You honestly might still be able to get one. Put in the request and state that you literally cant play the game anymore because of the change
- Comment on Twystlock - Free, 100% 3D printable gaming accessories 2 months ago:
These are awesome! If i can make a suggestion:
Adapters to lock into the jsaux and killswitch mounts! Idk about jsaux but i know that dbrand published 3dp files for theirs!

Not sure if just me but none of your spoiler tags are working lol - im on mobile and using boost though
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 2 months ago:
Make sure to wait 5 minutes after you see them playing a game and open up a new one to kick them off in the middle of what they’re doing
- Comment on What have you been playing lately? 3 months ago:
I think i was close to 400 when i started going for completion, and then i played more RIGHT up to the 400 mark and quit until sote, now I’m getting close to 600 and I’m just exploring and fighting hippos, I’m actually really pumped to get into ng+ now, i haven’t done any of that yet for some reason… in ds3 i was like ng10 lol
- Comment on Space Marine 2 playability 3 months ago:
I would never trust a leaked build pre-launch for performance benchmarking, people doing that are just trying to get clicks.
The dev process is crazy, different for everyone, and that build could have been before a huge performance tuning pass for all we know
- Comment on What have you been playing lately? 3 months ago:
so much Elden ring
- Comment on What remote do you use? 4 months ago:
I love their ultimate controller but heads up in case someone else wants it for dual function… their officially branded “wireless controller FOR XBOX” only supports wired mode on an actual xbox. Bought it for my dad for fathers day, but ended up keeping it myself because of that.
- Comment on What remote do you use? 4 months ago:
Some regions call them remote.
Funny, my partner always calls the tv remotes “controller” instead, lol
- Comment on dBrand Releases New Steam Deck Skin Based Off of $1 Million Counter-Strike Skin 4 months ago:
Not gonna downvote you for your personal opinions, but just to throw it out there, its not “edgy 90’s kid” that theyre going for, its that theyre supposed to be robots with the end goal of conquering humanity through capitalism, and they don’t particularly like us
- Comment on Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux 4 months ago:
Sd cards aren’t meant to be constantly written to, games are fine by themselves, but the windows OS is CONSTANTLY reading files, making changes, writing logs, deleting temp files, and writing over them, etc.
It won’t happen immediately, and it will depend on the grade SD card you get, but eventually your sd card is going to fail and you’re either going to lose data or your windows install will start chugging cause the SD can’t keep up with the writes anymore. Plus, the SSD will be closer to the bus and get faster r/w anyway.
I assume the people who go around saying its not a problem just got a higher end card or are lucky and haven’t had a problem yet.
Its essentially the same argument as “smoking will give you cancer”
- Comment on Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux 4 months ago:
if you really wanted to you could just install Windows 10/11 onto a MicroSD and boot to Windows.
You really shouldn’t. Running dual boot on your ssd is only slightly harder than installing windows, and there are step-by-step guides to show you how

If microsoft would release a gaming handheld, it will probably just be an xbox all together lol
- Comment on Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux 4 months ago:
Id say the fiasco with the m1 chip and compatibility is staying their hand pretty firmly lol
- Comment on Valve Working on Video Clip Recording and Sharing in Steam Client 5 months ago:
Hey that was my last reason to stay locked into nvidia cards, now i can just go for the best price/performance
- Comment on An Easy Way To Copy A Controller Layout Configuration From One Game To Another 5 months ago:
I was going to build a simple profile manager program to help do this, but never got around to doing it. If anyone else wants to steal it, my idea was:
Steam stores a single file holding each controller layout, it was going to be very jank because directly editing those files is tricky and could break things. Instead, the idea was that you would create a profile in steam’s interface as your default or desktop layout, and then my program would take that layout and back up the file as a different name, then when you wanted to swap between them the program would simply rename the files, all with a barebones ui maybe just displaying the profile names. Would work out of a console window if it weren’t for no keyboard lol
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 6 months ago:
I would hope they’d be able to get that working much more reliably when both ends are known to be their hardware…
But also yeah, IHS is a huge coinflip depending on your home network too
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 6 months ago:
I wouldn’t hate a non-portable steam deck, especially if they can make in-home streaming between the steam machine and the deck seamless
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024 6 months ago:
Oh, its only 10% off right now
Tbh i didn’t even look how high the discount was, i knew i wanted the game and it was 13$ so i just went for it lol
- Comment on Why install other Linux ISOs on Steam Deck? 6 months ago:
I saw a Steam Deck at Disneyland being used to operate “autonomous” robots in Star Wars Land.
I think mkbhd did a video showing that off recently if anyone is curious
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024 6 months ago:
Everyone always says balatro and i finally got it on sale and now i can’t stop
- Comment on No Rest For The Wicked will be playable on Steam Deck, although recommended PC specs may be a worry 7 months ago:
Are there really that many games running at 60? I swear i play most of mine at 30 on my deck and they look perfectly fine, smaller screen helps with a lot of that imo
- Comment on New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2 7 months ago:
Idk man, their laptops are pretty over engineered imo. Bad cooling just so they can get rid of vents, touchbar that holds important system commands that just crashes…
But mostly they get better efficiency because there’s no hardware variation to account for. And even then, their mx processors were causing a shit ton of compatibility issues with some of the most popular mac software. I would assume a lot of those are ironed out by now though
- Comment on New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2 7 months ago:
also whether or not all the power on that chip is able to be used or if its just going to thermal throttle at 50% load
- Comment on Is the difference between OLED and LCD models really that big? 7 months ago:
I don’t care enough to upgrade, personally, and i also keep a windows partition for EAC games, and the OLED doesn’t have good windows drivers

The fuck is blockchain going to do for gaming
- Comment on Battlefield V now broken on Steam Deck / Linux with EA anticheat live 7 months ago:
Past tense, NOW they have made themselves notorious for canning successful projects that don’t make enough. They just recently did it to one of the og creators of halo
- Comment on Battlefield V now broken on Steam Deck / Linux with EA anticheat live 7 months ago:
No ea game is worth the hassle because if it isn’t made into some form of pay to win lootbox shitfest, EA is likely to can the game and the developer all together. N E V E R trust ea with singleplayer.
- Comment on Battlefield V now broken on Steam Deck / Linux with EA anticheat live 7 months ago:
Small and self published devs are the way forward, capitalist corps can and will eventually optimize the fun out of every game they touch in search of profit margins.
- Comment on Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit. 7 months ago:
I don’t use my touch pad a whole lot, so maybe i should test it out some! Ill give your way a shot sometime soon lol
But in general i prefer my alpakka controller to the steam one anyway, super smooth gyro
