- Comment on Is upgrading the ssd easy enough that it is worth the cost savings? 1 day ago:
It’s not hard at all, if you’ve done any kind of tech disassembly before you should be good. Just make sure you don’t strip the screws (don’t use a screwdriver that’s too small, make sure it’s all the way in the screws before turning it).
You will have to either clone the drive or install SteamOS fresh on the new SSD from a USB drive. They may have fixed it, but originally the SteamOS installation/recovery USB had a software bug that would crash the wifi driver if you connect to a 5GHz wifi 6 network. So if you have a WiFi 6 network, I would suggest only connecting to the 2.4Ghz version of it until you’ve completed setup and downloaded updates.
- Comment on Here's the most played Steam Deck games for April 2025, Balatro still top but Oblivion Remastered sneaks in second 2 days ago:
Seems like the UE5 games can’t get steady framerates on most hardware, but I know what you mean.
I’m definitely looking forward to steam deck 2, but I do appreciate that Valve isn’t pushing out a new one each year with slightly improved specs. And now that the nintendo switch 2 has about the same power as the steam deck, maybe we’ll see UE5 and some other engines actually try to run well at that performance level.

Having looked that on up, I’m curious how you hold your deck with only one hand.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - May 2025 3 days ago:
My big two games recently have been Blue Prince (which I made a post raving about a week ago), and Clair Obscura: Expedition 33.
Blue Prince is a fantastic puzzle game/rogue-likes mix, and as someone who enjoys both genres I’ve found their combination is fantastic. Really satisfying game for me, I didn’t close the game on my deck for about a week after first trying it. I’m not done with it yet either, lots more to discover.
Clair Obscura Expedition 33 is a really flashy turn based JRPG made by a team of 30 people who quit Ubisoft because they wanted to make good games. It has incredible production values for such a small team and puts a lot of AAA games to shame. It pushes the deck performance wise, but I think it performs acceptably after tweaking some settings. I’d recommend people follow this guide for making it run it’s best, but the TL;DW is:
The game hides some graphics settings on deck by default and uses a deck specific present. You can re-enable the settings by using the launch option
SteamDeck=0 %command%, and customize it to your liking. Basically it’s TSR to low, shadow and post processing to low, film grain off, chromatica off, motion blur off, any other option to medium, FPS capped at 30. - Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - May 2025 3 days ago:
I’m playing Clair Obscura and it’s running acceptably well by my standards.
The game hides some graphics settings on deck by default and uses a deck specific present. You can re-enable the settings by using the launch option
SteamDeck=0 %command%, and customize it to your liking. I’ve been following this video’s settings and have been pretty happy with the results. Basically it’s TSR to low, shadow and post processing to low, film grain off, chromatica off, motion blur off, any other option to medium, FPS cap to 30. - Submitted 3 days ago to steamdeck@sopuli.xyz | 39 comments

Personally I would have preferred them to say it more explicitly, but I’m assuming their idea is people provide the knowledge for wikipedia, and AI should help smooth out the other necessary parts (moderation/editing/translation/etc) so that contributors can focus more on the knowledge part.

That’s my guess, that they’re looking for a specific hardware identification and the OLED was overlooked.

