- Comment on “It took 12 years of work to get here”: interview with Pierre-Loup Griffais, developer of SteamOS, the flagship OS of the Steam Deck 6 days ago:
Same, the dual-boot is there just in case but it gets less and less use as time goes by
- Comment on “It took 12 years of work to get here”: interview with Pierre-Loup Griffais, developer of SteamOS, the flagship OS of the Steam Deck 1 week ago:
There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities the other day talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you’re holding out until it’s perfect then you’ll be waiting forever!
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 week ago:
I’m always a fan of companies making something new rather than the same old same old (identical black rectangles being the classic example). Yeah a lot of them are terrible but I think they get points for trying!
- Comment on Is there a reliable low profile stand/dock? 1 week ago:
Stop telling me not to huff the vent!
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 2 weeks ago:
I think this is the one I have, but any web search for “gaming pillow” should find plenty of options
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve got something I can only describe as a “gamer’s breastfeeding pillow”, it’s a sort of U-shaped pillow which you rest your arms and Deck on. Handy for a long play session if your arms get tired.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
I guess it’s very dependent on what you’re running the app on, and what else that device is running
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t they stop selling the hardware because most users already have a phone, computer, or TV which can run the Steam Link app?
- Comment on Any hints on how to connect the steam deck to the tv 3 weeks ago:
I think most USB-C to HDMI adapters should Just Work™, I’ve had no problems with an old Mac one
- Comment on Well that was fast, refurbished OLED Decks are now available on Steam 5 weeks ago:
Psh, why would I want that when I already have the ultimate CRT handheld?
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Autumn Sale has started. What are you buying for your Steam Deck? 1 month ago:
Well I run !freegames@feddit.uk so I end up filling the backlog with freebies faster than I can play them anyway!
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Autumn Sale has started. What are you buying for your Steam Deck? 1 month ago:
A healthy attitude to take. Having a Deck is finally letting me get through the backlog, I’m not going to start adding to it again!
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 1 month ago:
Oh that’s cool, I’d not even considered using it to control a mouse
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 1 month ago:
They’re apparently worth a fair bit now if you’re looking to just get rid of it
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 1 month ago:
It did, and I think it did so very well
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 1 month ago:
What’s a two-stage trigger? Analogue until it’s all the way down, then a click (like the GameCube)?
- Comment on Gaming 2024 2 months ago:
My office chair is a gaming chair (seems fine), my gaming chair is the sofa and a big pile of cushions (and the bog, of course)
- Comment on Frame of Mind developer ended up coding the game on Steam Deck for a year 3 months ago:
Read the story, it wasn’t just for fun, it was their only working PC!
- Comment on Decky "Pause Games" plugin got rid of audio static I got resuming games from sleep 4 months ago:
Yeah I’ve had the ‘crackly audio on resume’ bug occasionally for two years now, that said I haven’t had it for a while. I thought they’d fixed it, but maybe I’ve just been lucky!
- Comment on NonSteamLaunchers is now available as a Decky Plugin 5 months ago:
I didn’t know Heroic did Amazon too, I’ve got Lutris set up for that
- Comment on NonSteamLaunchers is now available as a Decky Plugin 5 months ago:
Heroic has always been fine for GOG for me, but it just wouldn’t load any of my Epic library last time I tried to use it
- Comment on A Steam Deck Mini PC Using Real Hardware 5 months ago:
Yeah that makes sense. Do you know if there’s any more info about these projects? I’d love to know how they actually work under the covers but this post definitely seems aimed at people who already know a lot about the project!
- Comment on A Steam Deck Mini PC Using Real Hardware 5 months ago:
So… err… where do I put the disc?
- Comment on Turn Your Steam Deck Buttons Into Game Boy Ones With New Upcoming Button Set 6 months ago:
Is that just for the buttons? I did a one minute eBay search and you can get a pink replacement for every button and the whole shell for $40!
- Comment on Undertale? 6 months ago:
I hope this isn’t too late, but don’t read anything about this game before you play it!
- Comment on Valve has a new Steam Chart for the most played Steam Deck games 6 months ago:
Neat!
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 7 months ago:
You’ll get maybe ten to fifteen years out of it
That’s way longer than most consoles last before the servers get turned off
- Comment on What do you use the back buttons for? 7 months ago:
Yeah, ideal for any games where you don’t want to take your thumb off the right stick to press A/B/X/Y
- Comment on What do you use the back buttons for? 7 months ago:
I initially tried pressing the bit that’s not flat against the back by squeezing it and it really wasn’t comfortable for my hand, but pressing the bit that is flat against the back is way easier
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 7 months ago:
Almost every day, it’s really helping get through the backlog I’ve built up over the years!
