I get it.
I can’t use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.
- Comment on Options for a controller for steam deck 1 week ago:
I am guessing you don’t want an old Steam Controller? You might want the new one Valve is making, but unfortunately I don’t think details or a release date have been announced yet.

STOP USING DISCORD

I really wanted to play this before I knew it was predatory and manipulative gotcha garbage.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
If you live in the US, your state may have an “implied warranty” law that extends the warranty of the device you bought. I think for most states that have such laws, the warranty period is 4 years. Many states have such laws but I can’t find a list online. If you have an implied warranty and valve doesn’t honor it, you can get the state involved.
Sorry your Steam deck broke. Devices like this should last many years, especially when the only moving parts are the buttons and the fan.
- Comment on Steam deck OLED 1TB or Asus ROG Ally X with Bazzite? 1 month ago:
I love backside buttons for you all who use them, but I don’t ever want them to anything more than non-essential programmable buttons. I personally can’t stand them, but as long as they are optional for gaming, I don’t mind that they are there.

I didn’t know that, thank you for mentioning it. That’s perfect.
- Comment on New Stable Steam Client update for Deck and Desktop 1 month ago:
Thanks! I will try disabling Decky plugins if I still have the issue.
- Comment on New Stable Steam Client update for Deck and Desktop 1 month ago:
Does this update fix the ‘no sound through HDMI when docking’ issue that plagues both my official and third-party docks? These ports and plugs weren’t designed to handle my frustrated, high-rate plugging and unplugging, and I am so very tired.

Thank you for sharing!

Has anyone used one of these gaming pillows? Is it worth it? I’m considering getting one.
- Comment on I Used to Teach Students. Now I Catch ChatGPT Cheats. 2 months ago:
I would only say that a calculator always gives people the right answer. ChatGPT does not. People should not be using any of these current LLM tools to seek answers to things they don’t plan on verifying through some other source.
- Comment on I Used to Teach Students. Now I Catch ChatGPT Cheats. 2 months ago:
If students can cheat on writing papers, why don’t we stop using it as a learning metric? Why not use in-person, timed tests instead?
- Comment on [Discussion] What accessories do you use with your steam deck? 2 months ago:
I use this dock by Skull & Co. because I needed a second dock. It’s half the price of the official Steam Deck dock and it has nearly all the same ports. It’s always functioned flawlessly.
I have purchased docks, cases, and thumb grips from them and they’ve all been great.
- Comment on FreeTube full screen 3 months ago:
That’s really odd. I don’t know what else to check.
I hope you are able to figure it out!
- Comment on FreeTube full screen 3 months ago:
I have a Steam Deck OLED and my Freetube uses the whole screen. Freetube v0.23.1 beta and SteamOS version 3.6.20
It might be the way you have Freetube installed. From Steam game mode, go to Freetube, then Properties, then Shortcut. This is what I have:
Target:
“/usr/bin/flatpak”
Start In:
/usr/bin
Launch Options:
run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/run.sh --file-forwarding io.freetubeapp.FreeTube @@u %u @@
I am not using any specific compatibility mode.
There is a problem though where the mouse pointer cannot select anything more than about halfway down the screen. To get around this, I have the controller config set as follows:
Right touchpad: mouse L2 & R2: right and left mouse buttons D-pad: arrow keys Left joystick - left: shift+tab Left joystick - right: tab Y: on-screen keyboard A: Enter
This will let you scroll with the d-pad, tab around, use keyboard, and select things with Enter.
I hope this helps.

If they completely break the payments system, does that mean government employees stop getting paid?
Like no more federal government? No more ICE? No more military? No more FBI?
- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is Steam Deck Verified 4 months ago:
The video is okay, but without knowing the resolution or graphical concessions made, we don’t really have a good idea of how it looks.
I really want it to look and run great! Let’s wait and see.

Wait whaaat? How is it failing? I’m really curious to know your experience!
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 4 months ago:
This soft grip from Skull & Co. because it lets the deck stand up on its own.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 4 months ago:
I think she means it will be unpopular, unknown, or not relevant. I am a gamer with a Steam Deck and I had no idea what the Index was or that it even existed until just now when you mentioned it here.

It’s extremely likely that US citizens are going to lose many consumer protections once Orange Shitler is back in office.
