worked fine for me for a couple decades. what’s painful about it exactly?
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 2 weeks ago:
same! i have recently been playing wow with friends on it and we are talking about doing a BG3 multiplayer game soon. and i use the steam deck as my daily gaming device!
its also my emulation setup as well. its just so good.
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 2 weeks ago:
PC gamers are very excited that there’s a handheld PC on the market thats made by Valve, but they don’t understand its meant to be a low-power gaming device. its not meant to be a 500+fps massive rig with all the trimmings and fixins.
They are trying to apply their upgrade logic/obsessive consumerism to a device that neither wants nor needs that in its own market.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
the steam deck fits a different market than a lot of PC gamers. they’re used to upgrading every 2 years. they’re used to obsessing over even the smallest fps or slight performance increase.
the fact that the steam deck wasn’t made for that kind of consumer but is being consumed by them is why we get people crying out for an upgrade constantly.
they’re trying to buy a compact version of their huge desktop gaming rigs. or trying to force a future where Valve releases a new model every year. that (as you said) is not what the steam deck was made for.
i am also glad that Valve is sticking to this model for as long as they can.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
indeed. if I owned another PC I would absolutely do it that way, but I install files locally for the time being.
but yes that is a great way to get insane fps on a steam deck. you just have to own more than one gaming computer lol.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
i play both AAA and indie titles. works fine, its just not going to run at 120fps with all the trimmings.
in most bigger titles I get like 25-30fps. which to me works perfectly. especially on such a small display.
performance doesn’t annoy me. the size of games nowadays annoys me. i can’t have more than one triple A title installed at any time because the damn things are like 200 gb now. i long for the days of 30gb downloads. even on big games.
but I can understand how if you’re looking for a smooth experience, the steam deck might not be as powerful as a full desktop.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima learned "so many ways to kill people" in training, says it's "kind of sad" many devs "don't know how to dismantle a gun or shoot a gun" despite making military games 1 month ago:
sounds like a super mall ninja bragging to all the other smaller mall ninjas.
“I spent years mastering the gun… you’ve only just 3d modeled one! Have at ye!”

oh. alright.
- Comment on Valve change Steam's rules to let banks and credit card firms prohibit "certain kinds of adult only content" 2 months ago:
this will just push more people to use local credit unions instead of large corporate banks with these kind of limitations.
very shitty of valve, honestly.

- Comment on PSA: Nested Desktop Mode 7 months ago:
i haven’t used desktop mode since that guide was posted in the instance this week.
love it!
- Comment on Nested Desktop: What it is, and how to set it up 7 months ago:
odd. i went and tested and apparently at ‘default’ it does the cursor weirdness, but ‘native’ seems to have completely fixed it.
as for the script, I followed the instructions to the letter, and input my screen’s resolution properly but it just sort of flashed for a moment and never started.
i tried for quite a while to get it working. different settings, even tried different resolutions to see if it just didn’t like my display, but nope. no dice for me =(
but after doing some ddg searching, many people have had the resolution issue with nested. so I can see why you had so many difficulties in finding a solution 😭.
i will work on it a bit more tomorrow and see if I can’t get the script working.
thank you for making the guide! i didn’t know this was possible until today and its been nice to not worry about swapping to desktop. <3
- Comment on Nested Desktop: What it is, and how to set it up 7 months ago:
this is absolutely wonderful but I seem to have issues with the mouse cursor not seeing the entire bottom of the desktop bar. so I’m unable to open apps.
but I wonder if thats a resolution issue.

- Comment on An idiots guide to setting up Minecraft on Steam Deck / SteamOS with controller support 8 months ago:
while controlify is great to start with, I’ve found that making my own setup in Steam Input to be a much more reliable experience.
it’s also a bit easier to do your own keybinds if you’re playing heavily modded packs with 400+ mods and whatnot. as controlify (and other controller support mods) may clash with mouse tweak mods or movement mods.
Steam Input is amazing software. Use it!
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 8 months ago:
oh I’m good where I am with the deck. in future I’m sure it will get smaller, not bigger.
that, and competitors can’t seem to come up with a decent trackpad the way steam deck has. so competitors will need more than a higher resolution and a huge fat monitor.
just my opinion, anyway.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 8 months ago:
mazel tov. enjoy.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 8 months ago:
compared to a laptop, I would. even a small one.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 8 months ago:
i agree. the reason steam deck and other handhelds work well is because of the smaller screen/resolution.
makes it light and games run ok due to the smaller resolution. a chonker like this completely defeats the purpose of a handheld imo.
- Comment on How do you have your back buttons set up? 8 months ago:
i use mine a lot. for WoW I have them set to scroll wheel in and out, auto run and mount
for other games I tend to use them for combo button presses. or set up specific layer commands with them.
- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 8 months ago:
no I’m not going to do a full reset when everything works already. lol. ive been living with it and its fine.
the phone thing is neat but is a gimmick I can live without, to be honest. and looking at a reply or two, I’m not the only one who had jankyness trying it.
but thank you <3
- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 8 months ago:
exact same experience. it doesn’t work well, unfortunately.
- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 8 months ago:
i am not able to use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth controller at the same time with the steam deck.
the sound just constantly stutters. its been that way since I got the deck. so its been years now.
- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 8 months ago:
ok so I just tried it. it does work but it is kinda temperamental. and doesn’t work flawlessly.
the signal keeps getting interrupted and janky as bluetooth can kinda be odd when it comes to having more than one device connected to it at one time.
especially audio. so yes it technically works, but its not going to be super usable.

- Comment on Nexus Mods new cross-platform app v0.7.1 released finally supporting upgrades - better modding for Linux / Steam Deck 8 months ago:
this is exciting but the mod manager is nowhere near usable just yet. it only supports a handful of games at the moment.
will not yet be jumping on it and replacing my MO2 just yet.
