- Comment on How do you use the built in microphones? [Update] 3 days ago:
I’ve used it before when playing non-docked (otherwise I have a Blue yeti condenser mic hooked up into my docking hub).
The people I was playing with said I sounded good and clear. I’ve used it both with Discord and with Steam voice chat and I’ve never had an issue.
- Comment on Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam 5 days ago:
I said it elsewhere, but it’s almost like they looked at the market research showing Steam PC gamers would buy a gazillion Steam Controller 2s or Steam Deck Controllers if they made and sold either one, or both.
And then they decided to make something that was neither one of those things. It’s totally bizarre.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 3 weeks ago:
Why would anyone buy this? You can already do this streaming through the Deck or any of the other handhelds, if Game Pass is your thing.
- Comment on Selling my deck 7 months ago:
Sorry friend, Valve absolutely cratered the resale value of LCD Decks with the OLED launch and restructuring.
I was considering selling my Deck and moving to the Go in the days before the announcement, and the very day I decided to sell, Valve put out that press release. Instantly new LCD Decks were $150ish cheaper, so that just comes right off the top of what you could get for a used one.
- Comment on I think the Limited edition wasn't as limited as we thought 7 months ago:
The only thing worse than scalpers are people who buy from scalpers and perpetuate the cycle of scalping.
- Comment on What are your favourite casual games on the steam deck? 7 months ago:
Be sure to check community control layouts, and not just the default.
I’ve had several games I thought would be terrible on a controller, only to discover someone had invented an ingenious and intuitive layout already.
- Comment on Steam Deck as a laptop replacement? 8 months ago:
It actually did replace my laptop when I got it last year. My dying, ancient laptop finally kicked it just a couple of days before the Deck arrived. I never had one iota of desire to get another laptop.
Of course our use cases are radically different, but I think that displays the versatility quite well.
- Comment on Keyboard shortcut for accessing the Steam menu 8 months ago:
In gaming mode, you can use Ctrl-1 and Ctrl-2 to access the menus, but for reasons unknown, these don’t work in-game.
In desktop mode, if you dock the Deck, you can try changing the display settings manually if it doesn’t auto-adjust. This is under the System Settings app.
- Comment on Supposed Steam Deck killers are missing the point 9 months ago:
Absolutely. Valve is the only player in this game that doesn’t have to turn their profits on the actual devices themselves.
And Valve’s definitely turning backflips that tons of people are entering the PC gaming space and Steam store on handhelds that Valve didn’t have to subsidize.
- Comment on [Discussion] With the recent rumors of a possible hardware refresh, what are your most hoped for changes in an updated Steam Deck? 9 months ago:
I’ll take a larger screen, the 7" is far too tiny for me for almost any game with text or captioning. Something in the 9" or slightly larger range would be golden, and you could get most of the way there by getting rid of the bezels. the actual Deck itself wouldn’t have to be that much bigger to accommodate the rest.
- Comment on Should I get a Steam Deck? 9 months ago:
Being a 40s gamer with bad eyes, the only thing I dislike about the Deck is the small screen size, which keeps me from using it handheld as much as I’d like to.
But it’s my only PC currently, and it’s fantastic docked with Bluetooth M&K. In every other way but the native screen, it’s exceeded my expectations.
Down the road when it’s time to upgrade, I’ll probably get a device with a larger screen, but I will always love the Deck, which has convinced me that I’ll probably never main a laptop again.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - September 2023 9 months ago:
Don’t sleep on Grim Dawn either. Deep, with a ton of class combos.
- Comment on Over 11,000 games now rated Steam Deck Playable 10 months ago:
I’ve heard that while it’s not exactly SteamOS… ChimeraOS gives a very similar experience, should you own one of those Windows handhelds and don’t want to use Windows primarily on it.
- Comment on Is there a way to turn off R3 ( right joystick hat ) as gyroscope trigger ? 10 months ago:
You can make the gyro activator any control input on the Steam Deck. Don’t be afraid to experiment to find the comfiest option for you.
- Comment on [Review] DeckHD: 1200p Screen Upgrade 10 months ago:
I already have trouble with small game text at 800p. Why would I want higher resolution on the same size screen to make it tougher to see?
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023 10 months ago:
Tiny text and 40s eyes cause me to want to play a lot of stuff docked, but Hollow Knight was a fantastic experience on the Deck.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023 10 months ago:
It’s a classic. I’m going to revisit it after my BG3 playthrough. I never did complete it previously.
- Comment on I just got my steam deck RMAed after 1.5 years. Guess what was the first thing I did when It turned on. 10 months ago:
Then we can pick up a Steam Deck 2 and get double nose cancer. Fun times for all.
- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use desktop mode, and if so, what do you use it for? - August Week 2 2023 10 months ago:
I use it all the time. For everything besides gaming, where I like having the integrated gaming mode UI instead.
Of course, the Deck is my only PC currently, which isn’t the use case that most have for it.
- Comment on Got Steam version Baldur's Gate 3 to launch 10 months ago:
I’m kind of hoping that Larian realizes they forgot this, and just patches a fix to auto-install and run this with the game naturally, so that there isn’t a need to go through this rigmarole.
They’ve been pushing for this launch date for weeks now, and to me, them leaving it out is the developer equivalent of a major league baseball player running out to the field, but leaving his glove in the dugout. Like, how did you forget that? lol
- Comment on Got Steam version Baldur's Gate 3 to launch 10 months ago:
Seriously.
The only reason I know about this fix path is that I had to go through a similar fix for a missing C++ dist for another game a couple of months back. Had I not just randomly had to fix a similar problem recently, I’d have been clueless. And casual users are just NOT going to know about these kinds of fixes, and will just be stuck with a game that doesn’t launch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
