- Comment on Microsoft dives into the handheld gaming PC wars with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally 1 week ago:
They also seem to be pivoting towards trying to make “Xbox PC” something to replace Steam (see the end of the Super Meat Boy 3d trailer).
I wouldn’t be surprised if they try and lock out developers from putting games on Steam and being exclusive to “Xbox PC”.
Worked so well for Xbox Live for Windows…
- Comment on Valve announce SteamOS Compatibility ratings, an extension of Steam Deck Verified for more devices 5 weeks ago:
On Steam Deck there is, dont believe that shows up on Desktop
- Comment on Steam Deck gets a Battery Charge Limit control in the latest Beta 5 weeks ago:
I do hope they focus a bit on the UI going forward - we’ve noticed a lot of silly little bugs while either using the Steam Deck controls or a controller.
A little hard to close a window without focus when using a controller…
- Comment on SteamOS 3.7.5 for Steam Deck now in Beta with big upgrades and initial support for more hardware 5 weeks ago:
Bluetooth controllers can now wake LCD units from sleep, previously only available on OLED models.
Known issue: Bluetooth LE based controllers are not currently compatible with bluetooth wake on LCD models.
Nice, though I wonder which controllers are LE…
- Comment on 12 Nintendo Switch 2 Games You Can Play On Steam Deck Today 2 months ago:
And they probably cost $80 total, if that.
- Comment on HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld 2 months ago:
Probably have better luck convincing Agilent to make some cool shit
- Comment on Using the Steam Deck docked has been a dreadful experience for me. Is it just me going wrong? 2 months ago:
Yea, I’d try and alternative dock and maybe see if there’s something with the display settings - I have no issues using a simple USB adapter and some Xbox controllers.
I know the PS controllers can be finicky, as well as CEC causing problems - might need to see if those are some of the root causes by disabling/changing.
- Comment on [Help] YouTube TV stopped working today, now redirects to normal YouTube 2 months ago:
Have you tried manually setting the user agent to Desktop Windows as a workaround?
- Comment on [Game] Split Fiction is Incredible on the Steam Deck - First Impressions - Steam Deck HQ 3 months ago:
Nice, another game to play with our dual steam decks 😄
- Comment on [PSA] 2.4g Controllers and interference with USB 3 ports (e.g. docks) 3 months ago:
Sort of a known issue via Zigbee coordinators and USB 3 - using a USB extending cable for the dongle should fix the issue
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Probably going to happen regardless of survey, since Lenovo is doing it
- Comment on Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life 4 months ago:
Sure, but that helps prevent degradation due to charging cycles, not charging capacity
- Comment on Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life 4 months ago:
Would definitely be really nice since we tend to leave our Steam Decks plugged in all day
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 5 months ago:
Tbf, the Steam Deck shows up as device type: laptop in the Steam Deck Hardware Survey.
- Comment on folder syncronization 5 months ago:
If you don’t want to set up anything, you could just use Steam Screenshots
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 5 months ago:
It does make the frames go faster 🔥
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 5 months ago:
Indeed, but since they’re trying to be competitive on price here, I wonder if they’re competitive on features…
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 5 months ago:
Wonder if supports CEC like the Steam Dock
- Comment on [Guide] Steam Deck Hardware Guide - includes mods, hardware revisions, and more 5 months ago:
Valve won’t be anytime soon (valvetime)
Though other OEMs will (and maybe have SteamOS soon).
I will say that the Steam Deck is well crafted - if all the games you’d like to play are compatible with the specs, I’d just recommend it based on all the previous support it’s received.
- Comment on GE-Proton 9-22 released with lots of game fixes for Linux / Steam Deck 5 months ago:
Yep, just use Protonup
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - January 2025 5 months ago:
Heroes of Hammerwatch, Windblown, and Risk of Rain 2
Been nice since the SO also has a steam deck now.
- Comment on JSAUX released their first White 6-in-1 Docking Station for handhelds like Steam Deck 6 months ago:
Wonder if this has CEC support, that’s a pretty important feature they’ve finally added to the Steam Dock
- Comment on Sony is reportedly working on a PS5 portable 6 months ago:
Ehhh…
It was very limited by the decisions Sony made.
Proprietary memory cards (that were fuuuucking expensive, not to mention its high MSRP for the unit itself), having to manually sign into PSN to check messages instead of some sort of push notification system, very limited library (and no cross over purchases from the PSP) - it was essentially a glorified remote play console, and was abandoned soon after launch as Sony focused on the PS4.
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 7 months ago:
A shame it doesn’t have hall effect thumbsticks (and vibration), but more quality controllers I will not shake a stick at.
- Comment on Valve Working With Rockstar to Fix GTA Online on Steam Deck 8 months ago:
Just as a small update, you might be surprised.
- Comment on YouTube TV on steamdeck with more than 720p 8 months ago:
Does changing the user agent work?
Pretending to be Chrome on Windows seems easy enough
- Comment on Valve Working With Rockstar to Fix GTA Online on Steam Deck 8 months ago:
Valbe should automatically stop sales of any game that dips from verified to unplayable over these shenanigans.
- Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. 8 months ago:
Why $100?
It works with any USB-C hub - I spent $15 on a hub and $5 on an HDMI cable.
- Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. 8 months ago:
Cheapest OLED steam deck is $549.00 (USD) while the most expensive is $649.00 (USD).
So really either way not only all those positives, but it’s also at least $50 cheaper (which you can use to buy several games on Steam…)
- Comment on Steam Families is here 8 months ago:
Very nice - glad to not need the beta since it messed with some Steam Deck stuff like Gungeon video settings and the default dock volume…
