- Comment on [Discussion] What have you been playing in Steam Next Fest? 13 hours ago:
My favorite demo I played was Clover Pit, it’s by the devs of Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, and could lazily be described as balatro meets a slot machine. In reality it’s more different from balatro, it has it’s own retro horror vibe and some other interesting things going on. I enjoyed it, and found myself itching to play it more.
Nothing else clicked with me unfortunately. Jump Ship looked cool but didn’t run well on the deck, Brave Junction is a blackjack StS type game by rideonjapan but didn’t quite click with me. I tried a few other games but nothing hooked me.

- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #19 17 hours ago:
FBC Firebreak is now officially steam deck verified as well
I’m excited for it as a remedy game, but I’m worried that it may be another example of a talented studio getting pushed into an unfamiliar multiplayer game, chasing trends. I also don’t think the name is doing them favors, I don’t think it’s clear that it’s tied to Control/Alan Wake universe enough to help sales, but it also doesn’t feel suitable as a standalone game name either. Anyways we’ll see how it goes, hopefully it will be great and be really successful.
- Comment on Discussion: Do you think the next steamdeck will be x86 or ARM? 2 days ago:
I’d recommend looking at the articles I linked, I probably should have refreshed my memory on them better before commenting.
In addition to knowing that valve is working on compatibility layers for running x86 on arm devices, there was also a steamVR update 9 months ago contains files for an ARM device code named deckard. There’s probably more relevant leaks too, I think some renders of deckard controllers got leaked at some point as well.
- Comment on Microsoft dives into the handheld gaming PC wars with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally 3 days ago:
Supposedly they were working on an inhouse one, and then changed directions to just do software tweaks for other companies hardware instead.
It definitely needs some background process limiting, comparing official windows vs official steamOS on that Lenovo legion Go showed pretty terrible performance impact from running windows.

There were previous leaks that were covered here about it, here are two articles on it:
- Comment on Discussion: Do you think the next steamdeck will be x86 or ARM? 4 days ago:
I would guess steam deck 2 will be x86, I’m assuming that valve is already working on hardware for it. We do know that Valve is working on a new VR headset that will be ARM based though, and that they’re working on an ARM compatibility layer for it. If the early testing of the VR headset is promising enough I could imagine valve pivoting to make the next Deck ARM based, but that will probably cause a longer delay before we get a Deck 2.

- Comment on Ogu and the Secret Forest via Epic Games - keeps freezing 1 week ago:
Unfortunately common issue with a lot of Epic store games, many don’t work or have issues when compared to the steam version. The protonDB reports are all 6months+ in age as well, so it’s possible something has changed with the game in that time. Found this discussion on reddit, where it sounds like it runs for most people but with terrible performance.
I know some Epic games take a really long time at first load. The Epic version of gloomhaven could take 1-2 hours to load the first time if I recall right, but after that first really long load time it would work fine. I’m assuming it’s compiling shaders or something the first time.
- Comment on How long before Switch 2 JoyCon MouseMode is usable on a Deck? 1 week ago:
For trackball, I personally find a finger controlled trackball much more intuitive and easy to use compared to a thumb controlled one. The trackpads on the deck and steam controller are great, but they generally are thumb only unless you have some really funky grip.
- Comment on How long before Switch 2 JoyCon MouseMode is usable on a Deck? 1 week ago:
You can use any mouse. Also after an initial learning curve, trackball mice are a very couch friendly mouse.
- Comment on VacuumTube is the best way to watch YouTube on Steam Deck, SteamOS 1 week ago:
It’s distributed through flatpak, so yes, it’s available on Ubuntu or any linux distro that supports flatpak.
It is focused on controller support, so it might not be ideal for an ubuntu desktop computer, but that just depends on your use case.
- Comment on VacuumTube is the best way to watch YouTube on Steam Deck, SteamOS 1 week ago:
According to the article this has a built in adblocker.

That can work with any website, so you can probably just install jellyfin, have your local media hosted at 127.0.0.1:8188, and play that in the picture in picture plugin.

