Cheerful Ghost Radio Episode 91: Welcome Back, Yakkety Sax

Uhhh testing, testing. Is this thing on? Is this... are we doing a new episode? Has it been a year? Are we really bad at this?

As it turns out, the answer is yes to all of the above. Come hang out with us as we catch up on our lives and share the media that has gotten us through the past year!

Valve Is Working on a Portable Switch-like Gaming PC: the SteamPal

Ars Technica has an exclusive preview of what may come with the SteamPal, but in short, imagine the GPD Win types of handheld PCs, but with docking capability similar to the Switch and Steam Controller features.

It currently appears to be targeting Linux, which makes sense considering how much work Valve has put into its Wine distribution, Proton, making gaming on Linux *far* easier than it has ever been.

I hope there are some high end and low end entry points for this, as I could imagine using it for Steam Remote Play Anywhere, sitting in my car at lunch playing some games streamed from my PC at home, or as a full-on powerful device in its own right.

While I'm glad the technology in the Steam Controller is still being used, I'm still bummed that we only got the initial release and that they were canceled. I would have loved to have seen the evolution of that design. Maybe that's coming too! It's Valve, so it's hard to tell.
