Valve filed a 'computer game software' trademark for 'NEON PRIME'

=> ↺ Valve filed a 'computer game software' trademark for 'NEON PRIME'

Well this is perhaps exciting, seems Valve are cooking up something new with a trademark application for NEON PRIME. The application notes it's for "categories of computer game software, electronic game software, video game software, computer game programs downloadable via the internet" and so quite likely some new game is on the way.

Proton Experimental updated helping Halo Infinite and Spider-Man Remastered

=> ↺ Proton Experimental updated helping Halo Infinite and Spider-Man Remastered

Valve released a really small update to Proton Experimental on October 13th, so here's what's new and how to use it. This is the special version of the Proton compatibility layer for running Windows games, with lots of extra special fixes that eventually make their way into the main Proton version that's most used.

I solved the Dandelions paper-and-pencil game

=> ↺ I solved the Dandelions paper-and-pencil game

For reasons I’ll discuss later, I only solved the 5-by-5 game, and the situation may be different for the 6-by-6 variant. Also, unlike British Square, my engine does not exhaustively explore the entire game tree because it’s far too large. Instead it does a minimax search to the bottom of the tree and stops when it finds a branch where all leaves are wins for the current player. Because of this, it cannot maximize the outcome — winning as early as possible as dandelions or maximizing the number of empty grid spaces as wind. I also can’t quantify the exact size of tree.

The JSAUX M.2 Docking Station for Steam Deck is a great choice

=> ↺ The JSAUX M.2 Docking Station for Steam Deck is a great choice

After playing with it for a few weeks, here's what I think along with how to set up the M.2 Docking Station for Steam Deck from JSAUX. Note: JSAUX sent a Dock and a 2TB SSD for review that I can keep.
