Papercut posted:I played rf inquis mostly on the deck last league and it's pretty good. It actually runs better than it does on my PC lol. But also I found that I'd rather just play other genres that are better suited for controller. Yeah I think I would be better suited playing other stuff on the deck but it's nice to know it's an option now! playing PoE on my PS5 was always going to be a no-go since I have like thousands of dollars in MTX on steam and they don't cross platform that stuff for whatever reason My PC is a 10 year old i7 3220k or something like that, with a 970 gtx. I imagine the deck can do as good or better lol

ExcessBLarg! posted:It should work, but it's probably overkill. I'd recommend the Anker 713 (Nano II 45W) or 715 (Nano II 65W). Those two will perform identically on the deck and are essentially the same size. Occasionally the 65W model goes on sale, as it is right now, so it's currently $5 cheaper than the 45W. This goes on sale for $65 often and might be a little more versatile for most people - it can charge your laptop at 100w! Limited-time deal: Anker 100W USB C Charger, 736 Charger (Nano II 100W), 3-Port Fast Compact Wall Charger for MacBook Pro/Air, Google Pixelbook, ThinkPad, Dell XPS, iPad Pro, Galaxy S22/S20, iPhone 13/Pro, and More https://a.co/d/dWdn9bN

Chas McGill posted:How are you controlling it? the default controller configuration, which they added in at some point to the PC version. abilities on face + shoulder buttons, potions on d-pad + bumpers (most custom set-ups seems to reverse this, presumably because accessing your potions quickly will become more important when the game gets hard). it plays a lot like the console versions of diablo except, you know, better. it's also running at a butter smooth 60fps so far with default graphics but i'm only in act 2.

Any recommendations for shooter games to adjust to the gyro controls? I'm not that used to it, and I figure jumping into something like Ultrakill, which I'm not good at with KB&M, wouldn't be the best way to learn.

Got my deck yesterday and swapped the hard drive. Those tiny shield screws are tight and I nearly stripped one. Otherwise painless process. I need to open it back up again because there's a rattle around the left trigger when gently shaking the deck. This was there before I started though. Saw another post where a guy find an extra screw in his, who knows what I'll get... So far I've played zero games and spent a good few hours setting up and downloading junk. I've never used Linux in any form so this is a bit of a learning curve. Feels like there still a billion little things I don't know.

Welp, thanks thread, I got my Deck yesterday, plugged it in, set it up, sniffed the top vent, and played Vampire Survivors for 2 hours. I think there's something in the vent fumes, because I'd been thinking you were all weirdos for freaking out about VS but drat if it isn't enjoyable.

I haven't used steam in like 20 years, where I had hl2, Peggle nights, C-S, TF2, and portal. Maybe a few other things. But somewhere along the line I made a SECOND steam account and recently realized, wait a minute, my Peggle is gone! I contacted steam and they can Not merge accounts, even when it's the same email address. So I'd have to log into my old account if I wanted to play those games which blows, but is not the end of the world. Thanks for nothing steam! Anyway sorry for rant . I am going to try to get the PS5 streamy thing working on here today

Wilkins Micawber posted:The deck is good but I am really not big on the plastics they used in it's construction. I'm really sensitive to these things I think. The body is fine enough, albeit pretty rough and kinda cheap feeling, which makes hand oil stand out. But my god, the track pads make my skin crawl kinda like I'm eating an M&M and the outer coating is starting to dissolve to reveal the gritty layer underneath. loving blech! Yeah I think I have OCD before you ask. What the gently caress

Oh hell yeah. I only have The Orange Box for 360, and right now the disc drive doesn't open, so this rules. Thank u Being out of the Valve Loop for so many years, I bet there are all kinds of free games that just don't get talked about anymore. I really enjoyed Aperture Desk Job.

Supposedly the Deck handles multiple accounts pretty well, you might just be able to stick both your accounts on there if you still have the username and password for your first one and just swap around when you need to. I'm not sure because I've only ever had one Steam account, but it's what I've heard.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1059990/Trombone_Champ/ This is a goon game that just came out but I think it's something special on the deck. Download one of the gyro controls and invert the controls and I think you have one of the coolest uses of the deck yet.

Anybody have any recommendations for a joystick cap that doesn't gently caress with the touch detection of the Deck? For whatever reason the texture of the sticks is making my thumbs feel weirdly itchy and I don't like it.

For whatever reason the texture of the sticks is making my thumbs feel weirdly itchy and I don't like it. None that I’m aware. Even the Gulikit Steam Deck stick replacements don’t come with them as they expect you to move the caps over for the touch sensors.

 of course it's already a thing... I mean, the battery and bad heat ventilation make the Deck the perfect machine to compile everything from source.

Personally I like it on the left trigger, but I can se wanting them on the capacitive stick buttons if you are using them constantly

All you people with weird texture issues (it's an autism thing, right? I always hated the feeling of paper towels growing up) should probably get a dbrand skin or something.

You can't run the same game more than once on the same account.

No it worked great for me. I have had quite a few deck games where the controller isn't recognized the first time I boot it up and have to restart it and it's fixed. Did you try that?

Did you turn controllers on in New Vegas's options? Fallout 3 & NV don't have dynamic controller support, you need to actually toggle between controller and KB&M in the options.

I didn’t see the option, when I went to key bindings and clicked on device it just switched from keyboard to mouse. As soon and I restarted after forced compatibility I saw new settings for the controller.

It's amazing how well RDR2 runs now after you increase the page file and use FSR. I'm getting around 40fps with the refresh rate at that and the Steam Deck is quiet. Love it.

Is there a straightforward way to install windows on the deck I put win 11 on an SD card but can't find any instructions to boot from the SD card, the only stuff I found was on the steam support page which said you'd need to wipe steamOS which seems uh, counterintuitive
