My steam deck came in! I'll post pics whenever pics work on here again, but so far the steam deck has been pretty good ^_^

HEY ALL! It has been a while since I've visited this lovely little site. Since I've been away, I've become a catboy and gotten a Steam Deck. I'm back now and feel like talking games more often, so hello again!

Valve surprisingly updated #HalfLife on its 25th anniversary with Half-Life Uplink, 4 new maps, updated graphics, controller/Steam Deck support, UI scaling, restored content & Fixes. The OG version is now "the new BETA" version & its FREE for limited time! #Gaming #GamingNews

It has been a tremendous first month for FromSoftware and Bandai Namco with Elden Ring and within the mountain of notes that have passed, one of the most important is that the game reached 12 million copies sold in its third week of release. Elden Ring is already estimated to break records and has already surpassed Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro Shadow Die Twice and is on its way to surpassing Red Dead Redemption 2. Also, Namco Bandai has already released Update 1.03, although it may not sound impressive by number, it brings quite a few performance improvements to the game and an impressive rebalancing to an already impressive game. On the other hand, Valve did the same in parameterizing details of the Steam Deck software so that a portable Elden Ring experience is available to everyone, particularly the thickness of the improvements will be at the Proton level. Finally, without giving further details, FromSoftware assures that Elden Ring will be an intellectual property for its content outside the game, giving way to possible fiction books, television series or possibly movies, and the reality is that there is cloth to cut. https://www.fromsoftware.jp/ww/pressrelease_detail.html?tgt=20220316_eldenring_salesdata #ELDENRING #FromSoftware

In a new milestone for the Steam Deck, Valve has finally made official the necessary drivers to be able to install a version of Windows to it's portable gaming PC. For now, the user has to accept that if he wants to install Windows, the device wipes storage since dual-boot (multiple OS on one machine) is not ready at the Steam Deck bootloader level. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3131696199122435099 #Windows #Valve #SteamDeck

Hoping that drifting problem doesn't explode on the Steam Deck's analog sticks, iFixit confirmed to The Verge that their repair and replacement kits will be available starting this summer. Since last week it has been reported that some Steam Decks are not paying attention to the neutral position of levers, to which Valve responded with a patch that strengthens the precision to define the neutral position. No major complaints have been heard since the update so that is a respect for many. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/4/22962087/ifixit-steam-deck-replacement-parts-summer #SteamDeck #iFixit
