I may have said this too many times now but just fuckin' shadow drop SteamOS 3 already, Valve.
I don't care if it's still "beta" software, I wanna try it out.

Every time they mention getting those friday emails I'm still nervous for some reason lol, like they somehow only made 100 units for NA in this first wave which would be hilarious, they would literally have to have made only 20 of each unit for me not to get one lol
Late spring for the dock, hmmm. Not sure if I should splurge on something else in the meantime or just wait.
I have $400 in GameStop credit I need to swap to Steam cards this week. Says Q1 2022 on mine so hopefully I get the notification this Friday as well.
In anticipation of my Steam Deck, I enjoyed looking at my compatible games from my library. There are like 50 games that will work perfectly, another 50 or so that will work with small limitations, about 25 that won't work at all, and 1300+ that have not been tested.
If nothing else, maybe I'll have some fun picking through the obscure stuff I picked up in Humble Bundles to test for compatibility.

Even if I don't get the day 1 Friday email, at least there will be endless previews/reviews/impressions to read and watch online.
I'm almost as excited for those than I am to get it myself, haha.
I'm pretty unlikely to be in this Friday's batch (I'm honestly fairly shocked I'm still Q1, got in at 13 min after) but that isn't going to stop me from frantically checking my email that day
That looks really great under daylight. I wonder which model's screen that is.
Those 20-25FPS Microsoft Flight Sim, though
The funniest thing about looking forward to receiving one particular email is when you receive ANY other email and groan in disappointment.
Most are verified. V is playable due to minor things. Looks like VI isn't tested yet but it just came out.
Steam Deck Deposit - Launch Day Details - Steam News
Hi all, Steam Deck launches in just two days! Thought we would send along some details for what you can expect on Friday, February 25th: Starting at 10am Pacific, we'll be sending emails out to the first batch of reservation holders via the address tied to their Steam account. Those folks will...
All of them are Verified with the exception of FFV, which is Playable due to requiring virtual keyboard to input.
They're all Platinum on ProtonDB with the exception of FFVI's, which is more recent and only has one comment which mentions everything is positive, so it should be good.
Regarding all of the "requires virtual keyboard" stuff. What's the problem with using the Steam virtual keyboard? I don't see how it would not give u a "console-like" experience.
It should be super sleek with the trackpads.
You don't even need to use the trackpads, there is a touchscreen.
Seems like the expectation is for the game itself to invoke the keyboard UI, not having the user manually bring it up.
Amazing.
I'm in Q1, and it looks like my favorite game will be playable by the time I get my unit :)
I legit wonder how close to PC's skill level you can get with gyro+touchpad.
Does that mean it's verified?
Yesssir !!!Looks like Valve added quick switch for primary controller, solving the issue and edited strings to clarify
it means (I think) they (respawn) created a new branch and testing eac and proton
That's good to see. I still hope they find a way to automatically switch the controller when docked.Looks like Valve added quick switch for primary controller, solving the issue and edited strings to clarify
I'm glad they got that update in, as I realized a couple of the games I would have wanted to play on the Deck are very stupid when it comes to handling controllers and basically grabbing whatever Xinput/Directinput device they find first (and the order Windows assigns controllers, especially Directinput devices is seemingly random). On normal PC setups Steam Input helps with that since you can force devices into specific XInput slots.. but then why was that an issue with the Steam Deck controls? (Well, I guess it's not an issue now, thankfully.)Looks like Valve added quick switch for primary controller, solving the issue and edited strings to clarify
This made me realize something else: since XInput has a four controller limit and it seems like the internal Steam Deck controls default to always being the first detected controller, does that mean that you couldn't have four external controllers for a game that supports four players via XInput devices? Or did they also add with this update the option to basically disable the Steam Deck controls (even if just by making it player 5 with four Xinput slots).
Seeing Apex get a proton test branch and having no word from bungie if they are even working on this makes me irate on bungie's part. Absolutely no clue why they aren't pushing for this, it would be perfect for the deck.
Honestly there's going to be so few Steamdecks in the wild near launch that they may have much higher development priorities.
FF1 - 4 are all Verified, FF5 is Playable due to having some functionality not accessible by default to the controller and for having to manually open a keyboard for text entry, FF6 hasn't been tested yet.
When you buy something on Steam I know it asks for your address but it might be the credit card billing address.
If you talk about this: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675180/view/3113680526234449023
They are talking about your email address.
Your actual shipping address you set once you are paying.
Gonna ask for it once you order.
The address they are referring to in the new blog post from earlier is the email related to your account.
Valve fixed the external controller issue wording, it's completely preventable

If anyone still had doubts about Elden Ring using Easy Anti Cheat, compare the checksums (between Elden Ring and Brawlhalla):
Not to mention they already have a Linux build, since they're on Stadia.
They are probably running without anti cheat on Stadia (for obvious reasons).

The game is playable on Deck (confirmed by Grubb). But I guess it could be a situation where offline works but online does not. At least, it is soloable though, which is all I want.
Either that, or preview builds sometimes also don't come with anti cheat enabled.
Grubb couldn't go into any detail IIRC, so he could be using Windows?
There are no Windows GPU drivers yet, I doubt it would be playable.
Totally possible, but he has the final game, not a preview build. I guess, they could activate it in the day 1 patch, but let's hope not.
Nah, as strudel mentioned, the GPU drivers for windows are not out yet. So, he would have to be playing it with CPU only, which is unlikely.
This is awesome news. Thanks for sharing it. I hadn't seen this video!
Right, but they've had to implement anti-cheat on other platforms, just like Apex. I figured having an established Linux build on top of that would make for an even lower bar to clear, but I'm not well versed with how anti-cheat is implemented, so I could be missing something.