- Comment on Steam Deck Client and Beta Get New Updates For Fixes and New In-Game Shortcuts 1 week ago:
I think it was supported really early on (or was supposed to be supported), but it hasn’t worked for basically the entire time I’ve had my Deck. I don’t play with keyboard very often so it never impacted me, but I know I’ve heard people complain about it.

- Comment on Decky Loader - SimpleDeckyTDP 1 week ago:
SimplyDeckyTDP has a few features that specifically care about the sleep and resume features. You can disable setting the TDP when resuming, as well as disable any suspend actions. For me, the most useful setting is configuring the max TDP when resuming from sleep. You can encounter audio stutters when resuming games sometimes, and forcing the maximum TDP when waking the Steam Deck gets around those issues.
That’s interesting, I don’t run into that issue often, but I know some games have issues with it. The pause games decky plugin already can fix some of those, but worth remembering this plugin as well for when people have trouble with that.

I’ve had Sekiro on my wishlist for a long time because a lot of people consider it the best souls like game. I know the main point with it is that it’s supposed to be more parry focused, you’re expected to really learn and master enemy attack patterns and parry/counter windows. The first playthrough is supposed to be able slow/steady progress and learning, and then on a second playthrough you apparently feel like a god who’s mastered an intricate dance and can’t be stopped.
At least that’s how it was described to me, but as far as the smaller “what do I do now” level I don’t know what to tell you with my general lack of souls experience.

There was a performance mod being passed around that I tried earlier, it had some significant performance gains but had some serious downsides like some fabric would lose physics and just stick straight out, and things like the paint bridges were completely invisible.
- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 1 week ago:
Valve employees are given time to work on self selected projects. I’m guessing that leads to more new projects than people taking over maintenance of existing projects.

Stellar Blade is UE4, while Wukong is UE5.
UE5 performance is pretty bad on nearly every game it’s in unfortunately.

Yeah, I don’t mention it very often anymore, but I’m always playing HSR on the side. I’m glad hoyo games work so well on the Deck.

I’m still playing Clair Obscura Expedition 33 as my main game. I’m really enjoying it, I could take or leave the party/dodge mechanics, but the amount of build customization between weapon effects, skills, and equipable passives is incredible. A bunch of my friends have also bought the game, and we keep sharing builds we’ve found that feel super strong.
I recommend this performance mod, lets me play with a bit higher settings and raised my fps by 10 fps in some areas. It has a lot of different presets, I’ve been using default lighting ultra performance (and they using XeSS or FSR in game for upscaling)
To install the mod’a performance settings, copy the settings folder content to:
/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1903340/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Sandfall/Saved/Config/Windows/To unlock all graphics settings in the game, you need the launch option
SteamDeck=0 %command%, or alternatively installing fsr via the DeckyFramegen mod will also seemingly unlock all the other graphical settings as well. - Submitted 2 weeks ago to steamdeck@sopuli.xyz | 31 comments

OEMs tailor windows as much as they can, but there’s only so much you can do.
- Comment on What is the state of updating the BIOS on the Steam Deck/Bazzite? 2 weeks ago:
From looking at Bazzite documentation, ujust is a collection of scripts that run different updaters/etc. It does cover bios updates by running
ujust enable-deck-bios-firmware-updates.From looking at the Bazzite github, this runs a shell script that checks to make sure you have Steam Deck hardware and don’t have the DeckHD replacement screen or 32GB ram mods installed, and then enables
jupiter-biosupdate.service. I’m guessing that service is probably using fwupd for updates, but haven’t been able to confirm it yet. If anyone else has some insight I’d be interested to hear it. I know the bazzite founder is active here but I’m going to restrain myself from pinging him and wasting his time over curiosity. - Comment on What is the state of updating the BIOS on the Steam Deck/Bazzite? 2 weeks ago:
Valve just open sourced SteamOS manager, which among other things allows updating the BIOS. I suspect we’ll see this get added into Bazzite and other Linux distros meant for the Deck, but I don’t think it’s been added yet.
In the meantime, the Arch Wiki claims that fwupd works fine for updating the Steam Deck bios on Arch, and I’m assuming that means it would work for Bazzite and other distros as well.
