I would legit buy a SteamOS console if they made one (slash went back to making steamMachines, though the licensing model sucks, just gimme one flat performance target for developers to aim at and let me buy it for console prices) and brought out a new / reissued steam controller for it. Just the ability to sleep PC games and resume them and it... Just Working with the majority of games is peaches.

I mean they’re going to be releasing a general installer for SteamOS so nothing is stopping you from building one to the specs you want once that’s out.

I want console gaming, I want a big company to just let me give them £400 and I get an xbox but it can play steam games. Though I guess the sleep mode knocking out all auto-updates would hit a bit worse on a console than it does on the deck

I was at 91.78% on Monday which was an increase of 11.43%. This puts me in the possibility window that today could be my day.

I really do hope they reissue the Steam Controller, or maybe a revised version of it. I'd definitely be into it. I like playing docked from time to time, but my SN30 Pro 2 doesn't quite cut it. I have to use gyro because there's no trackpad, which means I have to run it in Switch mode which means no analog triggers. I guess a DS4 would "fix" that and even has the touchpad but it's not the same thing.

If they made it extremely similar ergonomically to the Deck that'd be a good idea. The steam controller just didnt feel great and I didn't like it. There was only one stick for some reason, and the glossy plastic was a weird choice-- instant dust and smudge. It could work, but it definitely didn't.

I still have my Steam Controller from forever ago - thankfully with the AA battery decision nothing exploded while it was sitting in a bin for a few years. Been using it docked, still feels pretty good, though the shape feels a little weird even now - the buttons are just a little too far from my thumbs to be comfortable and the triggers don't feel too great, though the deck has pretty much the same setup there. It was still a really solid concept and I do hope they try it again with the ergo lessons they've learned from the Deck itself. Anyway I'm playing God of War on a portable system and this poo poo rules.

Days Gone is on sale on Fanatacial for $17. It is a really good game that was slammed by journalists because it wasn't made by Nintendo or Microsoft. Runs like a dream on the Deck.

Currently installing Destiny 2! Let me know what you think! I think it runs ok (besides the loading) I set the resolution scale down to 95 but I don’t think that actually did anything noticeable. worms butthole guy posted:Days Gone is on sale on Fanatacial for $17. It is a really good game that was slammed by journalists because it wasn't made by Nintendo or Microsoft. Runs like a dream on the Deck. Days gone is a lot of fun. I played through it on the PS5 and I’m considering getting it for the deck. Same with Horizon Zero dawn.

Also windows keeps shutting down vs sleeping if left for too long. I checked the power plan and it should be sleeping. Windows sleep mode sucks rear end though.

windows randomly updating is why I avoid it at all costs. we got moved to windows in work after 5 years of macOS and it loving sucks. I’d prefer to use Linux tbh

I enjoyed Days Gone. Didn't finish it, it's certainly not a great game but it is fun for a while to ride a Harley through the wilds of Oregon . I don't regret my time with it.

Days Gone is good. Gameplay is more deliberate and exploratory than zombie horde killing trailers may indicate. More State of Decay sans a bunch of mechanics than Serious Sam.

Does running the Steam Deck on a big 4K TV actually look good? I know games won't actually run in 4k but will it be a good experience?

Was pleasantly surprised to see it estimated as a Q4 shipment, if I have this thing by Christmas I'll be very happy. I reserved at the start of the month this assuming that I'd be ordering in November at the earliest (after my first improved pay packet) but at the rate the queues are apparently moving I might be paying for this sometime in early October lol

ExcessBLarg! posted:I'm not convinced that Switch emulation is "there" yet. Maybe in a few generations. Besides, unless you need to have all your games on a single device the Switch is plenty portable. Switch emulation is shakey, true, but apparently there's some Steam Deck specific performance improvements coming down the pipe so we'll see how much better it gets. I'm totally one of those "all games on one device" type, edge case users though, but my gaming split is about 1% Switch titles compared to the 99% of PC games I play when it comes to my gaming time spent and I definitely don't want to haul a Switch around on the off chance I want to play Kirby or something. The irony in my case is that I've put more time into my Switch library because of the Deck through emulation than I have in the last 2 years on the Switch itself. Also I'm okay with not giving Nintendo money for subpar experiences. Lord Bob posted:
Don't even built the PC then, just buy one and install Steam OS on it.
