And I don’t think any of those require these kind of advertising images. I suppose that’s why we don’t really see them anymore
I make things with computers. Preferably artsy things, but I also like to work on random scripts and pipelines. I like D&D & video games, but don’t always have time to play them. I like pet chicken. I watch soccer, especially NWSL & USWNT, as well as some WSL and whatever happens to be on.

Lol, it strikes me that I don’t even know how they advertise games outside of blogs these days?
Not sure about diving in… More like dipping their toes. I think it’s great that they’re making windows more usable on different types of devices. To be honest though, all of this sounds like Windows 8, especially the bit about limiting background processes. People were pissed about it then, but I guess maybe now they’ll like it if it makes gaming better (and really, it probably makes everything better. There are so many background processes on my PC, it’s ridiculous).
I’d like to see a Microsoft branded handheld. I’m curious if it would be Xbox or Surface branded…
Eh, my company got that same email from Unity about using personal licenses for production. A simple email reply of: “No, we’re not” did the trick. I wouldn’t get too worried about this.
You can turn on wake on LAN. Then to unlock it, use the button on the right with the 3 dots and choose the option to bring up the keyboard, so that you can enter your pin or password.
One issue is with video freezing. The sound will keep going, but the video is stuck and the only thing I can do is kill and restart the game.
The other issue is with my lock screen. It’s very hit or miss if I can unlock it from the deck, and sometimes it then picks the wrong monitor to display the game on. Since my 2nd monitor is vertical, that creates a mess of a vertical stream with the game half cut off, and half an empty desktop displaying.
Oblivion Remastered. Playing via Remote Play, which has given me a decent amount of issues, but when it’s working, it’s great. The game looks gorgeous and has been a ton of fun to play, although I’m having a surprisingly hard time finding side quests. I seem to remember there being more than one or two per town. But whatever, I can always go find a cave, be stealthy and snipe things.
Played the Solasta 2 demo, and still playing Dragon Age Inquisition
I have a silicone case on it, but only because my kids started using it. I also have a dock hooked up to the TV, but I never use it.
Outer Worlds (UE4?) plays well on Deck. I’m confident they’ll get Avowed running well eventually.
Definitely holding off for a while. Maybe by the time the first sale comes around they’ll have given the steam deck some love.
I played Veilguard before any of the other Dragon Age games. I did, however, start Dragon Age Origins after, and I just finished it. It’s obviously a much older game, but even disregarding the more primitive visuals and animations, I still think I like Veilguard better. One big change is that you can’t directly control your companions, which is a slight bummer, but combat overall is much more fun. The companions also have much richer stories than in Origins.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard for both. I didn’t think I would like it all that much. I don’t even remember why I bought it. But I ended up loving it so much 😍
I’ve done a bit of streaming from my PC to my deck, and I get occasional but noticeable stutter, which I don’t understand, because I can stream Xbox game pass perfectly. 🤔
Playing Dragon Age Veilguard. Just finished the first quest, and it’s a lot of fun so far.
Is there anyone who likes reading code more than writing it?
Pinball Spire https://store.steampowered.com/app/2601940/Pinball_Spire/
The demo is short, but it plays well on deck.
I like how the code adds a 0 at the start.
Back to playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Playing a rogue Grey Warden dwarf this run through, and I’m already loving the character.
I turned off the always on waypoints this time, which should probably be the default setting. It’s more fun to explore than to mindlessly follow the floating dot.
Looking forward to kicking some Venatori butts.
