- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 2 days ago:
I use these wired headphones. They are not noise cancelling, they aren’t even the new in ear style, no. They sit in your ear like old school ear buds, but built using modern technology.
They sound great, the bass is a little lacking but that can’t be helped. The benefit is that I can still hear my family around me, so if someone starts talking to me I don’t accidentally ignore them. They work great!

Did the same thing. Easy peasy
- Comment on An OLED Mod For The Original Steam Deck Is Being Made - Steam Deck HQ 1 month ago:
Agreed. Though I think it’s cool, it’s gonna be spendy.
If it could be less than $150, or better yet less than $100, I’d be in. Otherwise I might pass.

You’re welcome! Yeah all buds used to be that way, now they’re considered “cheap” and the in-ear kind are the new hotness. Better bass response and noise isolation. But the one school style is coming back, and those buds I linked are considered premium by some people 🤷♂️

On the SD I used to just use the built in speakers all the time. Literally years, I have a launch console.
But just two weeks ago I discovered they still make earbuds that sit in your ear instead of in your ear canal. Like, quality ones. And now that’s all I use.
They’re perfect because they sound great, but still let outside noise in, so if my wife starts talking to me I don’t just ignore her. But they’re also small and fit in the case, good for travel.
- Comment on Gyro input broken on HZD? My last playthrough it was working fine, now it seems impossible to make it work. Am I an idiot or did some configuration get broken in the last year? 2 months ago:
I’ve tried it as mouse, I’ve tried it with left trigger activateb and touch right stick activate and always active

I meant on purpose as in to remove gyro aim for some reason. Though I don’t think so, apparently forbidden west has native gyro support.
It’s ok if my old profile is invalid, but why is it now not possible to set up gyro again?

It looks like hers got nuked too, it’s on the “official” input scheme, and there’s no sign of my previous setup, and gyro is off.
I’m hoping this wasn’t a intentional change made by the have developer, that would make me pretty salty

Good idea! My last playthrough was on my wife’s account, this time I’m borrowing it on mine. I’ll try to go back and see what hers is.

- Comment on FSR 4 has been in development for 9-12 months already, and one of the biggest focuses is improving battery life for handhelds 2 months ago:
I’m reasonably excited. I like the steam deck, and I’m off the opinion that we don’t need an updated version just yet. A slower moving target for developers is best for long term game compatibility.
But eventually a new steam deck will arrive, and it will likely use the latest CPU/GPU, which will likely benefit from this new frame generation technology.
And perhaps some benefits will trickle down to the current steam deck, or maybe not 🤷♂️
But still, I’m optimistic for the future of mobile gaming.
- Comment on subs > dubs 1 year ago:
I have friends that do the same thing. It’s terrible. We were watching a movie I had already seen last night, and someone wanted the subs on. I couldn’t focus on the movie and I ended up playing on my phone. The subs kill me.
- Comment on [News] Steam Deck OLED review: much more than a screen improvement - Polygon 1 year ago:
It’s funny because I was at a point where I wasn’t playing games at all really, not on my big PC, phone, or anywhere.
I had pre-ordered the steam deck for my wife, and she used it a bit but when TotK came out that took all her attention playing on switch.
I had poked around on the deck, played a few games, but didn’t love using a controller instead of mouse and keyboard.
Then we had a gig where we had to sit in a car for 8 hours, and she convinced me to try playing horizon ZD. I had never played it, but I ended up really liking it. And the convenience of having it on the deck was great! I ended up playing it all the time, and beating it, and now I’m emulating BotW, playing it for the first time, and enjoying it.
Now I’ve gone full crazy, I’m emulating a couple dozen games, got a bunch of others installed and waiting. I upgraded my SSD to 2tb, replaced my fan, and am eyeballing that clear back with RGB.
My advice, if you can afford it, get it and just see what you think. You might like it!
Or, if you don’t like it, you can resell it. The value of these things seems to stay reasonably high. Though I imagine we might see a drop in price with the flood of LCD models about to hit the market.

So frustrating at times! Some of the harder puzzles are ridiculously convoluted
