- Comment on Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine? 5 days ago:
Yes, some games just let you select which controller is which, some of them you have to manually set it in the Steam Input settings before you launch the game.

The ONLY problem I have had with this, is the controller on the system itself defaults as controller 1, so SOME games it takes a little fiddling to use different controllers. But I have done this and it works great.
I’ve used a handful of different USB to HDMI docks, and I haven’t had any problems with any of them. I just use an anker dock that supports gigabit ethernet, 100W power passthrough, and HDMI, and it works just fine.

You can use just about any controllers using Bluetooth, I really like the wireless XBox controllers (only supported over Bluetooth) for this. But I’ve also used the Switch controllers and they work fine.
It’s really just a slightly expensive setup for what it is, but it’s also very portable, so…
- Comment on Don’t expect Fallout 1 and 2 remakes from Bethesda any time soon - Todd wouldn’t want to “paste over” their charm 2 weeks ago:
There’s a lot of quality of life issues with the first two games. Plenty of room to make just a couple UI changes while keeping the rest of the game the same.
Too bad they don’t have the original source to work from, because they’re basically going to have to remake it from the ground up just to make a couple minor changes, and that’s just not worth it.

Feels like this would make a good mid power home server, just buy the motherboard and 3d print a case for it.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 1 month ago:
It somewhat depends on the game, and the order that you pair things in.
I’ve run my steam deck, docked on the TV, with 2 Nintendo Pro controllers, 1 XBox controller, 1 Stadia controller, all running over bluetooth, and a fifth PS3 controller plugged in via USB. From what I understand the limit is 8 controllers, but I think the built in controller counts as one.
You can go into the settings and tell it which controller is which, but in the end, the game can override things and make it not work as expected. The only way to really know is to check on a game-by-game basis.

They basically already have one. The steam deck with the dock (though you have to provide your own controller.)
They’d certainly gain some performance improvements by building a dedicated steam machine, but it would also split the market for the steam deck, which the article already talked about as being a negative of the first iteration.
Dunno, I probably wouldn’t get a stationary steam machine over a mobile steam deck. Though being able to use Thunderbolt 4 for an eGPU on a steam deck would be a welcome enhancement, but that’s a whole different discussion.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024 1 month ago:
Would be nice, but the amount of dialogue updates would be daunting for a one person operation.

Stardew Valley — for the thousandth time (new patches = new farm)
- Comment on YouTube could roll out ads while videos are paused after “strong traction” in experiment 2 months ago:
Unless I’m following a tutorial, and pausing to look at the details. On a phone you can pause and pinch-zoom to get a better view.
Would be super annoying if an ad popped up right then.
- Comment on Counter-Strike 2 finally gets left-handed view models, seven months after launch 2 months ago:
That’s weird considering the original counterstrike was all mirrored left handed weapons.
- Comment on Framework’s software and firmware have been a mess, but it’s working on them 2 months ago:
They’re not wrong. It’s a good computer, but the company needs a bunch of improvements before it can go mainstream.
Really hoping they’re either successful, or make enough of an impact that other companies follow suit.
Maybe an upgradable Steam Deck? That would be amazing.
- Comment on Streaming services really want you to buy stuff while you watch TV 2 months ago:
Yeah, I’m definitely not going to be seeing any buy now ads when I watch TV.
- Comment on Favorite games for traveling? 3 months ago:
I’m old, so I like playing nostalgic NES era games. Super Mario, Double Dragon, Final Fantasy 1, Tetris classic, etc.
- Comment on Linda Hamilton says she wouldn't star in a 'Terminator' reboot: 'It's been done to death' 4 months ago:
It was great for what it was, but they kind of wrote themselves into a weird place at the end. Not sure what they’d even do with the story at that point.

I tried it out, the tutorial works at least.

Looks like Out of Space is unsupported on SteamDeck. Have you tried it there, or just on a PC?

Overcooked is a lot of fun and it’s local coop 2-4 players.
