Lord Bob posted:I'm not sure if drag-dropping it into applications would work - but the way to add an application to the applications menu is to create a .desktop file for it in ~/.local/share/applications. "KDE Menu Editor" is… a menu editor. It makes .desktop files. It ships with KDE Plasma. The files it generates aren't as pretty as hand-written ones with multiple languages and whatnot, but they work.

I updated a bunch of stuff that I was prompted to update in desktop mode and it hosed up all my tools, proton badges, etc. Was there some kind of update to something that changed the way stuff works in the last month or two?

Has anyone tried Dungeonmans on the deck? It's 'unsupported' but there's a review from someone saying it runs great.

For those of you with no plans to take the Deck apart, how did you decide which model to get? Considering getting the 256gb model and maybe get a larger SD card if I need to, later on. I'm mostly just planning on emulating games and playing some older stuff that my friends keep recommending me - like Twilight Princess or the Tellius Fire Emblem games.

I also had no plans to disassemble mine, but I keep bumping up against the 512 limit rather easily, so I will probably buy the 2TB whenever that's in stock (I'd buy a 4TB if it was $300 instead but that may come out when we got the steam deck 2) Now, I'm half tempted to see if there are any custom resin? A/B/X/Y buttons in other colors of symbols too...

rosenritter posted:For those of you with no plans to take the Deck apart, how did you decide which model to get? I went 64GB + 512GB MicroSD and don't regret anything. If you mostly play older games, I think you'd be fine with that configuration. The vast majority of the games I keep installed on this thing are either from the 90's or small indie stuff inspired by that era of gaming. Even the 512GB MicroSD is overkill for me, honestly. The big argument against the 64GB model is that this space fills up quickly with the shader cache. This hasn't been an issue for me with my usage and even if it was, there's a very simple script out there which clears this to create space. I'm not even sure if shader caching is a thing at all for Emulation or using EmuDeck? The shader cache does fill up quickly if you are loading up your Deck with big modern AAA stuff, but that might not align with your usage.

Seeing the microsd speeds in practice I will not be opening it. I'm playing current games on it. Do not open your Deck! People are doing it because they can, but it's a solution to nonexistent problem.

MarcusSA posted:Did anyone try Diablo 4 on their deck? I posted on Saturday but in short, it’s not bad. It has the stutter on the overworld that everyone seems to be getting but in a dungeon it was pretty happy at 50fps with FSR on. I’ll be going on a trip around the time it comes out so having the deck as an option is going to be nice.

Thanks to whoever posted about boneraiser minions- so far its fab and way more appealing than vampire survivors. The main thing that put me off VS is that it feels so janky (comes from being a javascript game i guess) and looks so poo poo. Like for a game that made so much money it still looks loving awful. Boneraiser feels much more like a game with systems that interlock, rather than just a broken builds test chamber.

"Ooh, a bunch of silhouettes fighting each other..." Honestly, the art style (and it being better than MS overall) is what turned me on to VS. I absolutely adore the 8 and 16 bit Castlevania games, so this feels like some sort of officially sanctioned fan game, and I truly don't understand how Konami hasn't even attempted to sue. I mean, some of these sprites...

The Saddest Rhino posted:There's a 10% sale for the deck, I have family in America. It isn't available in South East Asia. This idea was abandoned after I posted, I went on Facebook and found a guy selling a 64gb with a 1tb lite on ssd for a surprising price and jumped on it. And now I have a steam deck. I have played an hour of yakuza 0 on it already and I am slightly in awe of how well it performs. I'm considering reformatting then dual booting it with a steam and Windows setup, so it is easier for me to play indie stuff like streets of rage remake, itch games or just stuff where only a zip can be found on some obscure chinese bbs a decade ago. I assume this is a good starting point? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEpcBWX9K_o I may also get emu deck, which I know hardly anything about, on it and see if I can finally play super Mario galaxy 2, connect a ps4 controller, and be a child again

This is a shot in the dark, but if anyone upgraded from 256/512 and wants to sell the original SSD for $20/$40 I'll buy it. I posted an SA Mart thread to make it official, and for other people to buy/sell since there are probably going to be a lot of new Steam Deck owners in the next few weeks.

Party Boat posted:A lot of them got changed as development progressed so I'm assuming that there were a few that were either direct lifts from Castlevania games or too close for comfort. That's crazy to me that the stuff left over is what made it through. I mean, the swamp men from CV3 and bone pillars, with two heads facing opposite directions... Like.... Those are loving CV enemies. It's not like the bats, 'hey, bats are common iconography, it could be any bat' etc etc. I don't know, are bone pillars with two animal skulls facing different directions a common monster found in classic horror? Hmmm? Anyway, I'm glad for it, but it is not subtle whatsoever. I honestly think that maybe Konami just either missed it or doesn't care.

I ordered the 512gb version cause gently caress it, I got really tired of watching my face on the Switch. I know, I'm paying a premium for what could be fixed by installing my own ssd and putting a screen protector on. I just need to have it now. How much of a hassle is installing Forza Motorsport 7 on the Deck? I have it on MS Store and it apparently runs really well on the deck, I'm kinda excited to give it a go.

I managed to bag a brand new 512GB WD SSD for £55, and at that price I'd have been insane not to just upgrade myself, but I did have to wait a couple of weeks as it was on back order.

I do not often play driving games other than burnout but someone said the horizon series was a little like burnout and I thought my steam deck could do with a driving game. I am currently racing in a pink lotus with black swishes alongside the sides and my call sign is Treacle The pulse radio station is very good for driving too. Plus both Horizon 4 and 5 are on sale so it was a no brainer to give 4 a try.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:In my experience, you can easily run all of that stuff without Windows. You just need to use the desktop mode to download the game, run the installer as a non-steam game with proton enabled (in properties -> compatibility), then remove that installer and add the installed executable as a non-steam game with proton. Ohh I didn't know about that, let me try that out before I do something more drastic like what I planned. Just played pizza tower on the deck and it's like a dream
