That's fair, although my Acheron is holding on pretty well so far. If Cipher lets her ult almost twice as often I think she'll go right back to the top.

I was wanting to pull for her already for story reasons, but I had to skip Sunday and I wxpect she'll be bad without him.

But that passive is pretty strong, so I'm left unsure on what to do. It's definitely concerning power creep though.

Edit: oh, and the upcoming Cipher sounds like she might be another Jiaoqiu level boost for Acheron, so I should probably just save up to guarantee I can pull her.

Or new incognito window.

That's a pretty cool idea

It's been a pretty great deck experience so far. When a friend told me I should try it back during 1.2 I didn't realize how much it would hook me.

What's your opinion on the whole global passive controversy?

The battery was the biggest change for me. The more demanding deck games going from 1.5 hours of battery life to 2.5 hours was incredible.

I feel like this won't stop anyone who was already refusing to use a Microsoft account for windows. Anyone who was already bypassing the account requirement will still do so, it just will be more difficult. They've accomplished nothing except further pissing off some of their most competent user base.

That was really fast. I don't know exactly when they opened up sales for them, but I figured we'd have more time than that.

Edit they're still showing up as available for me, I've checked on a few devices. They're either going in and out of stock, or have limited regional availability.

I was recently playing Cosmoteer, and the visual similarities to FTL had me feeling nostalgic. Then I heard about a greatly improved control scheme for FTL and knew I had to try it out.

I'd also like to give credit to the Cosmoteer devs, the default steam deck control scheme handles great. The game wouldn't pe playable on a normal controller at all, but is very easy to play on the steam deck specifically.

To be honest, I haven't really seen any usb-c only hubs. All the Steam deck focused ones are covered up with USB-A ports and at least one HDMI.

Looking on amazon, I see this one and this one. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? Edit: ok, looking at those further they don't actually support video over usb-C. Here's one with 4 usb-c ports and video output.

I have a somewhat similar theme setup. I think having the cover art near the bottom with a big hero image looks a lot cleaner than the default home screen layout.

The SteamGridDB is possibly my favorite plugin as well, I love how easy it makes it to switch out game art.

That sounds lovely, just send me your matrix id and I'll add you, or you can add me @fubarberry:matrix.org

 

Most noteworthy is it now allows remote connection through PSN, allowing you to connect without configuring port forwarding.

 

CachyOS is an Arch fork that focuses on optimizations and improved performance.

Previously the hall effect joysticks were only available for the LCD deck

 

It switched from the standalone version of EAC to Epic Online Services anticheat instead, breaking steam deck support in the process.

However, EOS is normally supported on Steam Deck, so this is probably a temporary issue and will hopefully be resolved by either Valve or Respawn/Epic. We'll just have to wait and see.

Edit: this is reportedly now fixed on proton experimental

 

Sorry this post is a week late, been busy with real life stuff.

 

I heard about this awhile back, but only got around to trying it now. Junk Store is a newer Decky Plugin that allows you to view and install any of your Epic games store games right from game mode. You could already install epic games through Heroic and some other tools in desktop mode, but this is one allows easier installation (in my opinion), has full controller support for the library management UI, and will install the new games so that they show up like native steam games in your library. Overall I was really impressed by how well it worked, and wanted to recommend it.

To install it, first install the plugin from the Decky store. When you open the plugin, it will show you some different screens, and you need to go to the dependency screen and install all dependencies needed (it will do this for you, you just need to click one button). After that, close and reopen the plugin and it will show you an empty library and ask you to log into Epic. Once you're logged in, that library screen should show all your Epic games, and you can select any of them to install. After the game is installed, it will show up in the "Non Steam" tab of your library.

The plugin mentions GOG support, but it's not live yet. Also the junk store has an open plugins system that will hopefully allow other game libraries to all be accessed this way as well.

 

Proton 9.0 is officially out of beta, and should be automatically downloaded to your deck. Includes performance improvements and fixes for a lot of games.

It especially fixes a number of older games that would crash if you had too many cpu cores.

 

GeForce Now is a game streaming service. It was previously possible to use it on deck, but Nvidia is making it much easier to install and get set up. They also recently improved gamepad navigation of their service.

To install, go to their install page in desktop mode and scroll down to the steam deck option. Download and run the script.

The advantage of streaming services like this is getting great performance on lower power devices, and minimal battery usage.

 

For Steam Deck OLED support they said it's ready to the point that "it should be mostly functional", however there's at least one major issue left which "has to do with audio crashing when switching to Desktop Mode" and some other issues related to HDR support.
