and sold, as well. easier to just grab when you see the little checkmark. and you don’t have to wonder. or search lists or forum threads for compatibility.

- Comment on Megabonk is a mega success selling 1 million in 2 weeks, after being repeatedly told to delay it 3 weeks ago:
yeah it’s just a meme game. the reason so many articles are popping up is cause it’s sold a bunch.
which tends to happen when the tubers and twitch people play a new meme game. that meme game skyrockets in sales and then typically dies a few months later.

its just the new meme game all the streamers and youtubers are playing at the moment. its a 3d version of vampire survivors, kinda.
- Comment on I Review PC Handhelds for a Living and I’m Worried Where Things Are Headed 4 weeks ago:
its because PC gamers have been conditioned to upgrade every two years to some insane, power guzzling setup that allows you to see the shadows inside a character’s pores and have 300 fps.
switch sold well because its low power. same with steam deck. they’re not made to play extremely powerful games at 300fps.

- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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" 3 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 8 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 8 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 8 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 9 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!
