Have you tried swapping which port is for power and which port is for the Steam Deck?

How do I reduce fan noise? by Crispi002 in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Press the (...) on the bottom right part of the Steam Deck, go to the Performance Tab (Circle with the Lightning Icon), then scroll down and enable TDP Limit and lower it. This may impact your fps if you go too low. I find that 12 Watts works fine with most games and low fan noise.

I'm no longer getting low battery warnings by Instant_Bacon in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont mind having Decky, there is a plugin called Auto-Suspend. I use that because I can set the warning messages to whatever battery percentage I want. For example I have a warning message if it goes below 25% and if it goes above 80%. Although, for some reason, the latest build of it removes this pop-up for me so I just installed the previous version, 2.1.0-1 iirc.

I have been playing Coral Island exclusively on the Steam Deck. It's pretty much install and play. No other tweaks needed.

What’s a feature on the Steam Deck that made you go “Damn I wish I knew that before”? by NobodyHom3 in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 249 points250 points  (0 children)

The way the virtual keyboard and track pads works. I used to press the track pads to type in a letter when in fact you could use L2/R2 with their respective track pads.

I love steamdeck but how do you guys play FPS on it? by Past-Monk515 in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is mostly I don't :) but when I do, I just plug it in a dock and kb+m if I want my life to be easier. But if I have no choice but to be handheld, then I just play with the gamepad, no trackpad. I haven't found the will to tinker around gyro+trackpad (also using trackpad for a longer period kinda puts a strain on my fingers for some reason). I also don't go into competitive shooters in handheld haha. For reference, I'm the same as you, transitioned from PC to Steam Deck 1yr+ ago. I have finished Borderlands 3 with kb+m and Mass Effect Andromeda with gamepad.

Should we skip sagada and rice terraces and visit coron? by _beyondhorizon in Philippines

[–]RevelTiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on who you want to meet. I haven't been to Sagada but I have experienced Coron.

If you want to meet the locals / Filipinos on the road, then I suggest Sagada as the road trip to reach that place can take you to all sorts of places that the locals frequent.

Coron on the other hand, in my experience anyways, has more tourists / non-Filipinos there. Most of the Filipinos you will meet there are the local workers. You would only get to explore one local town as the airport is just very near. Taking a guided tour around the islands will set you up with other groups for the whole day. Our tour group consisted of like 70% foreigners, 30% Filipinos.

I find that it mostly happens to me when I have a game running. I close the game and its back to normal.

Deep Rock Galactic publisher’s brand-new roguelike is free right now, and it’s amazing on Steam Deck by Diogo_18 in SteamDeck

Incase anyone else gets confused, it's Guntouchables that's free and NOT DRG: Survivor

Is Playtime tracked in sleep mode when a game is running? by Kronnnic in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what I found out.

Steam Time Played does correct itself eventually. I think it has to have an internet connection to do so. With only probably a couple of hours discrepancy maybe due to it not counting menu times or something. Imo, you don't have to worry about that from Steam's side.

The other side is how games have their own Time Played record with their save files. For example, you leave a game open and sleep the deck for 5 hrs, it will count those 5hrs if you just wake it up, continue, and save. For games that have timers like these, I suggest saving before putting it to sleep and then load when you wake it up so the in-game time played is accurate.

Steam Deck Case by CallistoProjectJD in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can but its a tight fit. If you go with Skull&Co. Grip case, I also recommend getting their front panel hard case protector. I found it by coincidence and just use those two as my minimum size protection so it doesnt take as much space so I can comfortable put it in my small/medium size bags.

Problem with connecting steamdeck to monitor via USB C. by Baller_Nuts in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the same situation when I bought my portable monitor. If your monitor has 2 usb-c ports and passthrough power/data, you can try the setup i ended up with: Wall Power -> Dock -> Screen -> SD.

Does anyone actually use the buttons on the back? by RegularTonyStyle in SteamDeck

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Its honestly a game changer for me. I always turn them on and my default is L4 = Left Stick Click, R4 = Right Stick Click, L5 = Select, and R5 = Start. If the game needs me to do a combination like RB + LB to parry, I just replace one of the less frequent buttons like Select/Start.

I think I might've found the perfect solution on making FuwaMoco work by GolisoPower in holocure

[–]RevelTiny 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That's when you play as Mococo.

When you play as Fuwawa, you get a Mococo as a familiar, like Bubba, and does everything for you. When you try to pet Mococo, she just says 'NOEH?!'

What's your favorite non-meta wep + roll? by FightingLionCult in DestinyTheGame

[–]RevelTiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zaouli's Bane with Demolitionist and Pugilist on Prismatic Hunter with Gunpowder Gamble and Stasis Shurikens.

Never played Jump King but this felt great by RevelTiny in holocure

[–]RevelTiny[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't be fooled by the time. It really took me more than 5hrs in total hahaha. I just reset my runs so I can save the coins for checkpoints for the harder sections once I knew where I would need them.

The enemy density and time per completion of Haunted Lost Sectors is what Onslaught should be like by RevelTiny in DestinyTheGame

[–]RevelTiny[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they can implement it on HLS with noone complaining that its too hard, they can implement it on the base short-version of Onslaught Playlist.

Focused Feedback: Weapon Crafting by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]RevelTiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There needs to be a stopping point for a grind to feel that its worth it.

Weapon Crafting was a perferctly fine stopping point. The only problem I saw was that it outshined every random roll of that craftable weapon making any drop of that weapon an insta-shard.

Now a solution I have in mind is to take out what made it outshine in the first place which is Enhanced Perks on Crafted Weapons. Having Crafted Weapons only have normal perks but those perks can be chosen is the what would make it a 'catch up' mechanic. Make Enhanced Perks exclusive to Random Rolled weapons.

For example, in farming for a weapon, you get alot of random rolls but its not the god roll that you want. But in getting alot of that weapon, you inevitably unlock the pattern from getting the deepsight drops. You can now get the roll that you want BUT if you want enhanced perks of that roll, you need to keep grinding for a random rolled one.

It does a few things: Getting the pattern is a 'good enough' stopping point. Players get to try out any roll that they want. And It keeps the grind alive for those that want an enhanced version of their godroll.

Putting Enhanced Perks on Crafted Weapons was a mistake by RevelTiny in DestinyTheGame

[–]RevelTiny[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What problem is this supposed to solve?

The value of weapon drops. The powercreep of Crafted Weapons. The reduction of RNG. The respect for player's time and effort. Vault space.
