Protondb is the place to check.

Animal Well is one of the best games of the year. So good.
The less you know about anything going into it, the better.
- Comment on Proton Experimental for Steam Deck / Linux fixes Disgaea 4 Complete+, Final Fantasy XIV and various other games 3 weeks ago:
I’ve found that Proton-GE works every time regular proton doesn’t. Haven’t tried it with D4 specifically though.

The reality is so so so much worse.

Steam Input is amazing, and something that I feel doesn’t get nearly as much credit as it deserves. You can literally make anything do anything. You can even create on-screen rotary menus and shit.
I saw a comment on Lemmy a while back where someone said they hated steam input and I just didn’t understand what possible issue anyone could ever have with it.

All the time

Finally. Thank god.

Yikes dude.
Learning when to say “you know what, I was wrong,” or even just, "my bad, I misspoke what what I originally said. What I actually meant was: " is a very important life skill as an adult. I hope you realize that one day.

You can also easily connect a mouse and keyboard (and monitor or TV if you want) if the controller doesn’t work well for the game.
Because it’s literally a PC.

Steam Deck is not just a PC, and its not just a handheld.
Yes. It’s both… And it is fully functioning as either.
- Comment on The Plucky Squire recently came out, and used the Steam Deck to represent PC 2 months ago:
Are you not aware of “Desktop mode”? Hold down the power button for a few second, click “switch to desktop mode,” and you’re literally using a fully functioning Linux PC.

But misrepresenting its utility as a modern living room PC doesn’t help anyone and is just going to leave people disappointed.
Did I do this?

It’s almost as if they’re two completely different markets

Yup. As someone who hasn’t had a dedicated gaming PC in about a decade, I’ve been really happy with the PS5 + Steam Deck combo (well, plus Switch, but that thing collects dust until Nintendo releases a Mario platformer).
I recently got a laptop that’s not made for gaming specifically, but can handle them pretty well (with Proton), and that has scratched any itch I’ve had for PC games that don’t lend themselves to Deck or console (your RTS games and such).
At risk of giving away the game… I think people would be very surprised to see how cheap physical copies of PS4 and PS5 games go for when you catch them on sale.
- Comment on The one accesory I would recommend with the Deck 3 months ago:
What they said, but yes also the wriggling. It’s probably fine now, but I have had devices where the port did get worn out that way after years of use and just incidental wiggling and that was enough to make the port extremely loose and jiggly.
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 3 months ago:
I think Wukong is $60 ($70 for Deluxe). At least the was the PS5 price.

FYI, the cops will not do shit with the info you gave them. Probably never even wrote it down.
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 3 months ago:
Yeah, I dunno if that list was supposed to be convincing lol… Most of the games on there are total “games as a service” garbage.
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 3 months ago:
Every single one of these games looks like trash. Like 4 out of 5 (on page 1 at least) of the games on the list are games I’ve only heard about from YouTube advertisements that I didn’t use SponsorBlock on.
Not very convincing.
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 3 months ago:
Perhaps it’s due to the games I play not being online multiplayer for the most part, but I’ve yet to encounter a game that I couldn’t get to work on Linux, with ~99% requiring absolutely no effort (besides clicking a drop down menu).
And this includes games that Steam has labeled “unsupported” (not even just “unverified”).
At risk of being that annoying, “but have you tried lately?” guy but… Have you? Because it’s pretty wild.

No thanks

Damn sold out already

Not the person you replied to, but I’ve used a few of their products and they’ve been fine… But I will say that I hate the “edgy” marketing style they use for everything.
