- Comment on Dino Crisis-esque horror Code Violet won't be coming to PC because the risk of "vulgar" mods isn't worth the "extra money" 1 day ago:
Game looks like shit anyways. The peoples faces felt like some late PS2 or early PS3 era cinematics. Just lifeless.
- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is Steam Deck Verified 3 days ago:
Most overrated game ever.
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 1 week ago:
Agreed. Been through the same issue and especially last time I built a pc I noticed this. Finding basic stuff that doesn’t have unnecessary components like glass or excess lights is difficult, much less in a size/shape/configuration that functionally works for what I want to do.
The visual aesthetics pc gamers are obsessed with have steered the supply and made it literally harder for those of us that don’t care about all that.
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 1 week ago:
I seriously do not understand PC gamer obsession with light and color pollution. Unnecessary lights are so fucking obnoxious to begin with, why optionally add MORE that don’t do anything?
Like super cool looking light up PC’s. I don’t get it beyond showing off. I’m looking at my SCREEN! Not the dock or the tower. Why the fuck would I want these distracting colors flying around polluting my space?
Ridiculous. My stuff has always been minimal lights, tape over other lights, black, inconspicuous as possible. Function over looks.
- Comment on How do you have your back buttons set up? 2 weeks ago:
Typically L1/R1 shoulder buttons or L3/R3 stick click buttons since those are difficult for me. The rear L4/R4 ones are easier to use. Depends on the game and which I am using the most.
R5 I frequently map to take screenshots depending on the game. Except in emulators R5 is fast forward. The rest of emulator settings are a left touchpad menu that I set up almost identically visually for all emulators as possible so it’s easier for me to hop between systems.
For more complex games, typically older ones where I have to get super creative (like Sacred 2), I use the back buttons totally differently as gameplay needs it and as is comfortable.
Sometimes I find the custom control tinkering as much fun as the game. Trying to find a setup that works for me, tweaking as I go for the first few hours of gameplay, and eventually I save as a template with detailed info in it so I never lose it. I use templates for saving because the other save options are less reliable.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
It’s absolutely needed. I don’t have any practical way to stream 4k from my PC to my TV. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a new dedicated Steam Link box for any streaming above 1080p.
The app only works so well on specific devices, and I just don’t have any simple plug and play answers that’ll work for me.
There’s absolutely a use case and market for Valve to bring it back. I still use mine a lot.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
I will note from experience the weight decrease with the OLED version was noticeable. So that was an improvement. I also have the official dock hardwired with ethernet so I tend to plug in for downloads. A lot of things have been fixed and improved since launch as well.
But you are right, it can be heavy, clunky, slow, and depending on what you wanna do, it may requiring a lot of tinkering. There’s also the occasional games that just won’t work at all or great on it, even with some tinkering.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
It is subjective, and I agree almost every game is better on a handheld.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
They barely did Steam Link (the little physical streaming box from like 2015) and ended production quickly and the remaining units were heavily discounted, and they still send updates for it.
It’s one of many reasons I like Steam and have moved more towards Steam gaming and away from Playstation.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
I’m home constantly. I have a nice gaming PC with a comfy chair AND a nice big screen TV.
I got the original asap and then upgraded to OLED asap. Both were absolutely worth it. I almost play on it more than anything. I even stream the more graphic heavy games from desktop to Steam Deck, and stream PS5 or PS Plus Streaming games to my Steam Deck.
Handheld gaming is just nicer for me. More comfortable. More personal. I can see everything better. Everything looks more crisp on it.
I have no real use case for one and am basically never mobile yet I use it like crazy.

Meanwhile people still play the few popularity games and it never ends.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2024 2 months ago:
Like most Ys games, they’re a trudge at first, and some graphical letdown, but they’re still great stories with great characters. I remind myself to power through the beginning each Ys game and eventually find myself loving it.

Ys X Nordics. Tons of fun.

- Comment on This modder-turned-developer shows how you can triple FPS when properly porting a PC game from consoles 2 months ago:
I played through a prior game where the same port developer had added local co-op. It was incredibly fun to play together.
Support this. This port developer is the best amd their efforts should be supported. The PC versions also look and play better, amd play well on Steam Deck. This is the best way to play these recent Ys games.

Disgusting. I have never and will never use my phone or a gaming console in the bathroom. I go to the bathroom, and then fucking leave. I’ll never understand sitting there forever.

Interesting. My Steam remote playing from my PC through my house is excellent. I do it to my Steam Link, I used to do it to my phone, and now I also do it to my Steam Deck.
It’s the Playstation-made remote play apps that suck on my PC or my phone.

Shit yeah, no wishlisting, no ignoring, no gifting. Its pathetic.
At least the original PS3 store was decent for its time, but they ruined that.

Playstation Remote Play is garbage no matter the location or setup. I’ve tried many over many years in multiple houses. Sony is horrible at this.
Chiaki for Steam Deck/PC and PSPlay app for Android are insanely better quality for remote playing Playstation.
- Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. 4 months ago:
Sales on PSN are appalling compared to Steam as well. Plus you can also get Steam sales on other sites like Fanatical.
Steam also has better remote play, and Steam custom controller profiles with nearly any controller are amazing.
Also nearly no backwards compatibility issues, whereas PS5 will only play/stream limited games from the past.

Cool. Well that is certainly a step forward. Thanks.
- Comment on Steam Families is here 4 months ago:
Have they solved the issue that multiple people can’t be playing at the same time, or the same game at the same time?
I don’t even do families. One of us just goes into offline mode for the time. Slightly obnoxious.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make 4 months ago:
Definitely. I go back to older games all the time for similar reasons. I also enjoy a linear story that just has a focus and ends eventually.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make 4 months ago:
Make cheaper games. Nobody is forcing yiu to make games that have too much content and take 600 hours to complete.
It’s like how movies aren’t 1.5 hours anymore. They’re always 3 hour bloated nonsense that overstay their welcome. Make it cheaper by telling a better shorter story with less. More isn’t better.
