Played Stitchlings on #Steam with my youngest
Cute game. SUPER short, but hey, free - can't complain
But on that note: I *do* wish Steam Remote Play used for multiplayer would die now that it's 2026
There are better choices for network play. I wish they were used. Literally streaming your screen to another device and sharing remote input as though it were local. You both prefer keyboard and mouse gaming? Too bad! Remote Play can't distinguish it.

In Rogue-FP on Steam, EVERYTHING is made of letters. When you kill a monster and come back later, there will often be flies (capital 'F' letters) flying around the remains 😂

Перс — Anko Uguisu (Kyouko Mejiro), "Call of the Night"
#Steam

An anime-style illustration of a girl (Anko Uguisu from Call of the Night) against a bright orange and yellow background. The character has messy, medium-length brown hair and wears large, round black-framed glasses. Pink blush is visible on their cheeks, and they have an open mouth with eyes looking slightly downward. They are wearing a dark gray turtleneck sweater. The background features a warm, glowing orange gradient.

Pictures of the "final version" of the Steam Machine knock-off. The case looks great, and there was absolutely no way I was gonna pull the motherboard out of the case to put the IO shield on it...lol

A picture of the rear of the NCASE M1 V5 case that houses the Steam Machine knock-off.  A ton of ports are available, but evidently not the IO shield because the builder was being very, very lazy and wasn't worth tracking it down.

I might still be unemployed, but I also still have a closet of unused computer hardware...so it is time to build a proper Steam Machine!

Bonus notes:
- I know the Wilhem scream is an easter egg on it. I couldn't get it to trigger and don't feel like throwing it even harder to do so.
- People may not realize this is a *very* Steam dependent controller. If you want a controller that is generically good for non- #Steam games as well - this is probably not the controller for you
Steam must be running for it to work with all its intended functionality, as the help guide mentions.

Finished Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator tonight (as in, I got all achievements)
Completed in 20 hours.
It definitely needs more content (which is coming) and could do with a bit more automation (eg: A staff member answering customer queries or picking up a reserved movie)

In anticipation of #SteamNextFest , I've been going through the demos on my Steam account ... at least the ones playable on Mac (I'll have to borrow a PC for the rest).
I love the art style of Date Time❤️: Melissa❤️, Morris❤️, Anna❤️ & it's not overly scary for a #HorrorGame , but also not quite my cup of tea

Finished up with the build, turned out pretty well. I do wish I had some quieter fans, but considering the space constraints I'm happy that they work as well as they do. The 240mm AIO keeps CPU cool enough though I worry that the Radeon 7900XT is going to catch fire considering airflow, but it was well-behaved while testing it out.

Nice things about the experience though?
Can confirm the Puck works with macOS.
Once you get past the Privacy setting configuration, Steam on macOS was able to natively update both the firmware of the Puck and the controller (needed to plug into each, one after the other) - which was pleasant to see, as that kind of thing can be overlooked
Also - in Big Picture mode they have a nice indicator for remaining battery life on the #steamcontroller
Overall, I think my primary usage for this will continue to be as a controller for #SteamDeck - but it's feels nice to have as an option for Mac as well
(2/2)

Ok - here's my #macOS (Tahoe) specific #steamcontroller #gaming #steam personal experience, having tried it out:
So - it works!
BUT
The setup process from Valve does you no favors. While their help guide (help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/) has a Mac specific setup section - the on-screen setup in the Steam client itself does not help out Mac users at all
The guide mentions you need to grant Steam "Input Monitoring" permission - but until I did this, Steam didn't even agree the controller was connected (via USB directly or via the Puck)
And then the second permission "Accessibility" was explicitly necessary if you wanted to do a mouse and keyboard game and it needed to move the cursor (I chose Scritchy Scratchy as a test for this specific reason, especially since they just added macOS support)
Another downside: the default keyboard and mouse layout for the controller maps shoulder buttons to scroll up and down - but only a single increment per press! I had to reconfigure it to enable turbo/repeated scrolling events.
(1/2)
