I’ve had my 512gb LCD since January of 2023 and it still has 100% battery health.

The creator mentioned why on the discord mentioned in the post above. The jist of the reasoning is cost.

That’s completely fair. Not every mod for the steam deck is for everyone.

The reason it isn’t available in the EU, yet, is that it isn’t CE certified.

For me: I want to do a shell swap, upgrade the SSD, and change out the buttons and thumb sticks. I may as well upgrade the screen at the same time. I was initially looking at the deck HD screen, but that mod seems to be in a really bad place since they shut down their email servers, and customer support is non-existent even on their discord server. Then I saw this and decided that it was worth the $40 more than it would be to buy just a replacement screen from iFixit. I have pressure damage on my LCD screen and I want to keep this particular piece of machinery as long as possible.

I went ahead and backed it. I am slowly amassing everything I need for a complete shell swap (and other bits and bobs to mod my deck - last things needed are a bigger SSD and a SSD enclosure to clone the drive/use the original as external storage). If this gets funded, I’ll just wait until I get it in May and just not have to worry about detaching the stock screen and reattaching it to the new shell. If this doesn’t get funded I’ll just order a replacement screen from ifixit.

You could be like me and buy it on android, gog, Xbox, and steam (twice as I paid for my kid’s copy and then my own)… Although, tbh, all those copies were purchased over multiple years.

First got into it when Amazon offered it as their free app of the day. Gosh, that’s been a while ^^’

I use the Logitech Pop keyboard and their MX Ergo trackball mouse. Found a case for my keyboard, and it’s slightly wider than the deck.

I find this hilarious because you can currently buy a Minecraft themed charging brick and/or cord and get a code for a cosmetic VR headset for bedrock edition inside the packaging. 🙃

Thanks! I guess I missed that bit when I initially set it up. I’ll try this out. :)

Does anyone know of a similar alternative? Junk Store only covers Epic unless you donate. I know I could use Lutris and/or Heroic and manually add the non steam games that way. I do like the ability to see them in the non steam tab on my deck in gaming mode.

Thank you for sharing this! I haven’t booted up my PS5 in months… Can this be used without their monthly subscription thing? I didn’t see that mentioned on the remote play website, so I figured I’d ask the stupid question.

Cult of the Lamb

Bought it right at the end of the summer sale. Been having a blast.

Unsure. From the way they word it on their website it doesn’t sound that way:

Why is it on Epic and not on Steam?

World of Goo 2 would not exist if Epic had not helped us fund the game! We were able to hire artists and engineers for multiple years to help us build the biggest game we’ve ever made. We’re grateful for this! You’ve likely seen similar arrangements with other games, and I imagine ours is comparable.

If you don’t use Epic, that’s ok. You can always get World of Goo 2 right here on this page, DRM-free, for Win / Mac / Linux. Just scroll up there. And if you have a Nintendo Switch, you can get it on the eShop directly on your device.

After your purchase on their site you get directed to Humble Bundle. I did not see it on my list of purchases, but I was able to download it using the link I received right after purchasing via my email.

Bought several to share through Family Beta, but the two for me were Bravely Default II and Catlateral Damage. Played the first two Bravely games on the DS, and the other game I got just looks like fun.

As for what I’m playing? Backlog 😅 When I’m in the mood for story rich I’m playing Death Stranding. When I’m in the mood for just something fun I’m playing Peglin.

I have not

I’m using a pair of Corsair HS55 via Bluetooth without any issues. Got them on sale cheap-ish and I’m happy. Only used the mic when I’ve had it connected to my phone and been told there’s no noticable difference between the headset mic and the phone mic.

Forza Horizon 4 - I had to search to the acronym

It’s a great game. The devs seem really chill on their discord server. I highly suggest people try this game out even if visual novels aren’t your usual genre of games.

Almost daily. I have treatment resistant radial styloid tenosynovitis so when that flares up nothing is easy to play.

Initially the games were those on the lighter side, but now I’ve moved on to more graphically intensive games (sometimes having to tweak settings, sometimes not).

When I want a bigger screen I bust out the dock and set up the portable monitor I bought for it - and, depending on what I’m playing I’ll either get out the mouse and keyboard or the controller.

I don’t have a set space for my setup so having the ability to pack up everything is a huge plus.
