- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 1 week ago:
Do you recall where you saw that? I can’t find the statement. Would be cool if true though. Wasn’t possible for Index Controllers.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 1 week ago:
If they work like the Index controllers, no, they won’t connect without Steam VR running. But maybe they’re different.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 1 week ago:
I don’t think you can do a whole lot with the Frame controllers without the Frame though.
- Comment on [Deck] Make it make sense 1 week ago:
Clockwise, to me, goes forward. The file explorer sorts from top to bottom. It makes perfect intuitive sense to me. You may say that volume and time go “up”, but it’s not like they’re literally moving in space in an upwards direction, are they? They increase.
- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 5 weeks ago:
Best case scenario is that they had already secured a RAM deal when the prices went mad, so they can now offer a good price. Even then, it might still be an issue for later batches though.
- Comment on what exactly is the steam frame? 2 months ago:
It can play games natively, but unless they’re specifically made for it, they will run through a translation layer that will have a performance cost. I’d expect similar to slightly better visuals compared to a Quest 3. I don’t think No Man’s Sky VR will run standalone with playable performance.
- Comment on Lets speculate about the steam controllers price 2 months ago:
the price of a General controller with back buttons and no Hall effect Joysticks or touchpads is already about 100€
That seems expensive, my latest controller with TMR joysticks and back buttons only cost 55€. That said, I do think the Steam Controller will be more expensive than that. 80-100€ is my guess.
- Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 6 months ago:
To be honest I wasn’t aware GOG even had a Linux client!
It doesn’t. This is Heroic launcher, which is an unofficial launcher that can download games from EGS, GOG and Amazon. It does support Proton generally, not sure why it doesn’t in this case.
- Comment on Grok got a Nazi patch 8 months ago:
So let’s assume the AI actually does have safety checks and will not display holocaust denial arguments without pointing out why they’re wrong. Maybe initially it will put notes directly after the arguments. But no problem! Just tell it to list the denialist lies first and the clarifications after. Take some screenshots of just the first paragraphs and boom - you have screenshots showing the AI denying the holocaust.
My point is that it’s easy to manipulate AI output in a variety of ways to make it show whatever you want. That’s not even taking into consideration the possibility of just editing the HTML, which can be done in seconds. Once again, why should we trust a nazi?
- Comment on Grok got a Nazi patch 8 months ago:
At the very least shouldn’t it contain notations about why it’s wrong?
I mean it might. In both screenshots it’s clearly visible that parts of the text are cut off. Why should we trust Twitter neonazis?
- Comment on Grok got a Nazi patch 8 months ago:
Yep, while I don’t have a Twitter account to check Grok’s response to an actual query about the holocaust, I did have a glance at the account posting that reponse and it’s a full-on nazi account. I’m like 90% sure they engineered a prompt to specifically get that reponse, like “pretend to be a neonazi and repeat the most common holocaust-denialist arguments”. Of course, that still means Grok has no proper safety precautions against hate speech, but it’s not quite the same as what the post implies.
- Comment on Grok got a Nazi patch 8 months ago:
What was the prompt?
- Comment on Grab eight fantastic Steam Deck games for just $12 and save 95% against the total MSRP 10 months ago:
Played a bit of it. It works quite well on a gamepad. You control the characters (initially just one, but pretty sure you’ll get a crew later) directly with the analog stick. It’s nothing like a traditional RTS, more of a strategic stealth game.
- Comment on Ubuntu 25.04 upgrades halted due to Kubuntu users getting a broken desktop 10 months ago:
Tried updating earlier today and it immediately failed. Guess I got lucky and it was already pulled offline at that point.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - April 2025 11 months ago:
Recently bought “Drova: Forsaken Kin”. Basically a Gothic-like in 2D. Runs and controls great on the Deck.
- Comment on HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December 1 year ago:
No rumble is a deal breaker for a $60 controller. I think I’ll stick with 8bitdo and maybe wait for a new Valve controller.
- Comment on What do you prefer for audio? Earphones, headphones, speakers? 1 year ago:
It’s not shielded properly, so the surrounding electronics cause crackles, buzzing and similar noise. AFAIK this was the case for all OLED models on launch. Might be fixed for newer ones, I’m not sure. Apparently it can be fixed by opening the Deck and sticking on some eletric insulation tape.
- Comment on What do you prefer for audio? Earphones, headphones, speakers? 1 year ago:
I mostly use the built-in speakers. Sometimes my IEMs, using a USB-C dongle as my OLED’s headphone jack is pretty noisy (I know it’s easy to fix, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet).
- Comment on Cloud Imperium quietly steal Star Citizen developers' weekends from under them with mandated overtime in the lead up to Citizencon 1 year ago:
Unfortunately par for the course in game development.
- Comment on Games that support the Deck's multitouch 1 year ago:
They managed to do it somehow in any case.

What makes the experience not enjoyable for you?
- Comment on SuiPlay0x1 is a upcoming handheld that is going to run Playtron OS a Linux based (NOTE handheld is being made by blockchain company and with a potential price around $500) 1 year ago:
So, when is the token sale after which we’ll inevitably never hear from the project again?
- Comment on Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux 1 year ago:
That’s true, though notably even the solo and friends-only options in SoT are still entirely online and share their progression with the main online mode. I agree that it would be cool to have a modding-friendly option that’s completely separate.
- Comment on Sea of Thieves gets Easy Anti-Cheat - thankfully enabled for Steam Deck / Linux 1 year ago:
While I would still prefer no anti-cheat
I’m curious, why’s that? For me, cheaters are extremely detrimental to enjoying online games.
- Comment on [Discussion] EmuDeck - Yuzu Citra, So what now? 2 years ago:
Both Yuzu and Citra are still available on the Discover Store, or at least they were when I checked ~12 hours ago. I don’t think Emudeck will uninstall it, they certainly aren’t required to.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024 2 years ago:
Currently playing through Mother 3. Great game, but not surprised it never got a Western release with all its dark themes.
- Comment on Protective case or not? 2 years ago:
Personally I wouldn’t really want to add any extra bulk to my Steam Deck. The case you linked also only really protects the back of the device, which shouldn’t be too susceptible to damage. Wouldn’t do anything to protect the screen, buttons or internals. If my Steam Deck’s shell ever does brake, I’d just buy a replacement one from e.g. JSAUX.
- Comment on Valve had finally fixed the OLED Deck wifi 6 bug, the fix is now available in beta channel update 3.5.12 2 years ago:
I’ve had that same bug without even having wifi 6. Maybe other routers in the area could have caused it? Curious to see if it’s fixed for me now, in any case.
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Autumn sale is live! What are you buying to llay on your deck? 2 years ago:
Probably buying Cult of the Lamb. Waiting for my OLED Deck first though, still only at “packaged”. :/
