I miss my Xbox controller.

Ehh. For Xbox all of their games are on Steam anyways, and Switch games can be played on PC through Yuzu. I think i'll be fine here

I GOT ONE
I LOVE IT ALREADY
BEST PURCHASE I MADE IN MY LIFE
I'm playing Sonic Generations on a portable handheld with better framerate and resolution than the original wall tethered Xbox 360 release... 2012 me would be so psyched. I'd know because i currently AM psyched.

Is there any way to fix the low battery error?
I got low battery (10% 5%) warnings even with the battery at 50%... and I even have the framedrops to single digits for like 30 seconds like if the console is about to turn off and then it keeps working again as normal.
I checked the battery info in desktop mode and looks ok... and even made a full discharge and full charge... but no dice

Just transferred my Chrono Trigger DS save file to my Steam Deck. It was surprisingly easy and now i can resume my playthrough on my bigger handheld
Honestly this won't be replacing my 3DS anytime soon as that system's control scheme only really works with its design in mind... but this is very cool nonetheless,

Anyone got any experience with running Windows on dual boot from an SD card?
It doesn’t seem complicated to do but does it work well in terms of boot time, general usability, etc?
My use case is basically putting PC GP on it to play indies like Sea of Stars or Cassette Beasts instead of buying them on Steam.

One of the most useful plugins i've ever had the pleasure of using is HLTB for deck.... basically, it displays the HowLongToBeat game lengths on the game menu. Meaning that it's super easy to just look up a game and then check your hours in comparison to how long before the game is done. Insanely useful for backlogs

I’ll be waiting on Deck 2 and a faster chipset. A new screen wouldn’t do it for me. Although the screen part is just speculation at this point.

Day 1, the decks power is adequate for me, the screen is not.

To no one's surprise the Deck can't handle Starfield. Not feeling particularly hopeful about the CP2077 expansion which will supposedly raise the requirements either.

Worth it for solo play?

Holy moly this game is incredible. Hilarious and the art is phenomenal. Voice acting is really well don. Plays great on Deck. Highly recommended if you enjoy adventure games or funny games.

I was going to pick this up but requiring online at all times is going to be a hard no from me.

I'm actually surprised at how stable it is and how good it looks when shrunk to the Deck's tiny screen.

Playing Links Awakening currently and am very much digging it. With the 60fps patch it runs great, drops to 40fps in dense areas but whatever, that's retro nintendo slowdown bb.

Pretty good Halloween bundle on Humble:

I already own Pathologic and Alan Wake though. Even anyone wants to go halfsies, I'm mainly interested in Stasis: Bone Totem.
Fright of your Life
Just in time for Halloween, get a collection of horror games including STATIS: BONE TOTEM, Bendy, Pathologic 2, and more. Pay what you want & support charity!

It's been great so far really. I've been on the road for 3 weeks now and hitting 50 hrs of playtime, I can see how this can end up with me finally getting a proper gaming PC

Honestly i agree. The APU wasn't much of a problem for me until i realized that 7th gen emulation exists. It would be really nice to play some PS360 games on this thing, the 720p display would make it perfect. The Switch is more powerful yet the 360 is the system that gives us issues.... lol
7840u deck with an 8 inch bezel free screen (or a smaller deck that removes the extra space the bezels took up) would be perfect.

LMFAO there's a mod in the deck CSS loader plugin that adds an "activate Windows" style watermark to the Steam Deck. Downloaded it just because it's funny.

I mostly just use my SteamDeck as a trip device. If I go on vacation or travel, I bring my deck and play mostly indie games. Game's like Obra Dinn, FUGA, Inscryption and the like.

Everything. Everything is my favorite games to play on Steam Deck.
Except for CRPGs. I haven't had much luck with those.
2D and pixel art games (Dave the Diver, Stardew Valley, Roots of Pacha, etc.), simple 3D games (older Tomb Raider titles), point and click adventures, turn-based games or emulating games (PSX and N64 mostly). These kind of games usually give me 3h to 7h of battery life.
I prefer to play only game that are Steam Deck verified because I hate small fonts and UI or game pad tinkering or third party launchers to be opened first.
I never play AAA games that are big on visuals, like Cyberpunk or BG3. I play those on my TV or big 21:9 monitor (with RT if possible) and high graphics settings. All other games where graphic fidelity don't matter (as much), these are candidates for the Deck.
