198X seems cool. I tend to play lots of older games on my deck too, mostly old DOS/Windows releases which can run with Wine/Proton or Dosbox for me.

Been playing a bit of Close Combat 3: The Russian Front. Picked it up from the summer sale and I’ve been wanting to try this series for as long as I’ve known about it (I think I read about CC2 in a gaming mag when it was new). Fun game but not the easiest to get running and nobody seems to be playing the games in this series with Deck of even a controller so I didn’t really find any controller mapping for it. WNot a huge issue since the game is fairly easy to control even with just a mouse.
I tend to play lots of strategy games and such that usually rely on the mouse quite a bit, the deck is such a great device for this use case.
What’s the maths for that 10%?
I dislike the huge cut Valve takes from all the indies but with everything they’ve done in recent years with the Deck and Index has still won me over.
Same as with IE in the past. A little better with most of the source being open but not much. I wonder how we could solve this issue since people obviously don’t care.
Interested in alternate keyboards too. I have constant issues with the Valve one not appearing etc. and I think it is pretty annoying to have it tied to the Steam process, maybe that makes more sense for the game mode but…
Same goes for the trackpad settings and bindings being dependent on Steam. For all the work Valve has done on upstream apps building this stuff just into steam seems like a pretty bad design.
Why surprisingly?
