the Steam Deck, that is

first impressions are it feels good in the hand, not that heavy considering the size and nicely balancedbuttons & sticks are ok, not a fan of the trackpads so far but then I doubt I'll use them that muchinside the walled Steam garden it works well, but using the desktop mode (for setting up emulators, patches, mods etc) is a massive pain in the arse. I'm not a linux person and my god I never will be if it's always like thishaven't noticed much fan noise but then I haven't really pushed it yet

Sounds like a good bundle though I'm not sure how much of it already own. Will give most of the money to ACLU/Trevor Project

Should we just start a Deck thread?

I got GOG and Epic working on Steam Deck by using an app called Heroic. Strange that you can add it to the steam library through the desktop steam app but not when you're in the Deck UI. Still haven't tried the yuzu switch emulator because the installation sounds like a chore -- and also I have a switch that can't be hacked so I'd need to download everything.

No great headliner, but 100% to charity always welcome.

I bought it despite not wanting any of the bigger games.
Neat that it has games made in Turkey.

Oh this looks like a promising site, i.e. recommended settings for different games on the Deck: https://steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews/signalis/

Thank you! I just got mine in the mail today (feels extra special getting one in Australia). Website looks like a godsend.

Yeah that site can be handy but worth bearing in mind that for a lot of (maybe most) users, optimal settings mean “looks good and plays well and has good battery life”. But for me battery life isn’t a concern, I’m mostly playing while plugged in anyway, so the community recommended settings tend to put more constraints on performance/visuals than I want them to.

Just installed windows onto my steam deck, now have access to all my gamepass games. This is so much better than I had heard. My impression was Windows was a big compromise, but I think that was just the early days of the deck. Right now, it’s flawless and I much prefer it to the stock steam OS. This has to be my favourite console ever owned

Did you do the unregistered Windows 10 thing, where it doesn't allow the desktop to be personalized but otherwise it's complete? I am tempted.
― formerly abanana (dat), Saturday, 3 June 2023 02:51 (ten months ago) link
I did unregistered windows 11, but yeah same thing. If you have games only accessible via windows I highly recommend. I did the gamepass for like $30 a year via upgrading for goal for 3 years so it felt tough not being able to access that. So great now

Good one. If you’ve got a partner who’s not big into games, the other multiplayer bundle is a great one for casual local playing. My wife and I are loving rounds and Boomerang-fu atm
