I realize this is yelling into the void but god drat windows is annoying on a handheld. I started playing StarDew Valley again and is annoying AF that on the windows device I have to make sure to get to the end of the day and save then quit the game before "sleeping" the device. On the deck I can just sleep the fuckin thing and pick up where I left off. I really like My Ally for a lot of reasons but windows is just the worst.

DBZ: Kakarot was in my “Sure, why not” sale price range, and I needed something light for the deck while getting my kids to sleep since I play beefy games (Cyberpunk and BG3) at my desk. What a chill game. Has the occasional tough fight, but I mainly cruise around picking produce, sniping dinosaurs, fishing, and helping the locals. Plays perfectly on the deck even though it isn’t verified. Gets around 3 hours of battery life, though you could definitely squeeze out more.

Still can't get Titanfall 2 to get passed the EA launcher. The launcher itself tries to access my account and then just goes to a blank screen. Anyone know whats up?

Golf with your friends is not remotely what I was looking for. rafikki posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/2397120/subpar_pool/ This looks great. On Android, too. Still not the same type of game as Hotshots but I'll be picking this up malnourish fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Oct 16, 2023 |

I already have 30 hours in the Balatro demo lol. It’s so good. Perfect on Deck, it’ll run with all the power settings set really low.

I’ve only had the Deck offline for a day or two at a time so far and it’s been fine, but I know some people have problems when not having an internet connection for extended periods. I’m going on a trip soon for a couple of weeks, any weird authentication errors I should expect to come across or am I all good to

I just reboot while on wifi the day before a trip and it's been fine.

If I put the system to sleep with a game running, does playtime still accrue? That happened to me with my Switch - I have like 300 hours on my Digimon Cyber Sleuth save, because I didn't close the game before putting it to sleep and leaving the console in the dock for a while. All my Digimon in the daycare ended up at max level and totally hosed the game balance.

Annath posted:If I put the system to sleep with a game running, does playtime still accrue? I don't think so, but some games have wonky ways of working with sleep. The only game I saw do that on the Switch was Atelier Lydie and Suelle which thinks I have 300 hours in my playthrough because before a few patches it did the same thing.

Tiny Timbs posted:Why though I use the Ally because it can hit much higher frame rates at 720p/1080p and I don't have to tinker with poo poo to get games running anywhere near as much, and also it lets me play certain games natively. If you're asking why Windows loving sucks for this form factor it's because they desperately need a gaming mode GUI like SteamOS because the desktop mode sucks. Thankfully Steam Big Picture Mode exists, but that doesn't fix the suspend issue. I maintain that the biggest appeal of the Deck is SteamOS, it's really mind-blowing how important a good GUI is.

On SteamOS it's also Gamescope, a Wayland compositor that provides window management geared towards console-like app switching with gamepad input. The problem with Windows is that underneath any shell or overlay lies the ol' Windows Icons Menus Pointer.

Kind of disappointed I haven't seen newer games well optimized for the steam decks computer guts. When it was brand new I understood it would take a while for existing games to adapt to it. But there's so many games we'll suited for it beyond just emulation but they are poorly optimized it seems.

Is there any way to independently set the gamma of the external display when you’re plugged into a dock? I don’t have the best TV but it is calibrated within an inch of its life, and the deck’s gamma is appreciably darker than anything else plugged into it to the point where it looks a little weird.
