Been having a blast with Make Way lately, it's a top down racer where you start each round by building new sections of the track and adding traps to it. It's really chaotic and fun, and supports up to 6 local or online players

I'm not sure, one proton db review mentions they can usually hit 40fps on high graphics, which sounds decent.

Clicking on the beta link should download a EmuDeck-beta.desktop file that can be run on the deck to install it. The download is working for me, but you might have to right click on the link and hit "save link as" if it doesn't download normally.

Communities organizing themselves into squads to handle criminals and undesirables is also how we ended up with the KKK. Also the kinds of people who volunteer for unpaid security work tend to be pretty conservative in my experience.

That's unfortunate.

Make sure you're logged in, it will always show out of stock if your logged out.

For additional context, handheld PCs in general were estimated to have 6 mil in total sales during that period, so the steam deck is 2/3s of the market.

Some additional quotes from the source material:

“I think it’s amazing,” AMD gaming marketing boss Frank Azor tells me, discussing IDC’s numbers for handheld gaming PCs. “This didn’t exist three years ago; we went from nothing, zero, to incremental category creation in the millions of units.”

But out of those 6 million shipments, the lion’s share have been the Steam Deck itself, according to IDC’s estimates. All of the 2022 shipments are the Steam Deck, and Ward tells me upwards of 50 percent of the 2023 shipments and 48 percent of the 2024 shipments are the Deck as well. Doing the math, Valve has now shipped upwards of 3.7 million Steam Decks and has quite possibly crossed 4 million by now.

With as few as 2 million Windows handhelds shipping in two years, it’s not a huge surprise that AMD and Intel aren’t spending big on more custom chips like the one that’s still working perfectly well for the Steam Deck — particularly if the rumors are true that early Windows handheld buyers returned their purchases at unusually high rates. (Anecdotally, I’ve seen lots of open-box stock of the Asus ROG Ally when I’ve looked at Best Buy online and in-person.)

Rock and roll and stone!

Ok so origin is apparently being killed off in two weeks, and they've already started killing the origin APIs

People with it installed already are able to get some games to work still, but functionality is now broken and the devs aren't going to try to fix it since origin is supposed to die soon anyways. So I'm not sure what the way to play origin game with friends is now.

TheWINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%'launch option is necessary, so we'll need to troubleshoot that. I'll look into it and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Just swap the buttons to match Nintendo layout, and then there's a toggle in the steam settings>controller to switch to Nintendo layout

Edit ok actually I guess that won't work, the b button specifically is special and can't be swapped looks like.

If you're not wanting to play real demanding games I would suggest the deck. It's cheaper, has much better warranty, better input options, etc.

I'd really only consider the Ally if you actually need the extra performance and aren't worried at all about the cost. if you do decide you want the Ally, I would recommend reading up on their recent warranty scandal stuff first.
