The charger, which I desperately wish had folding prongs.

And good lord you do not need 2tb of SSD on this thing, 1tb and a 512gb SD card has been more than twice what I've ever needed which at one point that included Red Dead Redemption 2 and Elden Ring and since nobody could possibly play games differently than me I'm going to say that's 100% correct

I don't even think folding prongs are allowed in the EU. Never seen it on anything ever where I live at least.

They can’t have folding prongs because their power adapters are all the size of British footballs.

The good thing about Steam Deck is that it mostly just works. Now I have to learn about integer scaling and SUPER RESOLUTION

Modern 3-prong Apple ones have them, but it’s an involved thing that I doubt many companies are willing to spend money on.

My 2TB deck SSD is only like 50gb short of being filled.

I got a 1tb drive installed and I'm about 150gb away from being full, but I also have a bunch of bullshit I will probably never play on there that I could remove if I wanted to.

That being said, one of the reasons I deleted Atomic Heart was that with DLC, it clocks in at about 90gb (the other being that it devours battery), and I have been thinking about getting a cheap M2 - USB adapter and cloning my drive to a new 2tb one.

Are there any recommended discord clients for the deck? I looked on the discover store thing and all of them seem to suck judging by reviews. Would be neat to have discord on this thing.

I don't think she likes the special sauce, Rick.


The official client? Comes in a tar though.

Edit: oh, it's actually in Discover, just do that. It works fine.

You can install it and add it as a non steam app, and run it in the background but it's not really a seamless experience to jump between discord and your game.

There's a decky plugin that lets discord see and display what game you're playing, which it otherwise won't do.

Though to be fair decky has been a wreck for me recently, maybe because I'm on the beta client or something, but it keeps breaking so right now I have no plugins installed because I got tired of getting a parade of error messages for every single plugin

Oh it is? I saw multiple ones and seemed like neither were official.

I havent checked out anything like decky yet. Plan was to keep it stock while I get acquainted. But I can check that out later on.

Decky is awesome when it works but I found it too unreliable. Some really great plugins on there, I'm especially fond of the protondb badges

Yes, I know I'm old, get off my fucking lawn so I can yell at these clouds.

I’ve had one decker plugin break in a year and that was the how long to beat plugin, so not exactly vital functionary.

Stay on stabile both in steamOS and decky

Yeah I dunno what you could do with decky to make it unreliable if you’re just on the stable branch

That's fair. I don't really know why I'm on the beta os branch anyway, I think I swapped at one point when the beta branch had a new feature I didn't want to wait for and never bothered to switch it back

How soon we forget. You used to have to reinstall decky after any os update it seemed like. It was very annoying. It hasn't done that in some time though to be fair and seems pretty stable at this point.
