1 kg of 238Pu is not enough to cause an explosion of any kind, no worries. You'd need 10 times as that.Can’t wait to drop my Knurek concept Deck 2 and cause a nuclear meltdown. Neighbours will be delighted when I bung it into the garden.

Forget giving Jester and Take My Points awards, I'm getting all of those openings with the 200-300K Steam points that I have.
Worth mentioning there's a 10% discount on the Steam Deck's pricing at the moment. I wish that companies like Sony and Microsoft would do this during celebrations. Instead we get price gouged systems by only stocking game bundles with Game Pass Games or games that aren't generating much buzz. The price of a PS5 or XSX increased in the three years they've been out. Because of the GPU market being the way it is, and because of the current console generation being the way it is, I'd actually say the Steam Deck is probably the second best value in gaming right now behind the Xbox Series S.
Ah got it! thanks for the answer ^^It's marked as unsupported because save import from Zero doesn't work out of the box on Deck, due to the individual WINE prefixes it uses.
Everything else works perfectly.
I don't really agree with this decision, but it's not a huge deal since we have a (incredibly hacky) workaround in the next patch to enable native save import on the Deck.
Huh. I guess I understand why this could keep it from being Verified, but one would think that since the rest is ace, it could have been Playable with a note regarding the save import.It's marked as unsupported because save import from Zero doesn't work out of the box on Deck, due to the individual WINE prefixes it uses.

Just join the EU.Valve's lack of care for Norway is becoming a big annoyance for people here.
Norway is not a big country, but it's a rich country and despite that more and more people starts to struggle economical, people still have money left for entertainment.
Norway is big with PC gaming, Steam very popular and known here, everyone I know, even those who don't play video games at all knows about Steam.
But for whatever reason, Valve don't care. No Steam cards at retailers, no Valve Index, no Steam Decks, nothing.
I have friends who would buy an Index and a Deck in a heartbeat even if Valve increases the price just for Norway in order to sell it.
People just want Valve hardware, but nothing happens here.
I have students at my school that are actually getting kinda pissed at Valve for not saying anything about Norway. "Hi, fantomena (well, my actual name), heard anything about the Steam Deck yet"? Is something I actually here from some people here. They know I play PC games, so they ask me at times.
Cmon Valve, give us a sign.
I understand that Valve doesn't have the sort of infrastructure to distribute and support a device worldwide but they should really, really work on it. As successful as Steam Deck already is, it could have maybe sold twice as many units if it was available on more territories. Hopefully they'll be able to set up a better distribution network by the time Steam Deck 2 comes out.Valve's lack of care for Norway is becoming a big annoyance for people here.

I'd rarther not have some people in another country decide certain things for us.Just join the EU.![]()
But did they have the production capacity to manufacture twice as many units?As successful as Steam Deck already is, it could have maybe sold twice as many units if it was available on more territories.
It was the bottleneck up until a few months ago but I don't think it is anymore. As far as I know there are no queues so production now is more than enough to meet demand.But did they have the production capacity to manufacture twice as many units?
I was under the impression that the bottleneck was (and remains?) how many they can make, not how many they can sell.
Speaking selfishly as a Brit for a moment, Christ I bloody do right about nowI'd rarther not have some people in another country decide certain things for us.
So instead you're going for some Valve people in another country deciding certain things (like, to not carry Deck there) for you?I'd rarther not have some people in another country decide certain things for us.
Well the fact that we've never been part of the EU is different with Norway.Speaking selfishly as a Brit for a moment, Christ I bloody do right about now![]()
Norway is Europe's largest oil producer (only behind Russia) and the impact of this industry on emissions and overall climate change is very serious, so much so that Norway has had to improve its 2030 emission reduction targets to match those of the EU.Well the fact that we've never been part of the EU is different with Norway.
The EU skepticals, which are mostly on the left, is against EU due to fish, oil and climate politics to be super short.
They don't trust the EU with good climate politics. They also view the EU as a centric, neoliberal system with anti-progressive views.
Here is the youth organization "Norwegian youth against EU" website. As people can see, they have a big focus on racism and LGBTQ rights too.

