no I’m not going to do a full reset when everything works already. lol. ive been living with it and its fine.
the phone thing is neat but is a gimmick I can live without, to be honest. and looking at a reply or two, I’m not the only one who had jankyness trying it.
but thank you <3
exact same experience. it doesn’t work well, unfortunately.
i am not able to use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth controller at the same time with the steam deck.
the sound just constantly stutters. its been that way since I got the deck. so its been years now.
ok so I just tried it. it does work but it is kinda temperamental. and doesn’t work flawlessly.
the signal keeps getting interrupted and janky as bluetooth can kinda be odd when it comes to having more than one device connected to it at one time.
especially audio. so yes it technically works, but its not going to be super usable.
an appropriate place to shit talk and troll. was clarification needed?
Yeah I’m new and this would put me off, honestly.
kids must be terribly bored these days. someone ought to bring forums back so they have a playground to play in and troll each other on.
daww thats a shame.
complimentary shaders is what you want. they are lovely and they even come with potato PC options.
they also do reimagined (which is like normal minecraft but better) and they do Unbound which is updated water animations and smoother sky textures, etc.
they run great. i run them on my steam deck and they look beautiful.
this is sad =(. but I get it.
never even heard of this, tbh.
I’m SO EXCITED LETS GOOO
its true. the biggest terraria fans are the devs.
i love how terraria is the 7th best selling game ever and they are just chill with everyone.
i adore the dedication to fun. they just keep rollin.
ahhh I’m on mobile so I think its not going to be very doable.
thanks for letting me know.
doesnt seem to actually be a game.
eww. paywall. gross. here:
Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a huge success since it was launched last year
John Mulligan
The holding company for Belgian-controlled games studio Larian, which runs its revenue through its Dublin arm, posted a €249m pre-tax profit last year as the major success of its Baldur’s Gate 3 title supercharged its sales.
The company, which was founded by chief executive Swen Vincke in 1996, operates studios in cities including Dublin, Ghent, Warsaw and Quebec.
Mr Vincke owns virtually all of the ordinary shares in the holding company, but a unit of Chinese tech conglomerate Tencent – which owns major stakes in Fortnite owner Epic Games and other gaming ventures – also has a large chunk of preference shares in the firm.
The Tencent division, Tencent Cloud Europe, has been an investor in Larian for a number of years.
Accounts just filed for Larian Group Holdings in Ireland show that its revenue soared to €427m last year, from €22.7m in 2022.
The bumper profit it recorded last year compared with a €214,000 loss the holding company made the year before.
Its turnover and profits fluctuate over the lifetime of its games titles and their development.
Badur’s Gate 3, based on Dungeons and Dragons, has been the most successful of the company’s titles to date, selling around 15 million copies. It gave the holding company the financial muscle to pay a €28m dividend this year.
Launched last year, the title wasn’t initially expected to achieve the level of sales that it did.
The game had been in development for years and came to the market in August last year. It won numerous industry awards.
“We’re in the luxurious position now that we can pick our own destiny and our own path, which is really cool,” Mr Vincke told video game website IGN in September.
“So I hope we can sustain that,” he said, adding that he has two main goals for the studio. “Being able to make things we like to make and making sure that it’s sustainable so we can continue doing so.”

The intellectual property for Baldur’s Gate is owned by a company called Wizards of the Coast, which itself is owned by games company Hasbro.
Releasing full-year results for 2023 earlier this year, Hasbro said revenue at Wizards of the Coast rose 10pc in the year, driven by increased licensed digital gaming revenue from Baldur’s Gate 3 and another title by a different studio.
Baldur’s Gate 3 contributed $90m in revenue to the Hasbro unit for the year.
But Mr Vincke said last March that Larian would be ending its partnership with Wizards of the Coast, meaning that no new Baldur’s Gate game is in development, although the studio is working on other projects.
The success of Baldur’s Gate 3 has continued, however, meaning that Larian’s financial performance this year is also likely to be strong.
Larian’s publishing director, Michael Douse, said this week that the performance of the game this year has exceeded that of 2023. It has 20pc more active daily users this year than last, he said in a post on X.
“I am also happy to announce we have achieved one more sale in the Holy See, the Vatican, itself,” he added.
followed. hell yeah.
adorable crimes.
