I saw that shit a single time before I shut it down. You have far more patience than I.

It was $34 I’m waiting for options to pop up so I can buy puts and make money on it dropping to $25 over the next 6 weeks.
- Comment on Nearly 30 Percent Of The Top 100 Steam Deck Games Aren’t Verified 1 month ago:
I own a nice gaming PC. I just never really use it now that I have my SD. Veing able to game anywhere and immediately stop and start my game back up by just tapping the power button is exactly what I needed for gaming. As a “responsible” adult I don’t have a lot of undisturbed straight lengths of time to game at the pc, and if I only have 30 minutes, it’s like it isn’t even worth trying.
- Comment on Linda Hamilton says she wouldn't star in a 'Terminator' reboot: 'It's been done to death' 2 months ago:
There’s been a bunch of “original” robot rampage movies. Just the rest weren’t named Terminator because they were different movies, so what are you asking?
The first movie would still be great looking and awesome if they would fix the stop motion of the robot, which at this point is actually pretty cheap and easy to do, but there’s no money to be made that route. If you want a “Terminator” movie, the only option is a remake of the original. The sequels and spin offs and shows past T2 all kinda sucked, and it’s been 40 years. It wouldn’t be the worst thing to remake. Just sucks that Arnold couldn’t be the t-1000 now unless they go all ai/cgi on it, which I really hope Arnold would be absolutely against.

Don’t wish too far down the line. After the Original author passed away and his son continued on in the series…well let’s just say the apple rolled a bit after it fell from the tree.

Well heck…now that we’re at like 50/50 I’ll probably wait, then.
- Comment on Blue Eye Samurai is the best thing Netflix has done in years 3 months ago:
Thanks.
- Comment on Blue Eye Samurai is the best thing Netflix has done in years 3 months ago:
Does it have a conclusion of sorts for season 1? I’m not interested in getting involved with an ever cliffhanging show that Netflix will cancel before conclusion.
- Comment on [Game] MONSTER HUNTER RISE adds new DRM that breaks it on Steam Deck 3 months ago:
It looks like the cracked version takes more steps to get it to work, though. Downloading extra files and adding the exe to firewall and such to keep it from phoning home.
- Comment on [Game] MONSTER HUNTER RISE adds new DRM that breaks it on Steam Deck 3 months ago:
I can do these all day in windows, but im not familiar enough with proton to make it work on steam deck. There any useful guides that could show how to do it on SD? I half just want to out of spite, rather than for wanting to play the game.
- Comment on [Game] MONSTER HUNTER RISE adds new DRM that breaks it on Steam Deck 3 months ago:
It doesn’t really matter, my guy.

I just really like the track pads on the SD. They’re too useful to not have.
- Comment on As of January 2024 - 75 of the Top 100 most played Steam games work on Steam Deck 4 months ago:
Installing windows is lame and ruins the console like experience that helps make deck popular. Also, the anti cheat won’t be solved until Linux anti cheat is used by the games and no sooner. That won’t happen until a lot more people are on Linux.
- Comment on As of January 2024 - 75 of the Top 100 most played Steam games work on Steam Deck 4 months ago:
Almost all the non working games are due to anti cheat or are online only games. Two aren’t anti cheat, but also aren’t games. In other words there’s only like 3 games that are single player that don’t work.
- Comment on Help troubleshooting dead steam deack controller 4 months ago:
Inside there’s a long white ribbon cable that runs across the deck that goes over the top of the battery. I’d start with checking that cable for damage or corrosion and re-seating the connection at both ends. Unplug the battery first. If that doesn’t work I’d just go for re-seating every cable you can, looking for water damage, and making sure all the screws holding the boards down are snug.
- Comment on Steam Deck keeps forgetting my SD card is already formatted and has games 4 months ago:
You should already have this solved by logic. You swapped steam decks and it’s still doing this, and you’ve seen virtually no one ever complain about this with their steam decks.
It’s the card. If you haven’t already, I would give reformatting it a try. If it ever does it again after that, throw it away.
- Comment on Why do it 5 months ago:
That is not what it looked like at all, really. But yes. Dude super fucked up, and got an entire cave permanently shut down.
- Comment on Steam is giving me options for a return and I'm hoping for advice 5 months ago:
Go for the OLED. Hands down. The battery life is better. The weak points (bumper buttons) are improved. The cooling is better/quieter. The APU is sort of better. I’ve heard the screen looks much better. The screen is slightly larger.
I’m happy with my SD (512GB with the anti glare glass screen), but I’ve had it for over a year now. If I had the option of sending it back and paying another $175 to get the oled I’d do it immediately. I’m not sad about it or anything, but if the option was there, I’d definitely take it.
- Comment on [Discussion] I think that the number of Deck users will skyrocket after Xmass. 5 months ago:
I agree, but if I were to get a new one it would have to be the etched glass version again, and my personal “worth it to do it” value is no more than about another $175 (tax, yo). So if I can’t get $500 then I’d be happy to just keep my LCD one.
- Comment on [Discussion] I think that the number of Deck users will skyrocket after Xmass. 5 months ago:
Mine is for sale, but I doubt it will sale. I’m only willing to sale it for $500 (it was the 512gb model) and if I can’t get that for it, I’m keeping it. I really doubt it will sale at that price, but oh well.
- Comment on [@GamersNexus] They Changed Everything: Valve Steam Deck OLED vs. LCD Tear-Down 5 months ago:
The problem with that is lending money to a business that needs money also means you’re risking if the business fails that you’re never getting your money back. No one wants to risk their $100,000 in hopes of getting back $108,000 a year from now.
- Comment on [@GamersNexus] They Changed Everything: Valve Steam Deck OLED vs. LCD Tear-Down 5 months ago:
Seems like a fine idea on paper. Someone has a real good thing going and other people can help bankroll them to expand and share whatever it is all across a country instead of just one little area.
In practice it turned into a hellscape.
- Comment on [@GamersNexus] They Changed Everything: Valve Steam Deck OLED vs. LCD Tear-Down 5 months ago:
I’ve been repairing crap like this for decades. I haven’t done the steam deck battery yet but already know an easy enough way to get it done.
Use a plastic playing card, and you may want to cut one in half so it isn’t as wide. Get a shallow bowl of 90 or higher iso alcohol to dip a bit of plastic playing card into.
Dip card, hold deck upside down so no access alcohol goes down into the lcd screen (avoids slight chance of issues) and start wedging the card under the battery to eat and peel away the adhesive. Just keep dipping and pushing the card under.
- Comment on [@GamersNexus] They Changed Everything: Valve Steam Deck OLED vs. LCD Tear-Down 5 months ago:
The benefits of having decent people running a privately owned company is pretty astounding. Once you go public and have a board that legally has and wants to make as much money as possible, it seems like things are sure to go to shit.

One was mine, but I just put great condition. I doubt it will actually sell for what I’m asking, but I’ll be cool with it either way.
- Comment on The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on 5 months ago:
Why are you trying to compare a computer to a walled garden Nintendo switch? Hell, you’re making my argument for me.
- Comment on The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on 5 months ago:
So sell it. They’re pretty easy to sell used.
- Comment on The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on 5 months ago:
Why hasn’t anyone else made one to compete that’s cheap? Because, Mr.Author…No one else can make their money back by selling software.

Take them apart and put the buttons in whatever order you want, dude. You’re being needy.
