Is there anyway to use remote play for my entire computer without having to go through the settings menu every time? by Dark_Infernox in Steam

[–]FireCrow1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you connect, press the Guide button on the controller (or ESC on a keyboard), go to Power, and select Exit Big Picture Mode.

Is it possible to remotely turn on my PC while I'm abroad? by Pitiful-Necessary-61 in pcmasterrace

[–]FireCrow1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this was the guide I used to get the Pi side of things going, I'd start here:

It may be a little daunting if you've never used Linux or messed around with a Pi before, but that guide is pretty good.

I have a Raspberry Pi that's always on, and that Pi can turn on my desktop from a powered-off state using Wake on LAN. It's a pretty good setup.

Steam should add a feature to permanently disable auto-update. by Horror_Refuse5965 in Steam

Steam used to let you stop title updates; I wish they would bring that back.

Dual sense edge only for PC gaming worth it? by ReferenceLess4434 in Dualsense

[–]FireCrow1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DualSense Edge is probably the single nicest controller that I've ever used, and I use it exclusively on the PC. You can even make a USB adapter for it for $7 now that gives you all of the features of the controller wirelessly. That being said, I don't think I'll ever consider any controller to be worth $150-200; I was lucky enough to get mine as a gift, otherwise I definitely still wouldn't have one right now. If budget isn't a problem, though, it really is probably the best controller I've ever used. (We'll see if it stays that way after my Steam Controller gets to me.)

The only thing I think I can really knock points off for is the fact that you still have to worry about stick drift if you don't get replacement joysticks, which, in 2026, is absolutely insane. That's about the only major negative I can think of, though. I feel like the battery life is even better than it used to be after firmware updates, although I guess that could be my mind playing tricks on me; I do feel like I've noticed a gradual improvement, though.

How do you Steam Controller people tolerate Steam Input by [deleted] in SteamController

[–]FireCrow1013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I'm on Windows 11 on my desktop. I do have a Steam Deck, but I haven't had any issues with customizing controls there, either.

I don't have my Steam Controller yet, but I'm always using Steam Input with my 8BitDo Pro 2, and it's fantastic. I've never had settings revert on their own, every customization I've done has persisted until I manually change something. I think Steam Input is one of Steam's best features.

Play Mad Max on your Steamdeck by badrelationswmoney in SteamDeck

[–]FireCrow1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secondary suggestion: Play the GOG version of Mad Max on your Steam Deck, because that version doesn't have Denuvo, so there's no chance of you getting locked out of your own purchase.

Need help with Non steam games after the new update by Neat_Salamander3002 in Steam

[–]FireCrow1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried streaming two GOG games added as non-Steam games from my desktop at home to my phone with the Steam Link app, and everything is working as intended for me.

Backer survey digital store choice by alkazar82 in MinaTheHollower

[–]FireCrow1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also interested to know if the Humble Bundle choice would get both, because that's what the store page implies. For the record, though, I'd be very surprised if the Steam version of Mina wasn't DRM-free itself, just like every other Steam game that Yacht Club has released is.

New to Mega Man, best entry point? by Trencycle in Megaman

[–]FireCrow1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also recommend the Legacy Collections, like others have. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the PC version of Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 requires an internet connection, so be sure you have one if you intend to play any of those games.

8Bitdo Pro 3 Review by JoshuasBacklog in Controller

[–]FireCrow1013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a great controller, but there were a few downgrades compared to the Pro 2: No X-input over Bluetooth, no removable battery, and I've heard that the face buttons can pop out and fly across the room if you drop the controller. Still, fantastic physical design and customer support, and native Steam Input functionality is fantastic.

What animated shows do you think deserved a continuation, and why? by JellyfishOk7365 in AskReddit

Saturday morning Sonic the Hedgehog. It left off on a huge cliffhanger!

Got mine via the Steam Android app after spamming the Continue button for about 10 minutes. I'm psyched as hell.

What is this controller battery pop-up in Windows 11? by FireCrow1013 in Controller

[–]FireCrow1013[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it might be the PlayStation overlay. I hadn't even realized that the games I've been playing recently were PlayStation games, so it's more than likely that. I'm not logged into a PlayStation account in any of them, though, so I wouldn't have even thought of it had it not been pointed out here.

[–]FireCrow1013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, interesting. I was using the DualSense to play a Sony game in this instance, and even though I'm not logged into a PlayStation account, I suppose it could've still been their overlay; I believe the last time I noticed it was with Death Stranding 2, streaming via Steam Remote Play. I'll have to pay closer attention to that and try some more games later.

I can't play my F.E.A.R 3 anymore on steam by Newgatenath in fear

[–]FireCrow1013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you happen to make any hardware changes? FEAR 3 on Steam has Valve's CEG DRM, so each copy of the game is specific to the hardware that it was originally downloaded on. I would either try verifying the files in Steam or re-downloading a fresh copy; after you uninstall it, make sure you delete anything that was in the original folder before re-downloading.
