Their Twitter page also clarified literally the next day that it wasn’t a serious tweet, and they weren’t expecting the media to run with it like they did.

Even if they did delist it, though, I fully understand. They sold over 1 million copies in their first week or something? They would behave been overwhelmingly affected by this pay-per-install issue.
I found the intro to be really obtuse but dang if pushing through didn’t pay off. That game is great.
I’m hoping they do a Steam Controller 2.0 at some point that has the same inputs as the Steam Deck - two sticks, proper D-Pad, etc. In terms of compatibility, it can’t be beaten.
It’s been invite-only for a long while, so they can manage the userbase easier. I imagine that, plus the lack of support for visual content makes it challenging for engagement.
Can you ELI5 Deezer abd FunkWhale, and how they replace what Spotify is offering?
I have different expectations for different games. Generally I want the battery life around the 3 hour mark, though; if it can’t hit that, I don’t really want to play it on Deck.
I prioritize framerate over graphics 100% of the time. If a game hits 60FPS but I have to drop all the graphics settings to Low, that’s a W for me. For AAA stuff, I’ll do 30FPS if I don’t have to drop the resolution too much, and if that 30 is STABLE.
Don’t forget:
1.5. Spend a fair amount of time mocking the people you fired across interviews and social media, and suggesting their work/abilities have no value
He spent plenty of time on thr “Fuck around” path, and is unhappy where it leads.
Also I think the Meta stance is that Threads doesn’t have any former Twitter employees on staff, but who knows if that’s true.
I’ve been really impressed with Mastodon so far, and I hope more Twitter refugees join over time.
Most of the games I like to play on Deck have to target the 3-4 hours as my “Sweet Spot” so most of these will fall in there:
Dredge is billed as a cosmic horror fishing game, and it is super engaging, and works great with gamepad controls. I played through the entire thing on Steam Deck. I think I lowered some graphics settings to hit the sweet spot but it wasn’t any kind of extreme compromise due to the game’s low poly art style.
You’re a ninja who gets sent on an adventure to defeat the demons who attacked your village. There’s some gameplay and story twists I don’t want to spoil, but even outside of that it’s a fun game with good platforming, new abilities, and boss battles. And it’s got a great sense of humor
I don’t think I’ve played any that don’t offer at least 3+ hours. My go-to is Mario Kart 7, but pretty much anything in Citra is cool. My 3DS battery died out so I can only play tethered to the charger, so it’s nice to have an alternative - plus you can upscale them to 720p and play them in HD. Lots of fun!
I really dislike most roguelike games, to the point that I lose hype now when I hear a cool indie game is one. Hades is one of the handful of exceptions for me. Combat feels very fluid and responsive, the visuals are gorgeous, and it sips battery.
A lot of people say they like the story and characters, though I’m not really clicking with it. But I haven’t finished it yet so maybe I’m just not at the cool story stuff yet? Either way, I’m enjoying myself quite a bit.
Watch Bender’s Big Score. There’s some continuity. No spoilers.
So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?
Also, how do I verify that this fork isn’t malware wrapped in emulator code?
