GotDonuts posted:Put my reserve in late to the show on purpose, will be getting the 512 gb deck eventually. Just hoping this will provide me pc games while out on the road as I drive a semi. I just want my pc to be mobile too, and the ability to play my steam games on the go (Hopefully my epic library too) would make me ecstatic. Anything beyond that as far as emulators is concerned is a bonus to me. Putting in my reserve late hopefully will give me plenty of time to allow things to pan out and see if the device is still worth it. Fingers crossed! Loading up Euro Truck would be a pretty big power move

It seems dangerous enough when I talk on the phone with my headset let alone trying to drive and game.

Kirios posted:But whole Steam Library? And Switch emulator? Gamepass / Cloud integration? PS Now? All of this is possible, yeah, but is Valve willing to do the work to make this thing stable? Partner with all of these providers to ensure things like Gamepass and PSNow run on it? Because lets be real, Valve's selling this lower partly because Windows isn't a license on it. I'm not 100% sure Microsoft is gonna be cool about that and offer full support to this box. Same with Sony - they could see it as competition in their space. Switch emulation also seems like a pretty massive pie in the sky - does this thing reasonably have specs to run Switch games remotely well at all? I thought that stuff was still in its infancy. If you just install Windows on it, then surely it can do all of these things anyway. What does it matter what MS think about it when I install Windows and download the Xbox app and install my Game Pass games? It's the same as doing that on any other laptop. Likewise with PSNow, it's just a Windows app. It also doesn't matter what Valve do with regards to support - as long as the thing works and powers on, they've done what they needed to and you already have a functioning PC that works the same as any other PC. As for reliable Switch emulation, I have my doubts but that's mostly because there are a ton of games that run badly no matter what right now. If Yuzu makes progress in the next 6 months, who knows?

If its anything like the Index preorders, their ship dates are extremely conservative and you'll probably get called up way before you expect to. Chip shortages might gently caress things up though, but also a fair number of people will probably drop their reservations when it comes time to pay, jumping you up.

I thought they were sayin' that people wouldn't even get the chance to pay for the device until December 2021, not that some people would then have them ship out that same month. Did I miss / misinterpret something?sigher posted:Gabe said that getting the price they did was tough, they're probably losing big on each Steam Deck but Nintendo does the same and they make it back on game sales so we'll see how that works out for Valve. Word on the street is that Nintendo is basically the only hardware manufacturer that makes a profit on hardware. Given the price of joycons, I can believe that.

Subjunctive posted:Which infrastructure? I don’t mean the GeForce Experience application itself, but rather just having canned settings that match the Deck’s capabilities, which can be dropped into the config location as defaults. The game instrumentation for automated benchmarking and configuration tweaking that's necessary to figure the "optimal" canned settings in the first place.

It would be a really big win for the steam os if it could set TDP on a per game basis. Right now it requires user intervention and it’s a bit of a pain to figure out which settings work best. Like if you want to run Stardew it would auto down clock to 5w and you would get 5 hours of battery.

Right now it requires user intervention and it’s a bit of a pain to figure out which settings work best. Shouldn't that be mostly automatic as long as you enable vsync? If it's not using the full performance of the chip to hit 60fps it should be able to downclock itself A toggle to force half-vsync at 30fps would be good though

Subjunctive posted:Apple calls this “App Nap”, I think. I had to double check but it’s actually for background apps. I’m not sure Apple does it? quote:App Nap is a new power saving feature in Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. When an application is completely hidden behind other windows and is not currently executing a task like playing music or checking for e-mail, Mavericks will deem that app “inactive” and put it to sleep to save power and free up your computer’s resources. This can have an adverse effect on your audio applications.

Steam Deck Deposit is #2 on the Top Sellers list behind the Index. I know this is done on dollar amount, so considering the deposit is $5 bucks vs. the Index's $999 seems like quite a few of the Steam Decks have been reserved.

I know this is done on dollar amount, so considering the deposit is $5 bucks vs. the Index's $999 seems like quite a few of the Steam Decks have been reserved. I think there's a pretty massive amount of interest, though whether that five dollar down payment actually translates to people buying the full device kind of remains to be seen. Just interest is good, though, I think. The main failure of the Steam controller came down mostly to bad marketing, imo.
