  As I understood it, they clarified that we’re not allowed to call for violence and stuff like that. The manifesto itself is fine.

  I thought they already did? When I was a kid I wasn’t able to talk to people until I was 13, so I made a new account and said I was older.

  I year or two ago I tried using it for Bnet and Diablo 2 but it had a lot of issues… I’ll have to give it another try

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What have you been playing lately?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…

  I just modded my Switch, and tomorrow I’m gonna try to get Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom dumped and working on my Deck

  Water is wet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Some good budget wireless controller for the Deck??⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  8bitdo Lite 2

  I can vouch for this one. I use it at work to play Pokemon on my phone without having to hold my phone. I just keep the controller in my jacket pocket lol

  Yeah lol, I love markdown formatting but I never understood why double line spacing was necessary

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to Steam Deck and PC gaming, I'm looking for game recommendations...⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you like platformers, I highly recommend Pizza Tower.

  The platforming is as if Wario Land and Sonic had a baby. And it’s more refined than both of those games. The art is amazing, and it’s reminiscent of old cartoons like Ren & Stimpy and Courage the Cowardly Dog. And don’t even get me started about the music, there’s some absolute bangers in there and the tracks add a lot to every level.

  Cannot second this recommendation enough. 90% of what I use my Deck for is playing old Nintendo games.

  You can use EmuDeck to add all of your ROMs to your library as if they were Steam games. It uses RetroArch, so you can also enable achievements for pretty much every game by logging into retroachievements.org

  Your punctuation and the lack thereof gave me an aneurysm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help troubleshooting dead steam deack controller⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I sometimes have this exact same thing happen to me too (including the touch screen + volume/power buttons working fine), but only on the desktop environment… And for me it gets fixed when I restart the system

  I believe EmuDeck was the source of the problem, but if you factory reset the system that shouldn’t be an issue… So having that in mind, this smells like a hardware issue. (I’ve done absolutely no research, though, so take that with a grain of salt. I just thought it was interesting that our Decks had the same symptoms.)

  Huge props for the unexpected old phone exhibition. It was very interesting, thank you :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game Recommendation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  (1) Get EmuDeck if you like playing old games on emulators. It’s free, and very worth it. It takes a little bit of setting up but it’s mostly automatic, and it sets up each ROM as a non-Steam entry on your Deck library.

  (I have mine set up with RetroAchievements.org so that I can have achievements while I play SM64 and OoT. It’s very cool.)

  (2) I recently picked up Tunic, and so far it seems like a pretty good before-bed kinda game. It’s like Zelda 1/LttP.

  (3) Or if you want a good new platformer, I recommend Pizza Tower or Celeste. They’re both immaculate platformers with little to no penalty for failure. You can’t die in Pizza Tower (only lose points), and Celeste only sends you back to the beginning of the screen on death so you really only lose 10-30 seconds of progress. Both are very easy to learn, with a crazy high skill ceiling. Also, PT has insanely good music, and if you like old cartoons like Ren and Stimpy you’ll love the art. I can’t recommend that game enough.

  Both these games are tied for my favorite 2D platformers, and both work on Deck out-of-the-box, no setup.
