Wired and wireless X-Box 360 controllers with the built-in kernel drivers, generally hassle-free these days!

Sounds like it — it was posted by The Elder Scrolls Online, not Valve. (Edit: Yes, of course this still means Proton.)
[Gaming On Linux has a write-up too](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/08/the-elder-scrolls-online-now-steam-deck-playable-to-be-fully-verified-in-a-future-update/).

I guess they just don’t want to bother with it any more?
As [reported by GamingOnLinux](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/07/dimhaven-enigmas-is-a-new-first-person-puzzler-from-the-team-behind-quern/), the folks behind the modern Myst-like Quern have a [native Linux demo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2458980/Dimhaven_Enigmas) out on Steam for an exploration-heavy first-person adventure game called Dimhaven Enigmas. There’s a [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zadbox/dimhaven-enigmas) with tons of additional information. In an age of native Linux support getting dropped or passed over I hope it goes well for them. And if you’re into that sort of thing, [Quern](https://store.steampowered.com/app/512790/Quern__Undying_Thoughts/) is currently 80% off. (Though it’s also 80% off if you’re not into that sort of thing)

Note that when the changelog mentions "Windows builds" or "Mac builds", they mean the *games*, not builds of Heroic itself… I think.

Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.
I do have a Sennheiser DT 990 Pro (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).

Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last "anchors" to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play games. But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t, or not well. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well. I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).

They are the same game in many ways, but Paradroid has a flat top-down view with smooth omni-directional scrolling and can quickly become FAST AND DEADLY on any of the more dangerous decks…

This Quazatron? I’ve always adored Quazatron in static screenshots in magazines. An isometric/3D-ish Paradroid?! <3! But I guess the Zedex was too alien to me to get around to it.

That could be sweet. Of course, they’ve already tried that, but SteamOS wasn’t really ready then.
And I suppose anyone can get a random mini PC and install Steam on it…
Text descriptions, neofetches, photos; it’s all fine!

As a non-owner of either handheld, I tentatively agree and would still rather get a Steam Deck.

Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print
statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)

Oddly enough I no longer have that issue since the update (although it seems to come and go, and be present in the beta but not the ““stable”” client or vice versa). Plasma/Kwin Wayland scaled to 200% on UHD.

Oxenfree and Hollow Knight are two of my favourite “current” games. Can’t wait for Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals to come out in a month or so…
Though Oblivion, Skyrim, and Borderlands 2 might be the ones with the most playtime.
Nethack variants like Unnethack, Slash’EM and Dynahack are a perennial favourite on any OS since Hack on MS-DOS in the 80s and Nethack on the Amiga in the 90s.

A bit like a cross between the social media and the insular web forum ages, plus added activism and federation. So… I guess yes. :)

By now I just expect it to work, unless it’s some drm-tastic ultrapopular multiplayer game. I don’t even check protondb any more…

Well, Steam uses its Wine fork, Proton, under the hood (for non-native games). Nice to hear it’s seamless (I’m too far into having customised everything to know what the out-of-the-box experience is like)!

Wine has come a long way! Though Linux-native gaming is not on AAA studios’ radar…

I haven’t announced it anywhere public yet (= our subreddit); I’m totally new to lemmy.

Good luck! I had a plussy growing up and enjoyed the faster disk drive, the advanced BASIC (compared to the VIC-20 and 64) and the machine code monitor/simple assembler it had built in. Nowadays there are quite a few good games too (homebrews and bootleg ports) but back then we mostly had to make do with C16 games (16K…).

No updates in a few years, I think, but maybe the ThED TED replacement chip is still going to happen? https://retrohax.net/the-thed-project-update-3/
