Kind of wishing I sold it but oh well, I'll continue to tinker with it and play it on lunch I say keep it and wait for updates etc. Or sell it to me for $140. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming onto the bed and sitting on it, nudging it off by mistake, and their favorite stepping on and pulling the USB cable to push it off my sofa bed. I couldn't open it but ayaneo reached out and they are gonna send a replacement left trigger. It's not a major issue since alot of games don't make alot of use of LT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’ve been doing a bunch of emulation and streaming mixed in with regular pc games lately and really digging this whole, play pretty much literally any game you want from this one device thing I got going on. I hope switch 2 allows remote play so I can just stream from it in desktop mode and have all the systems right there on one device. Seems like a lot at this point to bother buying a hackable switch just to dump all my games and then I’d need a 1tb to store them so it would be like $400 to get my library on. I don’t trust downloading switch games off the internet and not having my isp yell at me, even if it’s games I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaku3 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Ok so I want to extole the benefits of redundancy. Desktop PC is down but got my Alienware laptop. Aya Neo is down but I got a steam deck to use while I wait for my replacement parts to arrive. I'm disappointed in the screen colors (im high) but having a ready and able replacement is nice. Next Steam Deck though I'm staying on steam OS. Though I am a masoquist so I could be the boards sacrifice to Gaben for Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mare you using moonlight? That’s working pretty well for me. I was having weird issues with steam streaming direct. Also Moonlight has a tool to use on the host to make sure right ports are open. And turn off hardware scheduling in graphics if you are Win11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 @Greatoneshere Some Mr. Driller with some crispy scanlines for you (though it looks better on the deck screen - and not blown up big here.) Actually I have different settings for when I play on my computer so it looks a bit different Spoiler I'm probably not changing your mind but I'm enjoying the look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice haha - I mean, it looks better than smoothing things out, but not as crisp as I'd like using the raw polygons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Review: Spider-Man on PC is a Steam Deck marvel | VGC WWW.VIDEOGAMESCHRONICLE.COM Insomniac's former PlayStation exclusive has never looked better, even on the go… Quote This is an excellent PC port with Steam Deck support that elevates to it to a must-own for anyone with Valve’s portable. While Sony may never make a PlayStation Vita 2, if its support of the Steam Deck continues as more and more PlayStation exclusives migrate to PC, it’ll soon feel like the next-generation Sony handheld many of us have always wanted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Steam deck has arrived, and my wife set it up as she is terribly kind. Sadly, I won't get home until 10 tonight and I have work at 5am so... looks like I'll be taking my steam deck to the men's room tomorrow! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
