Black Mesa, Witcher 3 on high graphics quality setup. Generally, I tend to lower the quality just to increase the battery life: anyways I usually don’t notice very much of graphical improvement on high setup.

Yeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.

I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.

We are talking old game remake lol

Staying with the original also for the performance reasons: UE5 makes it really hungry for resources, while original runs smooth and makes my computer not even turn on active cooling.

My take: Steam Deck is much better, just taking a terrible experience I’ve been having with ASUS laptop build, and how actually well-built the Steam Deck is.

My story is: I bought an LCD with 64 GB storage and upgraded it to 1TB, and made a few fixes already to the buttons (too hard of a player xD). And during disassembly, I was extremely happy with how it was built, because it is really simple to maintain, disassemble/assemble. Like it was actually built to last ;)

If you haven’t set a password before, then it should be the default one: empty. Then, to use sudo you will need to set one by using passwd command.

In case if the password was set in the past: the only way would be to run factory reset, or restore from image.
