- Comment on Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its Deckard 4 weeks ago:
I’ve got two steam controllers on their last legs. I can’t go back to shitty traditional controllers.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 month ago:
I’d like to see it show if there is any third party DRM as well, like the Augmented Steam extension does.
- Comment on Valve will finally sell the Steam Deck in Australia 2 months ago:
I got lucky and only paid a bit more than RRP, but you pretty much had to sit around a wait for a deal.

- Comment on [Discussion] SteamOS 3.6 is nearly here, with Valve focusing on bug fixes before release. What are some bugs you've encountered (on either Stable or Beta) that you're hoping to see fixed? 2 months ago:
What headphones in particular are you using? Because with standard AD2P you’re limited to mSBC at best, but maybe your device has some proprietary implementation.
You could try with a hardware dongle, but no guarantee that will work either.
At least in the long run it should be fixed by Bluetooth LE audio, but I’m not sure if the Deck properly supports it yet, and it requires new audio devices as well.

Pulseaudio has been pretty solid for a while now which is what the steamdeck uses from what i can see online.
It uses Pipewire, but it has pretty close to full API compatibility with Pulseaudio (and Jack) so most applications will “just work” and you get lower and more stable latency in return.
- Comment on A Steam Deck Mini PC Using Real Hardware 4 months ago:
No, that’s the first I’ve heard of it too. That forum looks to be pretty active so maybe some insight can be gained there.
- Comment on A Steam Deck Mini PC Using Real Hardware 4 months ago:
It’s kind of vague, but presumably it supports sd cards and/or a USB drive. The Wii is pretty easy to mod for digital “backups” from what I recall, and there were plenty of official digitally supported games (although I don’t think that still works today).
- Comment on Steam deck triple monitor setup with the official dock 5 months ago:
I think it would struggle to have the bandwidth to pull that off, but maybe if you keep the resolution and refresh rate down. And that’s assuming USB-C to USB-A would work in this case, which I don’t know the answer to.
- Comment on Audio on steamdeck with HDMI connected 5 months ago:
is it possible to set the steamdeck to “default” to always keep picking the steamdeck speaker as default audio out also when an HDMI is connected through the USB-C?
Some audio issues were introduced in the SteamOS 3.5 update (partly due to having to handle the OLED model around the same time) which causes the HDMI problem. Hopefully it will be fixed in SteamOS 3.6 or 3.7. I’ve found that Bazzite doesn’t have the issue, although obviously that’s an invasive change, and I understand it’s still a bit buggy with the OLED model.
how do y’all combine music and games?
I think doing what you want could be a bit technically involved. One way might be to have one device control the music, and then cast it to the deck with snapcast or similar. Then, if you can get a snapcast client on the deck to be persistently running in the background, any music that is played on the other device, will be heard on the Deck.
Or more simply, you could try pairing your Deck in bluetooth from another device, and then select that Deck as an output. This is assuming that the Deck allows this, and that your OS supports this (Pipewire on Linux definitely does).
- Comment on 64GB and 512GB Steam Deck LCD models are 15% off until July 11th, 10 AM PDT 5 months ago:
They’re keeping the 256gb LCD for now, although that could change in the future of course.

- Comment on Updated AMD GPU Firmware Makes Valve's Steam Deck More Robust Against Buggy Apps 6 months ago:
I would expect so. It might already be on the Deck, as sometimes Valve is ahead on kernel and firmware related issues.

- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
Guaranteed good driver support too, since Valve fund devs to work on the AMD GPU drivers on Linux.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
I don’t think they have yet, which is a bit of a sore point. Third party alternatives like Bazzite may do the job, though.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
I wouldn’t expect HDMI 3 given the HDMI group are openly hostile to open source implementations of HDMI 2.1
- Comment on What is your favorite Open Source Game on Steam Deck? 7 months ago:
I haven’t played it on the Deck specifically yet, although it should work fine. OpenTTD, and I’ll add Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters.

- Comment on New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2 8 months ago:
Usually from third party eBay and Amazon sellers. There’s a price premium, but not bad if you’re willing to wait for a sale.

Linux based with long term support + touchpads + repairability vs a generic Windows handheld.
- Comment on EmuDeck removes Yuzu And Citra emulator support 9 months ago:
They couldn’t go “well we don’t support piracy,” because their actions proved otherwise.
They could make the argument they were working on it so it would be ready by release, but yeah, taking money for it makes them a more obvious target. That and they necessarily had to have access to the game in order to work on it (or at least others had to have access to it in order to receive bug reports on it).

- Comment on Steam Deck OLED now supports HDR Remote Play from PS5, unlike PlayStation Portal 1 year ago:
If you go to ipinfo.io at home (over wifi or ethernet) and it says your ip is in the
100.64.0.0range, then you are on a CG-NAT network.This wikipedia article may be helpful. The short answer is that we are running out of public IPv4 addresses so CG-NAT is used so a bunch of users can essentially share 1 (or a few) public IPs. From the router’s perspective, you have a public IP that is actually a private IP in the 100.64.0.0/10 range.
However, not having a real public IP means you have no way for remote devices to directly access your router, so port forwarding won’t work.
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED now supports HDR Remote Play from PS5, unlike PlayStation Portal 1 year ago:
You might be on a CG-NAT network which makes port forwarding impossible. Some ISPs will disable it if you ask (or give you an ipv6 IP which isn’t affected by the issue).
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED Plays Better Than Steam Deck LCD: Big Input Lag Reductions 1 year ago:
Most people aren’t that sensitive to it, particularly with controller rather than mouse & k/b input.
- Comment on Steam :: Steam Deck :: SteamOS 3.5.5 Update 1 year ago:
Yeah, audio in general seems to be a bit bugged. I’ve had issues with apps and games not actually using the default output/sink. Thankfully, the output they are choosing is the one I use most of the time, but it’s annoying when that’s not the case.
- Comment on Steam :: Steam Deck :: SteamOS 3.5.5 Update 1 year ago:
I’d like to see that too. There’s definitely an obvious improvement. It might even be an improvement over my own colourmeter correction, although I’ll have to re-measure it with the changes.
I wouldn’t expect it to match the OLED mind you, just because of contrast and a wider colour gamut (and HDR) but it might be enough for some.
