What are your thoughts about games getting negative reviews because they're incompatible with steamdeck?
this would be my thought, if the game says Steam Deck verified and it doesn't play well then it deserves that negative review. A game just not working and doesn't claim to is a whole other thing.

I am afraid I can't do that, Dave
Unless you put in the steam launch option to pretend your PC is a steam deck. Then a lot of games will cooperate lol.

How often do you use your Steam Deck at home when you already have a gaming PC?
A lot, but I think the people that get the most use are husbands and dads. For example my wife likes to hang out upstairs and not feel so disconnected so we can talk still. Steam deck is great for this and progressing single player games.

ADHD impulse buying: what is one purchase that you DO NOT regret?
The steam deck, I got super fixated on it and bought one very impulsively and I use it almost daily. It’s also made gaming accessible for me again!

Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 are now out on Steam.
I just saw this and picked up all 3. Feel like these would be perfect on the steam deck

Thoughts on the Xbox Ally OS, compared to Steam OS?
Seems like they're also introducing a system similar to valves "steam deck verified" badges, as well as optimising windows for handhelds Interested in seeing what the future brings between Microsoft and Valve

I’ve won a new steam deck
For me personally steamOS was one of the selling points of the deck and I’ve never wanted for windows

Linux smashes past 5% on the Steam Survey for the first time
The SteamDeck made see that it is possible to run games perfectly fine on linux. It was the one thing that kept me on Windows. I made the switch with my desktop 3 weeks ago, I installed Nobara and haven't looked back since.
