stuker posted:Is there anything in particular you've tweaked for XCOM 2? Performance seemed pretty rough when I tried it out, though ProtonDB mentions the GE version working better and I haven't given that a shot yet. Question is a couple days old, but i hope this is still helpful: I did actually turn down some in-game graphical effects, forgot about that. It defaulted to the maximum settings, which do not make sense to me in portable mode. So i turned the graphics to "High" instead. Just the inn-game presets, no further tinkering. I did not change whatever other standard setting the game has on steam deck. I am sure, there is more room for optimization but i did not see a need yet. Technically i am playing the War of the Chosen Version, which might be different. There is a launcher to select vanilla XCOM 2 or WOTC.

So I got that "Feirsh" case and yeah it's basically the same as the JSAUX one. They're not 100% identical (most prominently, those two loops for an add-on strap are missing) but it's close enough where I'd suggest going with the much cheaper one.PageMaster posted:Sure, I used this one Thank you for this!

I'm going to put out another warning about the 8BitDo Ultimate. Check out ETA Prime's review. Analog trigger support appears problematic. If you just want to use it as a Pro Controller (Bluetooth) and don't need analog triggers then it's fine. It's still baffling to me why they changed up their previous four-way compatibility modes they had been using on the SN30 Pro series.

I remember how bummed I was finally getting the Airs and realizing they looked like garbage with my eyes so this was a huge relief. On the flip-side, where I was previously stuck trying my best to to justify still playing games on my gaming PC build just finished last year instead of my deck all the time, now I also get to be stuck trying to justify playing on my 34" gaming monitor instead of these AR lenses. I do like my gaming monitors just because I get higher resolutions and frames and gsync, plus it's a lot more comfortable to use (the Air's do give me eye strain) and I can multitask. BUT, the Air's give me about the same visual field as my monitor does, looks sharper, and are basically a large OLED screen, which gives you all the benefits of those (very vibrant colors, high contrast, and while not technically HDR, the brights actually feel really bright) compared to my IPS monitor. Also, the speakers aren't really talked about much, but I think are really good and a huge plus (I love them on my Bose Tempo frames and these are pretty much the same). I've basically been slowly buying my way out of using my computer because of the Steam Deck without realizing it and I'm not sure how I feel about it; I never thought I'd be asking, "is it really worth booting up the PC for this?"

How’s the Deck perform hooked up to a living room TV? I’ve been thinking about getting a “couch potato PC” and if the Deck+Dock works well that way it seems like it’s easily the most cost effective option. It seems a little silly getting a handheld for primarily TV gaming, but I barely ever use my Switch undocked and I still like it plenty.

It seems a little silly getting a handheld for primarily TV gaming, but I barely ever use my Switch undocked and I still like it plenty. If you want a PC, in theory you'd get much better performance out of a 30W+ TDP AMD Ryzen 6000 APU like the upcoming ASUS PN53, but the cost is definitely going to be higher than the (heavily subsidized) 64 GB Deck model, probably closer to the 512 one. There's some cheaper mini PCs, like the ASUS PN51-S1 which Amazon has on sale for $349 (you still have to add RAM and a disk). Also these older models tend to use DDR4 RAM, so the Deck still beats them in memory bandwidth (LPDDR5). But with this option you're still (partially) building a PC, installing Windows or Pop!_OS, and janitoring it yourself. So yes, you're right that using the Deck permanently docked might be the most cost effective option and perhaps the one with the least headache just given Valve's investment and its popularity, even if ultimately it's performance limited compared to mini-PC equivalents. It just "feels" wrong. ExcessBLarg! fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Nov 5, 2022 |

i think it's a great idea if they want to use it as a console for deck verified games. but if you're not in love with the deck specifically you won't want to do the research, setup, maintenance involved in getting it to do everything you want. what matters is the games you want to play. buy whatever plays them best.

You might run into issues with blurry upscaling unless the game is able to run at least 1080p, but otherwise it's absolutely fine.

Been playing Chronicon on the deck. Battery lasts forever and it's a great 2d Diablo 3 like game. Had to run under proton experimental because otherwise one of the very few buttons (select) doesn't map on the deck. Just happens to be the inventory button which is really inconvenient in this type of game, lol. Feels better doing this than trying to emulate a mouse and having more commands available to me at least because the controller support seems decent otherwise.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Honestly I'd like not recommend it on principle. The Xbox Series S is probably the most cost effective option if you're not tied specifically to Steam/PC. MarcusSA posted:The series s is going to be $240 at Costco starting on the 17th and yeah it’s a great way to go tbh. I’ve got a Series X already, actually! But there’s stuff I want to play that’s only available on PC. Ideally a stronger non-Linux PC would cover everything on that list, but a Steam Deck would probably handle 90% of it for a fraction of the price. I’ll probably just keep it theoretical for now, it’s not like I have a lack of games to play. But it’s good to know more about it, so thanks for the input everyone.

Anyone playing Minecraft (ideally the Bedrock variant of whatever) on the Deck? Thinking of getting one for a friend’s kid for Christmas because the iPad experience is so bad. I was thinking of building a PC with her starting from my spare parts (Ryzen 3600, 1080 non-Ti, some barely-used SSD) but she could take a Deck to her dad’s as well, and then just dock it to a monitor/keyboard/mouse at home. That’s all predicated on Minecraft playing well on the Deck though, and I haven’t had time to get it set up and try it out. Anybody know what the score is?

Chubby Henparty posted:MCPElauncher runs fine, but may still be a couple of updates behind the current android/bedrock versions, which may affect online play ^^So the android store one works fine if you own it, except its not up to date with the newest releases. Apparently the back end changes significantly each update and the main dev isn't overly enthusiastic about working on it due to getting abused for not letting people play with ripped apks or something. Failing that java versions work OK, and also streaming from your desktop if you bind the keys to the pads (my minecraft days are over except for when my son wants me to join him, so spent lots of time seeing how this would work) e: as a gift for a child: at this point only if they can deal with java mc / don't want to have guaranteed access to the marketplace or playing with friends Chubby Henparty fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Nov 5, 2022 |

The way I see it the switch was designed to be played at home but you could also take it on the go. Where the Steam Deck was designed to be taken on the go first, where playing at home is kind of secondary. The switch is so uncomfortable to hold in my hands now.

got one of those K380 keyboards, works pretty good with the deck(aside from this weird bug in Steam UI where selecting the search bar with a keyboard or mouse instead of game controls causes it to make this annoying clicking sound forever until you deselect the search bar) also making this post from Chrome in Desktop mode cause why not(was testing how YouTube works on here and I figured why not)

He also recommended locking it at 30fps instead of changing the refresh rate to 50 if he was getting frame drops. The game seems pretty single core CPU limited or something like that when a lot of NPCs are on the screen (my 3900X/3080 PC drops into the 70s on the title screen and the settings can't do anything about it). Since running on Deck at 1080 gives a nice pass of supersample antialiasing I think the unqualified Switch recommendation is a weird one, and shows a lack of familiarity with how the Deck works. Oliver Mackenzie's coverage has been improving but I think he's missed the mark there. Also, speaking as someone who has both the original Switch and a Lite, I'm definitely not in any way inclined to spend money on any more Nintendo hardware without a significant power boost. I'd rather buy an Ayaneo Air if I wanted a portable OLED.
