- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 3 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 4 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 4 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 4 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 4 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? 4 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.
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 4 months ago:
I ordered the Deck when pre-bookings first opened and got one of the first few deliveries. Been using it daily since then. Made a gaming PC 4 months ago and only use that for Street fighter 6 and Spider-Man remastered. The Deck is used for everything else. My Daily games at the moment are Brotato, Everybody’s Golf 6 (emulated), Rock band unplugged (emulated), Everspace. Got Hades 2 lined up next. If a game isn’t good on the Deck then it’ll likely get neglected. That’s why I don’t play FTL as much as I’d like.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024 4 months ago:
I’ve really liked Everybody’s golf so far. I used to play it on the PSP, but then thought I might as well get the most up to date version possible. This 6th version had plenty of recommendations online as one of the best. It has got just enough real golf (compensation for wind, ground type, ground slant, height, etc) and arcade elements (hitting curve balls or super spin, a variety of clubs and balls types to pick for added stats, etc). I’d recommend trying it out. You’ll know after the first few rounds whether you’re going to like it or not.
I’ve also really liked stick man golf on the phone. PGA golf gets plenty of recommendations online too, but I didn’t want anything that was too realistic.
- Comment on Games that support the Deck's multitouch 4 months ago:
Slay the Spire and card games work well with the touch interface. Gem matching games like Matchr work well too. Hardly any once can make use of a multitouch PC game. Touch games tend to be released on the phone.
Here’s a different suggestion. Try emulating Mercury Meltdown for the Wii. That can be played entirely with gyro controls.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024 4 months ago:
I’ve setup up emulation and have had a blast playing Everybody’s Golf 6 for the PS3. It is such a chill game. Golf games are really underrated and everybody’s golf does a great job of cartoony arcade game mixed with just enough real golf to make it interesting. Perfect on the Deck.
- Comment on Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck? 7 months ago:
What’s OpenSUSE like?
I know nothing about dealing with issues in terminal and it takes a lot of internet searching to solve problems. The Steam Deck uses Arch and KDE so that made me try EndeavourOS on the PC, but it’s too complicated and too dependant on terminal and giving trouble with flatpak apps. Do you find OpenSUSE simple to use? If that’s complicated too I might go to Kubuntu or back to Linux Mint.
- Comment on Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck? 7 months ago:
I sold my laptop and used my Steam Deck as my main PC for a couple of months (till the parts for my new PC arrived). Worked out great. Convinced me to install Arch Linux on my new PC.
The Deck works well as an HTPC too. Works great with Plex, etc.

This unique construction is designed to catch the fish from the tail end rather than hooking in the mouth.
- Comment on Why do it 10 months ago:
I searched for an watched a YouTube video about it…and I regret it immensely.

Yes I’ve heard of this “hovering” phenomenon. Curious.

- Comment on The amount of communities I need to block to not see the same old stuff over and over again 10 months ago:
My Reddit app had hundreds of keywords, domains and subs in the filters by the time I left Reddit. You seem to be getting some criticism in the comments here, but I think what you’re doing here is good. It’s up to you to curate the content you want to see, and instead of raging in a community to complain about low effort posts or spam or bots, if it works out better to block them then you should.
- Comment on Game Recommendation? 11 months ago:
If playing a roguelite isn’t stressful, then slower paced games like Slay the Spire or Into the Breach might be better.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023 1 year ago:
Path of Exile. It’s been great on the Steam Deck and I’m going through the last few days of this league. Once that finishes I’ll start putting a lot more time into Street Fighter 6 (with the compact portable hitbox controller I made) and some Eldest Souls on the side.
- Comment on Necessary accessories? 1 year ago:
Most people have already addressed the fact that you’ll need more SSD space and that other accessories aren’t strictly required; but here’s what I got:
-
Laptop 65W USB-C PD chargers off eBay (cost £18 each instead of £30 for a USB PD charger +£10 for a cable). Have a look at PD power banks as well if that’s something of use to you.
-
A hoodie with a big pocket on the front. Perfect for carrying around the Deck in the pocket.
-
This 90° elbow connector from Ali Express to play while plugged in.
-
8bitDo makes for a perfect controller to use with the Deck (whichever flavour you like).
-
Whichever wired/wireless earphones you like
-
Any universal USB-C hub you like. People tend to be fixated on a dock. I personally don’t see any reason for a Deck to be propped upright. A flat universal hub can be packed in a bag easier and used with your laptop too.
-
Back button enhancers to come back in stock and I plan to buy those.
-
I haven’t needed to open up my Deck since I got the 512 version, but if I ever do open it I’ll put in hall effect joysticks.
-
I already had an air mouse/keyboard lying around which I use to do quick tasks in desktop mode without having to connect it to my computer monitor. The Unified Remote Android app works well for this as well.
-
a lot of people have put skins and cases on theirs but I haven’t. See if that’s something you would like.
-
You could get a screen protector as well. I didn’t since I got the 512 GB version.
