I’m a huge fan of Mice Tea (nsfw), it’s more comic than game (it’s actually a choose-your-own-adventure) but I read it on my Deck <3

The thing that sold me on the Steam Deck: mods. Mods for minecraft, mods for skyrim, mods for stardew valley, mods for SteamOS itself. I can customize it like no other console, and I don’t even need to hack it first.
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 4 weeks ago:
Not enough people seem to get that the Steam Deck isn’t just a console that runs PC games, it’s also a console that runs mods. The first games I played on mine didn’t stretch its graphical capabilities, they were just games like Stardew and Minecraft that I could have played on the Switch, but only on the Steam Deck could I play them my way.
- Comment on [Discussion] What accessories do you use with your steam deck? 4 weeks ago:
Everything from this 2023 reddit post
- 65w usb charger
- usb-c cable
- slim usb-c hub from anker
- piece of string, to turn the box into a cradle
i also carry in my purse:
- 3d-printed microsd organizer
- small bag of usb adapters, for charging friends’ phones or connecting a flash drive, etc
- dualshock 4 controller, modded with back buttons, a usb-c port, and a phone holder
- slim mouse and folding keyboard
I used to carry a battery pack but its heavy and rarely used, so now I just carry a second usb-c cable and a c-to-c extender and hopefully i’ll be able to reach an outlet.
- Comment on How do you have your back buttons set up? 2 months ago:
bottom left is crouch, bottom right is jump. I use the same bindings with my modded dualsense.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - January 2025 2 months ago:
I bought the deck so I could play modded games on the go, and its been great for that! Lately I’ve been playing PlateUp with mods like Fry That, a difficult chicken wing themed menu that will test your ability to manage your kitchen pot stack.
- Comment on [help] Getting my first steam deck tomorrow 3 months ago:
Honestly the one thing I’d definitely do is set up Syncthing using a guide like this. It’s really convenient for games without cloud saves, and I also use it to sync my music library.
- Comment on [Discussion] Some good budget wireless controller for the Deck?? 11 months ago:
It’s my favorite controller for Steam, yeah! I have gyro aiming set up in minecraft; right trigger half pull enables gyro-to-mouse, and left touchpad pulls up a bunch of menu hotkeys.
- Comment on [Discussion] Some good budget wireless controller for the Deck?? 11 months ago:
If you want a budget controller with lots of features, go on ebay and get a used Dualshock 4 (PS4 controller). It’s got a touchpad and gyro so you can do some interesting stuff with it.
- Comment on What games do you use the pads with? 1 year ago:
right pad for mouse, left pad for hotkeys, all the way. Great for games that use the entire left half of the keyboard.
- Comment on is there an alternative to joy con for steam deck? (or pc in general) 1 year ago:
I’m in the same boat. I’ve looked around and there really isn’t anything. You could buy some third-party joy-cons but you’ll have the same issues.
Workaround for now is to make sure you have line of sight between the joy-con and the steam deck. Their reception is fine when unobstructed.
- Comment on People who got a Dualsense Edge for Steam Deck, how would you rate it? 1 year ago:
Sounds good. The main time I’ve found myself using the Rise4 paddles is for Minecraft. I’m already using both bumpers and both triggers for quick hotbar management, so I’ve got no way to jump or sneak while aiming. So I have L4 = Cross = Sneak, and R4 = Circle = Jump, and that covers all axes of motion.
I guess the difference is just convenience, in that case. With “real” paddles, I could program them in Steam Input and they’d remember their setting per-game, instead of me having to fiddle around with the remap buttons each time I want to enable/disable the paddles. But yeah, since it’s just a convenience, I’ll wait for a better price. Thanks for the sanity check.

I’ve seen it in “like new” condition on ebay for $150. Is that closer to what its worth?

- Comment on [Question] Does the steamdeck/emudeck support wireless multiplayer? 1 year ago:
Short version: probably not. Most emulators don’t support networked multiplayer.
If the game natively supports LAN play on PC, like Minecraft or Among Us, then yes, it’s possible to connect a Steam Deck to other machines via shared wifi or an ad-hoc network.
However, if the game was designed for a custom multiplayer protocol, like a GBA or 3DS game, then you’re out of luck. There are rare exceptions; some games are so popular that they have mods for network play, such as Project M for Super Smash Bros Brawl. But outside of those rare exceptions you cannot play emulated multiplayer over a network.
