ExcessBLarg! posted:Isn't that why they tell you to put batteries in your carry on? So in the event they do catch fire it'll be noticed and dealt with unlike if it was stuck in cargo. Yep. Planes have equipment to put it out as long as it's in the cabin and accessible. I don't expect they'll change anything. The only way to prevent it is to not allow people to bring electronics at all which uh, I doubt.

Only one I saw said it was a laptop battery. Anyway it doesn't matter. They change stuff when there's a pattern, like those Samsung phones that kept blowing up. Grand Fromage fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Feb 8, 2023 |

lol @ this advice quote:Rezende added that the more charged a battery is, the more flammable it can be. He recommends flying with batteries charged at 30% or below.

apparently signed for and delivered means scribbling a signature and leaving it at the front door but otherwise got my stoom dook, updated and charging, desk job was a fun short little experience I like how the box tells you all the places you can use it but I wouldn't recommend the test chamber personally

It really helps that this is the comfiest handheld I have handheld. The other day though, I bought something and the deck restarted. Plus the day before, I quit a game and it never brought the screen back. Holding the steam button down would show the overlay, but choosing any option went back to the dark screen. You could hear me pressing buttons because the sound worked, it was just as if the screen was stuck showing a black picture. It was on because the menu would appear. Both these have me worried because I love this little gizmo and do not want it to break!

Grand Fromage posted:Only one I saw said it was a laptop battery. The Note 7 actually had batteries that were faulty from the factory (rather than anything that affected most other devices or needed to be "changed.") MarcusSA posted:lol @ this advice To be fair, it does reference a real thing, in that a more energized Lithium battery that's punctured can go into thermal runaway. You can't meaningfully use many devices at on 30% state-of-charge, however, so it's not a real solution.

Tried a few Steam Fest demos on the Deck. Gonna give a big recommendation Tape to Tape, a great-looking nhl9- esque rogue-lite. A lot of fun and plays flawlessly on the Deck too. I also tried The Last Case of Benedict Fox, but it had significant FPS issues. Hopefully, they can optimize in time for launch.

I worked the tech support desk at a computer retailer for a while and someone once handed me a laptop battery and asked if it felt charged, because a charged battery would weigh more than a flat one.

Horn posted:Has anyone tried running Freespace open on the deck? Its always been on my to-play list and I'm wondering how well that would work with the deck's control setup. I haven't tried that game but if you're willing to watch a youtube tutorial etc and experiment, the Edit Controller Layout functionality is incredibly powerful These are the default controls for Mechwarrior 3:  I was able to comfortably fit 80% of those (didn't bother with "look around cockpit" or "jumpjet left" etc bc I never use those) on the Deck using virtual menus etc. Radial menus seem popular but I hate those so mine are hotbars. I have menus for Lancemates, View/Radar, and Power and toggle them by holding down the X or Y button. Trackpad handles the crosshairs and you can adjust the sensitivity etc. If you're not sure about controls, give it a shot! You'd be amazed what this machine lets you pull off.

Lemme know if this is verboten, but has anyone had luck getting Fire Emblem engage running nicely on the deck? It kinda runs ok with Yuzu but the portraits are squashed and it stutters a lot in larger areas and in menus.

Switch emulation is hit-or-miss depending on the title. Some titles Yuzu on the Deck runs better than the Switch, others it can't even launch.

I like this because it is 100% true a charged battery weighs more, but you would need one hell of a scale to tell the difference.

You could try Ryujinx, sometimes when a game doesn't work well on Yuzu it might work in Ryujinx.

I went a lil wild this week and bought 2 jsaux docks, bringing me up to a total of 3, now I can play at my desk, on the TV or in the bedroom and the deck is always fully charged when I want to play somewhere other than that. Loving it!

The same is true of a floppy disk that's full vs one that was formatted. The difference is in fractions of a nanogram or some poo poo, but it's there.

Is there a youtube channel for the Steam Deck thats something like Bob Wulff or NintendoLife is for the Switch? I am seeing a ton of shakycam videos of the reflection of the phone in the deck screen with like 19 views.

ok, you know when you try to force quit a game and it doesn't? i think i just figured out that it's trying to show you a dialog box. but it can't because steamos doesn't really have windows. the question is how to alt tab to that dialog box? alt-tab works... sometimes? but i don't think for this specifically. my switch pro controller's select button does an alternate tab/window display thing for some reason, but it's not alt-tab it's something that's similar to alt tab.

So far, when I've wanted to install non-steam games, they were all games that came with some sort of online guide. I've never just looked at an old game and thought to myself "I'll 100% add this and get it to work." Until now. I want to run Capture the Flag on the deck, and I think I know how to do it, but I'm not sure. 1. Go into desktop mode 2. Download and extract the game to a location. 3. Go into the desktop version of steam and add the game's executable as a non-steam game. 4. Go back to steam deck mode, and mess around with the compatibility from there until something works. And then edit the controls accordingly. Does that sound reasonable? Or should I just install DOSbox and go from there?

Plop into DOS folder, run steam rom manager, play from game mode. Or just run retroarch directly. Retroarch has two different dosbox versions installed, I don't know the diff. Both worked for me.

Probably the easiest way is to install DOSBox-X, and add DOSBox-X as a non-Steam game. If you want a separate Steam icon for Capture the Flag you could add DOSBox-X again, but change the "flatpak run" command to automatically run the DOS executable. If it was a Steam-native game that Steam runs through DOSBox (probably the Windows version via Proton) you could use Boxtron as a compatibility layer alternative to use Proton DOSBox. You'd still install the DOSBox-X flatpak, then edit your ~/.config/boxtron.conf to issue the correct flatpak run command, which is probably something like: code:ExcessBLarg! fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Feb 8, 2023 |

RetroGameCorps has some Deck videos, but they're more focused on all portable PC things. JSAUX sent out an email to people who ordered their transparent back that new colors are coming soon and attached this:  Some nice rear end colors. They also said that anyone that ordered previously can use the code "PC0106" to get $10 off for a new cover. Dunno if that'll work with new orders but whatever. The new colors aren't up for order yet.

Playing Darkest Dungeon for the first time on the deck and accidentally deleted all the loot from killing the Fanatic for the first time because the A and B buttons are reversed on the Deck. Two people dead and the other traumatized forever for nothing
