- Comment on Steam Winter Sale 2024 Has Begun! 1 day ago:
Man my backlog got so big these days, not even a steam deck can finish it anytime soon.
I think I will slow down and enjoy games that I already own instead, like back in the simplier time. (Took me months to finish SMG2, but I loved every bit of it)

Hell yeah! Both DLC are so cheap on GOG during black Friday .
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Autumn Sale has started. What are you buying for your Steam Deck? 3 weeks ago:
You’re in for a treat! They just released boss rush too!
- Comment on Sony is reportedly working on a PS5 portable 3 weeks ago:
Nice! Heat up the handheld war and give us innovative design and more choice.
- Comment on JSAUX released their first White 6-in-1 Docking Station for handhelds like Steam Deck 3 weeks ago:
This is giving me Wii vibes. That thin dock design really remind me of it.

Witcher 3, Just finished the main story. And boy, CDPR really nailed the story/ character writing in this game. Looking to grab “Hearts of stone” & “Blood and Wind” DLC next GOG sale.
What an amazing 50hr time sink!

Nine Sols!
Who would’ve guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck’s speaker is just so satisfying.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games have you been playing on your deck? - September 2024 3 months ago:
Elden Ring!
And man this game is so long but fun. I just can’t help myself playing this game everywhere. Somehow getting my ass kicked, and winning a fight or two time to time, kills time so efficiency. - Comment on [Help] Steam Deck settings for dummies 3 months ago:
720p upscaled to 1080 looks really good, and is a nice balance for performance.
Some TV don’t play nice with the fps caps, try uncapping the framerate if you don’t mind some fps fluctuations.
Rock&Stone btw.
- Comment on Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine? 5 months ago:
I can only speak for Wii emulation, it works great.
OLED deck have excellent Bluetooth compatibility with WiiMotes, I can hook up 4 of them using emulated bluetooth mode. (Can’t get passthru mode working tho)
Some configuration beforehand such as changing all four controller slots into “real WiiMote” & enable continues scanning is all you need to do.
Just a side note. Switching between handheld and docked mode is a dull process. In order to switch input source you have to go to desktop mode every time.
- Comment on SteamOS 3.6.6 Preview for Steam Deck has fixes for ELDEN RING, system memory leak and more 5 months ago:
The Elden Ring one actually isn’t so rare. It feels more like a 10%. Every time I boot up the game I half expect it to crash.
- Comment on Took the plunge after 2 years, and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one 6 months ago:
Really cool! Love to see some modding. And wow, that full kit of IFixIt.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - June 2024 6 months ago:
Dead By Daylight! This game is very comfortable at low wattage. 45Fps @7w all low. The deck basically turn DBD into bite sized excitements.
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 6 months ago:
Bought an OLED model for 6 months. I still use it for 60% of my game time.
Sure, 40% of the time I need to have online experience with friends (Fps games / long gaming session), or the games simply don’t feel right on The Deck.But being able to use it everywhere is just so nice( friend’s place / sitting in garden / on my bed). Plus, I regularly use it as a mini TV, watching YT and Netflix on it.
- Comment on [Game] Back 4 Blood gets Denuvo Anti-tamper removed and an anti-cheat fix for Steam Deck 7 months ago:
It’s surprising they’ve paid for an anti-tamper for THAT long, instead of spending those money to keep updating the game.
- Comment on [Discussion] What kind of protective and carrying cases do you use for your Deck? 7 months ago:
Using the Tomtok ultra slim carrying case. It feels very close to the NS’s one , and make carrying it much less of a chore.
Would like to try out the Killswitch, but I remember it takes the place of grip case too (Meaning I can’t use other grip cases).
- Comment on Google Podcasts is shutting down soon, users urged to move to YouTube Music 8 months ago:
I just cant believe how we are supposed to even trust this company not pulling the plug on all of their apps and services.
I avoid google products, but seeing this still hurts knowing that a lot of people will be affected.
- Comment on CD Projekt Red still 'don't see a place for microtransactions' in singleplayer games 8 months ago:
Actually glad to hear about this rather than hearing more “Loot boxes” or “Battle pass”.
Too often do we feel hate about bad things, and too little do we voice our love toward good things.
- Comment on I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways 8 months ago:
I agree. Context matters!
-
The bigger/closer the screen is the more you’ll be discomforted by low fps.
-
Different genre of games feels different. (Fixed camera games are less likely to dizzy you compared to FPS)
-
I found that input method plays a role too. M&K or Gyro input will feel sluggish in low fps. Wile pure stick inpit might be fine.

I can see this method useful for Wii games that utilize pointers!

- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2024 9 months ago:
Do you mean feeling dizzy? Keep the FPS >= 60(you can try to push for 75), and increaseing the fov might help.
Also keep a good 30+cm between eye and deck. I too often found myself sticking my eyes to the screen when really engaged. That cause a lot of dizziness. 🤘 and 🪨
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2024 9 months ago:
Been playing a lot of Deep Rock Galatic! The deck is surprising good at handling FPS games. And the performance is very good.( mostly 60fps @10 watt. Gpu pinned 1100Mhz)
Played a lot less single player game than I expected tho.
- Comment on ［Help］Steam Deck stuck loading user profile after rebooting in offline mode. 10 months ago:
Huge thanks for the fixes!
First I tried changing accounts(With ethernet). No luck there, steam deck ended up showing “Issue connecting with Valve servers”
Then I tried reverting to previous Steam OS partition .
And I goofed 😂, I failed to mention that my Deck is a fairly new one (Yes I encountered this problem twice within 3 weeks). So the last version was literally the factory setup/out of the box one. Ended up wiping my steam data(Tried going back to previous A and B, both resulted in factory setup screen)。
The good news is that desktop side of things seems to be right where they were (even emulator saves!), and getting gaming mode back on track will be speedy.
A shame I can’t experiment with more potential solutions, but my takeaway is that.
【Unless you absolutely need the insurance offline mode provides, or else just turning off wifi (even using airplane mode when needed) will be a much safer bet. Whatever offline mode did to Valve related connections, isn’t totally safe and have chances of failing.】
