Quote from Valve Hardware Warranty

In other words, simply changing SSD doesn't void warranty, but damaging the Steam Deck in the process of doing so does.

The title could be something descriptive like "The Beauty of Space", "Space is Beautiful", "Breathtaking Space Imagery", or just simply "Space".

Just as far fetched, yes.

For games that doesn't support Steam Cloud for saves etc., or in general moving files over to the Steam Deck from your PC, I highly recommend setting up Syncthing.

It's available on the Discover store in desktop mode and can be set up to run as a service to ensure that it's always running on Steam Deck, if you're so inclined. There's a myriad of guides out there if you search around, should you need help setting it up.

Not much was lost. Both Gizmodo and Kotaku content have already been indistinguishable from poorly generated AI content for ages now.

It's also worth taking a look at Fallout 4 VR for anyone that's into VR. Mods stealthily makes it into the best and most immersive experience yet, in my heavily biased opinion.

OVPN still seems to support port forwarding, though it's worth pointing out they were recently acquired by Pango.

The original Deus Ex is 86% off at 0,97€. Definitely worth it if you have yet to play this masterpiece! Just finished it myself on Steam Deck and worked like a charm.

• Shakedown: Hawaii - 80% off at 3,99€ - Think GTA for the 16-bit era.
• 2Dark - 90% off at 2,49€ - Think Alone in the Dark but top-down and in retro/voxel style, from the original creator of Alone in the Dark.
• UnderRail - 60% off at 5,67€ - Hidden or not, this one can't be recommended enough to fans of the original Fallout (1 & 2, isometric) games.
• Space Haven - 60% off at 8,79€ - In-depth colony/spaceship building & management sim with cozy graphics.
• Crystal Caves HD - 60% off at 2,63€ - A true testament to how to faithfully bring an old platformer into HD, while also innovating on the original. Also contains a lot of hidden gems.
• Supraland Complete Edition - 54% off at 15,71€ - First-Person-Metroidvania in a literal sandbox, lots of freedom, lots of puzzles and exploring. Contains the DLC. Get this to gear up for the eventual release of the sequel Supraworld. The standalone Supraland Six Inches Under is also worth getting, but is "only" at 45% off, which is still great.

Oh and the carrying/storage case it comes with seems to be different for the 512GB version. Not sure about the 256GB version though.

Does the eMMC version allow installing an NVMe drive?

Yes, the only hardware difference between the different version is really only the screen and the drive it comes with. You can technically buy the 64GB version and replace the screen with an anti-glare one at a later date, as it can be bought as a spare part for not much.

Personally I got the 64GB some time ago and am still happy enough with just an SD-card with good speed and decent size. I suspect that will change down the line, but right now I'm happy.

It's the second time it's been discounted so far. The first time was on March 23rd this year, on Steam Deck's first birthday.

I think so, yes. Made @DeusEx for this reason.

Anyone know if there is a consistent way to link to magazines/communities? !DeusEx@kbin.social seems to be something I see, but doesn't seem to work on kbin.

Edit: Neither does @DeusEx, strange. How about just DeusEx@kbin.social?

For what it's worth, the game works perfectly out of the box on Steam Deck via Proton, didn't even had to force compatibility to use any specific Proton version. So at least it does work, and you can see others being successful on protondb too as linked by @PeachMan.

If you still want to target reddit, without overtly giving traffic to reddit, I highly recommend one of the many LibReddit instances. And with something like LibRedirect you could still be doing !ddgr and click any reddit links, and always get redirected directly to an appropriate LibReddit instance.

Personally I am very happy with getting the ProCase with the flip cover. Now I can leave it around in more places without being as worried, as I've opted not to use a screen protector.

I was a bit worried first, having read about how the cover is a bit loose, but I found that this isn't much of an issue thus far. Once it's on there, I can tighten it a bit by pressing in on the hook or whatever, lift the magnetic part and pull on it to get a firmer grip. Also hear that the analogs could get pressed down on an earlier model, but the one I got hasn't had that issue at least.

The biggest problem I've had is that my SteelSeries dongle no longer fits as the case is in the way, so my next step is to try using a small extender just to get the dongle away from the case a bit.

Anyway, didn't see the ProCase Flip Cover in the list and would definitely recommend it.

It seems like a tricky thing to deal with technically due to how the Fediverse works, and I know far too little about ActivityPub to feel comfortable with coming with any ideas. I would however like to point out what I think we'll be seeing more of with this trajectory. Here's someone on kbin getting called out for downvoting and also explicitly named in a comment: https://kbin.social/m/wholesome/t/80838/To-the-one-guy-who-keeps-downvoting-m-wholesome-threads

Here's an example of what I think we'll be seeing more of: A user getting called out and named for frequently downvoting: https://kbin.social/m/wholesome/t/80838/To-the-one-guy-who-keeps-downvoting-m-wholesome-threads

Don't think this is the last we'll see of this, and I think it definitely has the potential to impact peoples participation in the long run, with people self-censoring themselves out of fear of being called out for voting wrong.
