am I the only one who turns off rumble whenever I can? it's annoying and burns the battery faster (exception is the steam controller's haptic trackpads, those are good)

It's really not that big a deal to use an SD card - https://youtu.be/4AIY5wH77Po there's a bunch of videos but storage read speed is not usually the bottleneck for loading deck games

(safe) longer cables need to be thicker and heavier and thus less portable which kinda sucks when you don't need it

I haven't been able to get the Septimus Skyrim modpack to work, it always crashes a bit after startup. Normal Skyrim works fine tho.

IMO the best feature is cross save cross buy with my entire library - I've lots of games that play well on switch but are also on PC and until now I've been forced to choose between portability with bad graphics at home and good experience on PC but no portability. For that niche I don't know that anything else comes close.

Rinkles posted:Kinda nuts. Is there a particular reason why the Switch is so easy to emulate? I'm sure the patreon money helps, but still. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra posted:In March 2015, Nvidia announced the Tegra X1 The chip inside is just kinda old and when new it wasn't very fast. It also helps that it's pretty "normal" by game console standards when compared to a PC.

120hz is sick for simple games though? what's the downside here other than a tiny additional cost on a device that already costs a hojillion dollars

Paradoxish posted:Dead Cells at 120hz will almost certainly annihilate the battery. It's not about whether you're running AAA titles or not. Part of the issue (and it's a problem for phones too!) is that the games you'll probably want to play at a high refresh rate, stuff like short session 2D games, are the games you're most likely to be playing without power. Maybe it will! you get 6-7hrs right now at 60hz and if that was cut down to 3-4 I'd absolutely do it for most of my usage. If you have a 7 hour flight and don't want to you can crank down the display. Having the option to go hard and get best graphics when plugged into the plane outlet and conserve battery at reduced fps when there isn't one is one of the things that makes these devices so much nicer than a switch.

Macichne Leainig posted:Friendly goon I get your point but you are not getting 3-4 hours of battery life at 120hz on a Windows-based gaming handheld, plain and simple. Yeah windows is a huge downside but if there was a proper steam deck with a 120hz OLED I'd buy it immediately.

TraderStav posted:How is it going? To get you get past the Windows Updates yet and figure out how to navigate without a touchpad? Pretty good so far, the touchscreen works well and the gamepad mouse emulation seems more reliable than the desktop mode gamepad mouse emu on my steam deck, especially around keyboards. Last Epoch runs way better even at low tdp. Sleep is the weirdest part so far, it's not clear to me how long you hold the power button for sleep vs hibernate vs power off, though the soft button in the sidebar seems reliable.

Have there actually been a lot of drifting deck sticks? I preemptively replaced the sticks on mine with gulikit ones but I actually don't like the feel of them as much as the stock ones. I won't be replacing my OLED deck sticks unless they break .

jokes posted:Be careful because you'll soon tell yourself "why would I play a video game at my desk with a KBM when I can play a video game anywhere" then you sell your PC and get frustrated at the low performance of the Deck and buy a different handheld like the Ally, which can run things better than the Deck. Then you stop using the Deck and your PC, and decide to sell both of them to buy an eGPU for your Ally so you can have a dedicated video game machine that's a handheld but also a high-powered gaming PC when you dock it. did they fix the ally's egpu support? it was so flaky in August that I returned mine.

My wife and I are having a fine time on her LCD and my OLED, but someone in the Steam thread says their experience sucks, with multi-minute loading issues. Trying to figure out what’s up—Valve says “unsupported” by our experience has been Playable at the least. I've been playing through most of sandeock and it's totally fine with a 40fps cap.

Subjunctive posted:I haven’t seen any updates on Moonlight or Sunshine HDR. Sunshine HDR already works for non deck clients, but moonlight deck HDR is still being worked on: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/1117 I recommend an EDID emulator dongle and display port adapter - I tried the virtual thing for a while but it's a lot less robust than hardware. Many of them (including the one I have https://a.co/d/cYg2MN2) can be flashed with an arbitrary EDID. Fun fact: you can't get a dummy plug to negotiate HDMI 2.1 afaik, but you can if you connect it to a display port to HDMI 2.1 adapter. Normally they're a bit jank but for pretending to be a display they work great.