Persona 5 Royal on Deck is magical. Hope you enjoy playing lots of awesome games on yours.Happy to announce it's been shipped and is getting here Monday!
I already own it on literally every other system it's available on, might as well buy it here too...Persona 5 Royal on Deck is magical. Hope you enjoy playing lots of awesome games on yours.
While this is obviously a bug that should be fixed, I want to note in this context that you can adjust brightness with "..." button + left stick up/down, for those who didn't know. I find that to be one of my most frequently used system shortcuts on the Deck.Ever since I put a new start up movie from the points shop on my deck it boots up with my screen being darker than it should be even though the brightness slider is still where I had it and adaptive brightness is still off. I have to move the slider one notch and then back to get it to pop back to the level it should be at.
You know what would be a good system shortcut to have on Deck?While this is obviously a bug that should be fixed, I want to note in this context that you can adjust brightness with "..." button + left stick up/down, for those who didn't know.

For sure! I think it's about our individual use cases, and the Deck is flexible enough to meet them allGlad you like it.
To be honest, with how open the Steam Deck is, it's actually a very good complimentary device to Xbox Series X|S and PS5. There are remote play apps for both consoles that allow you to stream your games via WiFi to your Deck, which means even if you still rock AAAs on console and go to Steam Deck for less demanding games, it can be a transformative experience for your traditional consoles.
One of my work colleagues has a Series S and a Steam Deck. He's new to PC gaming and still plays AAA games on his Xbox. But he downloads PC exclusives, the odd Sony exclusive and smaller games on Steam. He can stream his Series S to Deck for handheld games, and when he docks his Steam Deck to his TV he can double-tap the pairing button on his Xbox controller and it connects to his Deck via Bluetooth.
So he's basically got one controller, two systems, hooked up to a 1080p TV and has a great time with it! I kind of admire the simplicity of his setup, but I've got a 4K TV now so no chance of me going solo with my Deck. Maybe if a hypothetical Deck 2 supports eGPU over Thunderbolt/USB 4.0 or something...
And while we all have our preferences, Steam Deck has pretty much obliterated nearly every use-case I have for the Switch. Since I'm primarily a HTPC gamer, Deck has done what my Switch could never: one purchase, play on handheld at 40-60fps (where Switch is 30) or TV at 4K (where Switch is sometimes 1080p, mostly 900p). Heck, some of my games play at 4K 60fps on the Steam Deck, so I don't even need my PC powered on to play them at all!
I still have a Switch for the odd Nintendo game (the last one I played was the 3D Kirby game which was, admittedly, awesome) but it's been so good to just play my games on my PC.
Yeah, the download in sleep mode would be convenient, but at least there is an option to turn off the Deck after the download finishes, so you can plug that bad boy into the charger and leave things to download at night. As for the recorder, grab Decky plugin ASAP and you can find the recorder plugin in there. And while you're already fiddling with Decky marketplace, don't forget to download Vibrant Deck. It will make your screen look better.
- Some complaints I have pertain to things such as the inability to download things in sleep mode (I understand why this is, but it's a huge omission for my specific use case, and I hope they manage to patch it in somehow, albeit I am not sure if these AMD chips even support that; I know Intel dropped the functionality from their x86-64 chips a few years ago). Another one is the lack of built in video recording! Happy the screenshot tool is built in though.
Obviously estimates, but I think those numbers are good. It was never going to be a mass market device like the Switch, but it is most likely ahead of other handheld PCs by a huge margin. Maybe it can hit 4 to 5 million by the time the Deck 2 releases?Steam Deck will surpass 3 million units sold during 2023, according to new research from Omdia. The report, which focuses on the portable gaming PC from Valve Corporation, is the first sizing of the addressable market for the device and estimates that hardware sales during 2022 reached 1.6 million units, growing 14% to 1.9 million units in 2023.
It could be, lots of countries still can't buy it.It was never going to be a mass market device like the Switch
