steamdeck

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. With the repairability of the steam deck and the power available to it, it seems like a no brainer to use it for a bit of school work or casual browsing, Discord etc. Like you would a normal desktop....

The documentation for Gamescope has now been updated to note it supports a “subset of Reshade effects/shaders” and so this provides an easy way to layer “shader effects (ie. CRT shader, film grain, debugging HDR with histograms, etc) on top of whatever is being displayed in Gamescope without having to hook into the...

Doesn’t have any new info for any existing deck owners, but it’s always nice to see positive coverage and opinions.

So long limited edition OLED deck.

In the leaked info, we know that Valve has an upcoming device that will use the same APU as the current Steam Deck. We don’t know if this will be a new VR headset or a Steam Deck hardware refresh. Even though using the same APU means there won’t be a performance increase, there could be various other improvements in an...

I opened it, but will launch it a bit later. What should I do/know ? I got a protetctive glass from Jseaux too.

Here’s my two cents....

An alternative SteamOS-like distro built on Fedora for Steam Deck and Desktop

Excited and have been reading a ton here and elsewhere, the sale just pushed me into finally getting one....

A few days ago I noticed a new problem with my right trigger: it wouldn’t press all the way down with the normal force I apply, I had to press extra hard for it to actually go over the treshold and become a click. This became an issue in a few games, like Days Gone....

Probably helpful for Steam Deck OLED users or for people with external HDR displays....

“After dozens of hours on just Steam Deck, Starfield feels good in some parts, but really struggles in the bigger cities. Turning everything to low and enabling FSR2 is basically the only way to play it right now on Valve’s handheld, and even that drops to 20fps often in the first major city (New Atlantis). The game itself...

I’m using medium settings with a few (clouds, fog) low ones. FSR is off for now, I did test it briefly on Ultra Quality and did not really notice any blurrong )though it was a brief test) The FPS I’m getting is mostly above 30 but varies a lot inbetween 25-40 (40 is my refresh rate cap)....

Still seems to be available now (not going to order a second one to confirm 😂)...

For those who don’t know, Luxtorpeda is a compatibility tool that can take the place of proton for supported games. Proton works by letting windows games run on Linux, but Luxtorpeda instead works by downloading replacement linux engines for the games and running them through that instead....

Do you play more than before you got your deck?...

I’m looking for some nice local co-op games for 2-4 players. Please tell me your favourite ones that work well with controllers on a docked Steam Deck!...

The absolute worst possible time for system and game updates is when I am booting up the device or starting a game....
