A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Please give us a list view instead of just the grid view. I find it kind of hard to visually scan all covers in a grid to find what I'm looking for.
I will never understand, why designers love the grids so much these days. Sometimes I am literally blind for a game in collection, and end up searching for it using software keyboard on my Deck :/
Can they give me the option to permanently remap the system default inputs? My shoulder buttons don't work and I'd really like to permanently remap them to the extra flippers on the back...
I know you have your heart set on the remapping as the solution but I heavily encourage you to take advantage of the Steam Deck's extensive right-to-repair support and fix the buttons or swap the side PCBs out if that's what's broken and you can't solder. If its just the spring or the plastic, you can easily swap that.
Added a Customization tab to game properties. The Customization tab allows users to set a custom sort title that will be used instead of the actual title when sorting games in the library.
I’m not parsing this correctly…. What does it do?
When you have your game library sorted alphabetically, some games aren't grouped together like they really should be. For example, you might want all the Yakuza games grouped together, but the newer games are called like a dragon and are completely separate. You could now go and have the like a dragon games sorted as if they were also named Yakuza, so that all the games are grouped together.
Another example for me personally is that I have a bunch of Metroid games on my deck, and almost all of them are grouped together, except for Super Metroid and AM2R. Now I can move those to be listed alongside the other Metroid games.
I’ve actually always wanted to be able to override the game’s sorting name to have things grouped together. Or worse, some games are listed out of order because of some unfortunately placed ™ symbol.
Things like Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII can now be way up in the F’s with the rest of the FF games now.
Sounds like it will retain the actual name and display that to you, but you are giving it a name that is used to sort it alphabetically. Example could be you got a game that is named "The Game Title" it would probably put that into the T section instead of G so you give it the name "Game Title" for it to sort it, now it will be placed in the G section but still show the game title to you as "The Game Title"
RPS's example use case was making the Yakuza and Like A Dragon games show up in the right order. You could set the sort title of Yakuza Kiwami as, say, "Yakuza 1 Remake", to make it follow Yakuza 0, and make the Like A Dragon games sort like they're Yakuza games.
We need theeeemmmmeesss
At least CSS loader exists and works. Native theme support (probably through the point shop) would be nice though.
Why only for the Deck?
Looks like it's available in desktop mode too, so will work anywhere on Linux at the least.
Additionally, desktop mode also got native support for changing the artwork from the same menu.
Thank CHRIST. It was a badly needed feature, especially if Valve wanted me to use their Steam Client over everything else (I'd be happy to add external games to Steam, but not seeing the nice artwork really ruin things)
