No worries

I was just adding to your comment, I wasn’t trying to correct you or anything…
- Comment on The Phawx got real SteamOS running on the ROG Ally 23 hours ago:
Bazzite is awesome.
- Comment on The Phawx got real SteamOS running on the ROG Ally 23 hours ago:
What’s wild is that there are people who bought the Steam Deck and immediately put Windows on it. Didn’t even try SteamOS.
- Comment on HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld 1 day ago:
Because competition just makes the Steam Deck better and cheaper
- Comment on [Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck? 1 week ago:
The sales were way better maybe like 10 years or so ago, but when they ended the “flash sales” to instead guarantee that the sale price of a game won’t change during the sale, they also kind of neutered the sales imo. They’re still alright, but they used to be consistently better.
I get why they ended the flash sales, and I’m not even sure if it’s related or just a separate choice that they made at the same time.
- Comment on What are some light-hearted, feel-good, comforting games to play on the deck? 2 weeks ago:
Fantastic game that does not get the love it deserves. I think it was on sale for a few bucks recently.
I have an urge once or twice a year to play through the game again.
- Comment on What are some light-hearted, feel-good, comforting games to play on the deck? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing Keep Driving quite a bit. Fun game and great on deck.
- Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be 1 month ago:
Bazzite is also immutable
- Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be 1 month ago:
I didn’t get far, no. Every 3 feet, you see something move out on the corner of your eye and it completely stops everything. Over and over.
I know you can turn that off, but then I just end up dying lol
- Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be 1 month ago:
Could make it Bazzite, and it would probably work just a well as SteamOS
- Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be 1 month ago:
Would be cool if it had a hotkey you could hold while powering on that tells it to boot into desktop mode.
- Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be 1 month ago:
Yeah… There are a lot of things I really like about the game, but every time I’ve tried playing, I get outside the initial starting point (after filling my pockets with frozen meat and shit lol), it gets kind of meh…
Though I have heard good things about some of the mods/variations
- Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be 1 month ago:
Hotkey he apocalypse game
Heh. CDDA is pretty intense, but I’m a huge fan of how it handles inventory.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
- Comment on What handheld PCs should do to fight the Nintendo Switch 2 1 month ago:
I’ll get a Switch 2 only for the first party Nintendo games (I’m a sucker for a good Mario game)
- Comment on Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS at CES 2025 video by Verge 2 months ago:
I’m thinking it’s for the Windows bloat… Gotta have more storage for it.
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 2 months ago:
Oh damn, I’ve been exclusively on zip up hoodies for the past 2+ decades, but that might convince me to pick up a pullover
- Comment on GE-Proton 9-22 released with lots of game fixes for Linux / Steam Deck 2 months ago:
I don’t use decky loader so dunno what Wine caller is, but assuming it runts protonupqt through wine, that’s def unnecessary (I guess it could work?). The app is linux native, so you don’t need a translation layer like wine.
- Comment on GE-Proton 9-22 released with lots of game fixes for Linux / Steam Deck 2 months ago:
You can also add it as a “non-steam game” and run it without having to switch to desktop mode.
- Comment on Input lag with built-in controls? 2 months ago:
I dunno. I’ve never had any issues with input lag so
- Comment on Input lag with built-in controls? 2 months ago:
Maybe steam input is on when it isn’t needed for the game?
- Comment on The State of Steam Deck survey 2024: The results are in 2 months ago:
Wow, great arguments 🙄

I went to hit “edit” and accidentally deleted my comment. Lol derp.
What I said was:
The verification system is not remotely accurate. It probably does more harm than good. Valve should have made it crowdsourced like protondb because they’re obviously unable to keep up, and I don’t know why they thought they would be.
You are criticizing the verification system by comparing it to ProtonDB which, again, is a different thing.
Steam’s verification isn’t “inaccurate,” it just denotes which games will give you the “console experience” right out of the box. And for that purpose, it does just fine.
- Comment on The State of Steam Deck survey 2024: The results are in 2 months ago:
Well based on your comment, it seemed as thought you didn’t.
- Comment on The State of Steam Deck survey 2024: The results are in 2 months ago:
Valve is going for a console experience, and that means the games just work.
Obviously, with PC gaming, that is a nearly insurmountable challenge.
I think the check mark is their attempt at that, and that’s why it doesn’t match 1:1 with ProtonDB.
Even the most minimal amount of “tinkering,” like having to change the resolution the first time you open the game, or the game doesn’t have an option for the Deck’s resolution, will stop it from getting approved as “fully compatible”
- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 2 months ago:
You can what?
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Autumn Sale has started. What are you buying for your Steam Deck? 3 months ago:
Protondb is the place to check.
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Autumn Sale has started. What are you buying for your Steam Deck? 3 months ago:
Animal Well is one of the best games of the year. So good.
The less you know about anything going into it, the better.

I’ve found that Proton-GE works every time regular proton doesn’t. Haven’t tried it with D4 specifically though.
