you could take the case off and short the power switch, possibly? I’ve had to do it with desktops before

I’ve been holding myself back from getting a Deck for months now, opting for my frugal Moonlight-To-iPad-with-a-controller setup, but this year I won two fantasy football leagues so I’m deciding to finally blow the winnings on something for myself instead of being practical with it like a sucker. 512GB OLED inbound. How do these things do PC Streaming? Is Moonlight built in or does it default to Steam Remote Play and I’ll have to hack it somehow?

Steam remote play is the built in option. It's easy enough to install moonlight, but give steam streaming a shot. Some people report that it sucks, but it works really well for others (myself included). It's worth at least firing up a game with it to see if it's worth installing moonlight.

And if you decide to use Moonlight, installing it is as easy as installing the Moonlight client in desktop mode and adding it as a non-Steam game.

mattfl posted:So I'm sure this is all old news and everyone does it, but as someone who hasn't been into gaming in years and just recently got the OLED deck, this thing is amazing. Also, I just signed up for at&t fiber and got a 6 month free sub to geforce now. Got it installed on the deck and playing cyberpunk 2077 on my 4k monitor with the equivalent to a 4080 is pretty amazing! Tempted to hook it up to the 65" OLED in the living room for an even better experience lol I play Cyberpunk a lot on my 55" OLED (LG C1) and it's hands-down the most visually impressive thing I've ever seen in gaming. I think you should be able to get 120fps (if your OLED is new enough to support that) + some ray-tracing with the 4080 through geforce now. Streaming it to the Steam Deck is also wild, though I sadly can't do it with HDR yet (hopefully Moonlight gets that worked out at some point)

Got a quick question. I don't have an external keyboard, or usb-c hub at all. Not going to get one just for the deck right now. Well, I don't even have the deck yet (auction ends on Monday to sell my stuff, but once I get confirmation of payment and I ship the stuff out, I'll buy the deck) Can I use Steam Link on my PC connecting to the deck as a makeshift remote desktop for typing in commands? Probably will be a whole lot easier for the long commands rather than the hunt and peck method for an on screen keyboard. Or to move files around. In a similar vein, when I see tutorials for deckyloader or cryoutilities or emudeck, do I need to actually move the scripts to the desktop that end in .desktop, or can they be run just from the download folder?

Well, I don't even have the deck yet (auction ends on Monday to sell my stuff, but once I get confirmation of payment and I ship the stuff out, I'll buy the deck) you can absolutely use steam link to remote control the deck, it works reasonably enough; not perfect because it does depend on steam actually running and some stuff will close steam to use it (eg steamrommanager has to do so). tbh for command line fuckery i enable sshd and ssh in from my pc; this doesn't work for stuff that uses zenity to show GUI dialogs tho the tutorials/install instructions ask you to move the scripts to the desktop because iirc the desktop folder is an allowed location for .desktop files while downloads is not. you can still run them from downloads, but you'll need to change the permissions of the file to allow you to execute it, which you don't have to do from the desktop. same-ish effort either way

Cyrano4747 posted:What’s the tldw on this? Far better than I expected. Many of the games he looks at run ok at 720p@30 even with global illumination enabled. A couple show GI artifacting because 720p is such a small input resolution to those algorithms. (The ever present problem for 800p output resolution since it also affects FSR2's scaling from even smaller resolutions.) Given how early we are in the tech cycle for UE5, I'd expect things to improve a lot as people get more experience with the engine. And hopefully the fixed hardware target of the Deck means we may also see some of the PS3 effect where folks got really good at optimizing for a shittily confusing hardware architecture, just without the shittily confusing target architecture. (I really hope Epic do optimizations/specializations for the Deck's hardware.) But most of all, UE5 is just magic.

