Now this is some seriously cool software and I love to see it. PartyDeck is a new tool that can help you run various games in local split-screen, even if they don't actually support it.

Seems really cool. I haven’t gotten to test it out yet, so I’m not sure how well steam game licenses work with it yet

    interesting, wonder if this works better than local mp mods, would it be like lan except it runs two game sessions of your computer

    I was looking for such a thing for my ChimeraOS machine. I like the dev’s honesty about his skills and will maybe do some bug reporting !

    This looks really cool! It’s a shame I’ll have to add 2 wireless controllers to the list of things I carry around with my deck though…

      Steam has joy-con support built in! Depending on the game you want to play, you might be able to get away with two half-controllers.

    Valve needs to employ this man and get him to develop this idea further. It would be such a standout Linux feature that would draw people onto the platform.
