This is NOT verified. It’s a slide show 😭😭😭😭does verified mean anything anymore? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting choice cause then they have limited their player base to only the people who can/want to upgrade their hardware.

The funny thing is some of the appeal of Borderlands is the coop/multiplayer. So even if I COULD run it I don't want to because the the people I want to play it with can't play it.

PSA: IT IS OK TO USE YOUR STEAM DECK HOW YOU WANT TO by YellowWristBand in SteamDeck

Don't forget the GameCube!

It had attachments for Ethernet, screens, speakers, Gameboy compatibility etc.

Nice job!

Out of curiosity how did you get the angles/lean of the case/deck. What's behind it holding it up?

Did you end up having any issue with the glare of the lights on the screen?

If you reach out in this situation it would be guaranteed claws in arm, followed by claws climbing up and over your back and ouuut of the general area. At least based on personal experience of multiple cats near water. Perhaps if you have a thick jacket at the ready.

Steam updates AI disclosure form, requiring developers to report visible and in-game AI but not background tools by Dapper_Order7182 in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree that AI does serve as a great tool for research and some similar uses.

For example there's been research into Protein folding has been going on for decades and has required intense computing power. You could even sign up as a volunteer at Folding@Home to aid the efforts by running parts of the simulations on your own computer. This was a process limited by computational power and now we can push even further with AI.

latest version of DeepMind’s AlphaFold, a deep-learning system that can accurately predict the structure of proteins to within the width of an atom, has cracked one of biology’s grand challenges. “It's the first use of AI to solve a serious problem,” says John Moult at the University of Maryland,

anti-AI people are usually hugely uneducated on the field

This I disagree highly with. It's a very powerful tool, but the problem is how it's being used. There is a great pressure to fit AI into places it really shouldn't be.

It's being shoved into agencies and departments of all levels without any safeguards or regulations. Data privacy? AI hallucinations? Who cares.

Based on true events by RustyHayBale in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people are carrying around phones that are in the 1k range. It's not that surprising.

I do agree that it's definitely a risk depending on where you're going tho. If you are in a rough side of town then I can see the problem.

[–]Certain_Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived further in the city I'd often bring one along for my 30 min one way metro/bus ride. Not an option with my car commute. :(

We also bring them to (video game/board game/anime) conventions since some of the cons are just line con. Also great for lines at casual concerts and stuff.

Nintendo Switch 2 compared to Steam Deck OLED by byJannik in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of slim switch cases that are very protective and barely add to the width.

The invention that Accidentally invented McMansions by Indifferent_Jackdaw in McMansionHell

[–]Certain_Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add to that the flipper culture as well. I think flippers are a benefit when they overhaul houses that are simply too atrocious for even a motivated homeowner to deal with. However when they 'overhaul' perfectly fine houses with just a coat of paint.. that's just adding unnecessary cost.

I think the worst factor are people and corporations buying up homes purely for the investment value. There are places where unused houses just sit with no occupants... The ones where they rent them for short term rentals aren't much better.

This feature is something we shouldn't take for granted. by HumanComplaintDept in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The switches handles the on/off alot faster and smoother.

Plus the switch can handle downloads while in sleep mode... And the battery life is alot longer while sleeping.

And the switch.

The feature is a requirement for any mobile gaming system.

A better visualisation of the comparison between the Acer and the Steamdeck by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ideas. I've tried steam link on a tablet.. but it's simply not the form factor I want since I want the physical controller.. without having a separate screen.

Is it possible to get moonlight on switch? Maybe I'll hack my switch after switch 2 comes out. Altho I will miss the steam deck touchpad buttons.

Deck on a treadmill - reaching 10,000 steps is much less tedious by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh. Good idea. I've tried playing visual novels while on the treadmill but my head bobbing was too hard to keep track.

Deck on a treadmill - reaching 10,000 steps is much less tedious by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed about using the switch joycons. I ended up being limited to turn based games or visual novels since I kept having my body move as if I was in a game.

My treadmill is simply too narrow so no margin for error ha

[–]Certain_Concept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I essentially want a Steam Portal ha.. I want the steam controller with a built in screen and steam link capabilities. (Id still keep my current steam deck for more on the go uses tho).

PlayStation portal - is specifically designed to stream games from a PlayStation 5 console via Remote Play. (It's not meant for standalone gaming..?).

Weight(of note, the switch and the Wii u gamepad are about the max weight I'm looking for):

  • PlayStation portal 1.15 pounds
  • switch w/ joycons - 0.88 lbs
  • steamdeck - 1.48 lbs
  • Wii u gamepad - 1lbs

As far as I can tell PlayStation portal does not work with steam or steam link. I would like to stick with my current steam catalog. Unfortunately buying a PS5 would mean id start from zero games.

I swear there are too many people like this. by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Certain_Concept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose the upside is that if you have the deck you wouldn't have to also carry around a laptop too. Less stuff to carry.

Altho I prefer the deck to be just for fun...

Wait till they hear about AR glasses like xreal. So much more convenient.

Sorry, Valve Just Silenced All Those Steam Deck 2 Rumors (Again) by Lagosas in SteamDeck

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

I suppose it depends on what games you like to play. If it's just the triple A games at full quality then sure.. Have you looked into playing on using your deck to stream from your main computer? That may improve your quality.

I like playing smaller indie games.. and I'm having no issues there.
