  • Hot Tub may also need to pay an Apple fee at some point, but that will depend on number of downloads and revenue earned. The app is free, but there is a pro subscription available. Apple charges apps a Core Technology Fee (CTF) for each install after their first one million installs, but the fees don’t kick in right away for small developers.

    Don’t even know what to respond to this, looks like the only true way to distribute apps without Apple’s involvement is still jailbreaking, how ridiculous

    Before Wayland was a thing, Steam used a X11 extension to send Mouse and Keyboard presses, which means that for a while, if you used Wayland you couldn’t emulate KB+M with your controller at all.
    A while so long, that someone created a work around. Extest is a “adapter” that simulates the old X11 extension Steam was using and sends the keypresses using its own virtual input device, therefore completely bypassing the pop-ups.
    While that wasn’t its intended function, and it is technically unnecessary now that Steam has added support for the proper ‘Wayland way of doing things’, I can confirm it still works just fine. I use Steam input all the time with no annoying pop-ups.

    It can be a bit annoying to install however. If you’re using Arch, grab it from the AUR. Bazzite ships with it OOTB, I believe.



  • Never have I ever wanted “Portal 3” to be a thing more than after I played this.

    I don’t know how well it would play on the desktop, since it’s reliant on Steam Deck specific controls

    Valve actually made the game adapt itself to the hardware present.
    I played it on my desktop with a DualShock 4. The game let me use my mouse to write my name instead of touch. When it came to the section requiring the back buttons, it let me use the regular triggers instead. Looking at some YouTube videos, it seems it’ll let you use sticks for aiming if your controller doesn’t have gyro.
    The only hard requirement is a controller of some kind, as the game will put up a huge red watermark asking for one if you launch it without one connected, other than that, any standard controller works.
