Your average friendly nihilist from Finland.
Only reason I have overclocked Raspberry Pi 400 for net, office and bank stuff are those shitty spyware anti-cheats. This way I don’t have to worry what kind of monstrosities are installed on my deck, because it’s only used for gaming, but you are right, you can manage with just the deck, unless you need some high end proprietary windows software for your self-employed work.
So much good hardware, but lazy obsession to enshittify them with Windows.
Agreed. I experimented heavily with different control options and had special configs for all classes and even for some weapon sets. Some things were really good, others remained combersome. Also used the steam controller.
In toughest lvl 5 moments, no tweaking was enough. It was “OK” if you were on the road and with shitload of practice it might have been great.
In the end, I’ve done most of my playing with Dock + keyb + trackball + external display.
So far just Juno: New Origins
I’ve been mostly playing:
Will pick up Juno when I get a chance to play when I’m not dead tired.
Especiallyspecially in the 80’s the “nerds and jocks” division was tangible. For jocks it was a social suicide to say they played video games or knew how to use a computer and nerds were beaten and bullied for being a member in the local computer club.
Jocks often had secret friendships with a nerd to play video games that they instantly denied if questioned.
So I understand where your hostility comes from, but still a little rough.
Here the setup broke down in the 90’s when jocks started using computers to get to the early social medias, because nerds sisters were there. Sisters had taken interest what their nerd brothers were doing and saw the potential in chats and forums.

Played it through when it appeared on steam. Not sure if some of the story clips bugged out or was the game just that trippy
Gotta get that Deep Rock Galactic anniversary hat.
Tried to get back to Valheim, but so far it hasn’t sunk.
Enjoyed Easy Red 2 surprisingly mutch. You can run it on Steam Deck with max NPC count. Real meat grinding battles. AI has some room for improvement, but it doesn’t ruin it.
Wasn’t it unofficial support? The kind of “at your own risk” stuff linux users get from everywhere.
Why does that post sound like: "Fuck off! …and do it nicely without causing a fuss…please.
Not only Epic. Line “just use Proton and complain to Steam support if it doesn’t work” is coming more common.
Invincible, Death Stranding, Gunner Heat PC, Deep Rock Galactic, Trepang2.
Starting to approach my limit on FPS games. Maybe transition a bit back on 4X games or base builders.
…and if you have a physical copy with a CD-key you can just activate that game in your Steam library using the CD-key, if the game is available on Steam store.
My problems aren’t necessarily caused by the dock firmware.
I used a cheap dongle I bought from a local supermarket a year ago to connect to my living room TV. It had worked fine in the past, but now I had to boot the deck 4 times to get clean picture and audio.
Culprit is definitely the Steam OS update 3.5.5.
I updated the dock firmware right after that update. It actually failed two times and it only worked after I connected the dock with wire directly instead of decks wifi.
Yes. Every reboot seems like a lottery. Hdmi, hdmi audio or USB connected peripherals might not work.
If something is missing, disconnecting dock power and deck connection for a moment and you’ll get a reroll and everything might work.
Update, if somebody is having same problems…
Just for the hell of it, I connected the steam dock with wire instead of wifi and the firmware update finished successfully. I don’t know how it matters. Deck should be controlling the process and the connection.
Deck is still sometimes unable to detect peripherals connected to the dock including display and it seems random.
Rebooting enough times will eventually give you an instance where everything works.
Anyone else having problems with the dock after this update.
On steamdeck itself, deck crashed and rebooted after recovering from standby mode with Death Stranding running.
Not enjoying this so far.
I’ve been planning to get in to this game for a long time, but haven’t done it, because I got a bit allergic to this game type in the 80’s and early 90’s.
Maybe this a good time.
Raspberry Z-wave module came with rudimentary software, that was just awful. Documentation and debug tools were utter crap and I never want to do that kind of trial and error bs ever again.
I basicly use the software to pass trigger events to linux and handle the timing and remote UI. Linux commandline clients then handle sending messages, capturing images/video and sending captured material to a cloud server.
Software allows remote control through webpage, that you can access either directly in LAN or through an obscure server that uses reverse SSH to get past your firewal.
I blocked the shady SSH connection and only use it directly through my VPN.
For some reason I’ve played Noita for the past month. Every time I’ve started to get bored I get a good run and the game dumps something new and interesting on my lap.