I fixed my roommate's Deck and it was an interesting case. He came to me a few days ago with the problem that when the steam button was pressed it acted like a mouse click and the steam menu did not come up. I tested his inputs and they all seemed to work. I told him to try customer service even though he was just out of warranty. While he was doing the CS back and forth he brought it to me and pointed out that in the input test the right trigger always showed a value even at rest. I missed that as I was mainly looking at the steam button input. I verified on my deck that holding the right trigger and pressing the steam button mouse clicked and that the triggers at rest should show 0. Google search suggested that the magnet from the hall effect trigger was the culprit. Once inside I found a screw protruding from the faulty trigger which I thought was stripped at first, but turned out it's not supposed to be there at all! That's when I remembered that roomie had come to me about two months into ownership and said he had dropped it and it now rattled. I figured it was just a piece of plastic and said as long as everything works don't worry about it. I looked for a hole missing it's screw and found none. My assumption is it was in there from the factory stuck under something until the initial drop. It had in a subsequent drop moved it's way to the trigger magnet and was perfectly stuck in a hole over the magnet. He's lucky it didn't short something out.

I couldn't get one at Christmas because I had to get my wisdom teeth removed. Still recovering a bit from that. So, my contingency plan was putting some Pokemon games on eBay. Right now, the bids after eBay's cut will cover the entire cost of the 1TB OLED. I just hope more bids come in while it's the last 2 days of the auction so no I can get the microSD card without using any of my own money. And that nobody who bid is a scammer.

Wtf, EA? 100% agreed. I get the new NHL game every year on Playstation, you'd think if FIFA can do a PC release, the NHL series should as well (yes I know Fifa is waaaaay more popular than NHL, but it'd still be nice). Having said that, there's a few okay-ish hockey games on Steam: Tape to Tape is a hockey rogue-like, but the controls are good, and similar to the NHL Series (though it can get a little gimmicky like pickups in mariokart). It's good, but you have to know it's a roguelike (no seasons - just a partially random choice path each game with a battle/bosses). Looks to be Verified on the Deck (I haven't tried it there yet). Would recommend. Super Blood Hockey has a career mode, player upgrades, with decent humour. It's fun, but it's more like Nintendo Hockey. Plays well on the deck IIRC. Would recommend. Bush Hockey League is close to the NHL type series, but it's pretty old now, and while I enjoyed what I played of it, I'm not sure how well it's aged. Not Deck Compatible.

Bumhead posted:Yours is a more knowledgeable and refined take on it, but I agree. It feels like we’re at the “throwing poo poo at a wall and seeing what sticks” stage. Maybe I'm too cynical, but I think this is a... generous take. The whole idea of handheld PCs isn't really new and Valve wasn't the first one to take a swing, but they were the first company with the means to treat their handheld gaming device as its own platform rather than just a different form factor. You're seeing a ton of other releases because shoving mini PC internals into a handheld form factor is a pretty low effort way to make a few bucks off of the hype. The lack of anything other than a touchscreen for mouse-like input is a dead giveaway that very little thought went into designing a usable product. I'm willing to bet almost none of these companies will bother with near-term future revisions unless Microsoft miraculously decides to make a Gaming OS edition of Windows. Even then, Microsoft's pathological anti-competitive tendencies would probably gently caress the whole thing up badly enough for Steam users to end up poisoning any devices that use it. Failing that, it'll just be another wave after the Steam Deck 2 when companies like ASUS can capitalize on the "look! bigger numbers!" urge to make a few more dollars.

The Slack Lagoon posted:How well would a SteamDeck work for couch coop? If you mean with a tv, there shouldn't be any showstopper. Any dock/hub will allow you to have it powered and displaying through hdmi, and then you have your choice of usb ports on the hub or bluetooth for controllers. The only caveat is that you'll likely use a higher resolution on the tv than on the deck, so performances might be lower if you're aiming for high-end games. Note that TVs generally won't like 40hz as a refresh rate, so if you're hard-set to 40Hz by default, that needs to be changed before you plug in that hdmi cable.
