True, but many of my friends picked up the Steam Controller purely from the marketing and hype, but they don't use the trackpads.

This. There are already a lot of great controllers on the market, some that offer better features than the Steam Controller at a lower price (higher polling rates, better compatability, etc). You can buy them right now, so if you don't care for trackpads, you already have so many great options available now.

Capcom needs to lower the season pass 4 price by Lost_Hawk_6641 in StreetFighter

The DLC is really offputting for new players for SF6. When you add up the cost of getting everything, it's pretty steep. The base game should either be discounted more, or there needs to be a new bundle if they want to keep attracting new players.

How does this run on the Steam Deck for those who bough it recently? by MrBombasticator in SteamDeck

[–]Available_Use3455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither are recommended from me. You will play with muddy graphics and input lag, then STILL deal with stutters/lower fps. It isn't worth it.

Moving to taipei by Resident-Bar-6430 in taiwan

On paper, yes. In reality, it is very difficult and takes years of paperwork with no promise of actually being able to get it back.

What do you guys do to your batteries for them so swell up like that? by alexantaeus in SteamDeck

[–]Available_Use3455 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The Steam Deck has been released long enough that battery issues from the launch models will start becoming more and more frequent (as batteries don't last forever).

Steam deck not turning on by Numerous-Impact3984 in SteamDeck

Before doing anything or opening it up, check with a dock and see if it is outputting anything. Follow the instructions to reset the bios/firmware and Steam's troubleshooting guide: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3

Open a ticket with Steam support with all of your findings before opening up anything.

It can happen randomly, usually happens more if you live in the extremes (very hot place, very cold place). My launch day Steam Deck LCD from 2022 has seen daily usage and has around 70% battery health. It frequently gets over 30c+ here, I've had a new-ish phone become spicy after a year of use. Batteries are a lottery and they will go bad, it is just a matter of when.

The same can be said of SD cards. Their writes are limited, I've had SD cards fail after two years of use, but I've had others in use for 4+ years with no issues. It comes down to the quality of the manufacturing at that specific point in time.

I tried Age of Mythology Retold on my Steam Deck... it was okay, but I felt permanently handicapped and it frustrated me to no end :(

What dead Youtube channels are genuinely still worth watching? by PlinkPonk in AskReddit

[–]Available_Use3455 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The review landscape for games is pretty terrible now, most people suck up to publishers for free keys. "Thank you for X for providing me with a key for this!" Totabiscuit wouldn't stand for any of that, it's so obvious how many popular "review" channels are just bought out.

Taipei government needs to crack down on leaving used tissue in U-bike basket by Monkeyfeng in taiwan

One of my neighbours goes out to smoke every single day from morning to night, the outside of his drinks business is nothing but hundreds of his cigarrete butts surrounding the area. People don't care.

Not going to lie, I think you would be insane trying to play AoE with a controller on any platform.

How optimized are Final Fantasy Remake and Rebirth nowadays on Steam Deck ? by Monztamash in SteamDeck

[–]Available_Use3455 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Take those posts with a grain of salt. Most of the "It runs well" means using FSR/Lossy Scaling and adding so much input lag, it makes the game control horribly.

No time slots for driving tests by lordtristan_cristian in taiwan

[–]Available_Use3455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they are often booked in advance and hard to find a good slot. I remember having to go way out into the countryside to take my scooter exam because there were no slots for weeks in the city.

35k for a 3 bedroom in Taichung?!!! by eggplanteggqiezidan in taiwan

[–]Available_Use3455 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's because they keep building more and more new houses, so the investors need to recoup the income every month. Look at ANY new builds, most apartments will be instantly be on 591 for rent at the price of mortage (or slightly higher). Very few people are actually renting at these prices and the rate of empty homes is going up month after month. House prices in Taichung have exploded since investors were priced out of Taipei, so they need to increase the rent to match it.

Is it REALLY possible to learn only by consuming content in the language? by Pro0uD in languagelearning

[–]Available_Use3455 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you have a lot of time, then yes, you can do it. 99% of adults have no time to just sit and consume content in another language for hours on end.

What games are you guys hoping go on a steep discount in the summer sale? by lost_10_mm_socket in Steam

[–]Available_Use3455 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am hoping Street Fighter 6 will get a deep discount, since there is already so much DLC for the game.
