  They gave away Weird West on Epic a while ago. I checked it on Game Pass and had to quit it. The atmosphere is very good and overall looks interesting but the controls were awful for me to get used to. If you are going to get it I recommend checking it before the return window expires, just in case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably Zomboid, been eyeing it for a while. And maybe Heavy Rain, at €2 it’s very tempting.

  I learned about this game last week, but for what I can tell is co-op only, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks again for your efforts. Maybe it would be a good idea to include a link to an index of old issues instead of only the last one. Or maybe no because this are news and maybe old stuff is less important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck News⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I must be among the few that liked Wolfensteing Young Blood, quite a bit indeed. I acknowledge it is not as cool as the mainline games but the shooting is in there and there is a lot of stuff to shoot at which is what I like the most about those games I hope the come with a new entry in the series soon.

  Nope, emulation via Ryujinx.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unicorn Overlord, took me. While to get into it but then I got completely hooked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might as well get a laptop???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know the fun thing? If they managed to reduce the roughly 3+ centimeters of useless bezel on all sides the size wouldn’t be so unreasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - January 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m playing some Unicorn Overlord, it took a while to kick in but now I’m totally hooked.

  The Steam Deck controls but with better ergonomics. Please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox boss confirms a handheld console is in the works⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It will be tied to Microsoft and Gamepass heavily. Neither of those things interest me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you prefer for audio? Earphones, headphones, speakers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I know, that is because Phonak use Bluetooth classic, and older standard with more lag, more battery consumption and less quality but far more compatibility. I heard you can connect a Phonak to pretty much anything Bluetooth capable, even old dumb phones or mp3 players.

  I have the Resound Nexia which use Bluetooth LE audio, MFI and ASHA protocol which are supposedly better but you need devices that support them. MFI is for Apple devices and ASHA is Android exclusive. But outside of that you are pretty much screwed. LE Audio and the LC3 codec are here (since several years ago) to fix that but adoption it’s being very slow.

  For what I’ve read the distro in which Steam OS is based has already BT LE audio and the LC3 codec support built in but it is up to Valve to implement it at a OS level. One can dream :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you prefer for audio? Earphones, headphones, speakers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Headphones because I use hearing aids and thus o can’t use earbuds at the same time. Speakers if there is no one around and/or I’m just tired of headphones.

  Hopefully the Steam Deck will include Bluetooth LE audio and LC3 codec some day and then I will be able to stream directly into my hearing aids :)

  This is the way!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Helldivers 2 Gets New Steam Deck Graphics Preset Alongside New Difficulty Level⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, didn’t know, it’s pretty cool, the few “optimized” games I’ve played didn’t have it, so I assumed that this was first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Helldivers 2 Gets New Steam Deck Graphics Preset Alongside New Difficulty Level⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is “Steam Deck” a preset in the graphic settings selector? If so it is pretty cool, I’ve seen many games claim “optimized for settings “ but unless there is a preset is up to the user to fiddle until it get the optimal settings. This is a cool idea, haven’t seen it before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, sorry, I forgot to put the quotes on official.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the point of an official Deck controller if it doesn’t have touchpads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some cool new plugins from the Decky Store: turn your screen off (OLED only), IsThereAnyDeal, and brightness bar pop up⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, the last one looks very handy for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still love my high frame rates, but playing with a controller is much more forgiving in that regard and i mostly play games with no camera controls on the Deck so it is perfectly fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hardcore Mecha. More fun than I imagined it would be (and I had high expectations).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there an alternative to joy con for steam deck? (or pc in general)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had terrible experiences with anything Nintendo on PC or Deck. Have you tried any third party joy cons? Something like the hori split pad pro or similar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MSI Launches Claw A1M Handheld Gaming Device With Core Ultra 7 CPU, Starts At $699⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing that the Deck does better than any other handheld is having both sticks, d-pad and buttons aligned in a row, that makes any combination of them comfortable to use, weird that nobody copies that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing I love the most about the Deck is having full size controllers on a handheld device, something that neither the Vita, PSP or Switch couldn’t gave me. So, for me, this idea won’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids are brutal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The grudge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you receive your Deck OLED?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s supposedly arriving today according to the tracking number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck OLED Plays Better Than Steam Deck LCD: Big Input Lag Reductions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, so this is why zombies were festing on me in Resident Evil Remastered. It makes sense now xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the games featured in the Steam Deck OLED video?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can only identify the second one which is Persona 5. I also interested in knowing as I thought the first one was Lovely Planet and it clearly is not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's one way to combat scalpers...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes the two of us. I was 15 minutes stuck in the address confirmation. Happily it suddenly went to the payment page and then to checkout. Let’s hope it doesn’t get misplaced in another country during transit for two weeks like the original Deck did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Diablo 4 is coming to Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is nice. I don’t care about end game and only want to play the campaign so I’ll wait until it drops to €20 to get it.
