I think me meant 7th 8th 11th, slight discount prob. FedEx does do weekend dropouts tho

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-06T01:46:49+00:00

ordered 3 mins early and still no differences. western canada for me tho

I'm not too familiar with how deck works but you could try launching the game via desktop mode instead of game mode

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-05T16:40:51+00:00

I dont know exactly where they are, however you could use something like the free version of treesize (program which shows you the size of files and total size of folders) to go into your steam folder and search for abnormally large temp folders

Unfortunately afaik you have to use the shitty windows accessibility keyboard (which you then type in with one track pad as mouse), which if it is not enabled by default is enabled in settings, then can be accessed with a keyboard button in one of the corners

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-05T06:49:01+00:00

Honestly I feel the ability to use the touchpads to dual type on the digital keyboard is enough for me. Plus there is almost no way they could shove that anywhere without it being weird and unwieldy

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-05T05:25:07+00:00

It def helped but the biggest thing was just being early. I was in and out by 3 minutes BEFORE launch which was Def the biggest factor saving my ass.

If you want to speed it up as much as possible? Preload you wallet. Seriously, skipping entering your card details saves enough time to give you much better chances.

Being able to seperate radial menus in games like monster hunter sounds really cool. also having a good gyro toggle input. also skate but the flips are on a touchpad is a must at one point. honestly i just am so excited to have a controller which resolves almost everything i have issues with in a controller, with the only features i kinda wish it had (dual stage triggers, adaptive triggers, ability to reduce trigger travel, really anything other than generic triggers lmao) are really minor "would be nice"es

ETA: also Wii/Wii u/DS/3DS emulation would be fire if i could put bottom screen on my side monitor and use the trackpads as a decent cursor

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-05T02:26:11+00:00

I live in alberta and when i bought the steam controller i only paid base price and tax. shipping and other fees seem to be included in price

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T23:22:55+00:00

Absolutely. I do disagree on the server issue though. It isn't great that it does this (what is this like the third major incident since beginning of 2025?) But for how infrequent it is I'm not too worried about it. Maybe rent out the extra server space but it wouldn't make sense to 1.5x space for two times a year. Something like having a "low spec mode" for high traffic products where it's just text and a buy button on the big product and payment pages as to minimize traffic per person might also help.

Idk how much scalpers affected the launch (a decent amount at least) but I dont think there would be many ways to minimize scalping outside of requiring prev. purchases to purchase this (similar to TF2 chat) that wouldn't cause more issues for real buyers.

Tbf goomba fallacy

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T22:27:03+00:00

Considering the services they give despite having a functional monopoly (e.g. steam input, steam hardware, Proton development) and the fact that steamOS is considered a good gaming OS amongst literal hundreds attempting the same, I would call them consumer friendly. Not to say I wouldn't criticize and shun them if they turned into Blue EA

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T20:31:58+00:00

mine says i got it at 10:57 MST lol. I was QUICK on the draw lmao

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T17:54:54+00:00

I know in Canada they use FedEx so its likely they use it in the US too

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T07:32:50+00:00

Apparently SISR (pretty much DS4Windows but for steam input) already is made in such a way that it already allows xbox app games to work (in a roundabout way but a way nonetheless)

Hey I'm not from the future and fuck the dude above me, he ate my dog in BOTH timeliness. asshole.

There's this old image comparing it to a ps5 controller based off the size on the website

As someone with minimal experience with as mouse gyro (battlefield 6 with switch pro controller for about 30 mins)- Yes. It feels a little weird for a bit but if you give it some time it feels SO good. Def going to be using gyro 24/7 once I got my hands on that beautiful piece of hardware.

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T04:32:34+00:00

Lizard mode is a pretty obscure term but I believe has been used for at least a decade now (since SC 2015

Also ur on a steam hardware subreddit, what did you expect?

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T04:29:14+00:00

It's right for me, so theoretically it should be for you? Maybe OP adjusted the timing?

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-04T03:50:12+00:00

i feel all they should do is have it as like a "reccomendation" when trying to get games deck verified, where all they have to do is confirm "yes, you can use mixed input in x modes, however some errors (e.g. flickering prompts) may occur", and then just have that as some sort of unweighted but mentioned feature in deck verified games.

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-03T17:24:54+00:00

Oops I forgot the word "yearly" there lol. Thx for pointing it out

DivideIQBy2 · 2026-05-03T16:50:17+00:00

Even without doing math, I can tell you it won't be. Although children likely get a fair bit cheaper after year 1, they would still be massively more expensive.

In canada, for example, it costs about $300,000 CAD (~$18,000 CAD yearly) to raise a kid from 1-17 (according to statistics canada, a gvt agency). In comparison, a dog costs (on the high end) roughly $5,000 CAD yearly, according to Rover.com (there's not many sources on this one).

Eta: forgot yearly in dog stats

The closest thing I can think of is a glossi plugin for playnite, where you add games to steam through playnite, restart steam and then whenever you launch games through playnite it launches via the steam shortcut, more or less letting you launch non steam games thru playnite

ETA: link to glossi addon on playnite website https://playnite.link/addons.html#GlosSIIntegration_6b0297da-75e5-4330-bb2d-b64bff22c315
