They’re a pretty small team, I think a lot of that text was just boilerplate. Here’s the specific privacy policy section:

4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION? In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

What are you talking about? Their privacy policy/etc seems pretty good by modern web standards, and they specifically say that the only case which might result in another company buying their user data is if it’s part of the entire company being purchased.

The slow response sucks, but usually they’re really good about replacing things like this.

There’s multiple print files, including the companion cube.

There is a decky plugin for it, called Decky-Framegen. It originally just enabled frame gen but now installs optiscaler.

There’s also a new plugin called Proton Launch that seems like it lets you toggle various proton/GEproton options, including optiscaler, FSR upgrades, various performance settings (DXVK async, low latency, etc), and more.

I don’t know of any VR specific games like that. You should play Tunic if you haven’t, because it’s clearly Zelda inspired and makes use of perspective breaking your vision of hidden items and paths. Only other games I kinda of know of that have mechanics like that are Fez and and Screenbound, but they’re both more platformer than Zelda-like.

I can imagine this just leading to Denuvo blocking linux platforms (if possible).

You mentioned seeing the mechanism pillow, they actually offer 3d print models for a lot of their connectors and mounts. There are several options for how you could use them, I’ve seen people do a long arm monitor mount that they can swing out over their bed and clip the deck to.

I think that list is just for games that will run on the Frame hardware directly, without a PC. Alyx is too beefy for that.

It shows 5 for me, but hopefully they’re going to be constantly adding more as their testing expands.

Yep, at least for right now that’s the deal. The Steam machine doesn’t use that much power, so I could imagine a solution that includes a new power cord that can power both at the same time.

Yeah, I thought the deck controls worked surprisingly well. I had tried playing with community control layout before there was an official control scheme, but that was much less intuitive.

Man I thought the Wii weather channel and stuff was so cool at the time.

I’m assuming you mean PS5 controllers, and yes they should work fine. I believe you can also use the controller’s gyro and touchpad area.

One weird issue is that while the controllers work normally wirelessly, I think it has to be plugged in to use some features like the adaptive triggers, for games that specifically support it.

Good, need two so I can race them.

Gamingonlinux and Steamdeckhq are the two sites I follow specifically for steam hardware news, and they’re both pretty good about providing source links and actual info.

Yeah I suck at it a lot. I have a friend who plays a lot, so I thought I could learn by playing with him. But he insists we need to play on harder difficulties so I don’t pick up bad habits, and it makes it nearly impossible for me to progress at all when I play with him.

Decky has multiple save sync plugins that will allow automatic save syncing between different devices. Many of them are just plugin versions of standard file syncing software, that will have a matching PC client.

You have to have both your PC and your deck awake at the same time for most of them to sync though, unless you add a middle point like Google drive that’s always available for sync.

I think two of the options were syncthing and ludensave, but there may be more options or I may be remembering those wrong.

I’ve been playing Granblue Fantasy Relink, and I’ve been really enjoying it. Big DLC for it releases this month, so I’m trying to get caught up to play with friends once the DLC comes out.

Great game, really fun on deck. There are some minor fps drops during character discussions in the town, but performance has been really good during gameplay. Combat system is really fun. There’s a big end game loop that’s similar to monster hunter, where you do boss fights to farm upgrades and materials.

I think redreader has official permission to use the API because it has a disability focus.
