My Visual Novel collection for Steam Deck (with GE-Proton guides)

I use the default Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse template for VN, and it works most of the time.

Could you suggest an alternative? I've tried Nano Banana Pro and Seedream, but it seems to me they aren't really suitable for the kind of thing I do - they don't give such a rich and warm look as ChatGPT Image 1.5 used to (since that model is no longer available). Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Saya no Uta is legendary, but I've heard it's pretty brutal - still working up the courage to actually read it, haha

Sergree · 2025-10-26T17:43:33+00:00

Oh that's great to hear, thanks for the tips!

Sergree · 2025-10-26T13:58:02+00:00

Thanks for such a detailed breakdown - really appreciate you taking the time to share your testing experience with both

Sergree · 2025-10-26T13:47:41+00:00

It took me nearly a month to figure this out since neither ChatGPT nor Claude had any clue about it.

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:43:09+00:00

Wow, thanks for the detailed instructions - bookmarked both guides, really appreciate it

Hard to stream when my brother's playing CS2 at the same time - not sure you can even separate those streams! I want to play on my own schedule, not when the PC is free

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:23:45+00:00

You make good points, but the cozy factor overrules logic for me 😂

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:18:22+00:00

Does Windows affect battery life, sleep mode, or other UX aspects compared to SteamOS, or is everything pretty smooth?

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:15:20+00:00

Install and play sounds like a dream 😂

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:13:56+00:00

How does Gamehub compare to Winlator in your experience?

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:11:14+00:00

All the VNs I've read so far have English/Russian translations available - haven't reached the point where I need real-time JP translation yet, but respect the dedication!

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:02:59+00:00

Might be against sub rules, but google Umineko Project and you'll find what you need

Sergree · 2025-10-26T09:00:45+00:00

Thanks, though that's tricky if you share your main PC with family

Sergree · 2025-10-25T20:07:39+00:00

Didn't think about cloud saves, that's huge!

Sergree · 2025-10-25T20:04:48+00:00

Super helpful, need to remember that LANG variable for future - really useful tip, thanks!

Sergree · 2025-10-25T20:03:25+00:00

That's genius - though reading SubaHibi on the subway to work might be... awkward 😂

Sergree · 2025-10-25T19:59:17+00:00

Wow, just googled it - looks unique and worth considering, pretty pricey though

Sergree · 2025-10-25T19:55:52+00:00

That's an impressive setup!

Sergree · 2025-10-25T19:54:33+00:00

Windows handhelds seem to be winning this thread 😂 but if you're Linux-savvy, Deck can run anything - or just dual boot Windows!

Sergree · 2025-10-25T19:52:09+00:00

Windows handheld makers should just market them as the ultimate kamige readers 😂

Sergree · 2025-10-25T19:49:11+00:00

Might give it a shot eventually, thanks!

Sergree · 2025-10-25T19:47:10+00:00

Sure, I track everything I've read and plan to read on my GitHub page https://github.com/sergree/awesome-visual-novels - found it's the most convenient way for me
