- Comment on What is your favorite Open Source Game on Steam Deck? 2 weeks 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 4 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 4 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. 5 months 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 5 months 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.
- Comment on Shortage of EV charging points make Sunak's green goals impossible, say businesses 5 months ago:
Acting like EVs were a solution at all was never a serious position in the first place.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2023 6 months ago:
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.
