Nice!
- Comment on We Can Finally Play Xbox Game Pass Games on the Steam Deck 3 days ago:
Can we play windows store games though? I still have some that I haven’t rebought yet.
- Comment on What is your self hosted power draw? 1 week ago:
I use Home Assistant, and prefer Z Wave or Zigbee, as those are gaurenteed to not call home and not rely on a third party server. Third Reality makes some pretty good stuff. And yeah, it’d go between the wall and my server rack.
- Comment on What is your self hosted power draw? 1 week ago:
I am, and it does, that’s how I got the 300-400w estimate. It is connected to the NAS and shuts it down gracefully when power goes out. Wonder if the NAS can also read the power usage over that cable. Might just be easier to use a $15 zigbee plug though to get the data directly into Home Assistant.
- Comment on What is your self hosted power draw? 1 week ago:
About 300-400 watts. I should put it on a smart plug to track it over time. I have a NAS with 16 HDDs, an outdated super overkill switch that I should replace to save some power, and a few old laptops.

I’m excited for memories as well, but I’m not sure you’re using the phrase deal breaker correctly here haha.

- Comment on How do you monitor your servers? 2 weeks ago:
They’re in my attached garage. In the living room when it’s quiet I can hear them humming. Does that count?
- Comment on More Frame Questions Answered (Multitasking, Kb & Mouse, Emudeck, and Discord) 4 weeks ago:
I dunno. There’s already a separate Linux VR DB, as Proton doesn’t really do that for games that support flat-screen and VR. db.vronlinux.org. Unfortunately it isn’t kept that up to date, I requested American Truck Sim be added over a year ago now, and it still hasn’t been.
Anyway, as we see more and more enshittification (not that I would expect ProtonDB to enshittify any time soon) I’d rather my services and websites to be more spread out as compared to all on one website. I can type in one URL to check on flat-screen games and a different one to check on Steam Frame compatibility, it’s no big deal.
- Comment on Getting the most out of your Steam Controller: Grip Sense 2 months ago:
Do you ever want to use a desktop PC or play RTS style games without a mouse and keyboard? Then yes, 100%, it’s the best thing for it. Otherwise it just seems to be a really solid controller.
- Comment on GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux 2 months ago:
It’s worked more reliably for me, though it also isn’t without it’s issues.
- Comment on The Steam Frame's "Great on Frame" Page Is Now Live 3 months ago:
Huh? Doesn’t the Index still work? Other standalone options exist now that are better in many ways, if that’s your complaint.
- Comment on Steam machine prices are live 3 months ago:
Good(?) news! You can spend almost that much for the 2TB with a controller.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Honestly I don’t even blame them for underestimating demand. Based on comments here and my own personal intuition, I would’ve guessed that it would’ve sold great, to a very niche audience.
Maybe it has more widespread demand than expected, those track pads make it amazing for any couch PC usage, gaming or not, and many existing SteamDeck owners like myself are already aware of this.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
That’s 100% the way to do it. Wonder why they aren’t doing that again. Maybe they’ll open it up.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Yeah, I mean, at this point valve has proved to be trustworthy. I wouldn’t mind placing a pre-order or backorder with them.

It’s because the SteamDeck 2 is on the way right?? Right???
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 8 months ago:
I’d also agree that there isn’t a lot of value to the product, I know I wouldn’t buy one. I mainly just wanted to point out that there is definitely room for innovation and such in the space, and a phone controller that’s as nice as the SteamDeck controls doesn’t exist.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 8 months ago:
I mean, no phone controller has the same layout as the steam controller. If Valve could implement the software to support steaminput when streaming games to a phone from your PC or a cloud PC, that’d be kinda cool.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 8 months ago:
The SteamDeck also has a touchscreen. If you’re using your phone to stream games from your PC, I’d imagine that track pads would be much better, similar to with the SteamDeck.
I personally have no use for playing games on my phone with a controller, that’s why I bought a SteamDeck, but there could definitely be room for innovation, both in hardware and software, especially if you take streaming into account. A good steam-input supported controller could turn your phone into a killer game-streaming machine.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 8 months ago:
Why could a phone controller not have innovations such as those? You mentioned track pads yourself.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 8 months ago:
So do normal controllers. So did gaming handhelds. So do PCs. So do VR headsets. I’m not sure what you’re point is.
- Comment on Can the Steam Deck/Machine also be used for streaming? 10 months ago:
The Steam Controller is going to be an amazing way to navigate a desktop environment via the couch. I’m honestly as excited for it as the other hardware. The track pads are amazing.
- Comment on It's a feature. 10 months ago:
The Crew series still exists, 2 and Motorfest.
- Comment on It's a feature. 10 months ago:
I’ve been on Linux for nearly a year now, and the biggest losses for me personally have been GTA Online and The Crew series.

- Comment on Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st! 10 months ago:
That’s what I meant. Haven’t had 64GB in my deck for a long time.
- Comment on Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st! 10 months ago:
Or the lowest GB version and upgrade - though the 16GB is no longer available, so I’m guessing that’s less economical than it was.
- Comment on Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point 11 months ago:
I haven’t used consoles for gaming in so long I forgot about that haha, good point.
- Comment on Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point 11 months ago:
You probably do have a point there. The SteamDeck did manage to make it to the point where people that couldn’t give a rats ass about Linux have picked them up, so I’d say it’s possible, though maybe not likely.
