Can't wait to one day get my Steam deck so I can see if it's worth buying for my uses!

I think the problem has always been the internet connectivity of both your source computer and the steam link provider. Specifically, the best way to do it was connect it directly via an Ethernet port which for most people is the same as simply plugging in an HDMI. It’s good in a pinch and for casual gaming though! And the steam deck will further improve/iterate on that (probably). I used to have zero problem doing dungeons and stuff in FF14 via steamlink over a 100MB Wi-Fi connection

If the Steam Deck uses a USB-C for output I bet a Skull & Co. Dock would work.

I am very excited to buy and use my cute little emulation machine that can also run some other video games while I’m on an airplane. I’d like to buy a dock for my 4K TV with a USB out, though, so I can use it on my TV. Are there any solid options out there? Also, how does everyone do cloud saving for emulators? Just map a folder in OneDrive?

Firebert posted:It says it’s not supported but I’ll download it and give it a whirl, it’s been able to handle most random unsupported stuff I’ve tested so far FFXI is extremely weird because you’re not allowed to minimize natively so you might need to download Windower. The reason I ask is because, unlike other games, FFXI kind of kicks your computer down and I don’t know how well that plays with SteamOS

I simply cannot fathom wanting to play graphically intensive games on the Deck and yet I am always surprised and intrigued when I see it work.

Everyone with the deck for emulation: does it ever get hot/loud/low battery? Especially in fast forward mode or whatever? I ask because my old Mac used to get hot if I ran pokemon at 4x speed

I was concerned that it wouldn’t be optimized for emulators and it would cause the fans to get loud or tax the processor too much. I don’t imagine valve is doing a lot of work on behalf of emulators, so I assume that falls on the emulator community which I don’t think has much resources. The capability of the hardware is hard to peg in relation to hardware elsewhere, like is it similar to an 8700 and a 1060 or something? People say “it can run elden ring I’m sure it can run an emulator fine” but you’d be surprised. Also, being extremely optimized for a blockbuster AAA game doesn’t really translate to being able to play GameCube games at upscale resolutions at turbo speed or whatever.

I am supposed to get mine around the same time I’m going through a move across country so I’m a little cared it’ll show up right as I leave. I’ll probably email their support and let them know, maybe send it to my family or something and pick it up some time.

What? They won’t make a steam deck 2? Based on what? They have pre-orders still outstanding to the end of the year. Reviews are extremely positive, Gaben said he was surprised people were willing to spend more money on a more premium version/product, and they are still doing really great and encouraging updates. They partnered with ifixit for repairs and replacement parts where, of course, all the parts are sold out. In every situation demand for their product has exceedingly outstripped supply, for a year plus. Their Steam Link and Steam Controller were sold and supported for about a thousand years beyond their useful life. And to top it all off, with more juice and support these stupid things could straight up replace most gaming pcs and gaming laptops. In what universe does that translate to “nope, they’re done”. Steam OS doesn’t seem like a real moneymaker compared to the Deck, which is lightning in a bottle that the internet has been clamoring for for years after the switch came out. jokes fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Jun 10, 2022 |

I feel like it’s an easier sell to have people rely on the Steam devices than on Steam OS because there are reasons to have computers that aren’t video games, and Steam OS doesn’t double as “video games OS” and “porn/work OS” like Windows.
