    Right, the profile stuff is 256 and 512, the etched glass, that one particular keyboard skin and the marginally fancier case are 512 only.

    64 still an absurd bargain, though - microSD works super well on the Deck for expanding storage, and a full SSD swap is apparently not too hard (many successes on Reddit, but also a few bricked Decks, so be forewarned).

    Yeah I was showing my Deck to a friend last night and he was like, "Oh you want to show off!" and, well, yes, but also, the 64GB is totally attainable for folks wanting to be a PC gamer but can't afford the ridiculous costs of a decent rig.

    The thing that gave me pause on getting the 64GB version is that over time I worry about operating system bloat. While not making the comparison exactly the same, there have been a ton of low end 64GB Windows 10 and 11 devices over the years and the limited storage affected things like OS updates and the like.

    You're definitely not barking up the wrong tree.

    That doesn't really happen on Linux.

    However....

    Valve has a very nasty track record when it comes to resource management. They basically vacated the console space because they were so fucking bad at it.

    I could totally see there being a bunch of steam client updates that somehow steal more and more space away on a Deck.

    DBD Anniversary show main things recap
    RPD rework coming

    Massive perk rework coming targeting nerfs to meta perks, but not specified how

    Mori offerings being removed. Will automatically mori when you down the last survivor in a match.

    Prestige system being totally reworked. No longer removes add-ons/perks. Automatically unlocks killer/survivor's perks on everybody for prestige 1-3 at level 1-3. Additional prestige levels will be available, but no word yet on rewards for doing so. Probably coming fall.

    Will be able to save loadouts for perks/cosmetics.

    Archive rework coming. Only thing elaborated on so far is being able to have both a killer and a survivor challenge active.

    Bots for custom matches (ie will be able to practice killer/test perks solo), but not expected until winter.

    Attack on Titan crossover (cosmetics only). LOL Eren -> Dwight. Zarina getting one too. Oni getting a Titan skin.

    New killer/survivor/map stuff
    Exactly what the leaks were. Dredge and Haddie in rural not-Haddonfield.

    Dredge is getting a super creepy Legion-esque mass-of-dolls skin.

    The prestige thing is pretty huge. QoL stuff is good too. They were super cagey about how they were going to be messing with the stale meta stuff, except that "we don't like that there's a stale meta," so I feel like that's going to be... contentious. Not a huge fan of the mori rework since it messes with slugging someone and then carrying them to the hatch or escape, but... whatever. It also lessens trolling (waiting for the last to bleed out). The AoT is fairly expected since DBD is really popular in Japan, and I assume more anime/manga crossover stuff is coming. Like, shit, look at IdentityV's shit (NetEase also runs DBD's mobile version).

    E:
    Anniversary event itself (June 6)
    Reskins of killer shack/exit gates in addition to hooks and gens.

    Envelopes (like Lunar) instead of crown thing.

    Unique masquerade masks for a smaller subset of characters.

    Event tome.

    Shrine of Secrets discounted and daily.

    Weekend bloodhunts (boosted BP).

    Login bonuses.

    Aaaaand also... uh... this.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzsuUDPYF3I

    E2:

    Also, other leak stuff was also true. At least partially.
    Another Resident Evil chapter coming. Leaks said survivors/killer were:
    Ada and Rebecca, with Wesker as killer
    But only confirmed was more RE DLC.

    If it helps to know:

    I have used an SD card for all my installs so far. The space used on the actual internal storage (OS+whatever else) totals 20 gb currently.

    You can fill up your main drive pretty fast with non-steam game data, even if you install the game itself on your SD. Non-steam proton games get "compdata" folders that go on the main drive, these include some dummy file structure to hold windows files for each game. If you run a windows installer via proton... guess where the game is getting installed to. Even if you can avoid that (by installing on a windows PC and copying over), duplicate windows files and proton shaders can stack up fast, I've got about 10gb already.

    More DBD

    Ooooooh. The Dredge's power is actually kind of like a more controlled Hag than Sadako and legitimately can be used in chase. When you start using your power, you slow down to 95%, but you can A.) Teleport to any locker on the map, B.) Teleport back to the point where you started, or C.) Just cancel it and instantly reappear where you are. So you can drop a remnant and continue chasing at the loop, forcing them to either leave the loop or run into you teleporting back. It also exits (unlocked) lockers super fast and has full vision around them, so certainly can ambush with them too.

    On the other hand, unless it's super bugged right now, the nightfall portion of its power basically does nothing. It just slightly darkens the map and makes his power recharge faster.

    DBD Dredge stuff. Very quickly shows how to use his teleport for ambushes and anti-loops, both normal and during night fall. Fucking thing still looks like a shambling worm lightly slapping them with a turkey giblet though.

    Re: Steam Deck wifi issues:

    So I had issues again last night. I was downloading a bunch of packages and files, and my wifi stopped working. It was connected to my AP, and everything is honky dory as far as connectivity is concerned, but it just wouldn't access the Internet.

    And then, suddenly, it started working again. Hilariously enough, I had a steam support response waiting for me as well (I opened a ticket last Friday when this first happened).

    The basic gist is, this is happening with a lot of Decks, and it seems to be happening every now and then when people download a bunch of stuff. Valve is still looking into it.

    Dusted off MGS V for the first time in over six years, on the Deck, naturally. It's been so long that I've never even started it up on my current main PC.

    I dropped right into doing Side Ops - I remember that's where the bulk of the fun in that game is, disregard the story and just enjoy the sneaky-sneaky sandbox stuff. Took a minute to refresh the memory of the controls, and off I went. Still a blast and runs an absolute treat on the handheld.

    Folks are talking about it in the SE++ PC Gaming thread, starting here. Mixed reports. Folks who wanted Diablo + Rust are saying it's way less Diablo and way more Rust than expected. Also some reports that playing without PVP turned on may make the difficulty trivial?

    Not a clear picture for an EA game just released. Interesting feedback in any case.