- Comment on What are (in your opnion) the must tweaks for steamos? 6 days ago:
TDP limits can sometimes give you increased battery life with no change in game quality. However if you ever notice the game freezing or stuttering, make sure to disable TDP limit and see if that fixes it.
- Comment on What are (in your opnion) the must tweaks for steamos? 6 days ago:
I’ve heard that using BTRFS with compression on a microSD and other slow access storage can actually speed up load times, because the biggest bottleneck is the read/write speed.
- Comment on What are (in your opnion) the must tweaks for steamos? 6 days ago:
You can use this tool to convert the deck.
The only downside I know of is that if your SteamOS install becomes corrupted (though a bug or from you messing something up), the Steam OS recovery drives won’t be able to fix it without wiping all your internal data. In comparison, with the original ext4 there’s a recovery option to only repair steamOS and leave your data intact.
This isn’t as bad as it sounds, you can still manually backup any of your important data before wiping and restoring the drive (you can access the BTRFS system from the recovery drive, and copy anything important onto a microSD or other storage device), but it’s definitely less convenient.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - April 2025 1 week ago:
It has split screen, so we play docked on a TV.
It does have online play too though, there’s a free friend’s pass that you can use for two people to play online with one copy. However even in online play you’ll be playing split screen, because it’s often important to be able to see the other player’s screen.
- Comment on Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered Steam Deck FPS Boost Install Guide - Performance Mod - YouTube 1 week ago:
I haven’t bought the game yet, but I’ve been told this guy’s setting list on ProtonDB is supposed to help a lot. Some people are also reporting success with replacing their engine.ini file with optimized ones from mod sites.
Also apparently changing graphics options on the game leads often leads to bad performance issues for that session. After changing settings, if it seems like the game is running worse, you will likely need to restart the game to see how well it will actually run with the new settings.
- Comment on Steam Deck Verified round-up highlights for late April 2025 1 week ago:
I’m pretty interested in Spellrogue. Dice and deck builders go really well together, Slice & Dice and Dicey Dungeons are both 10/10 and very satisfying to play. I’ve heard good things about Spellrogue while it was in early access, so I’m hoping it will be another great option.

- Comment on Someone made a Steam Deck-powered pinball machine, and you can too with help from 3D printing 1 week ago:
Cool, thanks for sharing. I was wondering how you switched the arcade controls without swapping cables, unfortunate to hear it’s a pain. I’ve been wanting to do a virtual pinball build for awhile now, and I really like the idea of having the device be useable without my deck docked to it. I’ll probably see if I can figure out a good way to swap devices, maybe try using a usb switch and hdmi switch to swap inputs/display.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
No reason to be a dick. You could have rephrased most of this and had it be a beneficial suggestion, but instead it just comes across as you being mean. Looking over you comment history, it looks like most of your comments are that way. You almost are never helpful, just lashing out at people for doing something wrong or asking for help instead of figuring things out themselves. No one is going to take advice from you like this, you’re just pissing people off and wasting your own time in the process.

Oh that’s super cool. I see you have a raspberry pi inside, do you use that just for retro games, and then swap over to a docked Steam Deck for more demanding games? How do you handle swapping?

I’ve been typing a lot of phone notes and taking a lot of screenshots.
I wish there was a good way to edit my steam notes for a game from the steam mobile app.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 1 week ago:
There used to be a dozen sites like 4chan. I don’t know if any of them are still around, but I’m willing to bet that if 4chan doesn’t come back there will be a new website that takes its place.
4chan is a pretty unique experience. Most of the internet is forming into echo chambers, where having a different opinion than the “correct” opinion for that community will get you downvoted or banned. My understanding with 4chan is that post popularity is determined by replies, and frequently controversial opinions/etc get the most replies. So posting stuff that most people will agree will result in a less popular thread than posting something controversial, offensive, or wrong.
I think this leads to a lot of the negative things you’ve heard about 4chan, but encouraging disagreements between its members keeps it from becoming a full echo chamber like a lot of social media. They still have some dominant community opinions, but those opinions can’t really smother all the other opinions like on most sites.
To be clear, 4chan is a cesspool. But for all it’s flaws it does offer something unique that’s largely missing on other websites.

Just to make sure I understand, you’re saying there’s a difference between the zen console versions of the table and the fx3 pinball version?
- Comment on I would like to recommend Blue Prince to anyone who likes puzzle games 1 week ago:
Hope you enjoy it! Fantical has it for about $5 off if you want a bit of a discount.
The experience did steadily grow on me the more I played, so don’t expect to be blown away on your first couple tries.

SteamDeckHQ did a first impressions, and they’re getting a pretty consistent 30fps (higher fps possible inside, but outside can’t go much higher than 30. They mentioned a few fps dips near crowds but that’s it.
It sounds like you’ve got a bad setting somewhere or something else going on, assuming their account is accurate.

I think another studio was handling a lot of it, so it may be less jank than a typical Bethesda game.

That’s unfortunate, sorry to hear about your deck.
The game was a bit of a slow burn at first for me, but the more I’ve played the more I’ve gotten hooked by it. Now it’s all I’ve thought about for days.
