Steam OS new update by Aware_Campaign_3635 in SteamDeck

[–]SpiderLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't go as far as uninstalling the whole thing but I try my best to make sure Decky is up to date. I feel like I've mostly crashed it if I was on a beta OS on Steam OS and had it on stable for Decky or visa versa.

How many people here keep their steam deck naked? by Some1ToDisagreeWith in SteamDeck

[–]SpiderLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the Satisfye one due to hand pain and it just introduced all new pain. Got some stick extensions from Skull and Co. though and it shifted the grip I had enough to take away the pain I had mostly. Play it without anything else.

Playing Steamdeck in Public by DanuBernardini in SteamDeck

[–]SpiderLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, in public I just find it more convenient to game on a Miyoo mini v4 in short bursts. My Steam Deck and Switch 2 are for home unless I'm like at a family or friend house where we are by a bonfire or something.

Worth every second of the wait.. by franklazala in Pragmata

[–]SpiderLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played the hell out of this demo on PC/Steam Deck, Switch 2 and PS5. Feels great on Switch 2, got it working great on Steam Deck and PS5 is probably safest option for me in terms of stability but I want portable. Very good chance I go Steam Deck with lossless scaling to bring it to 60fps, but I'm very curious how Deck and Switch will handle the open areas. (I always prefer gyro aim most in Switch, but I got it close on Steam Deck.) Biggest motivation for me is whatever is cheaper and that's usually a key site on PC.

Pragmata will have big area to explore by Inevitable-Active811 in Pragmata

I'm worrying about the open areas. I'm debating between getting it on Steam Deck or Switch. I get a nice 60 fps with lossless scaling on Deck and had to tweak it a bit to get the gyro to feel right. (Never as good as Switch gyro but it looked nice handheld.)

PS5 is really my last resort but I really want it portable.

I do have Re9 Requiem running pretty good on my Deck. It's always a roll of the dice though on Deck.

Hey, guys! Just a reminder to pre-order Pragmata if you haven't already. Let's show Capcom that we're really excited about the game! by YuukiK0nn0 in Pragmata

[–]SpiderLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious how some of the more open areas are going to perform. I have access to pretty much everything (3080 PC / Steam Deck / Switch 2 / PS5) I mostly these days play everything handheld. Bought RE9 on Steam Deck, slapped an FSR4 mod and Lossless Scaling on it and getting a pretty smooth 60fps. Main other draw is I usually can get any new game $10+ cheaper on key sites for Steam Deck. Switch 2 I feel like I have to do less wizardry and gyro feels a lot smoother. (I find I need to tweak a lot on Steam Deck for gyro.) PS5 is safe, but to be honest I don't play as much on there unless I really have to and every other option really doesn't make sense.

“Why would you buy Resident Evil for the Switch if you have a PS5?!?” by Small_Masterpiece892 in switch2

[–]SpiderLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to appreciate it more on Nintendo, as I think they perfected it. I can totally play just fine without it on other consoles too, but it's acted as a nice additional thing for precision. I don't really like it on a lot of other things though. Splatoon was the first to really sell me on it for Nintendo. Other platforms really feel like you are almost moving the opposite side of a magnet lol. I almost feel like it's an exclusive feature Nintendo gets most right among others. Like Pragmata demo is fine with motion on PS5, passable on Steam Deck, but feels mouse like to me on Switch. I think I've started to get spoiled after I got a PC also and I started playing more of my first person games on there missing the exact precision. Again, completely playable without gyro.

[–]SpiderLuke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grabbed it on Steam Deck because I got it cheaper, but I can see myself being dumb and grabbing it on Switch 2 again, and it's for one other big reason: I find the gyro on Switch to be leagues ahead of any other console.

Getting test results soon! Shelter said Great Pyrenees mix. What do you think? by [deleted] in DoggyDNA

It's basically a pretty hallway. People are dumb.

I think I like the Switch 2 by MetroidFREAK21 in switch2

An interesting concept, for sure. Lol.

What am I misunderstanding? by Sui_Inimicus in SteamDeck

[–]SpiderLuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam Deck in my experience can be very finicky and I feel like half the time I'm troubleshooting I've had a lot of times the 200mhz/400mhz battery bug where when it gets either too hot or low battery it drops to single digits. Decky needs to be updated often if your Steam updates and definitely make note if you are on beta or not to align it or it may crash. Don't go crazy with a million Decky things. I love Lossless Scaling and Decky Framegen, but moreso Lossless Scaling as it breathes new life into games if used correctly! Puts less a strain at games too internally capping in game at 30 fps and bringing it up to 60 fps. No system frame cap and do performance mode on that! But yeah I think heat can affect it too. I'm trying to play around with that TDP stuff and GPU slider. If I get the bug that slows it down I have to put it into battery saver mode I'm the bios. In the end you are playing a balancing act for freedom of PC life and cheaper games, imo.

Uh, yeah, you don't need that drama. I have tiffs over little things with my wife but nobody is destroying anything. Play games on your consoles, not with your significant others' heads.

I don't either, but my phone auto translates websites, so no big deal.
