- Comment on Everything Should Be As Easy to Upgrade As the Steam Deck - Wired 1 year ago:
Dude, no need to be a dick about it. You made your point, the dunk undermines it.

I dunno, I feel like the Steam Deck’s core audience is “people who liked the Switch’s form factor but also like mods and third-party launchers.”
- Comment on 1 year ago:
Worth noting that Steam doesn’t track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn’t include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.
- Comment on [Discussion] How has the Steam Deck changed your habits with playing video games? 1 year ago:
Ironically enough, it’s led to me playing more games on the living room television! The steam deck helped me adapt to playing with a gamepad, as opposed to mouse and keyboard.
Until they come out with a Steam Controller 2, I will say the best gamepad for steam is the Dualsense (a Dualshock 4 also works). It’s got one touchpad instead of two, but Steam lets you map the left and right half separately, which covers my primary use cases. I also installed the RISE4 remap kit, a hardware mod that adds paddles on the back of the controller which can mimic any face button. Not as good as having actual new buttons, but it does mean I can run and jump without taking my thumb off the right stick.
- Comment on Steam Deck OS 3.5 Preview - Steam News 1 year ago:
same here! I’m a huge fan of MessagEase, a keyboard specifically made for the cell phone touch screen form factor. I think Valve used to dabble in something like this for the controller form factor, the ‘daisy’ or whatever? I think that should absolutely make a comeback, typing with touchpads is a short-term solution but with all the buttons and analogs on a modern controller, we should really have more keyboard options! Maybe something like each stick has 8 positions, and holding any combo of left-stick + right-stick gives one of 64 virtual ‘keys’, which you can click with the triggers, and the bumpers let you swap between different alphabets.

- Comment on [Question] Switch and Deck users, which games do you still prefer to play on switch? 1 year ago:
For what it’s worth, Valve has written a steam input driver for joy-cons! You can connect them over Bluetooth! …but they’re still joy-cons, so their wireless range is really bad. You basically need direct line of sight.
- Comment on [Question] Switch and Deck users, which games do you still prefer to play on switch? 1 year ago:
I have an older switch vulnerable to fusee-gelee, so I’ve been using yuzu’s tutorial for how to legally rip my purchased games from it.
I only use my Switch now for 1) Nintendo exclusives, that 2) I’ve already purchased, and 3) don’t run well on Yuzu. So… Super Beat Sports, mostly. (Harmonix please make a PC port!)

honestly the steam controller’s killer feature for me isn’t even the touchpads – it’s the multiple-profile support. “oh, you want to connect to your PC for a bit, then reconnect to your console later? sure, just hold select during startup, I’ll remember your last 2 bluetooth connections.”

Can’t you basically do this already by installing SteamOS on a normal PC?
