Love my deck and I love the ally for different reasons but the things that the deck can do at ultra low power are legit nothing short of amazing.

They really managed to knock it out of the park at low W and it’s technically impressive.

So I ended up grabbing the Ninja Saviors and Pocky and Rocky combo pack.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I haven't even tried Pocky & Rocky yet, but Ninja Saviors still rocks.

I'm also playing a bunch of Judgment. I'm about 10 hours in and still warming up to Takumi. In contrast, I really liked Ichiban from the start of LAD. The drone racing might have something to do with it. I'm still really happy that all the Yakuza games work great on Deck!

Are you playing it on the steam deck? I loved ghostrunner but I’m not sure if I’d play it on a controller, even with gyro. A small screen would make it harder too since if I remember correctly some enemies and targets are pretty far away from you so they may be hard to see on the deck’s screen.

Slowly making my way through Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo, a horror/mystery visual novel with amazing production values which is probably gonna end up my GOTY at this rate.

Other than that, the Deck is an awesome Picross machine with Switch emulation.

I think I’m on to something close.

I set the left track pad to a radial menu with my inputs (I just tested with four d-pad directions for a game but this could be 8 keypad inputs for a rogue like or whatever inputs you need).

Then for each button’s setting, I changed “regular press” to “button chord” and under “settings” within each button set the chord button to R4.

Now in the game, the menu will appear whenever I touch the track pad but clicking it does nothing unless I’m already holding R4 before clicking.

Not quite what you were looking for but it’s at least probably going to stop accidental presses.

Edit: okay somehow I completely misread the post you were responding to that basically just did this exact same solution but with touch release instead of click. I’m an idiot.

it's okay it was worth a shot :negative:


another thing i've tried now (courtesy of a smart friend) was to set the radial menu to instead change action layers and then each action layer has a different input for the same button - switch to the "up" layer and now the button moves up, switch to the "left" layer and now the button moves left

it works perfectly.......... except the steam input crashes if you switch between the layers too fast :shepface: so in the end it doesn't work at all. this is maddeningly frustrating because i'm so close and yet nothing works.

I can hardly contain myself!
I talked an older D&D buddy into buying a deck mainly so he could play Baldurs Gate 3 with us. Someone said in the BG3 thread Larian intends to work on deck optimization sometime after launch. ProtonDB seems a bit mixed on playability in the EA. Can anyone who's played it on deck share their experience? Any reason to believe the experience will change when the full game is released?

Edit: literally minutes after I posted

I had a very nice radial menu setup (the menus that pop up when you touch the trackpads, allowing you to assign each direction to different keyboard buttons) for Elite Dangerous that just straight up wont work any longer. If you've ever played E:D you know that it requires like 80 buttons to be mapped, and the radial menus are the only thing that will really make that game playable on Deck.

They're still configured correctly, and they actually perform their functions (i.e. when I select a direction on the touchpad it does the thing its supposed to do), but the pop up menus are just gone now.

Any ideas? I've already rebooted

So the issue with this is that steam overlay is disabled. I now have a new problem that steam overlay is disabled on every single game and cannot be turned on, the option is just greyed out.

Is there anything decky can do to break steam overlay or something like that? Or is there anything else to check?

I’d rather not factory reset if I can help it.

I'm not playing much because I need games that I can mute and or have little story. Usually a great machine for putting kids to bed who won't let you leave until they fall asleep. Otherwise I have a hard time getting into long games but can spend stupid hours playing roguelikes that are easier to pick up and put down.

Finished Dave the Diver, highly recommend. It’s a fun exploration / restaurant management / minigame-a-palooza that’s very fun and chill.

Started The Last Spell, which is a roguelite hero based tactical rpg turn based strategy thing. You are defending a circle of mages from hordes of enemies as they attempt to banish magic from the world in fire emblem style combat. So far it’s VERY compelling.

Both run very well on the deck.

I'm trying to finish up Octopath Traveller 2 before BG3 releases. Game is awesome; I love the multiple stories because none of them are super deep or anything but just getting to do them all at once makes it much more compelling even if they don't overlap much. Apparently there is a big ending chapter where it all comes together so looking forward to that, I'm on everyone's Level 45 chapter now which I think will be the last chapter for each story?

I'm kinda looking forward to doing that once the expansion drops.

Though I'm also hoping it goes on decent discount (didn't know about it during the summer sale) because my previous installation was from GoG. Which I kinda don't wanna manually redownload/install on the Deck.

Might also need a bigger SD card.

The last spell is a tremendously good game, and anyone that likes either tower defense or turn based combat should give it a look. There’s tremendous breadth into how you can equip and spec your heroes, and there’s really no wrong answer. The progressive building of defenses and upgrading your town to equip against each maps final boss scratches all kinds of itches. Plus, the game is officially release, and you’re not dealing with some janky EA release.

Seriously, give The Last Spell a try.

Stopped by BestBuy to try out the ROG Ally. It’s very impressive, but extremely uncomfortable to hold. The trigger placement isn’t natural and the case is all angles. If I want a case, that pushes the price well over a thousand dollars up here in Canada.

Strong agree. It is a literal masterpiece. Even the DLC is phenomenal (it’s practically a stealth sequel to the main game).

Well if you haven't checked out Obra Dinn yet, go for that for sure. Everyone's saying Outer Wilds but it's really nothing like that from what I played, didn't get into it. Not a fan of controlling space ships while detectiving, never really understood all the love.

It's significantly easier with a controller, to the point that the devs strongly recommend using one.

Its biggest advantage is that the sticks and triggers allow precise control, rather than the "on or off" that keys allow.

why is the default sensitivy so wacky anyway?

i thought i had trouble controlling things with the stick until i went into the settings and saw that it's at like 275% sensitivity by default. turned it down to 100% and it works fine. similarly had to reduce the trackpad sensitivty by a ton and also turn off the ball mode
