- Comment on Junk Store 2.0 has released 5 days ago:
Problem is not paying. Is the subscription model what will make it fail.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck? - July 2025 4 weeks ago:
Beyond Good and Evil (the original, not the remastered version) struggling with the camera and the FOV but enjoying it anyway.
- Comment on GeForce NOW Native App for Steam Deck Is Here 2 months ago:
Oh, didn’t know, I assumed that there will be some form of DRM preventing it. I’ll check into it. Thanks!
- Comment on GeForce NOW Native App for Steam Deck Is Here 2 months ago:
So, could I stream my basic Gamepass subscription games on my PC to the deck or will it be capped somehow?
- Comment on [Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck? 4 months ago:
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.

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 4 months 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 4 months 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 6 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??? 6 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 6 months ago:
I’m playing some Unicorn Overlord, it took a while to kick in but now I’m totally hooked.
- Comment on Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its Deckard 8 months ago:
The Steam Deck controls but with better ergonomics. Please.
- Comment on Xbox boss confirms a handheld console is in the works 8 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? 9 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? 9 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 11 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 11 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 1 year ago:
Yes, sorry, I forgot to put the quotes on official.
- Comment on Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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.
