Lol
- Comment on How's the battery life after you've had one for a while? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve had mine for a year and 3 months (LCD) and it will run me Horizon Zero Dawn for an hour and 15 minutes (give or take) since day 1. No difference that I’ve been able to appreciate.
- Comment on What if you could use your phone to type in text fields when playing docked? 4 weeks ago:
I play docked exclusively, unless I’m traveling. Never thought about this need because of what I play on my deck, but maybe KDEconnect can help there.

Glad that worked for you. Enjoy.

I got a brand called JSAUX. In my case I pickles 2 of the 6-in-1 because of all the USB-A ports, but they have different sizes.
This is the one I purchased:

I was just going to say. I have 2 LG TVs at home, not the official SD dock, but a couple of aftermarket ones, and they both work perfectly fine.

Oh, sweet. Time to take a dualsense for a spin on the deck. Thanks.

Now that you mention it, is there a way to make the pad work on the steam deck in those controllers?

Lol, so many of us with crazy amounts of Stadia controllers. I even gave away like 3 and still have 4 🤣

That lets you know all you need about how relaxed I ply. I had no idea X could “pull” as much as push. Thanks so much, I’ll do that again today.

Same here. No oxygen depletion, and go about tearing that thing apart slowly. One thing I haven’t managed is to grab the bunny. I mean, I do grab it, but can’t get it to appear in my quarters, it just sticks to my hand until I let go.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker. After a rough day of work, there’s something incredibly soothing about dismantling a spaceship over a couple of hours.

You are absolutely correct. I was talking about LTT. Sorry.

What GrapheneOS are you talking about? 🤣

Spot on. A couple of years ago I wanted him and his channel to be destroyed since he was being such a jerk. Now, not so much. I still don’t like him, but he has come a long way in his interactions with people, at least publicly.

Such a good call, lol.
- Comment on How good is the Steam Deck really? (Not a gamer) 3 months ago:
I travel quite a bit for work, so for me it’s a life saver.
I play some pretty demanding games such as Cyberpunk, Elden Ring and Horizon, and while it’s no PS5, they run beautifully for such a small device.
The battery is not going to run me any of those games for more than an hour or so, but for that there are always those oldeis but goodies I emulate from NES all the way to PS2.
If like you say you’re not a gamer, which makes me assume you’ll play some games just to pass some time and kill some stress, I don’t think you can find a better device to spend a couple of hundreds on and feel like it was a gift.

Dude, the issue is not the Deck, it’s your router.

Absolutely critical feature. I’m spoiled and cannot live without haptics.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 6 months ago:
I am one of those that fell for the falacy of “gaming laptops” because I have to travel a lot for work, and need my dose of gaming to stay sane. As such, I usually played on console when at home, work on a non-gaming PC, and tried to game on a laptop while away.
I found that, while I was able to somewhat play a bit while on the ground, those laptops are huge power suckers. This lead to any flight over 2 hours leaving me at the expense of the airline’s ad-ridden and ridiculously limited “entertainment” (those that provide it and IF they provided it). Never mind how freaking hot they get.
The deck has saved my life. I can carry a powerful laptop that will give me 8+ hours of battery for my in-flight media consumption and watch whatever the he’ll I want without being exposed to ads and the pilot interrupting my enjoyment, and I can play anything available offline on my deck at any point.
Unfortunately I still have a “gaming” system76 laptop that is only 2 years old, this is my second (and last) “gaming” laptop. My next travel companion will not have, nor need, dedicated GPU, because the deck covers that itch.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 6 months ago:
You cannot compare these. While it is true that the switch sold 13 million+ units it’s first year, these are worldwide sales, while the Steam deck started (and still is) only in a few select markets, and started at a bit over 1 million units sold the first year. That’s what, 8% compared to the Switch’s first year? The deck was not being sold (at least not directly) in over 92% of the countries where the Switch was, so it seems like they are on par, or at least very close, by region.
Also consider that the switch is more targeted at kids, while the deck is targeted at more mature players.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 6 months ago:
Exactly my thoughs.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 6 months ago:
That’s something that could have even saved them money on R&D for the Xbox itself, but there’s no way in hell they would allow you to use your gaming console as a desktop.
It is fascinating how they are willing to waste a shitload of money just to lock users into an ecosystem. Imagine how easy it would be to just run Windows on the Xbox and allow to boot into desktop or game mode as needed. That would have been a huge selling point against Playstation, but “make life better for your users” will never be part of MS’s philosophy.
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 6 months ago:
Just add 2 more hours of gameplay per day. You’re fine.

Count me in that group. Mostly single player games that I can pause at a moments notice when my wife wants something. 🤣🤣
