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 4 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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??? 5 weeks 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!

Stop telling me not to huff the vent!
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 1 month 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 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
It did, and I think it did so very well
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 2 months 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 4 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 5 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 5 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 6 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 6 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 6 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 6 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 7 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!

I hope this isn’t too late, but don’t read anything about this game before you play it!
