  I use mine with either my Jabra 75t Bluetooth earbuds, or my big Bose over-ear ones using an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter. Both are great.

  BG3 is a pretty impressive game really. It’s clear that they poured a lot of effort and talent into it. It just feels… pointlessly complicated to me. There’s like, 200 different spells to cast, each with their own effectiveness based on a dice roll, a multitude of different configurations for character development which all feel both too similar and like I’m closing the door on something I might really like. The story is… okay, but really not that interesting to me, and the pacing in combination with the very open world and constant fiddling with gear with a multitude of only slightly different attributes… it’s just too much. The game feels more like a job than something I’d do for fun.

  Whaaaaat?? Friend you just made my night! Thank you!

  I broke down and bought Baldur’s Gate 3. I really tried to like it, but I did not.

  So now I bought Horizon: Forbidden West, but the Deck can’t play it, so I’m playing that on my desktop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Help] Performance on External Monitors with the Steam Deck OLED for SCP: Secret Laboratory and Similar Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m reasonably sure that the size of the monitor doesn’t matter, but the resolution does. If you run your monitor at 720p, the performance should be the same as the Deck locally. If you try to run it at 4k (I’m not even sure how you’d convince the Deck to do that) it would decrease performance considerably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite Open Source Game on Steam Deck?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Has anyone managed to get AM2R working on the Deck? I was thinking of trying it out next.

  Not OP, but I didn’t know this was a thing, so thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Emudeck - Great Emulator on the Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Install this blob of data that you just download from this random URL” isn’t something I’m ever going to do on any computer I own. Doesn’t Emudeck support something more reasonable like a flatpak?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I lost days of play time to a stream cloud sync error⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that would have been my go-to, but I’ve been playing on my Deck almost exclusively for about a month now so… no games on the desktop :-(

  In the end, I decided to just open up the console in Fallout 4, input a few cheat codes and get (most of) the stuff I lost. I guess I’m mostly wondering if I should report this as a bug or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone redesigned the Steam UI, and I need it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re making the classic mistake of “all users are like me”. I personally liked pretty much all of her proposed changes and agree with her that Steam’s current offering is a mess of disjointed design elements. I find the friend layout noisy, complicated, and hard to navigate, while her proposals all felt intuitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamDeck OLED Ads in the Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s literally one line of code to check the user agent. It’s probably not much more than that to set a value like owns_deck=True in the session based on the user profile.

  Honestly, I doubt it has anything to do with the complexity. More likely it’s laziness or maybe it just never occurred to them.

  Acting like EVs were a solution at all was never a serious position in the first place.

  Ni No Kuni II. It’s a fun RPG that’s easy to put down and come back to when you have time. The combat is fun too, though the voice overs are a bit distracting.
