- Comment on The MechLock wall mount for Steam Deck looks ridiculously slick 3 weeks ago:
These people are missing out on arm gains.
I’ve got a phone holder that attaches to my Steam Deck so I can watch movies while gaming. So the combined contraption is the Deck+S23 Ultra+the holder mechanism. I’ll easily hold and play this for over an hour when I take my kids to an indoor play area.
You gotta work for the gains you sissies.

I’ve got a G502 and couldn’t get Piper to work. Are there particular permissions I need to give it in Flatseal?
- Comment on [Discussion] - What are some niche applications / use cases you've gotten working on your deck? 3 weeks ago:
I sold my laptop last year and it took me 2 months for me to find the PC parts I wanted. I’ve got nothing exciting to report. I used the Steam Deck as my full time PC for 2 months and it worked perfectly for home use and as a virtual workstation for remote lpgon for work. This basically gave me the confidence to love to Linux fulltime and I put OpenSUSE on my PC by the time I got it built.
I still have to use my wife’s windows laptop for some hardware peripheral settings (my GP2040-CE custom controller, Logitech mouse macro button settings, gamesir controller), but overall using the Steam Deck fulltime was a good experience.

Thank you satan

I read these conversations. I have no idea what’s going on. I’m glad there are people who understand who are working on things. I tell myself I can still use Linux as a commoner and this back-end doesn’t really matter for me. I still don’t understand what the hell is doing on with Wayland or X11 or systemd or Snap or any of this stuff that people feel strongly about. I’ll just keep my head down. My OpenSUSE PC and Steam Deck seem to be working without doing the undergraduate degree amount of wiki reading that people say I need.

Steam Deck is good… But DNF list is the real backlog killer, dump uninteresting games and move on.
- Comment on Google will now automatically revoke permissions from harmful Android apps 1 month ago:
So they will know an app is harmful, allow it to stay on the store, allow it to be downloaded and installed…but then block the permissions. Thanks G
Also, the only app I’ve ever seen flagged as harmful on my phone so far is KDE connect, so I can’t say I have much faith in this avoiding false positives.

This may be true. I never had problems. But I never looked this up.

Or you could attach the top of a whoopee cushion over it.

Syncthing works great for syncing the screenshots and also for autobackup of emulation save files.
Best to use this with an always-on NAS. This makes file transfer generally easier to and from the console globally.
For your m+KB issue, if you put the Steam Link app on your PC,it becomes and instant virtual KVM and works great for remote access and using it desktop mode too. Great for setting up emulation, custom posters in Steam, Lutris/non-Steam games.
I hope my tip has soothed the pain in your asshole…(title of my sex tape)

- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 2 months ago:
I don’t stream games with Steam Link. I use it to remote access the Deck and use it with the KB+M and monitor. Moonlight does work better for streaming games, but I play low requirement indie titles exclusively so I don’t really need to stream anything.

Facebook marketplace is flooded with these controllers in my area. The popularity of guitar hero games died a decade ago and the controllers are still floating around. I got an Xbox guitar, but like the buttons on my PS2 guitar (with USB converter) better. Try thrift shops as well. Or if you’re handy with electronics and making things, then you’ll find instructions online for making your own from scratch.

