Had the opposite happen as it happened to me on mobile and not on desktop.

To resolve, scroll down to the absolute bottom. There you'll find a dropdown menu for selecting language.

Currently the only way I know of favoriting a magazine is via the excellent Kbin Subscriptions Panel userscript. The pen icon can be used to edit subscriptions and star magazines, after which they will appear at the top in the subscriptions panel. Quite handy!

Exactly my reasoning for holding off too.

Not much was lost. Both Gizmodo and Kotaku content have already been indistinguishable from poorly generated AI content for ages now.

You can start by boosting instead of using the arrow, which is actually currently only counting as favoriting and does nothing to counter any reduces on a post. It's an oversight that's being worked on and will eventually change, as I've understood it.

Definitely will be keeping my eye on this one.

• Shakedown: Hawaii - 80% off at 3,99€ - Think GTA for the 16-bit era.
• 2Dark - 90% off at 2,49€ - Think Alone in the Dark but top-down and in retro/voxel style, from the original creator of Alone in the Dark.
• UnderRail - 60% off at 5,67€ - Hidden or not, this one can't be recommended enough to fans of the original Fallout (1 & 2, isometric) games.
• Space Haven - 60% off at 8,79€ - In-depth colony/spaceship building & management sim with cozy graphics.
• Crystal Caves HD - 60% off at 2,63€ - A true testament to how to faithfully bring an old platformer into HD, while also innovating on the original. Also contains a lot of hidden gems.
• Supraland Complete Edition - 54% off at 15,71€ - First-Person-Metroidvania in a literal sandbox, lots of freedom, lots of puzzles and exploring. Contains the DLC. Get this to gear up for the eventual release of the sequel Supraworld. The standalone Supraland Six Inches Under is also worth getting, but is "only" at 45% off, which is still great.

Never played the first but would buy it in a heartbeat to play on the Steam Deck.

For what it's worth, the game works perfectly out of the box on Steam Deck via Proton, didn't even had to force compatibility to use any specific Proton version. So at least it does work, and you can see others being successful on protondb too as linked by @PeachMan.

Here's an example of what I think we'll be seeing more of: A user getting called out and named for frequently downvoting: https://kbin.social/m/wholesome/t/80838/To-the-one-guy-who-keeps-downvoting-m-wholesome-threads

Don't think this is the last we'll see of this, and I think it definitely has the potential to impact peoples participation in the long run, with people self-censoring themselves out of fear of being called out for voting wrong.

LibRedirect is a great way to access a wealth of sites like youtube, twitter, reddit, wikipedia, etc. via alternative privacy friendly frontends instead of directly.

While not an inherent guarantee of privacy, nothing really is, it makes the process of rotating randomly between these frontend instances for each visit a breeze, and easy to hop to a random new instance if the current one is down/not working as expected.

The only real issue I've stumbled upon were random crashes, which crashes the whole Steam Deck oddly enough. Since changing to Proton Experimental I have had such crashes maybe once or twice in ~20 hours, so I would say that mitigated it.

800x500 is a great resolution to play at, I find. Every text is perfectly readable and HUD is at a great size, in fact, it feels like it's made for Steam Deck. Also changing to 32-bit color mode is a good idea.

The most important part really is the controller layout. There are some great community ones out there, though I found myself customizing it a lot to fit my personal taste.

To be frank, I haven't played further than playing through Liberty Island on GOTY, and a bit further. Personally I opted for Revision instead, with vanilla map type, vanilla soundtrack, all HDTP models to false, New Vision disabled, and normal Revision gameplay style (which brings a lot of QoL stuff, bugfixes, but nothing I've found to be really intrusive).

Revision on Steam Deck, with the changes I mentioned, is very stable and faithful enough experience in my mind. The only problem I found was that all data vault images are still for the Revision maps, so they won't line up and will quickly become confusing. I ended up manually swapping the images, which was a painstaking endeavor I wouldn't wish on anyone, but it worked out in the end. Might end up uploading it somewhere at some point, but I should instead really just report it to the team and hope it gets fixed. My main reasoning for choosing Revision was honestly the achievements, it's a fun bonus and a ton of them still apply to vanilla maps. That, and the fact that it just feels like integrates seamlessly into Steam, being a mod with its own store page. And once I'm done with this, I'm very tempted to just jump back in and play through actual Revision with Lay D Denton.

Though if I started out now, I would probably seriously consider taking a look at Transcended or Deus Ex Randomizer with Zero Rando mode (just heard of the latter first here, so I'd have to look into it more before choosing). I'm not sure how smooth the process of getting that into GOTY on Steam Deck is, and I'd miss out on those achievements from Revision of course, but it could be well worth it still.

That all said, just playing GOTY straight out of the box works, with the few things in mind which I wrote about above. There's a myriad of bugs and stuff in GOTY that are just there, of course, but it's not related to Steam Deck and still play very well.
