  The Steam Deck controls but with better ergonomics. Please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox boss confirms a handheld console is in the works⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 :)

  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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)⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All of those AAA and I’m here playing Suikoden 2…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s next for the Steam Deck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A larger and better screen and overall better buttons is the only I need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s next for the Steam Deck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love them not because stories like this but because they are the only ones I know that publish games reviews almost on a daily basis, which is the only thing I want from a videogames news outlets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Review] DeckHD: 1200p Screen Upgrade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I look at my Deck huge black bezels and daydream about the day they bring a 8-8.5 oled screen with no bezels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games to play while absolutely baked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I play indies or roguelikes for this. It’s the most similar to old arcade cabinets experience from back in the day: you play a match, 15-30 minutes top, if you feel like it, rinse and repeat, otherwise not a big deal.

  I’m currently playing Hades. Dead Cells is even better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The steam deck feels very heavy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It felt heavy for me because I was used to the Switch. Since I haven’t used the Switch (actually sold it 6 months ago) it feels normal now.

  What doesn’t felt right then nor now is the straight shape of the handles and I think that this might be confused with heaviness because it is what makes your arms feel tired. Every other modern controller in the market has handles that are pointed outwards which follows the shape of your shoulders in relation to the forearms when holding the Deck (unless you have really small body like children do). I hope they review the general ergonomic of the device in the next iteration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Probably the worst Deck 2 design I've seen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Understandable. If you are into industrial design, architecture or just general design is a good place for inspiration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Probably the worst Deck 2 design I've seen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s probably the least disgusting feature of them all, kinda looking forward for a monitor with rounded corners even though I know the problems that it will carry. The inverted shape of the handles though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Probably the worst Deck 2 design I've seen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is normally very good stuff at Yanko Design. There is stuff like this sometimes though.
