Goddamn I love my loving deck and I've only had it two days. Instantly bought a mountain of SD cards and accessories for it. Outside of dredge, any other games or accessories to check out? Emulators are next up for me

Maenad posted:What have you already tried? / What in particular do you like? This list could be near endless, so a bit of context for what you've already given a chance would help. Thanks for this! I have been mostly playing Dead Cells on my Deck since getting it, it is great. Getting a little bored with having to replay the same intro levels endlessly though, but then that's the whole roguelike thing I guess  I played the hell out of Hades back when it was on Game Pass and it's excellent, really liked that one. I have PZ and Griftlands in my wishlist! Will add a couple of the others you mention on there and they look interesting, especially Jupiter Hell I need to get trying some emulators on here, and digging up roms of old favourites like stuff from the Amiga way back when.

ExcessBLarg! posted:I find gyro "as joystick" to be more forgiving than trackpad "as joystick", but changing it to "as mouse" may still be better if not preferable. If you want to stick with joystick emulation, turn down the in-game dead zones as much as possible, and in the Steam Input settings turn down the "Minimum Joystick X/Y Output Value" to match the in-game dead zones--too large and fine movements will feel jerky, too small and fine movements won't register at all, but there's a sweet spot around the in-game dead zone threshold that should feel smooth. Thanks, I’ll give this a shot tonight. I would leave it as mouse but every time I would use gyro and then try to use the controller inputs the game wouldn’t recognize any input for about a second while it switched from kb/m to controller.

AfricanBootyShine posted:Does the deck support HDR through the dock? Sounds like with the right adapters it could be a nice portable HTPC. No, Linux does not support HDR. Maybe if you set up Windows on it. Quantum of Phallus posted:Is the official Dock the only one that supports FreeSync? Any Laptop docking station that supports DisplayPort 1.3 or higher should work with FreeSync or adaptive sync. Most are 1.2 or below. You would be hard pressed to beat the price point of the Valve dock with any other name brand for that feature. Gyshall posted:Outside of dredge, any other games or accessories to check out?

ExcessBLarg! posted:If you got into Steam's properties for Plex you should see an option for "Game Resolution" which you should set to 1920x1080 or Native. Also when you connect an external monitor it will add an option for "Set resolution for internal and external display" which you should enable, but that won't appear unless you have an external display connected. Argghh, I'd looked in properties for something like that, and conveniently looked straight past it  Thanks fellow goon! Also, this isn't really the place to ask, but what's the difference between the HTPC Plex and the Plex-normal?

Desktop Dungeons is on sale for $3.75 if you buy it then you automatically get the upgraded version for free when it comes out in a few days. https://store.steampowered.com/app/226620/Desktop_Dungeons/ I’m going to assume this will be great on the deck.

Crossposting from the Steam thread: Jesus Christ, need some help here. Steam did that weird hiccup it often does where it 'forgets' where a library folder is. No dramas, just went back and pointed it back to the missing one. Except now nothing on Proton will launch, regardless on install location, not even spitting out a log for PROTON_LOG=1 (the compatdata folders regenerate, but empty). I have full permissions to all these folders, they are ext4 not nfts, etc. It's rapidly approaching "flatten OS and reinstall" levels here. I know Linux stuff is outside the scope of this thread a bit, but I'm rather alarmed and there really isn't a good place to get help on the net about this except maybe reddit or github, which are stretches. Am panicking at the thought of having lost thousands of dollars of goods and there isn't even a bloody phone number to call.

It's been an expensive fortnight in the Skidoo household: 2TB 2230 from AliExpress, Crystal JSAUX cover (which has been coveted for some time, but the heat sink put me off until just now) and an enclosure so I can clone my drive and not have to configure my deck again. Hopefully everything'll be in my hotter than usual hands due to being directly on top of the heat sink of the transparent cover and I'll be watching my tracking info less.

I’m very disappointed in myself. I fell asleep playing NMS on the deck last night, and I woke up 6 hrs later, my character still chilling on the planet surface, and the fan running pretty good on the deck. That’s 6 whole hours of ventsmell right out the loving window.

Hah, yeah I have to be careful playing NMS before bed because the relaxing music and chill vibe will sometimes make me start to nod off. That's if I'm not hunting pirates or exciting things like that of course. Such a great game and I'm glad I never played it until I got my Deck.

I couldn't do anything with it last night but at some point today I should get my enclosure so I can clone the drive and upgrade it. .....hrm....I should clean out some hard drive space then so I can actually store the clone... I bought an ifixit kit because I wasn't sure I had the right tools to open the steam deck, except it looks like that kit is going to take ten days to ship from california. Somehow, an item I purchased from china is going to get here in the same time it takes to ship an item domestically. That's dumb.

It sucks you have a problem but you haven’t ‘lost’ them when they can just be re-downloaded, this is a wild way to interpret the issue. The way you’re talking here makes it sound like they’re gone forever and ever instead of just needing to be reinstalled at worst.

I haven't used the pillow for playing the deck, but I have used it to help me hold up my child when I would rock him in the middle of the night. I don't even need to imagine how well they work for the deck. I definitely know. Sadly, my kids are older than either my wife and I needing a nursing pillow anymore, but goddammit, I wish we had kept it now.

Serephina posted:Jesus Christ, need some help here. Don't nuke it yet! 1. Steam itself? you may have clicked the "mount" button when inserting an SD card in desktop mode, which screws it all up; this can be coped with sometimes by copy and pasting your games where it wants them 2. The file browser/explorer "forgets?" This is a weird one, perhaps unique to the platform, and I'm delighted that I was able to figure it out. If a folder is invisible, (to everything except terminal) and it's not due to being hidden or something. use the "touch" command. cruft posted:
I think the first time I used the fix it was a simpler command like "find /home/deck/eldensoulsii/ touch" I just touched the folder and didn't have to touch all the files within it Another thing i learned at the same time: SD doesnt have pip or yay. And it can't, unless you do advanced operations that are inadvisable. those help install certain apps, so you won't be able to install certain apps, that's why people tell you to find flatpaks; they don't depend on you having anything special. one goon had the following advice to help me use an app that won't install on steam deck: Computer viking posted:You may want to look into distrobox - it's similar to flatpacks, but you run a complete linux distro instead of a single application.

i don't think anyone posted this bundle link here https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/platroguevanialike-sale/?partner=nintendeal that's not my affilliate link, it's red's there are a lot of people here getting a steam deck who are behind on games, these are a good catch up opportunity with stuff that "should" be in your library like hollow knight, blasphemous, noita, risk of rain. I don't care about those personally except blasphemous, my recommendation is monster sanctuary which is a charming nice deck game with cute monsters and many combat options.
