tuyop posted:If it gives you the “slow charger” warning, that means that it doesn’t provide the right voltage so the SD uses a lower voltage option, which charges it more slowly. The maximum power draw from the deck should generally be low enough that you don't need the 45W from the official charger to keep it topped up. Anecdotally, I have one of those little Switch mini docks that I bring when we're traveling and I use that as a dock for the Switch and SD. It only outputs I think 36W or something anemic like that, and that's enough to keep the SD fully charged under any load, even though it'll pop up the slow charging warning. I haven't done extensive testing or anything so grain of salt, etc. but my experience is that you definitely don't need a full 45W if you're just keeping it topped up and not concerned about relatively quick charging.

I use a 65w charger and a 10 foot USB C cable when playing. It’s overkill for lower spec games, but it’s perfect for demanding stuff. I got tired of plugging/unplugging it whenever I went to a friend’s place soI recently bought this cute little 67w charger from Shargeek to keep in my bag. It looks like a retro Macintosh and the screen displays the wattage of the thing it’s charging.

I'm only playing Diablo 4 currently. I don't really play more than one game at a time otherwise I'll never finish anything.

The Steam Deck can actually only take a maximum of 45W, although in my experience it will almost never draw more than 40W. A beefier charger is definitely still the way to go for general use cases, was just mentioning that weaker chargers are okay for certain cases like running off a battery pack or using a dual-purpose dock that won't brick a Switch.

Yeah, as I said, it’s overkill. But it comes in handy. I can use it to charge my MacBook too. Anyway, Steam Deck has inspired me to build a gaming PC. I’m gonna order parts slowly over time. I just ordered the motherboard and SSD. Congrats Gabe, your gambit worked.

Be careful about this: if you don't have a way to test them when they arrive, they might be out of the exchange period when you find out that something is wrong with them, and then you have to fight the RMA beast. Generally it is recommended that you just save up and buy them all at once.

I'm still playing Midnight Suns (usually about an hour before bed each night) but have a queue forming for my next games: - griftlands - disco Elysium - subnautica (revisit) On my wish list : - Street Fighter 6 - Miles Morales Really with SF my biggest choice is do I get it on Steam or Xbox.

Be sure to put a recovery image on a known-to-work USB drive, or a SD card (including using the Steam Deck itself to turn an SD card into a recovery disk. I did not do this and lost money and time hunting down a working drive. Highly recommend getting a USB-C enclosure for your old SSD in case you need to do any post-installation transfers. I did this to make sure I could transfer saves and ROMs and modded games wholecloth onto the new SSD. Consider not finishing up sealing your Steam Deck after the surgery until you can boot reliably. Consider not cloning your old Steam Deck drive, and just starting fresh.

The only thing I play on my PC that I could play on the Deck at this point is warhammer 3, because turn times aren't great on the Deck and the Linux version doesn't work well with mods. Note: TW:WH3 is not bad on the deck. It's just better on the PC.

When I upgraded my deck's storage I just used a USB c hd enclosure to copy the old drive to the new one in desktop mode with 1 command. Then I swapped in the new and booted up and everything was the same and my new space was available. That was a month or two ago and no problems so far. Messing around with recovery drives to fresh install seems like a bother

I did not do this and lost money and time hunting down a working drive. Yeah I’ve got an enclosure and dd-imaged everything over. I’ll expand the filesystems and such before I swap them, and if anything is hinky I’ll just re-image from one of my USB-C flash drives. Will definitely test before I put the back plate on (I’m swapping the back plate plus LR45 and L1 as well, on this little journey).

One thing that asus does that I think the deck should adopt is that you can do a full image restore from the bios. You just connect to your wifi and it sets everything back up fresh. That is pretty cool.

Still my go to for m&k gaming (doom eternal, red alert 3, etc.), But it's basically been relegated to a deck streaming delivery system for better game performance and crazy deck battery life improvement.

faantastic posted:Whats the best charger I can buy to charge this + another device at the same time? Trying to keep my desk somewhat wirefree but don't want to buy one on Amazon that promises it'll charge it fine and then brick it somehow. You could use a dock (or dongle with power passthrough) and a normal cable. For example this thing I used until it got too hot to handle. Plug Deck's charger into that, then plug that into the device you want to charge, using a second or third USB cable for the rest.

MarcusSA posted:Trip report on Nova lands please. It's on my short list. 90 Minutes in. Deserves the green tick for sure, runs flawlessly (though I only have 8~ bots running around so far) Seems like a smaller Forager (only 16 islands I think and skills in the 30s) which is kind of great, you also get access to automation very quickly which is also great. You have limited bot slots per island so trying to decide what to automate it a fun little problem. I will say I am not entirely sure how much game there is here. It's definitely a lot smaller than Forager currently but that might actually be a good thing. The game I've played so far is a lot of fun and tickles my "have little robots doing chores for me" nerve very nicely.

Even wandering around the cool Morrowind stuff I feel listless playing. This thread, a full LP of everything Daggerfall-related (betas, demos, original DOS version and then Unity version), is pretty good so far. Might be up your alley.
