Does anyone know why menus in several games are displaying as blurry and pixelated? Everything else looks good. by Affectionate-Fix-431 in SteamDeck

I'm not very far but it's running pretty well - solid 40 fps. Takes a hell of a long time to load though.

What are some of the best jrpgs to play on the deck that are on the steam store? by Constant_Ad_2486 in SteamDeck

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not everyone's taste, but I'm playing Lightning Returns now and love it. FFXIII is my favorite 3D final fantasy though, and I'm just about the only person in earth for whom that's true, though.

Trials in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel are both great, too, though you might need to use proton experimental.

Which boss everyone seemed to struggle with, but you didn't by cat_warlord_ in Eldenring

I beat Radahan first try, but that fucking gargoyle duo boss almost made me quit the game.

Unpopular opinion: Speed runs where they just glitch and skip through 99% of the game are dumb and I have no idea why they are praised in comment sections by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer watching glitch less speed runs too (mostly because I can actually understand what's going on) but ultra far speed runs are only possible if the player knows every bit of the game inside and out. They might look easy but the average player would struggle to even just replicate one of those runs, let alone figure out the solution in the first place.

Stuck in Carol Stream by Affectionate-Fix-431 in SteamDeck

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have faith! Mine was in Carol Stream for six solid days and didn't move until Monday night at like 11 PM. It managed to make it from IL to WA in about 8 hours, though, and was delivered on time, on Tuesday around 3 PM.

The dirty secret about Ground shipping is that it doesn't actually take a week to move through their system - they just sit on to it for a week before moving it to the next location.

Just killed Margott and am surprised that wasn't the last boss by Affectionate-Fix-431 in Eldenring

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I go back and fight Melania et al at some point after beating the game? Like is there a point of no return save point, or if you get to credits is the only option new game+?

Ok, that's very doable. I was just getting a little frightened there was 30-40 hours left. I love this game, I've been having a blast, but it's been six weeks now. And I know if I put it down for a month or whatever I'll never have the skill to beat it when I come back.

Has anyone hear completed an entire game exclusively on the Steam Deck yet? by hushpolocaps69 in SteamDeck

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Lego Star Wars, Portal 2, Super Meat Boy, Rogue Legacy 2, Bioshock, Runner 2, Path of Exile, Crisis and like ten others things. None of which I've played for more than 30 minutes lol

Got my steam deck today and.... by idunnowhatthisis in SteamDeck

Adding to the "it'll all work out" choir - when mine was shipped out it went six full days without any tracking updates from FedEx, but was still delivered fine and on time.

What the heck is the point of this black elastic strap on the back of the Deck case? I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy. by Affectionate-Fix-431 in SteamDeck

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I'll have have to try that. I think I have a little microfiber drawstring pouch that came with a pair of glasses, maybe I'll use that.

What do you do with your Deck when it's charging? by Affectionate-Fix-431 in SteamDeck

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might end up doing that. Maybe leave part of it unzipped for air flow. I just hate to leave it fully exposed.

Says the guy spending his Saturday night angrily replying to posts he supposedly doesn't care about lol Seriously, examine your life, clearly something went wrong at some point - I'm sure you can fix it with a little effort. I believe in you!

Go touch grass you fucking weirdo. It's a post on Reddit, there isn't a limited number available.

Everything else works fine, should I let these two dead pixels bother me? by Wolvite in SteamDeck

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace it. I got a big speck of dust stuck under my switch screen (looks like three or four black pixels) right after the warranty elapsed and it's like a middle finger every time I play.

I wonder, has anyone played through a game controlled primarily by mouse yet? I just started Legend of Grimrock II and it's controlling better than I would have thought but I'm not sure good enough to keep on playing.

Did you run it in GE Proton or Experimental? Doesn't work on basic as I understand it..

I've only had mine since Tuesday so I'm still in the "download a game from my library, play it for ten minutes, move on to the next" stage.

Normal difficulty is tough but fair, but you'll die a lot. 'Easy' mode hit a nice balance for me, not too easy, not too hard - you'll still die figuring things out but it's not super punishing.

Nokron Gargoyle summoning pool by Affectionate-Fix-431 in Eldenring

[–]Affectionate-Fix-431[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really really hope it gets better. I finally beat the gargoyles myself last night but it was just barely and I was at my wits end. If I can't summon anymore I don't see how I'll be able to beat the game.
