It’s mostly the ‘only time you’d care about discover updates are if you’d already gone to desktop and installed stuff’ scenario. You can also just add the discover store as a non-Steam title if you want to update that stuff without launching desktop every time. Think there’s a Decky plugin that’ll do it too.

I took the drive out of my old deck and it’s half-disassembled, so of course as soon as I’d finished that I got an update from FedEx saying that the OLED would arrive tomorrow instead can’t even drown my tears with Genshin Impact in the bath!

Dredge is also quick completion, but you can then spend more time 100%ing if you dig the vibe and artstyle, if that sways you. It's a fantastic deck game.

The flying takes some getting used to but is super low barrier to entry. OW is one of the best games, ever. DO NOT GOOGLE ANYTHING. You are only ruining it for yourself. I wish I could play again with fresh eyes. Magnificent experience.

My steam deck keeps refusing to go to sleep, it would wake up seconds later. After trying a few things I think I figured out the problem. The sd card has some kind of problem and it was detecting a hardware change and turning back on. I took out the sd card and then it behaved normally. Of course now I have a lot less storage

Anyone have some recommended settings for Yuzu for Fire Emblem Engage in particular or for Switch emulation in general? All the options under graphics are too fiddly for me to really understand and all the posts about it on Reddit and whatnot are from like January and February. The game seems to stutter when transitioning from the battle map to the individual encounters which makes me wonder if it might be a CPU or memory issue more than a GPU issue? But I'm not really an expert on how these things work. (I own a Switch and a copy of Fire Emblem Engage collector's edition--I would just love the convenience of not having to bring two handhelds with me when I travel next month).

What file types does Cemu want for Wii U? My library consists of a ton of smaller xxxx.part compressed folders and I’m wondering if I need to combine them somehow or just find something else in a different format.

You can probably check this in the performance overlay but yeah the Deck's CPU will almost always be a bottleneck for Switch emulation as it's a CPU-heavy task.

People seemed disappointed in Dredge because it didn't turn out to be something like a Lovecraftian fishing sim that you can just play forever but I loved it and think it's great if you engage it on its own terms, which is as a relatively short game that you can finish long before burning out on its simple rear end mechanics.

Outer Wilds is genuinely one of the greatest games ever made by any group ever. I know not every game is for everyone, but this is a game I wish would avoid that and I wish it could be experienced in a way that elicits the same emotions and joy and sense of wonder that I experienced because not a day goes by since I finished it last year that I do not have a small memory of something to do with it. It is a genuine masterpiece and if you do play it, and it properly captures you then do not let go. Ride the whole thing out

If you're on Windows and reasonably familiar with the command line you can use CDecrypt to do the job.

RE: magnetic usb-c adapters Definitely do not use them, for all the reasons listed in that reddit thread or from pretty much any reliable source, ESPECIALLY if you live in a dry climate prone to static buildup. If it's any consolation, the port IS replaceable if it gets hosed up, but it's a more delicate repair, so you'd probably be sending it to a shop. Still better than buying a whole new deck, though.

I finally got around to setting up my dock and pairing a Xbox controller for TV use, and was pleasantly surprised to find that when I turn on the Xbox controller now, the Deck wakes up too. (It does not automatically turn on my TV like my AppleTV or Switch do, however, so I can't quite be up and running with just one button press. At least I don't have to get off the couch as long as I keep the TV remote nearby.)

Valve greenlit my RMA request for the busted LB on my LCD Deck even though I was out of warranty, on the same day the OLED arrives.  If I can catch the UPS guy, I can just hand him the outbound package. One in one out.

I'd like to give using the Steam Deck on the TV a go, but I won't do it without a controller that has four rear paddles/buttons in a similar physical configuration as the Steam Deck itself or an Xbox Elite controller. Having only two rear paddles/buttons, or having four but arranged in a different layout isn't good enough. Which gamepad can I use instead? (the Elite v2 has compatibility issues that disqualify it) edit: also if anyone is playing on their TV using the deck and just a really long cord, that's not the worst thing in the world i guess Snackmar fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Nov 28, 2023 |

I like using my dualsense edge with the Deck, but unfortunately that also only has two back buttons. I think the 8bitdo ultimate only has two back buttons too, you might just have to deal with not having four.

That's the only thing I can think of outside of some random weird power draw happening in the surge protector it was plugged into??? it was directly from a wall socket to my original LED Deck. I didn't do any analysis, I just said "oh, okay" and got a higher wattage charger

I think the 8bitdo ultimate only has two back buttons too, you might just have to deal with not having four. The 8bitdo one can only map back paddles to mirror another standard button on the controller, you can’t assign them as a unique input, so don’t rely on that one for actual back button support.

Yeah it works perfectly fine if you just want to have a few profiles that move buttons to the paddles. But if you want to actually have access to those 4 buttons within Steam and do some of the more complex button mapping things the 8bitdo won't do that. Anyone more knowledgable about how inputs actually work know if this is something 8bitdo could theoretically update in the future?

I use the Scuf Envision Pro — the native software is some of the worst I’ve ever seen outside of Enterprise software. At least, programming the inputs directly on the controller is easy enough following the user guide. It has four paddles and they’re similar to the deck in that they don’t “stick out” the way that say the paddles do on Dualsense Edge. I hated it at first but then weirdly got used to it.
