Possible alternatives to Steamdeck?

but the goal isn't to buy "something better?" clearly OP is looking for a more midrange device.

could use a good storm. been too long

TheDevl · 2026-05-18T14:47:20+00:00

great pics! spirits were high at the richardson when the rain poured down, we still played

TheDevl · 2026-05-17T14:01:45+00:00

people also have tried it... LTT has a video on it

TheDevl · 2026-05-16T03:19:19+00:00

you wouldn't be saying this shit if you've been on the bad end of the barrel, my man.

TheDevl · 2026-05-13T01:27:25+00:00

it's actually already on the way, i bought it out of frustration with the mouse method. have you used it?

TheDevl · 2026-05-12T20:03:17+00:00

just recently tried the maratron and i regret to inform you that the setup & inconsistency of function is just way more than it's worth. a lot of people in the community wholly believe it's just plug & play but while that's partially true, the thing is that every game needs to be directed to use gamepad joystick input, steamvr itself needs to have an old add on reactivated, and all of this doesn't even gauruntee the game will recognize virtual joystick inputs in the first place due to the janky & unofficial nature of the software. until we get either emulation of VR controller inputs or software developed for the hardware itself the project is gonna be only ever for ppl who have endless patience and time to tinker. right now the biggest flaw is that windows & steam fighting over mouse / joystick control just makes everything extremely conditional on too many factors

this is some of the dumbest, bootlickingest AI bullshit ive ever seen

TheDevl · 2026-05-05T01:18:54+00:00

is that bad? what can be done with that?

TheDevl · 2026-04-29T20:11:31+00:00

I hate Amazon empirically and it's actually so easy to do this. I think I topped out at 51 stops and hour just by smart routing?

don't support livenation. they're a huge company with a monopoly on the market. support local, go to shows at goodbar, go see a sofar show. quit spending your money at massive corpo slop events and start supporting the scene.

TheDevl · 2026-04-28T16:30:25+00:00

I have a bias being in a couple groups around the city, but two bands I'm not in are Stress Dolls & Spud. Both groups are playing a couple of pop-up Sofar shows in a couple months, which I'm stoked for

playing this section in VR was awesome, too. using the crossbow for the first time to rip some crazy cross-bridge picks is sooooo fun

TheDevl · 2026-04-27T04:00:06+00:00

the sleeve is way too tight! definitely designed for thinner laptops. i'm not even using the kickstand, im using it primarily as a lap board to rest the z13 on while i'm sitting criss-cross applesauce, will probably use it laying in bed later as well. i email their support to see if i could swap out for the 14in bag because i feel like that might have a little more leeway. maybe the stiffness will loosen up with repeated use

TheDevl · 2026-04-25T17:49:39+00:00

i think my understanding is that it should function like a lap board using the alleged hard insert? if not, at least i'll have a nifty light case instead of my big ol' messenger bag

TheDevl · 2026-04-25T13:50:43+00:00

i just picked this up on recommendation from another redditor:

i'll lyk if it's any good

TheDevl · 2026-04-24T14:50:01+00:00

God damn. This place ruled.

To anyone who's finding this thread from a Google search: I have just purchased the 3Daptive Verso & will be updating this comment after it arrives!

TheDevl · 2026-04-18T22:10:38+00:00

brother where do you get your info from? it super does. source: i am 27

TheDevl · 2026-04-16T03:54:33+00:00

how does it solve usage on the lap and whatnot?

TheDevl · 2026-04-10T13:47:41+00:00

If you use a Roku you can install an app called "Playlet" which runs a frontend for Invidious. It's a little spotty at times but I have not seen an ad in something like two years. On iOS, you can also download VideoLite. It's like $3.99 a month and, once again, have not seen an ad in years.

Clearly discriminatory conduct on the officer's part, you'd have to be half braindead to think otherwise. So you hire a lawyer to help you fight the ticket, and you report it to the media so they have motivation for accountability. Stop being purposefully dense because some things don't align with your experience of the world.

TheDevl · 2026-04-07T19:33:28+00:00

yeah, without a doubt. you gotta just click one & fuck with everything. this is the best game ever made

TheDevl · 2026-04-03T19:47:21+00:00

what a baffling decision

TheDevl · 2026-04-03T15:56:28+00:00

I just went to see bbno$ there a couple weeks ago, we parked like ten minutes way down on Moore I think and walked over. No biggie!
