- Comment on Mouse Clicks not registering in desktop mode 1 week ago:
I don’t know about clicking, except that with the trackpads I struggle to click correctly, but I think my Steam Deck always restarted in game mode.
I’d have to check again though…
- Comment on The sorry state of saving (mostly a rant) 1 week ago:
While I share your grippes, I would want to add two different ones:
-Auto saves are great, but not when the game doesn’t allow you to restart a level.
For instance, late in Metro 2033, I had almost no more air to go further. I was lucky enough to just have enough to keep going. Had it not been the case, I’d have probably had to start the game from scratch again as you can’t just restart a level or load a previous « safe » save
-Cross platform saves and achievements
My gaming PC is a Steam Deck, so it doesn’t have much power. That’s why I still buy my demanding games on Playstation 5 with the intent of getting them on Linux in the future. I fully understand, why I’d need to rebuy a copy of these games to play them on PC, but I don’t understand why it’s not possible to share a save between different systems. Same for the linked achievements.

Well I did everything through the app manager (Discover), so I don’t know how I could have made mistake…

I guess I just deleted DOSBox stagging/Boxtron after noticing that they were not needed…To be honest, I was a bit lost.
- Comment on How to get rid of 2 Boxtron errors I get every time I launch the desktop mode? 2 weeks ago:
How do you that? Should I reinstall Dosbox stagging just to get rid of these messages?

- Comment on Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone 3 weeks ago:
800-900 is what they can ask for it I guess. If it’s more it’s gonna get slow sales, which could be okay as Valve doesn’t really need it the way Sony needs a Playstation to sell.
I don’t think I’ll buy it on release as my Steam Deck is good enough for me alongside my Playstation. I might buy it after its first price drop (if it doesn’t increase instead).
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I’m happy to have a Playstation 5 alongside my Steam Deck for demanding games like Cyberpunk.
- Comment on How do you download your GOG games? 1 month ago:
Yeah but I don’t need so much speed as long as it’s faster than the 0.5 MB/s I’m getting for now.
- Comment on How do you download your GOG games? 1 month ago:
That’s what I’ve done for now, but I’d prefer avoiding the days of emule downloads where you needed 2 days to get an illegal copy of a 30 MB mzsic album😅
- Comment on How do you download your GOG games? 1 month ago:
Well I’ve contacted GOG’s support and we’ll see what they say. If it’s still like this in a week or two, I’ll just never order games again on GOG despite wanting to support them and really own my games.
- Comment on How do you download your GOG games? 1 month ago:
Around 0.5 mb/s through heroic and 250 kb/s thrrough Firefox from the GOG website.
But my connection is way faster with everything else…
- Comment on How do you download your GOG games? 1 month ago:
Well downloading on my desktop PC gives me the same slow speeds so it doesn’t help.
Especially because weirdly, turning off the computer meant starting at 0% again.
- Comment on How do you download your GOG games? 1 month ago:
Well I have only rebooted the Deck, but it also happens on my Linux pc’s.
And downloading Playstation games, Steam games, watching Peertube, watching Nba league pass, watching youtube or listening to music on Tidal works fine.
Directly from GOG or through Heroic, I got these really slow download speeds, so ot’s an isolated case.

To be honest, while he would be annoying if I watched 10 of his videos in a row, I don’t understand why hés so hated on Lemmy.
- Comment on RetroDECK Blog - Retro Gaming Flatpak - November 2025: Finally a fatpak 2 months ago:
I’m not an advanced user, bit the fact that retrodeck was a Flatpak I could easily install on my Steam Deck without installing Deckyloader was a big plus.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 2 months ago:
You saved me by talking about the drive not auto mounting after updates.
It turns out my problem this time was different than the last time as it was just the disk not auto mounting.
In the end, restarting my Steam Deck was enough. What an easy to solve and stupid problem!
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 2 months ago:
Yeah you’re right about it being portable first.
I sold our Switch to justify getting it on top of my Playstation and my PC’s, so I’m not really using it thé right way as it spends a good amount of time hooked to a big screen.
Yeah let’s hope the Steam Machine is gonna bring more stability when it comes to external hard drives.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 2 months ago:
I know and that’s what’s frustrating.
I’d just want to be able to redirect the Deck towards it or copy it on another hard drive to see if the problem is hardware related.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 2 months ago:
Well I wrote the message in anger after discovering that my games had disappeared again, so I haven’t spent much time investigating😅
Last time, in « storage » in Steam OS the hard drive would still appear, the space occupied by the games would still appear, but the games were nowhere to be found.
In desktop mode, I’d easily find them, but there was no way to show Steam OS the path to these games again.
I’ve tried many workarounds found on the web, but none worked.
I ended up reinstalling my whole library. But now it’s the same thing with Retrodeck on top (although retrodeck might be easier to just move as you can change the path to games)

- Comment on [Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame 2 months ago:
Yeah but it’s a problem for a guy looking for perfection like me😅
- Comment on [Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame 2 months ago:
It’s a shame that the c/steamdeck part can’t be renamed, but it’s also normal to encounter limitations from time to time…
Maybe it’s it’s the first community in need of such a change and it’ll be implemented at one point…
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - November 2025 2 months ago:
Mass Effect 2 for the second time years after playing it on Playstation 3
- Comment on How do you manage your Steam Deck as a family device? 3 months ago:
Family sharing is a great idea, but for now it only works with one of the two games I bought for my kids.
Street Fighter V and Sonic All Star Racing work flawlessly on my profile, but Sonic doesn’t work on my kid’s profiles, which is weird as it’s supposed to support family sharing.
- Comment on How do you manage your Steam Deck as a family device? 3 months ago:
Well for now all the kids games were bought on Steam so it’s easy to just use the Steam family.
I guess I’ll stick to Steam games for them and try to get verified ones so that there is almost nothing to set up.
On GOG I only have adult games or old kid games that my kids would probably find too old because it ain’t Fortnite anyway, but I wish it was easy to share things in a family through GOG.
And I know the games are DRM free so I can just copy them, but I wouldn’t want to have multiple installs on my Deck which already doesn’t have enough storage…
- Comment on How do you manage your Steam Deck as a family device? 3 months ago:
I don’t agree as that’s why you can switch profiles.
Also the Deck is cheap, but what’s the point of having 3 devices when only one person is really using it and the kids would just it once in a while.
We have one kitchen so we can have one Deck😅
