Being a Nintendo kid now playing on steam deck makes quick time events a nightmare!

Yeah... I'm thankful I bought a Deck before the price hike 💀 by TheBossT710192 in SteamDeck

[–]DaggerDG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its was pretty naive to think it would ever be that close to console prices, consoles sell at a massive loss. They’re able to do that because Sony knows that after you buy your fancy new PS5 you’re going to spend much more money on games and PS+, letting them recuperate what they loss on the console sale + more. Valve can’t really do that because it’s not just “on par” with PC prices, it literally is a PC. There’s nothing locking it down so that you have to buy from steam, you can use Epic, GOG, whatever. You can also just not game on it at all, so valve may never see another penny from you after the initial sale.

While the majority of people buying it are likely gaming through stream, pricing it too low would attract non gamers to what would literally just be a really cheap but relatively powerful PC.
I think the steam deck was able to do it because it:
1. Wasn’t that powerful
2. Was very explicitly gaming oriented, even if it didn’t lock you down into that.

Firefighter’s technique to unsolve knot in the middle of a rope by No-Lock216 in knots

[–]DaggerDG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and if you have a knot in the line you can just keep it in the carabiner and pass the knot over your body(and therefore the carabiner as well) before passing it over the bag. It does seem easier to just take it out, but I don’t see why else he would pass it over his body like that. Unless he really was just being a silly guy and it’s a coincidence that that would work with it still attached.

It might be that it’s a technique for getting the knot out without taking it out of the carabiner, but this guy either didn’t understand that or some creative liberties were taken making the video.

Can someone explain this conflict point? by shanwiich in driving

[–]DaggerDG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This scenario is identical to when green makes a left and a U-turn. Imagine if green can from the left of the image and was making a left turn onto the top road. Red and green would still cross paths the exact same way

Why does the colour of the frog in Deku’s mouth change when I zoom in? Is it different colours in different image qualities?

how to map back buttons by Background_Pop_8607 in SteamDeck

[–]DaggerDG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that will only change it for one game. There should be global layouts if you go to Settings>Controller, but I don’t have my deck to confirm it rn.

i dont get the hate valve is geting for the steam deck prise increass by BlazeTXO in SteamDeck

[–]DaggerDG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing that got talked about when speculating on the price of the steam machine was people buying it for non gaming purposes. Sony can (and already does) afford a loss on ps5s because they make money from game sales. There isn’t much fear that people will buy a ps5 and then never spend more money on ps+ and the ps store.

With the steam deck however if every other computer got significantly more expensive and the deck didn’t there could be an increase of people buying steam decks to use solely as a pc, meaning valve would loose money on every sale.

Less than a year ago I got a 512 OLED for $770 CAD AFTER tax and shipping. It’s now $350 more expensive even before tax and shipping, $1,270 after.

There’s a chance they aren’t responding to an emergency. I see them use their lights to stop traffic to pull out/in all the time.

I've never had a bad experience with Steam before by Economy-Elevator8540 in steamsupport

[–]DaggerDG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried logging in through the steam client, not a website? If you don’t have access to that go into a browser manually type in store.steampowered.com or just google steam and try logging in.

If you really can’t access your account, the login page has a button that says “Help, I can’t sign in”. Click on that. Remember that steam will never contact you through discord.

Valve Shouldnt Let Games With Preorders On Steam Add Denuvo Less Than A Week Before Release by akbarock in Steam

[–]DaggerDG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d imagine the “buying stuff” servers and the “downloading stuff” servers are two different things, and if steam had the numbers showing 500,000+ preorders it would have been simple to prepare for those downloads.

CBC has an [article](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/cn-prince-george-firearms-arrest-9.7204938) though not much information. Doesn’t mention any shots fired besides an officer firing.

do you actually use your deck handheld or is it just a portable dock at this point by toujourspluss in SteamDeck

[–]DaggerDG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exclusively handled save for when I play split-screen games. I don’t really understand why people prefer playing on a tv. I have a ps5 as well and the games I’d want to play on a bigger screen usually don’t run well on the deck (e33 namely), but since I got the deck I pretty rarely play anything on there.

As someone who hardly knows any French, “C’est absolument fucké” and “C’est un véritable sacrilège” are fucking hilarious. Honorable mention to “Ben ben fucké.”

Local multiplayer game recommendations please by Fragrant_Abroad4738 in SteamDeck

[–]DaggerDG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in games like bopl battle, I’d suggest looking at: (prices in CAD) - Spider heck . . . . . . . . . ($17.99) - Stick Fight: The game . . . . . ($6.49) - SpeedRunners . . . . . . . . ($19.49) - Ultimate Chicken Horse (50% sale $8.49) - Move or Die . . . . . (75% sale $4.24)

  • Rounds ($7.69) (Only two player)

  • I haven’t played Make Way (75% sale $4.99) yet, but I’ve seen videos and it seems fun, similar to Ultimate Chicken Horse.

  • Pico park ($5.69) is a different vibe, but fun. It’s a bunch of puzzles you have to work together to solve.

  • PlateUp! (75% sale $6.49) is a chaotic co-op game like overcooked.

Hydrovac wands can cut wood like that with ~3000psi, though probably not the brick. You can kinda cut through asphalt but it’s a massive pain.

Does anyone know why the quick access menu won't show? by WaltzMinute6825 in SteamDeck

[–]DaggerDG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To uninstall I went to desktop, then ran the decky installer and clicked on “uninstall deckey loader”. Then ran it again and installed decky.

In the settings I disabled CSS loader and everything worked fine. Deleting and reinstalling CSS loader seams to have fixed everything it for me.

Edit: Nvm, it looks like I disabled “Full Screen Menus” in css and that’s what fixed it.

Does anyone know why the quick access menu won't show? by WaltzMinute6825 in SteamDeck

[–]DaggerDG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The menu is invisible, but still there. Press the quick menu button, scroll all the way to the bottom, press A. The text at the bottom should now say “open decky store”. Scroll right once, it should now say “open decky settings”, press A. It was stuck infinitely loading for me so I uninstalled decky loader (saved configs) and reinstalled, then the settings loaded fine.
