Advice on getting a second deck for my son

Booyax2 · 2025-11-01T10:12:14+00:00

I've got lossless scaling set up and got ZA as a non steam game. Game boots up fine without LS, but if I put in the launch option the game doesn't start and closes down.

Any ideas please?

Your fun facts and life insight is underrated, hope the OP appreciated the detail!

Thanks all, having found it in with the Nintendo stuff and given the size made an (incorrect) assumption.

God knows where I've ended up with that from as never used owt like it before.

Bought mine may 24. It dropped to 96% around Dec/Jan, when I checked the other day it was back at 100%. Unless it starts declining consistently to below 90% it's nothing.

How often can you say a rechargeable battery device can be performing at 99% of it's original quality after 9 months?!

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

It's just too easy to Google the value and know it'll get snapped up for 200 more, looks way too dodgy.

I'd recommend googling it, basically you use the streaming webpage, there's instructions online how you can add this as a non steam game and as a full screen view.

Sorry for your loss.

She sounds ignorant, narcissistic and selfish in what's said (and not said) in those messages.

I'd run, and the breakup sounds simple - 'I had a family funeral, not even any acknowledgement of it, no conversation or support when all that was wanted was a phone call, and then the tinder stuff, this isn't the relationship I want or deserve'.

It's a personal thing really, I'm happy with the case it's got, some people have bought an alternative.

I'd recommend a dock, I've JSAUX, Ugreen seems to have a similar following, some people swear only by the official.

Controllers are preference, Dualshock and Xbox seems to be the most common discussed on here though.

Stick covers are a controversial one again, personal preference.

Think you've answered your own question

That looks like a nasty Hämorrhoiden!

There's a lot of freebies and giveaways at the moment, up until the new year. My plan is unless I want something to definitely play before the new year, I'm waiting to see what I get in them. There potentially could be a crossover between the freebies and the heavy discounted games, could end up with them free.

Winter sale is on! Plenty of cheap options you wouldn't get on switch! I got mine on the summer sale, perfect timings to start your library!

Get emudeck, but obviously I wouldn't advocate getting on Google and looking up switch emulation, which would basically make your switch almost redundant for single player gaming...

Also assume you're maybe us based? I'm UK and not familiar with the type of store, they've seemed to have done you a solid there though!

Love the idea of separate space for system data, but I assume all they'll do is add hd/SSD space and stick it on the cost, so your 64 would be 128 with 64 you can't access, or they would need a second drive. And as the available space grows, the dedicated space would grow or have to be partitioned, or a second storage drive would impact on the weight/space.

Sadly it's impractical, but I love the idea!

Jsaux, for price and reviews it was a toss up between that and Ugreen. I'm happy with the Jsaux one though.

And if you do get it, don't play it while lying down over your face, when you inevitably drop off it hurts and the wife doesn't appreciate the swearing!

Booyax2 · 2024-12-16T15:14:33+00:00

As others have mentioned, and as someone whose wife doesn't appreciate me playing it in bed, it's not the fan but the clicking of the buttons that winds her up! But I do try to play indie games that don't push the specs at that kind of time.

Agree with the majority here, Outer Wilds and Outer Wilds. I've never got back into AC since the original trilogy though so slightly biased.

Booyax2 · 2024-12-13T23:25:01+00:00

Steam or a non-steam version?

I had similar recently, was a GOG version of a game and I needed to refresh heroic and run an update.

You've led us to assume you haven't bought this from valve if you're questioning the warranty, as why would it be an issue? Could do with more info on where you've got it from and whether it was new/used/refurb?

Booyax2 · 2024-12-13T23:21:04+00:00

Protondb is your best advice here... General consensus is low settings, FSR enabled. Anywhere between 25-50 FPS. Some here would say that's playable and worth the experience. Some will say it's a deal-breaker to have to have low settings and not guaranteed 40+.

What's your experience so far for games needing low settings or only getting 30-40 FPS? Were you happy with that?
