I'm daydreaming about steam planes now

Still no rivers, or water flowing in to empty spaces...

I love *all* the improvements. Some are amazing as hell. But..

SteamOS 3.6.9 Beta for Steam Deck curiously mentions the ASUS ROG Ally

Quoting: satorideponWell, if you think about it, this was not necessary for the Steam Deck at all.

It's *not* for the Steam Deck...

Quoting: satorideponSecondly, this is still useless without Steam Input officially supporting Ally since the extra keys are not recognised by the input configurator and you can only map them on standard Xbox layout instead of actually making them extra.

Exactly. Which is why they are being added.

And for the Ally X it won't be required since I wrote a driver to fix all this. I'm also trying to do the same for the Ally 1 but it's proving more troublesome than I want.

The Ally 1: the update just supports the key codes two buttons emit (which I introduced in a patch a while ago). The Ally is a funky device and two buttons near the screen are on a different HID endpoint to the gamepad itself and do can't be used unless accounted for - they emit keyboard key codes. For the Ally X the gamepad is setup different and I was able to merge these two endpoints to one input device.

No Man's Sky - Worlds Part I is out now and drastically transforms the planets

Ocean waves really transform planets with water bodies. Huge difference and planets with mostly water feel quite lonely.

But! It's a little strange to see huge waves that don't reach the shore.

Quoting: ExpandingManAt first I must admit I was a *little* disappointed with this game because I (completely unjustifiably) expected it to be a boomer shooter

Aside from loathing that term (Call them Doom-clones like we did in the 90's. Or "Doomer shooters" at least), I'm not sure what a F.E.A.R style shooter would be called..

Quoting: tfkWhat will become of xbox? Will they let it die?

Rumor has it that Xbox as a console will be abandoned with gamepass potentially coming to Playstation.

Other rumors say that the next Xbox will be more like a PC with full fledged windows

New rumour: XBox Copilot+ Console where everything is always on and listening.

This is why you dont use xbox

I don't use it because it's Microsoft. And fuck Microsoft - they've pretty much ruined computers.

Zero problems on 3 of my laptops with fedora 40 and the rpmfusion version or manual install. No issues with 555 beta either (which runs damned smooth).