In order of frequency of use with my Deck:
My most used accessory is a hoodie with the single front pocket. The Deck fits in this pocket and is great to carry around the house. Doesn’t fall out or anything.
Thick stick-on rubber button covers for the back buttons that make them far easier to press.
Deckmate. I primarily use this with a DIY phone holder to attach my phone.i watch movies while gaming in a dark room waiting for my son to fall asleep every night. Also great for the kick-stand, but I don’t use that much.
A barrel connector to USB-C converter to turn my laptop charger into a 65W USB charger at my desk so I don’t need to have multiple chargers and cables lying around. I also have a super small GaN dual port USB-C charger for travel. I would also recommend buying a bunch of used (branded) USB-C laptop chargers from eBay if you want multiple chargers scattered around the house.
Tomtoc carrying case.
90 degree USB-C connector along with a generic USB-C laptop dock.
My hitbox controller for street fighter.
The Steam Link app on the PC to work as an instant remote access app to the Deck. Works great for setting things up (i.e. emulators) in desktop mode with the KB+M and screen shared to the large monitor.
Guitar hero controller…yup this still gets some use and is fun with the family.
- Comment on Best of Steam 2024 - the top performing games on steam, including best sellers on Steam Deck 2 months ago:
Agree. AAA titles aren’t suited to run on a Deck and should be streamed from a PC with remote play…but I this k this is the appeal of having the games in a portable format, that people are willing to put up with such shit performance.
- Comment on Decksight, an OLED screen replacement for LCD decks, is now in crowdfunding 3 months ago:
Normal screen is close to 720. Boosting up to 1080 has little benefit at this size and negatively affects performance and battery.
- Comment on [HELP] Recommendations for portable setup with keyboard and mouse? 4 months ago:
For keyboards, 60% layouts can be bought prebuilt. If you want something smaller than that then you’re likely looking at DIY build territory or maybe a one handed gaming keyboard.
For a mouse, you can get really tiny portable mice that are low weight. If you want something that doesn’t tie you down to finding desk space, then you can look at trackball mice (fine for strategy games, not great for FPS).
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 6 months ago:
I have an anti-glare LCD version. My brother has a glossy OLED version. I would recommend going for the glossy version and using an anti-glare screen protector if you feel the need. Then you’ve got the option for either.
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 6 months ago:
The Steam Deck + OLED revision are pretty recent and nowhere near the age of a normal console cycle. The OLED revision was a pretty big upgrade and <1 year old. The internet is already desperate for a Deck 2? Valve could print money by doing what phone manufacturers do with miniscule yearly upgrades and forever creeping price. People would fall over themselves to avoid FOMO for the newest console. I’m really glad Valve is doing better than that.
- Comment on Dead Cells has its final update out now with The End is Near 6 months ago:
It’s great that the devs are doing this and great that people enjoy this…but WTF did they turn this game into? When they dropped an item that turns you into a Guacamelee chicken, I felt like they were straying too far from their own game’s identity. I still play the game, but I’ve got it locked to just before the patch with “Everyone’s here”.
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 7 months ago:
Sorry for the loss OP.
Maybe not what you want to hear right now, but I’m really glad Steam cloud minimises the impact of a loss. When I had a Nintendo Switch I was terrified of losing hundreds of hours of Dead Cells or Enter the Gungeon progress. Losing a Deck is obviously a financial loss (and the emotional attachment of someone special giving you yours), but at least there isn’t insult to add to the injury the way Nintendo would do.
- Comment on Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam 8 months ago:
Most people online seem to feel quite strongly about it.
I’m quite strongly against it. I was really happy that my Nintendo Switch Hori controller didn’t have rumble, because then I didn’t have to bother turning it off in every game.
- Comment on Took the plunge after 2 years, and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one 9 months ago:
I used a Deck as my primary computer for 2 months while waiting for my PC parts to arrive. It worked out so well that I installed Linux on my PC when I finally put it together. The Deck’s hardware can struggle with heavy use, but it’s perfectly useable for daily requirements for me.
- Comment on Most played games on Steam Deck for May 2024 - Hades II tops the list 9 months ago:
Streets of Rogue was a laugh, but it didn’t stick the way Gungeon did.
It took me months of play to finish my first Gungeon run. But once I beat successfully completed a run, it became routine that pretty much every run got finished successfully. Although the extra bosses are really difficult, I didn’t get to grips with those.
I had written geberal detailed tips for Gungeon back in the day…but that’s all lost now since I scrubbed everything I had ever submitted to Reddit.
- Comment on Most played games on Steam Deck for May 2024 - Hades II tops the list 9 months ago:
The potential for game breaking synergies and relative simplicity of movement/shooting in 4 cardinal directions makes for pretty fantastic gameplay.
BoI has taken a bit more of a back seat in my library since I discovered Enter the Gungeon.
- Comment on Most played games on Steam Deck for May 2024 - Hades II tops the list 9 months ago:
I’m surprised that’s still in the most played games. Also Slay the Spire.
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 9 months ago:
To be fair the game is almost 14 years old. Even with modern games no one seems to design games for touchscreens since no one is really playing PC games that way.
