Vic posted:What's the difference? The first major difference is that each character has a unique weapon, 3 unique passives that are leveled over a run, and a unique ultimate. These passives can enable very different builds, so trying a different character can have you make very different decisions about what items you take. The other major difference is that Holocure probably has the strongest defensive items of any game in the Survivors-like genre. The lifesteal, armor, and deferred damage items are all incredibly good. I haven't played VS in a while, but from when I did play, I got the impression that those sorts of items were generally not viable. This enables a lot of different builds. The third major difference isn't unique to Holocure, but I appreciate a lot - runs are only 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes.

I love me Steam Deck but by gently caress it hurts my hands. Must be getting old or something. Anyone got any exercises to prevent or mitigate the cramp/numb hand thing that happens?

Ignis posted:The Storage Cleaner plugin on Decky Loader should list what's taking up that space and let you clear it as well. It's likely leftover shader cache from all the stuff you've installed before. Thanks, I too was wondering. I have like porton experimental 1.15 gb, proton 8.0. 1.15 gb, proton 7. 1gb steam linux runtime sniper 600 mb steam linux runtime- solider 600 mb And was trying to find where the shader caches were for the games to see which games shader caches were disproportionately big for the games size. | Do emulated games also have shader caches that go in the internal drive even if the emulated game is on the SD card?

Anyone got any exercises to prevent or mitigate the cramp/numb hand thing that happens? I had the same problem with the Vita until I bought a protective case. I did the same with my Deck and that extra bit makes it much more comfortable. Just search for FYOUNG on Amazon and it’s the case with a kickstand. It won’t fit in the dock though, but it does fit in the original carrying case.

I cannot vouch for this particular product, but I have bought their grips for Switch 3 times now and it makes a world of difference. Anybody give this a shot? Its certainly more expensive then their 3D printed Switch grips. https://www.satisfye.com/collections/stylthgrip

Get better hands that hold the deck properly so it's super comfortable. At least that's what worked for me.

Anyone got any exercises to prevent or mitigate the cramp/numb hand thing that happens? I just play playing on my stomach and let the weight of the device rest on the couch or bed usually. It's so goddamn heavy. I have grips on my switch and 3ds but I feel like the deck is fairly ergonomic out of the box. I don't know that it would help but who knows.

So the refurbished Decks are sold out and I probably can't spare that much anyway, but assuming I could at some point in the future: Is it possible to use two different Steam accounts on the same Deck? Would it have to install two separate copies of the large games (BG3 and Cyberpunk)?

Minotaurus Rex posted:I love me Steam Deck but by gently caress it hurts my hands. Must be getting old or something. Anyone got any exercises to prevent or mitigate the cramp/numb hand thing that happens? For stretches — 1. Arms in front, close and open your hands vigorously, like you’re flicking water off of them. Do this 10 times. 2. Hold your arm out straight in front of you, 90 degrees from your body. Relax your wrist, palm down, and press on on the back of it with your other hand, toward you. You should feel it on the back your hand just in front of the wrist. Hold for 10 seconds. 3. Same position as #2, but curl your fingers on the relaxed hand into a sort of loose claw. Press with your other hand between the knuckle and first joint of the fingers. You should feel this on the middle-to-top of the hand. Hold for 10 seconds. 4. Arm out straight, palm up, relax the wrist. With your other hand, press the fingers toward you. You’ll feel this on the heel of the hand. Hold for 10 seconds. 5. Arm out at your side, palm facing away, bend your hand back toward you. Turn your head opposite and crane your neck to that side as well as you can. Hold for 10 seconds. You’ll feel the stretch in your shoulder and upper arm. That’s your ulnar nerve, which runs through your wrist to your fingers. Stretching it should help with the pain some. If you absolutely must play the Deck handheld, use a pillow or something that will take some of the weight. Use wrist braces — anything to maintain neutral wrist position — and use ice and heat on your hands and wrists. But… that probably won’t stop or reverse the progression of hurt. It might slow it. Don’t take this poo poo lightly. It can hurt more than it is. Your body is telling you something. Ignore it at your peril. Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Aug 18, 2023 |

kneelbeforezog posted:Does this mean you can navigate menus and options and inventory with controller input and not the trackpad? I hate playing games where you have to use the trackpad as a mouse, its why I cant play BG1/BG2 on the steamdeck OK, so no it doesn't work out of the box, I take that back. I fired it up to check since it's been a few weeks. I also found this video which pretty much walks you through all of the things I would have written up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYpo8CdL6jc His config is available in the Community Layouts and it seems pretty reasonable. I think if you're looking to avoid the mouse you're out of luck, sadly.

Basic Chunnel posted:Ideally? Dock it or prop it on a stand with a lighter Bluetooth controller. If you want something approaching the control scheme and aren’t lucky enough to have a Steam Controller, an Xbox Elite 2 controller has 4 paddle buttons (you’ll probably need to get the paddles extra, but they’re not the expensive bit). Thanks for this! And also thanks to the other goons and their suggestions. Yeah, might invest in a dock and those case things to see if those help.

I’ve found that using a small throw pillow or cushion in the lap to prop my arms on helps a bit if I’m playing for more than an hour or so.

Aeterna Noctis' intro FMVs are all hosed up and show literal color bars like I'm watching antenna TV in the 1980s. And yet this dude it works fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-ufo_B0tIs  Anyone know which version of Proton to use? Experimental doesn't work.

History Comes Inside! posted:How are your neck and back not ruined by doing that for any kind of extended period Laying on my stomach is good for my low back actually. I've had disc issues since I hosed it up in college and it pushes the disc(s) back near where they should be. It's like baby Cobra (yoga pose). My neck gets tired (but not sore) so I'll prop it up with a pillow. Sitting up and staring down at the deck hurts it though. Playing on my back also bothers my neck and my hands eventually go numb. Everybody is different, this works for me.

I also have back issues (and now medical bills, so nevermind on the second Steam Deck thoughts) but for me it's lying on my back that's most comfortable. Fortunately the Deck is wide enough that I can rest my elbows at 90 degrees vertical and the Deck will mostly support itself on my skeleton instead of my muscles. Which is good, because I also have hand issues.
