It’s been over a year now…should i throw out the box my Steam Deck came in ?

No…no I might still need it

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about doing something that brings you joy, like playing video games, no matter your age.

Seems some people are *still* confused: GamingOnLinux is officially one person, me, Liam.

This account is to attempt to be *social*, it's a social network after all. Mixed with the actual content I provide and sometimes others contribute on GamingOnLinux.

If you don't like me being social - why are you here? ? use RSS.

@killyourfm a bunch of your image uploads (like this) don't seem to be available on mastodon social? *confused*

So uh, I just got told to kill myself? What.

Are you a game dev working on a cool game? Drop a fun shot and link in the replies:

@thelinuxEXP @killyourfm the biggest problem is the Steam refund window, half of it eaten up by building shaders to even see if it works properly…

Shader building for The Last of Us on Steam Deck looks like it takes at least 1 hour on the main menu.

Ubuntu flavours to drop Flatpak by default and stick to Snaps https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/02/ubuntu-flavours-to-drop-flatpak-by-default-and-stick-to-snaps/ #Ubuntu #Flatpak #Linux

People on Twitter are using the shutting down of the mastodon.lol instance, to mean that Mastodon “is not a viable model”. Hard disagree.

A strength of Mastodon is that if one instance is shutting, you can easily move to another. It’s quite literally a strength of decentralised systems in action.

One day I hope Valve upgrade the Steam Curator system. It could be so much more useful. Even simple things like giving developers a message on *why* I rejected a copy of something, and letting them send again when solved for example - that would be nice.

Dear basically everyone: please stop telling me to "go to Discord for the full info". Especially you #GameDev, changelogs and important info shouldn't be hidden behind a chat room that requires a login.
