- Comment on We Can Now Get Steam Deck Buttons Made Out Of Stone 1 week ago:
People on Etsy sell custom buttons, including Nintendo ones.
They’ve also recently added an option for layout-agnostic glyphs that show the position of the button (the four hollow circles with the button in question filled in) which I kind of prefer

Gyro is the only way I can pay fps games with a controller
- Comment on Steam Desktop and Steam Deck stable update released with various fixes, plus tweaks to the download UI 1 week ago:
I haven’t encountered a single game that hasn’t worked. Maybe like 5% required more than just clicking “start.”
From what I understand, it’s mostly games with anti-cheat where the devs face specifically made it so Linux won’t work. But I don’t really play MMO games so I haven’t encountered it.
- Comment on Castlevania Advance Collection is so Good on Deck! 2 weeks ago:
The best games in the series imo
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED 1TB Certified Refurbished back in stock in the US 2 weeks ago:
As someone who upgraded to the OLED from LED to grab a white one, the OLED screen is amazing. The difference is insane.
- Comment on The Phawx got real SteamOS running on the ROG Ally 2 weeks ago:
I only use it on my laptop and not a portable device, so mine does not boot until Big Picture mode, though I imagine that’s possible.
And yeah it’s pretty similar, particularly on the gaming side. If you’re only using it for gaming and doing nothing but Steam and maybe a tiny bit of Desktop mode for Discover store, then yeah you probably won’t notice a difference.
However, if you use it for more than gaming, which is not only possible, but super stable, then there will be some slight differences than SteamOS in how you “layer” packages and such. But again, you probably won’t need that since most things are available in flatpak (Discover).
I think it’s probably a more complete desktop experience than SteamOS at this point simply because it’s been available longer.
- Comment on Junk Store: BIG update on what is next 2 weeks ago:
It’s not just that it costs money, it’s also closed source. They could have kept it open source while still charging a modest fee to cover expenses. Making it closed source means profit motive.

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 3 weeks ago:
Bazzite is awesome.
- Comment on The Phawx got real SteamOS running on the ROG Ally 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 5 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.

I’ve been playing Keep Driving quite a bit. Fun game and great on deck.

Bazzite is also immutable
- Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Hotkey he apocalypse game
Heh. CDDA is pretty intense, but I’m a huge fan of how it handles inventory.

I’m thinking it’s for the Windows bloat… Gotta have more storage for it.

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 3 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 3 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? 3 months ago:
I dunno. I’ve never had any issues with input lag so
- Comment on Input lag with built-in controls? 3 months ago:
Maybe steam input is on when it isn’t needed for the game?
