Halflife 3 is going to be amazing you guys

Valve can't count to 3 though.

Expect after the Steam Deck 2 for its successors to be Steam Deck 2: Episode 1 and Steam Deck 2: Episode 2.

Just stay away from the knockoff Steam Deck: Kill the Freeman.

That was the Steam Deck 64GB: Kill the free space (with shader caches)

My Deck64 was turned into a 1tb before you could even buy them like that though. For anyone who had extra 2230s lying around and was going to use a screen protector anyways it was a no brainer.

I modified mine too but I tried to go the 512GB SD card route first and just install everything on that. Yeah still filled the internal storage. 1TB SSD is worth it. Now i just use the SD card for emudeck+roms.

Capcom had years of jokes on exactly that point with the Street Fighter series, but they eventually did release Street Fighter III.

EDIT: For those not familiar, here's the relevant portion of the series timeline:

  • Street Fighter

  • Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

  • Street Fighter II: Championship Edition

  • Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting

  • Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers

  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo

  • Street Fighter Alpha

  • Street Fighter: The Movie (the video game)

  • Street Fighter Alpha 2

  • X-Men vs. Street Fighter

  • Street Fighter EX

  • Street Fighter III: New Generation

To be fair to Capcom, they did release Ace Attorney 3 quickly and it was the peak of the franchise.

It would be free marketing if they went with that approach. I can already see the headlines: “Why the ‘Steam Deck 3’ is called the ‘Steam Deck: Episode 1’ and other 5 things with origins on the memeverse”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. I consider HL:Alex to be HL:3. It's that good.

But I still want another HL game.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is gonna be perfect.

(Actually, knowing those devs, it might.)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Their problem is they already made a perfect game. Now they have to do it again. Doing something perfectly once can be chance, doing it twice is massively more difficult.

I'd settle for an Alyx 2 at this point.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

No more Alyx after that though!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't wait for my great grandson to play it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Here you dropped this: "great "
