- Comment on I’ve already been using a “Steam Machine” for months, and I think it’s great 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s good the machine is not super powered. If people stop buying the latest gpus so often, then devs will need to optimize their games or target weaker hardware.
I really want this to be the case.

I’ve been running Bazzite on a Framework Desktop 64gb and it’s a beast of a little machine.
Honestly way more expensive than I would ever recommend for anyone who’s using it solely for gaming. You could make something better but bigger for less, or you could build something good enough and small for way less depending on the performance you’re trying to hit. But if you’re in that sweet spot where you want a lot of power in a tiny package, it won’t disappoint. You’d be hard pressed to find anything as close in performance and size for a lesser price.

It auto updated for me on Steam Deck and Bazzite, so if you’re using either of those it should be.

Wait. Why would we pay for this??

Any Bluetooth mouse already works.
- Comment on HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld 8 months ago:
HP typically makes garbage nowadays, so I dunno how many people are clamoring for them to make a handheld.
- Comment on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is now Steam Deck Verified 9 months ago:
Yeah it’s still looking pretty rough, but I guess it is playable. Drops below 30 quite regularly and relies heavily on upscaling. But it looks like a better experience than FF7 Rebirth is on steam deck.
For handheld, I’d live with it if I couldn’t stream from a PC for whatever reason. But if playing docked on a monitor or tv, this wouldn’t cut it for me.
- Comment on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is now Steam Deck Verified 9 months ago:
They’ve been updating it regularly and it’s in a much better state today than it was at launch.
- Comment on FF7 Rebirth: Valve Messes Up with The Verified Rating Again 10 months ago:
I definitely get down to 22 fps in towns on the OG Steam Deck with default settings.
But lowering all settings to low and Dynamic Resolution to max 100 min 66 gets me back to 30fps everywhere
- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is Steam Deck Verified 10 months ago:
Ok, that’s pretty exciting! I’ll have to make a ton of room on my steam deck though lol
- Comment on Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS at CES 2025 video by Verge 10 months ago:
Well it looks like the price difference also comes with a bigger hard drive, so that helps soften that blow a bit. But TIL, I wasn’t aware of variable pricing based on device performance.

That sounds pretty in line with licensing costs for windows
- Comment on Deck to LG TV 1 year ago:
I got a CX and it works just fine on that.
Have you tried connecting to another display just to see if it’ll work?

It’s about the data. It’s always about the data.

Yeah I’m not going to hold my breath. They might just add the EA app back in after an update.

- Comment on 1 year ago:
Helldivers 2 on higher difficulties has me hitting 15fps sometimes. It’s so damn tough to play on steam deck because of the quality, but it’s honestly amazing it runs half decent at all.
- Comment on [Game] Fallout 4 Loses Graphical Options on Steam Deck From "Next-Gen" Update 1 year ago:
Tbh, part of being steam verified requires booting directly into the game and not going to a launcher for the game. So this does get them over that hump.
I’m happy the options are still available at least, as somebody who’s currently using my steam deck to play Fallout 4 at 1080p on a TV, I need to be able to modify the settings when moving between playing on the device and on a TV.

I almost feel like making shitty mspaint versions of popular Nintendo game box art and upload them to steamgridb to use unironically for my library.
- Comment on [Game] Fallout 4 Will be Steam Deck Verified With New Update 1 year ago:
I’d hope so. It ran fine before.
- Comment on Introducing Steam Families 1 year ago:
Doesn’t work for me. I tried this with my little brother after setting up family sharing. He used to be able to play my games on his account when I wasn’t playing. Now he can’t even do that anymore. Family sharing sucks now.

The game looks to be a vampire survivors clone. Nothing wrong with that, just wanted to provide context to those who didn’t click through to the article.

Should be an extension called Power Tools
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Deck Emulators [2 Weeks Later] 1 year ago:
Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu still only runs at 20fps most of the time. But it’s honestly not that bad, still quite playable. Super Mario Wonder on Yuzu also seems to run flawless if you disable SMT using Power config through Decky.

I find that the steam version of retroarch doesn’t have near the core selection as the flatpack version

- Comment on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - Review Thread 1 year ago:
So my assumption about this being a Far Cry on Pandora was pretty much spot on. Sounds like it’s too buggy for its own good too.

Mesh* it’s impressive you got it wrong in two different ways lol.
A mech router would be something to be feared.
