oh neat, the Steam Deck Dock is out. Not gonna buy one because it's 100€ and I already have an Anker dock that works great for my purposes, but it does come with an extra PSU and supports DP 1.4, which should enable the Deck to do Freesync on compatible displays

also nice selection of example devices that work wit it

been playing What Remains Of Edith Finch (via Epic, thanks to the Heroic Games Launcher) and the game certainly doesn't need high refresh rates but as a gamer, 30 Hz just feels bad

the Steam Deck's 40-60 Hz display mode is almost as good as true VFR, so many games run great at 40 fps while not quite reaching 60

yeah idk, the Pixel Watch seems cool, I'll probably get one as even my Pebble's replacement battery is on its way out. I'll definitely wait for reviews though

the room lights dimming for the presenter who's on via video is pretty slick #MadeByGoogle

with how much stuff has leaked I'm not expecting any suprises

time for Made By Google!

heck yeah

weird, the Steam version of Tomb Raider 1 runs fine on the Deck (though running Dosbox in Wine feels a bit silly) except the cutscenes? how can that be broken, surely the game comes with the video decoder?

I feel vindicated for staying on Stable, they already released at ton of really useful fixes and features

the Deck is surprisingly comfortable to game on, I played so long I managed to discharge it and charge it to 3/4 during the same session, now I'm on battery again

god, is this really so old that QTEs were still the height of gameplay?

well, y'know, I said I didn't have the patience for Shadow of Mordor… I just beat it

I'm a webdev I don't wanna wait for "a build"

I think whoever first took Javascript and said "this is good but what if it was a compiled language" ruined us all

oh, Twitter too, huh

oh right, Mastodon still doesn't really vibe with transparent images, sorry about that

fwiw the whole endeavour has brought us some nice logos

oh hey, Matter released on the 30th, here's hoping that it actually does what it promises to do. The Home Assistant people seem to be pretty hopeful about it
