- Comment on [Help] Performance on External Monitors with the Steam Deck OLED for SCP: Secret Laboratory and Similar Games 2 weeks 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.

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 10 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 10 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. 11 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 11 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 11 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 1 year 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.
