Here's one  The issue I was having with Outer Wilds where the "launching" icon wouldn't leave the screen and I could hear the game music but couldn't actually do anything, it turns out, was not specific to Outer Wilds. It happened on every game. I did a hard reset (hold down the power button until the Deck turns off) and that solved it.

That happened to me in Outer Wilds but I think it was because I accidentally canceled out of the DLC informational message (instead of confirming it) because I was trying to make the on-screen keyboard go away after it prompted me for a profile.

I don't know if this is a greencube, but I thought it was interesting that Blizz Launcher had a real messed up resolution and you couldn't see all the buttons. The fix was to go into desktop mode, load it, make it full screen there, then go back to gaming mode. Seems a good thing to keep in mind if something is wonky in game mode.

The fix was to go into desktop mode, load it, make it full screen there, then go back to gaming mode. a related minor technical note is that if your mouse won't move to the bottom/right 30% of the screen, it's because the app attempted to open at a resolution higher than the deck's. so err on the side of lower resolutions in launchers when compromising if something acts weird with the monitor's odd ratio etc. if you have to bump it from lower to higher it will work fine. (In the case of slay the spire, which is better than vampire survivors and metal gear solid, the fix is to delete a file called displayconfig.info.) Kheldarn posted:

Serephina posted:That old nugget of "If proton doesn't launch, it's a permissions issue" has another anecdotal support, if anyone else runs into it. In my job as an extremely mediocre programmer, I find that confusing problems are often due to one of two things: - Permissions issues - Paths not being set (or correctly set) After many years I finally have a decent enough grasp of this stuff that I usually quickly identify the source of problems like this. I imagine this is less of an issue for actual good programmers, but even after all this time this stuff never became entirely intuitive to me and is frequently a huge pain in the rear end. I'm envious of people who actually enjoy this stuff.

Following on from Elden Ring proving the same for me last year about open world games. I couldn't even give you a critique of Hades or Elden Ring. I totally get why they're celebrated and I don't really dislike anything about them, other than that they're structured along a framework I'm absolutely sick of and never want to play ever again.

The thing is, I actually really enjoy roguelikes, but I couldn't get into Hades at all. Now, if you also don't like games like Dead Cells or Skul the Hero Slayer (or more traditional roguelikes ala Nethack or TOEM, etc., etc.), then yeah the genre probably isn't for you. Hades just isn't a very good barometer.

Suddenly can’t sign in to my SteamDeck. It starts up at the Sign in page. Once I add my account and password it asks me to approve it on my phone, then it just goes back to the Sign in screen. Been 15 minutes of this and I’m ready to give up.

For me, the things that were good about Hades were the parts that aren't really tied to it being a roguelike. The art, music, writing, and so on. The actual mechanics, the part where Hades actually is a roguelike, felt serviceable at best, which is why it struggled to hook me so much, and why I only really played through it enough to roll credits, maybe a few extra wins past that.

I don't enjoy top-down action games, so I wound up playing through (and loving) Bastion + Hades for everything else. They're just incredibly well-made experiences with amazing art. Transistor is actually my favorite Supergiant project because it has all the good stuff and can be played more like a turn-based game.

On the topic of electromagnetic joysticks last page, is that a worth while upgrade? I'm not new to electronic device repair and soldering but I am lazy and wonder if it is worth the trouble? The first results on Google led me to https://www.gulikit.com/ which mention that the Deck uses one of two versions of the sticks and they don't make the newer model replacement yet. I haven't boot my new Deck up yet to see which version it has but this might be a moot point until they come out with the new version replacement. The soldering pad there for the capacitive tip is a very generous size and would be quite easy for anyone to solder that wire to.

