Ah, so it is. I read the URL and assumed it was the title as it often is.
- Comment on Steam Deck sells out in North America within 24 hours of price hike 4 days ago:
What a weird title! Yours, I mean. It’s sold out within 24 hours of being made available again after weeks and weeks of not being available. The price hike is just ancillary information.
- Comment on [Steam controller] Anyone hear back after the May 8th reservation blitz? 1 week ago:
Someone in these comments literally ordered one from a reservation today. So there.

I just installed Read You from F-Droid.
I think self-hosting an aggregator lets you keep a cross-platform record of what you’ve read and what not. You mostly just need an app.

That link goes to a to a forum, which doesn’t have subscriptions. I figured out the answer, though.
- I went to the Steam Frame page.
- Near the bottom was “Follow Steam Hardware for updates, news, and launch information”.
- That page has a “Links” menu with an RSS link.
Note: if you go to the page in step 2 yourself, the RSS link will likely be in your local language. My link above is in English.

Well, that’s a good idea. I haven’t thought about RSS in ages. Like I forgot that was even a thing. I could write a back-end that polls the RSS feed for its last updated date, and if I find something, then notify subscibers. Subscribers like an app someone makes.
I don’t know much about writing Android apps, but I feel like if I were to write the stupidest one, post it on GitHub, and advertise the project to people, someone will be so offended at its stupidity that they’ll fix it for me.
I can handle a back-end stuff just fine.

We agree! That’s what I meant when I said, “Any real news from Valve.”
I guess “real news from Valve” wasn’t clear enough and could be mistaken for also including NewRandomYouTubeGamerX64_L33tSauce’s pricing opinions. I guess I just don’t condider that news. I thought the title was clear. TIL!

Ha! I was actually worried about the $120 I put in for the Controller (just in case they were going to charge for shipping.) These days I only buy the occassional indie game. I can’t imagine putting in $1,000 for a Steam Machine and risk not getting one. (Or whatever it’s going to cost.)
- Comment on [Controller] Think these people will be disappointed 3 weeks ago:
Wait, there were 2025 previous versions of the Steam Controller?
- Comment on [Controller] Think these people will be disappointed 3 weeks ago:
I do hope someone makes a good case for the new Steam Controller. I like my Spigen brand Steam Deck case more than the Valve one, so maybe they’ll make a similar one for the controller that has a nice zippered pocket for the puck and a USB cable.

I got one. Had to click “Continue” about 100 times to checkout. Took over 30 minutes.

Wow, that’s scary
- Comment on Looking for a battery bar for the [deck] 1 month ago:
Auto Suspend
So what happens? The screen just goes black in the middle of a game? I guess that would be a clue to plug it in if you’re expecting it.
Right now, having it shut down when you didn’t realize the battery was low is really annoying.
But here’s something I’ve done many times. I pick up my Deck, I turn it on without thinking, and it turns out it’s at 0% or very close to it, and as the screen comes on, the voltage drop from waking up has lowered the voltage below the low-voltage shut off, so it just shuts down immediately.
I did this like three times before I learned to always plug in the Deck before turning it on if i’m not certain I have good battery.
So what would happen with this plugin installed? Would it wake up and then immediately go to sleep again? Or is there a threshold where it doesn’t check if it should sleep within a certain period of being woken up? In that case, it would just shut down, like normal. But I’m wondering if there’s a chance the plug-in catches that and makes it go back to sleep. Because that would be excellent as long as I knew what was happening.

Makes sense. Like MAME, like the other reply mentioned.

Some of us don’t even know what RCPS3 is, so LBP could have been anything.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - April 2026 1 month ago:
Orginal Oblivion with mods. I have never played it. I just got the game installed yesterday, and set up in Vortex. Now I have to go grab all the mods, which is very manual. Vortex mod installation links on the Nexus don’t work on the deck. There might be a way to fix that because the mod suggestion list I’m looking at said there’s a way to make links work with Mod Manager 2 on the Deck.
I’m following a curated list of mods that will be a “vanilla+” experience. Not too crazy or anything. It’s called “A Pocket Full of Cheese Wheels” on the Nexus. It comes with a one-click installer shell script that installs Mod Manager 2 and a bunch of other stuff on the Deck but I’m just going to do it manually. The script is old and no longer maintained.
I modded Fallout 3 with Vortex on my Deck, and it was pretty easy when the game is installed on the SD card. I feel like that was key, but I don’t remember exactly why. You also have to symlink the “My Games” folder from the Fallout 3 (or Oblivion) Proton prefix into the Vortex Proton Prefix. That’s so Vortex can manage the INI files and such. Plus you set the SD card as the D: drive in the Vortex Proton prefix so it can see the game’s folder, too. In fact, I think that’s was done automatically done by Steam. Maybe that was why I installed the game on the SD card. But it’s not like you couldn’t make your own drive mapping. It’s a simple symlink named like “d:” or “e:” in the “dos_devices” folder. I don’t see why that couldn’t point to the NVMe drive, but I feel like people online said that wouldn’t work. Vortex is also installed on the SD card.
Maybe some day I’ll document all of this.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 2 months ago:
You can use any controller with it, though. I bet there will be a lot of people who love their Xbox, PS5 or Gamesir controller and just want to stick with that to save $50 or whatever the price difference will be.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 2 months ago:
The Steam Machine will not require a Steam Controller.
- Comment on [Deck] Make it make sense 2 months ago:
Clockwise is “ascending”. Scrolling down is ascending alphabetically by default in a file manager, or ascending through paragraphs in a web site or PDF.
It’s ironic that your graphic of time is ascending in a downward direction, but you didn’t understand this.
- Comment on Here's how I fixed my Steam Deck when it stopped turning on. 3 months ago:
Oh, I see it now. My bad. I missed him specifically showing that early in the video and later it looked like his left thumb was being used instead, but it’s not.
I even remember looking at my own Steam Deck to see the icon on the “select” button, and it didn’t ring a bell being called the quick access button. (Because it’s not.)
In addition, I mixed up my looking at the button with him zooming in on that button in the video. I would have sworn he did that, and I was about to go take a screenshot of it, but he didn’t. Stupid brain.

- Comment on A Steam Deck Has Been Turned Into A Steam Machine 3 months ago:
Now, Tom doesn’t recommend actually doing this, since it really doesn’t improve any performance and takes away the portability of the Deck, but it is a nice way to “revive” a Steam Deck that doesn’t work anymore.

Scrape, not scrap. Your version doesn’t sound very useful. :D
