One of the best tech purchases of my life. Also it was a neat intro for Linux gaming :)

Yupp, Linux it is

Yaay, I can spend another 500 hours comfortably having no idea what am I doing with my builds!
- Comment on The Fallout TV show gave the Fallout games a huge player bump, as everyone remembers they like Fallout 8 months ago:
Fir someone who only liked NV from the 3D games, never touched 76 and still thinks 1-2 is the absolute best how is the show?

Mapped the back button for the minimap, show/hide loot, inventory and one for instant sell (Shift + left click).
Changed the right touch pad as mouse + left click for menus.
Set the left touchpad to work as a D-pad so I have 4 additional buttons there. So far left-right is the nap zoom and up is the loot filter, down is the skills menu, but I’m thinking of making it into a virtual menu to include more stuff.

Cant comment on online mode so far, but suspend on offline mode works perfectly. I had the game running for 3 days like that and only quit when there was a new patch released :)

Last Epoch - on a gen 1 SD it runs great. Set for 40 fps, medium details, about 2 hours of battery life. Levelling my first character, a Falconer. It’s an offline char for now because of the server issues, but it’s fine, since I’m not planning multiplayer anytime soon, first I want to enjoy the story and learn all the mechanics without distractions.
The game is really good, and looks beautiful. Maybe the only negative is the default controller layout is not perfect, but nothing critical. With a little fine tuning it works like a charm.
- Comment on What games do you use the pads with? 10 months ago:
RPGs, mostly isometric ones without gamepad support. Currently Pillars of Eternity 2. Works surprisingly well.
- Comment on What "Great on Deck" titles have you been enjoying? 10 months ago:
Awesome. Smooth 60 fps on mid-high settings and battery life was around 3 hours.
Also loading times were like 2-3 sec so it’s one of the best titles for the Deck I experienced so far.
- Comment on What "Great on Deck" titles have you been enjoying? 10 months ago:
These are pretty much always installed on my Deck: Dead Cells Dragons Dogma Binding of Isaac Children of Morta
These I finished recently on SD in one form or other: Dishonored The Stick of truth
…but there are plenty

Since it’s a non-competitive offline game cheating could be part of the fun, so no complaints here :)
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024 10 months ago:
Same here. DC is probably my favourite indie game since Terraria. …and still don’t have the final boss cell :(
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024 10 months ago:
I recently installed it and just had to run it in desktop mode first to skip the activation bit and it works with all DLCs enabled.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024 10 months ago:
Oblivion Override - runs like a dream. Since it’s basically Dead Cells but with robots and more boss fights it was a no brainer for me. The controls are smooth and while the fights can be real chaotic I enjoy it a lot so far
- Comment on It Fits Perfectly! 10 months ago:
I still don’t understand why they designed the case like this, the charger should easily fit inside without this “hole”
Not that I complain, they give everyone a case with the console, which is awesome but I personally got a slightly bigger one with enough room to store the charger, wireless earbuds and a cloth for the screen.
- Comment on Protective case or not? 11 months ago:
I received a transparent silicone case with a third party carrying bag I purchased and first wanted to throw it away but gave it a try.
I quite like it as it gives a much better grip and now it’s on my SD 3+ months now. It doesn’t feel bulkier at all(I have normal sized hands).
I used the SD without a protective case for 2 years before and it was also ok.
Unless the case makes the deck hot I think its only a personal preference

Sweet. It will be a great opportunity to see what SteamOS can do on non-valve hardware.

Just a few drops of essential oils into the vents while playing some demanding game and all your worries will fly away!

Management: Cake
- Comment on Game Recommendation? 1 year ago:
My current SD favourite is El Paso, Elsewhere Heavily inspired by Max Payne, it’s a horror-noir TPS shooter with cool slow-mo dives and dual wield gun combat.
The story is completely bonkers, the main guy is a drug addict, who fell in love with a girl, who turned out to be Dracula, lord of vampires. So now our guy is at an interdimensional ever changing motel in El Paso to stop her from invoking the apocalypse. So unlike Max Payne you will fight vampires, ghouls and werewolves.
LOADS of bite sized levels, great narrative and music. Its an indie gem.
- Comment on My Steam Deck's arriving 1 year ago:
You must have a rough life!
- Comment on My Steam Deck's arriving 1 year ago:
You Will be fine. Take it slow and follow a good guide on youtube.
I replaced the SSD, both joys, all buttons, the fan and thermal paste all in one go and never done anything like that before.
Stay organized(label screws if you have to) , have plenty of room on your table with good lighting and just take it easy.
- Comment on I just got my steam deck RMAed after 1.5 years. Guess what was the first thing I did when It turned on. 1 year ago:
My joystick started squeaking after 14 months and the buttons started to register twice while pressed once. Steam support told me they are willing to fix it for like 200 USD, but no warranty after 1 year. It was a pleasant conversation but I hoped to get it fixed for free (I know its unreasonable after warranty) Glad to see they still making some exceptions. Good for you!
I decided to buy my own buttons and replace them for a fraction of the cost.

Thanks! I will definitely need the youtube video 🙂

Looks awesome. I am doing a full button swap with joysticks. Just waiting for the replacement fan (might as well change that) before beginning and super excited to do it.
