Stupid question: For emulation purposes, how do I get the game roms onto the microsd?

Has anybody managed to stream Deck gameplay to Discord? My friends are way too excited for me to play Outer Wilds, and one of them said if I was playing it I should just start streaming it to his Discord and he'd watch if he saw I was online, but I was planning on playing on the Deck and I don't know if that's, like, a thing you can do

History Comes Inside! posted:You do realise the plug-in developers and the decky developers are different people, right? It's just the irony of "ugh this breaks too much and we're sick of fixing it" when their own SW does the exact same thing. I've had to reinstall at least 3 times now. I can't complain though given the price.

You’re misunderstanding, the plug-in developer is the one who said “this plugin breaks too much and I’m sick of fixing it” because valve’s OS updates were breaking it, not changes to decky. The decky developers have absolutely nothing to do with it beyond removing it from the storefront since it was broken and no longer maintained so why leave it up History Comes Inside! fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Mar 27, 2023 |

I probably should have tried reimaging first but steam support jumped straight to RMA after a few basic tests. I guess I am deck-free for a few weeks. Fortunately since it's a deck and not a normal console I can just keep playing the same poo poo but on my normal PC.

Didn't even consider this because googling "how to transfer files to steam deck" gave me many different software based solutions without mentioning a usb drive. So I came here and asked what software was best because I had neve heard of most of them.

Interestingly, you can use the Remote Play functionality to stream from the steam deck to a PC (I just tested it), but the Steam broadcast stuff doesn't seem to be implemented yet (the stream just says it's not supported from that device) e: actually, if you do it from desktop mode you have the Steam Broadcast settings there,and the Deck claims it's broadcasting, but the stream is just loading forever. Might be worth investigating? e2: or the silly solution that definitely works: Use Remote Play from the deck to your PC, and then stream the PC screen on Discord

That's... a lot more steps than just setting a password and turning SSH on. Though I guess not every browser has SFTP support.

I love how 90% of people just need to get a few roms and iso files or whatever onto their gaben fun game machine thing, probably already own a USB stick or seven and still people are telling them to spend a good chunk of time learn how to use the linux terminal because otherwise you are doing it Wrong. Don't get me wrong, I love messing around with this kind of stuff and have spent hours fiddling with my retropie to get it just right, but I've decided to use the Deck as a mostly vanilla games thing for relaxing and will probably never be arsed enough to start loving around with the linux side of things. I was relieved to realize I mostly don't have to.

Got my first Steam Deck'd airplane flight today. Is the stock carrying case TSA compliant, or are they gonna make me take it out of the case for the xray? Also when does cloud sync happen? Do I need to boot every game, or does it synch every so often when it's on

Syncing happens automatically when you're online. Basically turn your deck on before going offline and let it autosync. It will say Steam cloud: up to date on the game page.

loquacius posted:Has anybody managed to stream Deck gameplay to Discord? With the caveat that I've only done this on Windows, not the Steam Deck: OBS + YouTube/Twitch is less intensive to stream for my potato GPU than streaming through Discord directly. You can have OBS create an unlisted YouTube live link for your friends, which you can share to them separately, and mute your mic audio within OBS so it's not coming through the stream twice (look up a tutorial on how to set up audio sources within OBS) Streaming directly through Discord usually causes my feed to lag or get distorted, and as I understand it's more resource intensive than OBS alone.

I have a literal drawer full of adapters and dongles, but I recognize that USB type-A to type-C isn't something most people experience often. Just use what's familiar, comfortable, and least hassle for you and your use case. Don't let the Linux people hear though.

I don't like using the terminal on the Steam Deck because typing on it is uncomfortable (I frequently mistakenly hit outside of the keyboard when trying to type numbers/characters from the top row, which closes the keyboard). I guess you can plug an actual keyboard into the Steam Deck if it uses USB-C? Or can it take Bluetooth?unruly posted:
I could never get into this stuff (I just use Visual Studio Code). I think it requires a certain kind of brain/mindset. I've seen coworkers using it and trying to sell it to me, but it seems like a lot of "hyper-optimization" doesn't actually save much time once you account for time learning/relearning new systems/tools (and accounting for mistakes in the process of doing so). The selling points are often things like "you can work with anything in a single program and do anything using just the keyboard and keys that are relatively close together," but when is stuff like that ever actually a bottleneck? I never find myself thinking "drat, if I only I could save the fraction of a second I lost by needing to click on a thing with my mouse." It's like some people just have a certain obsession/compulsion with "streamlining their workflow" and/or "curating their work environment" (that is sometimes even counterproductive). There's this one guy I know through work (he's sort of part of the community in our matrix channel rather than an employee) who created some Emacs plugin where he can search through his filesystem using these 3-letter codes (it's basically just a tagging system, but using weird unintuitive 3-letter codes), and it's the sort of thing that only makes sense if part of your brain is just deeply bothered by not saving 1-2 seconds when doing a particular task (in this case he was bothered by having to type longer words where the letters were further apart on the keyboard, so he created these 3-letter codes with the intent of the letters being easy to type together). I have no problem with people just having a personal preference for this stuff (you can make pretty much anything work for you, as long as you're comfortable with it), but in my experience many of these people seem incapable of comprehending that their own experience is not some universal truth and other people are not plagued by the same compulsions they are. For example, the guy with the Emacs plug-in mentioned above genuinely believed that everyone could benefit from it and that it was solving a real problem (rather than obviously being the result of some sort of optimization/efficiency compulsion specific to himself). Command line stuff is good for certain things (it's a lot easier to write a command line program than one with a GUI, so many command line tools exist that don't have GUI alternatives), but I don't really see the advantage for something like editing documents/code - that just seems more like personal preference.

The terminal is miserable to use with the built-in keyboard because it’s straight up missing keys I don’t think you can do stuff like Ctrl-C either I managed to struggle through it to configure and run some python stuff while stuck in a hospital room but it was seriously frustrating
