same issues you’ve mentioned. That said, the updates over the last year have improved things significantly for me.

When it comes to switching between gaming and desktop mode whilst docked I still have issues there. I usually disconnect the display whilst switching, just to be safe.

Thanks for this, but you might have to clarify for me. If I’m using a Steam Deck (and correct me if I’m wrong here), gaming mode doesn’t use the Steam Client, right? Gaming mode is more an ‘inbuilt feature’ of SteamOS?

I was wondering if game recording would now be included, as it makes reference to it here:

Fixed a problem where a Game Recording capture failing could cause subsequent captures to also fail

So is game recording now in stable?

Haha this is excellent! I do play on PS5, but I’m glad exclusives are becoming less of a thing (it was always annoying having certain games walled off to one console). I’m not quite sure why anyone would buy a PS5 Pro…

I guess there aren’t many older games because it’s a list of games that are available on current hardware. Those older games that do appear are there because they’ve been ported/emulated.

I’m not sure if it has Autumn/Fall vibes, but I’m tempted to get Slime Rancher 2. I guess it’s appropriate for harvest season, as you’re farming and harvesting slimes? Something about it (at least I got this impression from the first game) feels cosy and perfect to play while the days get colder.

Yesss Crosscode is incredible. The soundtrack, visuals, puzzles - just a great package overall and it has stuck with me fondly. Can’t wait for the dev’s next game.

Ahh right thanks for confirming. When I last moved to beta, none of the buttons would work and I could only use the touchscreen. I thought that was quite odd considering beta seemed to work fine for others. Any idea what could’ve caused that?

Is there a way to do a clean installation of the OS without wiping all your downloads? I’d be tempted to do this as I think compound updates over the last two years have caused a few issues (I’ve got the original steam deck)

Weird, it shows as a png for me 🤔

Me too! I’m glad the image is in a lossless format though

Out of coffee

Kinda meh. I’ve heard Ender Lilies is decent?

The next step is for Biden’s ear to be grafted into Trump, allowing Biden to take control of his body.

“Aaarghhh get out of my mind, Biden!”

Ah neat! The first Splitgate was fun and I put a fair few hours into it. It felt like it had been abandoned by the devs after a while though (and cross progression wasn’t possible, which put me off playing it after I got a Steam Deck). I’m interested to see what they do with a bigger budget.

Ahh thanks - It’s included within an existing Playstation subscription I have, so I can play it without any extra charge. If it’s short and fun like you say, I’ll definitely give it a go!

Is RE3 remake worth playing? I loved the remake of the second one.

Ah yes I knew about it, but I’m sure this will be useful to others! Unfortunately I was having trouble with the beta the other week - it caused my button inputs to not be recognised. Tried several things to fix before giving up and returning to stable - which worked flawlessly again. I don’t mind waiting until this feature reaches stable.

Looking forward to this coming to stable
