You can point GameNative to any downloaded exe, I got it working with a binary I downloaded from itch
- Comment on Steam Controller appreciation post + second BT pairing slot added 2 weeks ago:
Steam page says
Your estimated order availability: 2027
So I’m not holding my breath
- Comment on Steam Controller appreciation post + second BT pairing slot added 2 weeks ago:
How long did you have to wait to get your steam controller? I signed up for it at the initial announcement and still haven’t been told I can buy one yet
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 3 weeks ago:
Hmm… well technically yes, I guess you could play a VR game which doesn’t involve any movement, but all the ones I’ve played did. I’d say it’s a pretty core part of VR!
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 3 weeks ago:
No as in the physical amount of moving about involved in a VR game compared to sitting still with a controller
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 3 weeks ago:
For me it was the activity level of the game!
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 3 weeks ago:
I’ve not played any VR for a while, but I remember it being physically exhausting enough that I think my own battery would be empty before the Frame’s

I think this has fixed it! You’re a wizard!

No games seem to work

- Comment on HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld 1 year ago:
I’m not going to buy one but I’m always interested to see what they can make
- Comment on How to setup auto clicking with mouse 1 year ago:
I use Solaar on my desktop to remap gestures for a Logitech mouse, I would imagine it should work on a Deck too
- Comment on New Junk-Store update (install and play Epic Games + GOG on the Steam Deck) 1 year ago:
Heroic Launcher does them both too, probably a bit less slick though
- Comment on What are some light-hearted, feel-good, comforting games to play on the deck? 1 year ago:
Doronko Wanko is a short free game with a funny name about being a dog and making a mess
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 1 year ago:
The Steam Deck can behave like a Switch; if you want to stick to just Steam games with a big ✅ verified icon then it will probably be a similar experience, just with a different library of games (and better sales).
The Steam Deck can also be a full PC; you can plug in keyboard, mouse, screens, whatever, and use it to replace your laptop/desktop if you really want.
The middle ground is that the Steam Deck can be an incredibly versatile gaming machine. I can play the verified Steam games, I can usually play the non-verified games, I can install Heroic/Lutris and install all my free Epic/GOG/Amazon games with minimal tinkering, I can install emulators and run all my old Nintendo games at better resolutions and frame rates, and if I really feel like tinkering then I can install whatever else I want and try to get it working, but I always have all the reliable games to fall back on if I can’t!

Do you guys not use the case it came with?

Since I started !freegames@feddit.uk I’ve not spent a penny in the Steam sales, unfortunately my backlog is now about five times as long.
- Comment on PC game development surges in Steam Deck handheld era — But don't count Xbox and PlayStation out 1 year ago:
My thoughts exactly, it’s much easier and cheaper to make your first game for PC
- 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 year 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 year 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 year 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 year ago:
Stop telling me not to huff the vent!
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 1 year 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? 1 year 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 Well that was fast, refurbished OLED Decks are now available on Steam 1 year 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 year 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 year 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 year 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 year ago:
They’re apparently worth a fair bit now if you’re looking to just get rid of it
