Pseudoregalia was fantastic

Also if an update gets completely borked while installing (i.e. you lost power), then it just boots into the version you were running previously thanks to the A/B update scheme. It’s neat.

Throw some silicone joystick protector rings on your sticks if you haven’t. Makes the joystick almost completely silent even when I slam them against the shell, and as long as they’re seated right and clean they’ll still slide smoothly against the shell. Just make sure to run through the calibration script so you still have full joystick range after adding them

It’s just regulation. No sweepstakes allowed without some “skill” involved

Unless their production costs are vastly cheaper for the old model, I give it maybe 6 months before they replace the 256 LCD sku with an OLED version. They probably know they wouldn’t be able to keep up with releasing the entire lineup at once and want to get just a bit more use out of the existing lcd sku production line and supply chain (using up already purchased components and running out contracts) before they shutter it.

This. Do I want an OLED deck? Yes. Do I need one? Absolutely not. I like my deck enough and I can wait for Steam Deck 2.

Doesn’t proton-ge have a specific build for LoL that makes this shit basically trivial?

Off topic

If you hold down the Steam button, do the controls work? And are you launching the apps from the Steam UI or from the start menu?

That’s not wild speculation, just normal speculation. It’d also maybe possible that the refreshed sephiroth chip that’s also been found recently could be used in both a deck refresh and deckard.

Valve does tend to re-use hardware between different products when it makes sense anyways. The watchman dongle for SteamVR controller data was just a Steam Controller dongle. You can actually flash the firmwares between each.
