I have Steam Deck. AMA

how often and how long are you away from that rig?

Even if I'm not away I don't play many demanding games, not as many as i'd like, I still manage to sit ~5 hours a day at my rig but i mostly browse web during that time.
I use deck exclusively at home and it's perfect for type of games that I enjoy. I mostly use deck when I wake up and don't want to get up from bed, or if I want to spend some time near another human being but still want to do my own thing

To be honest I think high end gaming rigs are a meme.
I think retards bring too much attention to fans. They don't bother me at all, sure you can hear them the same way you can hear fans in your rig during gaming, meaning they don't distract or you forget they are even there.
I tried only one unverified game, this new pokemon ripoff and it worked flawlessly. I believe if a game has controller support, it will most likely play well on deck. But I also tried verified bridge contructor portal which is a mouse heavy game and despite being verified I don;t think it works that great

I did not, but I was surprised how easy it is to get into arch linux.
Essentially this steam os is just an app running in fullscreen and you can just quit it like you quit steam and boom, you are on desktop.
I've watched youtube vids with people emulating and from what i've seen it should work great. You can even load non steam games into steam os so they appear in your library (just like on desktop steam)

thoughts on gyro? are the two trackpads and backbuttons useful while gaming?

what's the credit card number, security code on the back, and billing zip code of your credit card with the highest credit limit?

How does it feel to own a paperweight that will be quickly outclassed?

Which model did you get?

How loud are the fans? And does it feel too heavy to hold it in bed above your face?

Trackpads and back buttons are objectively superior to sticks and front buttons. Too bad it will take people probably another 10 years to finally realize that.

Nice "outclassing" you got there.

why are you playing those 'games'

You don't have the same fans I do. I can hear my fans going wheeeeeze even during idle tasks.

Ace Combat 7 is pretty much the perfect game for Steam Deck. It really shows off the powerful mobile hardware giving you 60 fps gameplay while still looking great. It really does look light years ahead of Switch games.

I use trackpad in fps games and as a PC gamer, I prefer it to joystick
Gyro requires getting used to it but in fps games, when you need to nudge your crosshair just a little bit, gyro does help.
When you are not thoughtful about your gyro usage it's easy to forget about your joystick/trackpad and use gyro to move camera long distance, where you should be doing it with joystick/trackpack, easy to get fatigued that way. Out of all features I think this is the most redundant
I haven't played any game that requires back buttons but they do have potential, especially in fast paced games.take your meds

If I were to bring it on a four hour flight would a power bank allow me to run shit at max settings for more than two hours?

how's the ui feel?
is it quick to wake up from sleep mode and get into a game?
what do you think about the battery life?

>it's easy to forget about your joystick/trackpad and use gyro to move camera long distance
that's probably cause gyro just feels the best out of all the inputs,we all know joysticks are shit,but the touchpads are still not as accurate as well-done gyro.

Nice budget laptop for little kids you got there. Hope you didn't pay more than 50$ for it.

desu i don't notice fans when gaming, it could be because I didn't push deck to its limits
>does it feel too heavy to hold it in bed above your face?
who the fuck plays like that? I can't hold phone this way without it quickly becoming uncomfortable. When in bed i play it while laying on my stomach and i could be doing that for the entire day
of course i can hear fans when i quit the game but what im saying is that they are not as loud as people make them out to be. It's not a fucking jet engine

How have you not gotten rid of it yet because of the fan noise?

Can it run doom?

pic unrelated I assume.

How does One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 run on it

>When in bed I play it while laying on my stomach
Is this something you have to be skinny to do? I’m obese and this sounds like hell on my neck and back

How easy is it to go into the filesystem to install mods? How does it handle mod loaders? This is a deal maker for me since valve touts its ability to do "mods" but they're clearly referring to the steam workshop which is extremely limited and the one game I really want to play is Sonic Adventure with the bug fixes and dreamcast textures.

Stop playing games and excercise. Games are not meant for obese people. Games are meant for athletes and high iq people

You can get 2.5 hours battery life if you cap your fps to 30 in cyberpunk
maybe try using additional pillow under your belly, right on your dick

It's not a jet engine but it takes away some of the portable accessibility with fans being so distracting. I can never imagine playing on an airplane or the like due to the wheeze.

Maybe your best bet is desktop mode

not him,but im a bigger guy and ive never had a problem playing games on my stomach,though i also sleep on it too so that may help
not on deck,but im on linux (so it should be similar,any limits on the filesystem the deck has by default should have no effect on modding),and modding may take a few extra steps,but it mostly works fine manually. (only exception is batch file installs usually have problems).

though i don't use most "mod loaders" (the only ones i use are native) so i know less about those,but the ones ive used have worked fine.

Not OP, but I took mine on a plane and you don't hear it above the ambient noise. I think I got one of the ones with a shitty fan because I do hear it if the room is quiet (The pitch is high, which makes it audible)

the only ones i use regularly are native*

Battery life is entirely dependant on load. 15W being max, which lasts you 1.5-2 hours. You can always hard cap TDP to 7 or so for 3-4 hour gameplay. But by then you're locked to either lighter/older games or 30 fps/FSR toggles.

steamOS operates on arch linux, also see All I know is that it's possible to play and mod minecraft on deck but from what i've read it is pain to deal with, but that has more to do with operating system than steam deck

it look like dog shit, like some ps3 era games, retard

use multiMC,it makes stuff like mods alot easier on linux,the official client sucks.

How does noita play out on deck? it doesn't feel like it'd work at all without kb+m

Why does the touchscreen not work in some games, as in very inaccurate. Is it because of difference between the game resolution and the decks? I want to play some old school xcom on it

How to tell you've never been on an airplane without saying you've never been on an airplane.

Just use the touchpads, it's much better than smudging your fingers all over the screen.

you could probably just bind it to the decks controls,with the touchpad emulating a mouse.
im 99% sure notia has no problems on linux,so other than needing to bind controls (or learn a community config),you should be fine.

Not in motion asswipe

I don't knoow. I also noticed how inaccurate sometimes it feels even on verified games. To me touch screen seems like a gimmick.
I hope updates will fix this shit

haven't played noita but if you feel that way then you are probably right. Trackpad can replace mouse but I haven't used deck for long enough to the point where using it is efortless. I can't imagine you can be fast and accurate with your coursor on such a small touch area

>it doesn't feel like it'd work at all without kb+m
You map wasd to dpad (or setup the left stick as cross gate dpad with wasd), right trackpad as mouse, and all important shortcuts to back buttons so you don't have to take your fingers off the aiming to use them, and it plays just fine once you get used to it. If you want to be fancy you can even setup a custom radial menu for the left trackpad that allows you to quickly select any wand or item you need.

How is coromon compared to mainline pokemon/pokemon romhacks?
