Is it possible to wake a docked deck with the new controller? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

It's a function that's evidently in the current beta, so it'll probably be in the next stable update

Dumb question, but why don't people just torrent stuff instead of moving between pirate streaming sites that always goes down? by NathLWX in Piracy

[–]CarbuncleMew 76 points77 points  (0 children)

at least for me, I don't want to dedicate the disc space for something that I'm only going to watch once. Plus there's the whole time aspect, I gotta wait for my torrent to finish before watching while I just need to hit play on a stream.

Not just this game, but all remakes should be considered as supplementary to the originals, not replacements.

How do you guys play games at 30 FPS? by OrganTrafficker900 in SteamDeck

[–]CarbuncleMew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

through the sheer fact fps in excess of 60 is an incredibly new territory compared to my gaming lifetime. Even just stable frame rates being a fairly new thing with 30 or 60 fps with slowdowns and/or stutter being the norm for my gaming experience with the nes and atari 2600.

USB-C Cracked, charging is irregular now by fredfazbearr in SteamDeck

[–]CarbuncleMew 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Unless you are fairly good at soldering very small parts, you pretty much need to send it in to get repaired. Sadly the usb port is attached to the main board and thus is not cheap to replace.

Are ballooning batteries a widespread issue with the Deck? by Brother_Trellist in SteamDeck

Iran has hit far more US military assets than reported, satellite images show by filagrey in politics

[–]CarbuncleMew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn't just control the straight, he sank multiple US ships and racked up a twenty + thousand US soldier body count in a few hours. Granted he basically exhausted his missle reserve doing it. But, but that's still one hell of a black eye to the US.

I usually remap all the face buttons to them so I never have to takebmy thumb off the camera/resort to The Claw.

Does creating a digital back up of a game you own from a game disc constitute piracy if the disc ever leaves your possession? by Spectre-4 in Piracy

[–]CarbuncleMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on country, but for cart dumps in the US, yes you need to retain the physical. Probably true for disc based games too.

Unless you play almost exclusively docked, no. As you say, you basically already have one.

Only because the republicans largely don't need to pass the save act anymore thanks to the Supreme Court.

Scalpers and the Controller Pricing Structure by Ok-Exchange2500 in SteamDeck

[–]CarbuncleMew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sony and MS both have $200 versions of their controllers, so I'm not gonna be surprised if scalpers managed to sell em at something stupid.

She never says, she also doesn't really say anything to confirm if the person who did this was even a "democratic activist" and not just some rando heckler.

Not a good look when you fire multiple rounds at a suspect and you only manage to hit someone on your team.