Now, if you also don't like games like Dead Cells or Skul the Hero Slayer (or more traditional roguelikes ala Nethack or TOEM, etc., etc.), then yeah the genre probably isn't for you. Hades just isn't a very good barometer. Dead Cells is actually towards the top end of my appreciation for roguelikes. By which I mean I played it for roughly 6 hours, thought "I guess this is OK..?" then never played or thought about it again. It's a popular genre that has a lot of talented folks working within it, so it's a genre I keep butting my head against - particularly when something as well liked (and as you say, otherwise so well built) as Hades comes along, from a team as obviously talented as Supergiant. I actually find it quite liberating to get these occasional reminders that it's OK to stay in your lane from time to time. To get something as accomplished as Hades and to be able to hold your hands up and say "nah, I'm good". As I say, Elden Ring was a similarly liberating experience for me. I've spent years feeling done with open world games but continuing to play all the big ones and not get why I wasn't into them. If Miyazaki can't get me to like an open world game in 2023, then I'm OK with sitting the genre aside for good. I'd rather play Sekiro than Elden Ring and that's a game that's actively hostile to Souls players like me and how I interact with those games.

I pushed myself to finish Elden Ring and all it did was confirm that yes, I really don’t enjoy Soulsbournes at all, and now I never have to buy another one to check if this time will be the time it clicks and it’ll be the best game I ever played like people keep insisting will happen.

I actually have a lot of issues with Elden Ring too, and most of them center specifically around the part where it's an open world game.

Shadow Complex Remastered is amazing and plays so well years later. I remember when I bought it using Xbox Live Arcade points that you had to buy in blocks to use on their store. Wanted to buy it as soon as I got my Deck but it wasn't showing as available. Bought a Steam key from Kinguin I think, and was pleased that it ran so well.

Don't worry about not digging Elden Ring. There are dozens of us! I really, really wanted to love it as I was extremely into DS1-3 + Sekiro but I just hated nearly all of dungeons and disliked the majority of the boss fights as well as the sheer size of it all. I can imagine people who had never played a souls game going bananas for this but after the nearly perfectly tuned Sekiro, I just found ER merely good, not great.

Especially divine confetti While I agree that the ninja tools using a consumable resource sucked rear end, I felt that everything else was really tight in Sekiro. I ultimately didn't enjoy the systems, but they were undeniably really well designed (again, aside from the consumable resource).

Wow you all weren’t kidding about Dredge. What an excellent game! I thought the fishing minigame would get old but then I went to Gale Cliffs and they're all different and that's great. My Deckmate “universal mount bundle” arrived! I gambled on the sticky part being low-profile enough to attach to this arm I want to use. This may be a green cube thing, OP, since it kind of pertains to accessibility.I have a couple of spinal injuries that cause me issues. The last few months my neck has been pretty unmanageable. So I have this tablet floor stand from Amazon. This lets me do my job (teaching remotely) and recreation (watching Star Trek with my partner) while laying flat on my back without moving my neck. I love it.  I also bought the SD because sitting upright to play games is not tenable and in my loving around with map games with various remote play options,* I've decided that it's not quite good enough yet, let alone if I'm at my parents' or something. I love reclining with the SD on a pillow on my chest, which is also how my partner plays games in bed with it. However, on bad days this doesn't cut it and I need to just lay flat. So why not just hook the SD up to the floor stand? Enter the Deckmate mounts:   Perfect, except I still need this to work with my ipad.  drat. It's like, maybe 1-2mm too thick. I thought about putting the other side of the mount on a magnetic ipad case but my partner doesn't trust it (and it would be just our luck for an ipad to fall on my face, chip a tooth and then I get covid at the loving dentist) so I bought another arm. So now there'll be an SD arm and iPad arm. The arms just drop into the floor stand so it's easy to switch them out, and the 1/2" piece on the bottom is standard so it also works with all sorts of desk clamps, like this. *These streaming options all seem to be optimized for shooty and slashy games. Witcher 3 is fantastic in Steam Remote Play and Parsec but map games like CK3 or Humankind have all kinds of gross artifacts and issues with resolution changes and so on. The best for map games seems to be the productivity-focused clients like Jump Desktop, Microsoft RDP, TeamViewer, etc but they still struggle. The deck with a little KB and mouse or just the trackpads works great, comparatively. Anyway this process has involved a lot of fruitless searching (the Deckmate rec was key, so thanks!) but I think this solution will work and I'll update when the new arm comes and I hope this helps anyone else with back problems or even just people flirting with the edges of comfortable gaming.
