Hmmm I will look at picking it up in the Spring sale then.

Okay but does it work? Looked it up on launch and the reviews were chock full of crashes and bugs.

No I mean the settings in Steam.
- Comment on FreeTube full screen 1 week ago:
Oh I see. Check the display settings? The little settings wheel on the right before you launch the app?
- Comment on FreeTube full screen 2 weeks ago:
The Steam Deck has a 16:10 display. The videos you’re watching are most likely 16:9 or 18:9 so it will always have black bars.

What’s your point?

That’s fine except the fee is not payable without a Google account. And I deleted mine years ago.

Rising tide lifts all boats, my dude. More people using Linux means Linux gets better.

I see, thanks

Then why do the other 2 never reach 100?
- Comment on Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life 5 weeks ago:
That’s not “being fair”, that’s just making excuses.

I noticed the downloads page is new.
- Comment on Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024 5 weeks ago:
Honestly I don’t play any specific games more than others. I usually play them, beat them, move on.
Call of Juarez is a really fun and simple pick up and play game (I hate complicated games). Actually quite an ugly game, despite running at a locked 90/800p. I’m on my third playthrough now.
Adrift was a really visually and audibly beautiful game, but also kinda boring and frustrating (I still don’t understand how to navigate even though I beat it yesterday). The price makes up for it.
I’ll mention Neva and Planet of Lana in the same breath, as they are very very similar games, but both excellent, simple and beautiful. Frustratingly, they do not run at 90 FPS or 16:10. The puzzle aspect made Lana more fun but the battle aspect was way more fun in Neva.
My Friend Pedro is kind of a modern 2D Max Payne style game that I’ve got a lot of hours in.

Install custom BIOS? Nahhhh I don’t think so.
- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth – Custom Chocobo Steam Deck 1 month ago:
Ya love to see the Steam Deck getting love from such mainstream publishers…
- Comment on Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS 1 month ago:
No, their Micro-compositor was written exclusively for AMD cards.
Because NVIDIA drivers suck. That’s on Nvidia, not Linux or Valve.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 month ago:
Yes it does, but as I said, the games that necessitate trackpads are a super minority. That’s why they’re not included in most devices. They take up a lot of space. The Steam Deck is significantly wider than most of it’s competitors.
- Comment on Why are there so many different Proton versions? Proton 8, Proton 9, Experimental, GE-Proton 1 month ago:
When you change things you might fix some issues but you might also simultaneously create others.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 month ago:
iPads have been overpowered for a long time. Long before Apple Silicon came around.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 month ago:
I’ve never used the touchpads on mine outside of desktop mode. The vast majority of games have controller support.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 month ago:
Every other PC handheld runs at 1080+. And while I agree 800p is the ideal resolution there’s clearly a market for higher resolution. Especially for those of us running lighter games.
- Comment on Too loud? 1 month ago:
Yes, the OLED model has a more efficient processor, thus producing less heat, thus the fan runs at a lower speed, this making less noise.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 month ago:
A laptop does not support attached controllers for hand-holding. Seems pretty obvious.
I cannot hold my hands in the air indefinitely. Even completely empty my arms will get tired after a few short minutes, much less several hours. My Steam Deck gets held on my lap or on a table or something like that.
OneXPlayer has something similar that I actually considered buying (but ultimately didn’t for several reasons) that includes a keyboard and (laptop) trackpad and a pen. If I can buy 1 device that can do both handheld gaming and also laptop productivity, I can save a whole lot of money…

Not sure if serious
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 1 month ago:
Honestly in 3 years I never felt the need for any accessories, other than a 1TB SSD.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - January 2025 1 month ago:
NEVA. SIFU is up next, got it free a couple days ago! Been mostly playing on desktop lately though (FFXVI)
- Comment on While Palworld enjoys a resurgence Valve dropped the rating to Steam Deck Unsupported 1 month ago:
Its less that they’re leanient and more that there’s no clearly-defined criteria for meeting it. Especially in terms of graphical fidelity or FPS.
