Creating a Steam account over 19 years ago so I could play Half-life 2 seemed like such an annoying thing, but Valve really has put so much effort into making the system work well for its customers and so many other game stores still haven't figured this out

Quoting: MamboThank you for the heads up, I had missed the message from itch.

OxenFree was included in the bundle for racial justice and equality back in 2020.

FYI, they're are over 800k people that donated to this bundle, I know the devs didn't see any of that money, but that's a lot of people that own this game

Quoting: eldarionI'm curious to see how good the new episode is. As for everything else, we already have it and better with gzdoom. It's basically another attempt to cash grab a few extra bucks.
you saw the part that this is free to existing owners?

Quoting: EhvisI guess Steam mode boots with the same user directory that is used for desktop mode. Might be better to separate those.
they had this set up in SteamOS 2, it made it annoying from what I remember

Security/robustness is usually opposite from convenience. But for a device like this, it map still be more important.
agreed, but Valve was marketing this as easy to do you want on it (not necessarily stick to the Steam ecosystem), so they probably stuck to the same account for that reason

I recently have had problems with corruption in my home directory (unrelated to the megapicker) that has caused my Steam Deck to become unbootable if I reboot it. Luckily I was able to fix it by getting to a command prompt by editing the boot menu and using fsck, but it's a process I wouldn't recommend for a novice Steam Deck user

Valve fixes up the new Riven from Cyan Worlds videos on Linux / Steam Deck
8 July 2024 at 10:33 pm UTC

Quoting: seanbutnotheardSomewhere, I still have a physical copy of Riven from a friend who lent it to me probably 25 years ago. I didn't realize this remake was being made... Maybe it's finally time to remove it from my backlog.
the original is playable through ScummVM btw

Haven't seen an official announcement yet, but I can now link my GOG account in Amazon Luna. Of course only 5 of my 215 games show up 😆 (I know the game devs need to opt-in)
