  Playing Dragon Age Veilguard. Just finished the first quest, and it’s a lot of fun so far.

  I was thinking more of an open API of how the game interacts with multiplayer services, so that in theory anyone could setup a server, or server services. In practice I completely agree with you though. Nobody wants to do the whole “Oh wait, you’re on that server? I have an account with that other server” thing. Steam, or some other party, would just become the defacto place.

  Oh, it would be super fun if you’re into the game, as long as it doesn’t become a job, which it might.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could see this leading to standardizing and outsourcing multiplayer services, which would be interesting.

  That being said, before that happens, as a developer I’d be like: here’s a zip file with all of our proprietary stuff ripped out. Have fun spending the next few months getting it to work well. Congratulations, you’re now supporting a game that did poorly enough for us to drop it.

  But seriously, go sign it. Long term it should be a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What demos are you playing for this edition of Steam Next Fest?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pinball Spire store.steampowered.com/app/…/Pinball_Spire/

  The demo is short, but it plays well on deck.

  I mean, that’s what you get for buying the cheaper phone! Except I got the 7 Pro, and it feels like it was abandoned as soon as the 8 was announced. As soon as I read that I wasn’t getting functionality that was clearly cloud functionality, I realized that Google stopped giving 2 shits about existing users that don’t immediately upgrade to the latest phone. Also it sucked at making phone calls, so that was the last Pixel phone for me.

  Thanks!

  Sweet, thanks for the info

  I was going to get this, but then read that the new DRM made it unplayable on deck. Is that not true?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protective case or not?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use the travel case if I take it anywhere, but I haven’t seen any need for a protective case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(TRUTH) New year and reflection time for past 6 months⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably more than 50% on steam deck over the last 6 months, though overall I’ve slowed down quite a bit since getting it a year ago.

  The last major game I got was Endless Dungeon when that released (maybe in October?), and I did maybe 2 sessions on pc, then played the rest of the time on the deck. So it’s still my preferred platform.

  I got Jagged Alliance 3 over the holiday, and found it visually a bit too small on the deck, so I plan to play some on PC until I have a good handle on the game, then switch back to the deck. It’s kind of similar to Solasta, which I first played on pc, but now primarily play on Deck.
