- Comment on What games do you use the pads with? 9 months ago:
There’s a community profile for Monster Hunter rise that maps the quick access wheel to the right touch pad really well. I wish I could do whatever that guy did but for world as well. It’s really useful.
- Comment on Grindy games on Deck 9 months ago:
Yeah I couldn’t have done it alone. My friend did the calculation and I did the planet hunting. We’d team up to pinpoint optimal resource points and constructing their facilities. However, since he owned some facilities and I owned others, we could only access them all when we were both online. Also, only he had the recipe for some parts and I the others, so we had to do some passing back and forth to complete the process. We only every did it once and realized we probably wouldn’t need to do it ever again with all the money we got out of it.

No mans Sky is pretty good. My buddy and I teamed up and make a series of production facilities across a network of planets in order to provide enough materials to manufacture the most expensive items in the game.
There was no reason to do that considering how charitable people are, but we just did it anyway.
You can also grind for the best ships and gear and stuff, or build a base on a planet or on a space freighter.

I got Ys I & II origins for deck, along with Oath and maybe Memories (III and IV) back in the holiday sale to get myself into that series. I’m somewhere in the middle of II, possibly near the end, but I find the world so endearing and the bump system fun in a weird, arcadey way. 1 was super short, and the boss fights aren’t always fun for me because I don’t like bullet-hell stuff, but I can see myself riding it through.
I got curious because did the same with the trails games (currently finishing up Cold Steel II) and haven’t been able to put it down.
I’m also curious about the dragon quest games.
- Comment on Noob Question: What's your process for backing up your Steam Deck? 10 months ago:
I am looking at Clonezilla. I'm a little worried because 1) I do not have a keyboard, and 2) there's a glitch on my system that requires me to log into Steam every time I restart the system or switch between desktop and gaming mode. It started when I installed Daggerfall Unity using a tutorial that instructed me to add a shortcut link to my steam folder to my home folder and call it "steam", which apparently broke something, and I don't think there's any way to fix it short of a system restore. I don't know Clonezilla would end up preserving that glitch, but I'd rather it not.

- Comment on [PSA] Firewatch, one of the best walking sims, is on a -90% sale right now! Only $1.99 is an incredible steal. Runs great on Deck. 10 months ago:
It sounds like this game might be a bit too intense for me then.
- Comment on [Discussion] Emudeck - Great Emulator on the Steam Deck 10 months ago:
You use your own rom and run it with Ship of Harkinian, which allows you add right stick camera controls, better button mappings, and mods for things such as graphical enhancements.
I don't know how easy it is to find specific community controller configs on deck, but I made one called "Ocarina of Time - Harkinian Deck: C-button Radial, Config Toggle".
Basically it works like this:
Right touch pad = "C-button" radial menu
- Remaps LB, Y, RB, and L3 to a C-button-themed radial menu as Left, Up, Right, and Down respectively.
(You will need to remap your C-buttons away from the right stick in Ship of Harkinian if you want to use it for camera controls. You can just use the radial menu to accomplish that.)
Select Button = "Config mode" toggle
- Summons the Ship of Harkinian Config menu.
- Changes the right analog, touch-pad, and triggers to mouse mode.
- Migrates the C-button radial system to the left touch pad so you can still use it to remap the c-buttons.
- Pressing the button again dismisses the config menu and returns the game to normal "Game mode" controls.
(Don't close the game with the config mode controls active or you will be stuck with config controls the next time you start the game. Be sure to quit the game with the game mode controls active.)
I made a couple tweaks, so I don't know if those are reflected in the community config file I shared.

I would just like to throw in that that PC port of OoT is maybe the best way to enjoy that game on deck. The only downside is no retro achievement support.
- Comment on (TRUTH) New year and reflection time for past 6 months 10 months ago:
I’m definitely still in a honeymoon phase with my OLED Deck, my first. My poor ps5 would have started collecting dust if it weren’t for how amazing Chiaki is.
I’ve used Mac for work, and Sony, Nintendo for gaming since forever, so deck is my first gateway into a lot of classic PC/Microsoft gaming history. Right now I’m playing Star Wars: Dark Forces on the force Engine with the intention to play through the series. I have Daggerfall Unity installed as well, and I will be able to play Morrowind and Oblivion for the first time. Same same goes for the Halo series.
I can also finally play some games online with friends who don’t appreciate consoles as much as I do.
- Comment on Valve had finally fixed the OLED Deck wifi 6 bug, the fix is now available in beta channel update 3.5.12 10 months ago:
I had this issue. I shut the thing completely off and set it aside for a while cause I was so annoyed with it. Next time I turned it on, everything was fine like nothing happened. Linux is f-ing weird.
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED now supports HDR Remote Play from PS5, unlike PlayStation Portal 11 months ago:
I actually have a backbone gathering dust. I think it might have seen more use if I wasn’t using an iPhone mini with a tiny screen and bad battery.
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED now supports HDR Remote Play from PS5, unlike PlayStation Portal 11 months ago:
How can I go about learning what any of this means and how to look for it?
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED now supports HDR Remote Play from PS5, unlike PlayStation Portal 11 months ago:
Remote play in the house is excellent with Chiaki. I know it works across the web as well, but I can’t figure it out. It just doesn’t work and I have no idea if it’s the way I set up chiaki, the way I set up port forwarding, or the internet connection from which I’m attempting to connect. I wonder if the Portal has these issues, because not having to deal with any of that is actually a pretty solid selling point.
- Comment on The amount of chips a fast food place serves. I had to throw all this away because I was full. They should serve smaller portions. 11 months ago:
Well I usually don’t eat at McDonald’s, but I do settle for appetizers more often than I would like to.
- Comment on The amount of chips a fast food place serves. I had to throw all this away because I was full. They should serve smaller portions. 11 months ago:
I actually sympathize. My wife and I are small, so when we eat out, it’s usually just an appetizer and a main dish that we share, and then we still need to ask for a box.
My friends love eating out with me because half of my food usually makes its way to their plate and sometimes they get to finish my beer.
Here’s a tip. Take those fries home and stick them in the fridge. Fry them up in an omelette later.

Bro.
How about giving people the option to pay less for smaller portions? Is that not allowed for some reason? I’m a small guy, and every restaurant I visit in the west pretty much charges me double and gives me twice as much food as I could possibly handle. It sucks when traveling, because I can’t exactly just take it home. - Comment on Just received my Steam Deck OLED. The screen looks so good. 11 months ago:
It stands out more in the dark, where black pixels are actually off. Things that appear on screen look like they’re just foaling in a black void.
- Comment on Steam just lost my sale. 11 months ago:
Honestly, I think the anti-glare might have been fine. I got the 512 because it was cheaper and I had heard some of the concerns about the vibrancy of the anti-glare. In retrospect, I doubt I would have cared that much. Plus the extra storage and dual case would are a pretty compelling value proposition as well.
- Comment on Steam just lost my sale. 11 months ago:
I just bought a 512 OLED here in Europe and it was unreal how easy it was to buy. I logged in an hour after sales went live, put in my information and clicked buy. That’s it. Estimated delivery in 3-5 business days, and I honestly don’t know if I actually trust that.
