Yeah, just going to return the SSD and grab a MicroSD for now, it seems that Microcenter is charging the same price for 512GB as the 1TB ones are on Amazon (as far as Sandisk Extreme anyway). Guess I'll be going to Amazon for this one 😫

From a while back, but I wanted to chime in that I have been using trackpad as mouse in trackball mode plus gyro for fine adjustments to play FPS games since DOOM 2016 with a steam controller. It works well. The Deck works even more nicely with this since it's got the extra back buttons, which I like to bind to jump/interact/etc. depending on the game. Some games handle simultaneous kb/m and controller input no problem, but for games that get wonky when you do that, I'll use steam input to map the left stick to WASD and the face/back buttons to whatever keys the game uses. WASD on stick isn't super great, but it works. I like how the left trackpad acts as a scroll wheel in desktop mode. I'd like to experiment with that in games for cycling weapons. I used to just build a custom menu for it to quickly switch weapons, but setting those up for every game gets a bit tedious. e: I've been getting into city builder games lately. Farthest Frontier is only getting about 30 fps at a population of about 60, so I don't expect it to perform well later into the game. I will say it's a more consistent 30, and runs more smoothly than on my desktop, which tends to stutter and hang a lot, but gets better framerates overall. Anybody have city building game recommendations that run well on this thing? skeletronics fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Mar 14, 2023 |

Does Conan Exiles run on this thing? It's down to a tenner and about the only craftosurvivo I haven't tried out yet but people seem very hot on it. Protondb says "maybe" so I was hoping someone here might've tried.

History Comes Inside! posted:I can’t imagine playing either portal on a controller as an especially great time, some of those on-the-move placements are pretty tight Given how customisable the deck is, is it possible to do a joint controller/mouse setup? It would maybe require some good arm strength (or propping the deck against something) but connecting a Bluetooth mouse to replace the right stick, while keeping the left stick for movement/strafing sounds like it would be quite comfy. Is that possible?

A million years ago, people asked about modding FF12 on the Deck-- myself included. Since you can't run Vortex, there are some things you gotta do, but it's super easy-- easier than I thought. 1) Download FF12 on a normal PC 2) mod the game with Vortex 3) move the entire FF12 folder onto your Deck at the correct install location, deleting anything that was already there (which you can find/create by starting and cancelling the FF12 download on your deck) 4) enter this in the launch options on your Deck: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% That's it!

If BOTW is anything to go by, it'll probably play better on the Deck.

I doubt there's a single cross-platform PC/Switch game that won't run and look better on the Deck. Different story with emulated ones, though.

I played BOTW when it launched on Wii U and did a pretty bare-bones very blind vanilla playthrough. Early last year I played it again on PC with higher resolution, higher fps, and some mods. Got all the shrines and started with the motorcycle. Finished the DLC I bought years ago and didn't touch. Both were fantastic experiences. Hope to do it again with the sequel.

Ever since I got a Steam Deck, I've been prioritizing purchases on that compared to the Switch. My main concern is that when they announce the Switch 2 (or whatever), it won't be backwards compatible or have a cartridge slot. Meanwhile, any purchase on Steam is good for any computer you want to install it on going forward, with shared cloud saves for a lot of games. Plus there are way more sales on Steam keys. It's kind of a no brainer.

I still think playing Doom 2016 on Deck if you've ever played it on Switch is one of the biggest "holy poo poo" experiences you can have with a Steam Deck. I'm not making GBS threads on the Switch version either, which is still one of those rare "miracle ports" that I enjoyed a ton, but other than a bit of settings tinkering it's just a no-compromise experience on Deck. It's the most drastic graphics and performance glow up I've come across between 2 handheld versions of the same game.

New Stable update's out and I'm pleased with how RE4 Remake runs (admittedly in low detail). Couldn't quite hit 40 when fighting in the village but it didn't drop below 30, either. Looking forward to that one.

I picked my Switch back up for the first time in months for Metroid Prime and after like an hour of handheld mode my wrists were hurting. They didn't do that before when playing the Switch. I can only conclude my body has become Deckified.
