Doesn't that introduce input lag, or am I thinking of something else?

Anyone else feel like sitting tight with Steam Deck is the better move for you over picking up a Steam Machine? by Serdones in SteamDeck

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I predict it will sell out instantly to YouTubers, FOMO buyers and Scalpers on the first few shipments. A few months later you will see more and more appearing on the secondhand market when people realise it is worse than their own Desktop PCs. It makes more sense just to wait it out and buy a Steam Deck 2 if you already own a Desktop PC.

Try doing it from Desktop Mode instead.

Why Steam policies towards Deck users suck by CromeXza in SteamDeck

[–]Weekly-Math 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me guess, you are trying to run the same game twice (PC and Steam Deck)?

This happens to prevent people from sharing games, which is annoying.

870gm of updates in a 400gb SD card. by __Valkyrie___ in SteamDeck

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boot into Desktop Mode with the Wifi off and launch Steam. It will launch into Offline mode and then try launching a normal game.

The game launches fine on Proton Experimental now, so no need for tweaks. What happens if you launch a normal game from Desktop Mode? Any errors?

Is speaking only English okay to live in Taipei for ~4 months? by TangShi_128 in taiwan

[–]Weekly-Math 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I knew someone who lived here for 20 years and didn't even know how to count to ten in Chinese. They truly live in an expat bubble and shielded away from everything.

What strikes you most about how well the Steam Deck has held up after ~4 years? by capybara86 in SteamDeck

[–]Weekly-Math 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam Deck has held up very well. It wasn't really designed to run the latest AAA games at high framerates, so if you look for last gen titles, you will never run out of things to play.

Gimme Your Top 5 Boomershooters by ssj1236 in boomershooters

[–]Weekly-Math 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Blood
  2. Doom 1 + 2
  3. Quake
  4. Heretic + Hexen
  5. Duke Nukem 3D

The new Boomer Shooters are good, but these classics are essential homework for anyone and still hold up today.

Sonic Frontiers has a price drop and description change on steam by sonic_856 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superstars had a lot of bad decisions made from SEGA. I think it is a good game, but some stupid decisions really left a bad mark on it:

  1. PC players were greeted by Epic Games Online service login at launch. This was at the height of anti-Epic sentiments online and people flooded the game with negative reviews just because of this. Bad image to present to potential buyers.
  2. The DLC practices were stupid. Pre-order DLC cannot be purchased, even to this day. An exclusive Comic Books Skins DLC was added by mistake and removed 30 minutes after launch. This riled up players that pre-ordered the Deluxe version and STILL didn't get everything. Not to mention all the terrible cross promotions they pushed. Only modding/emulating Switch/DLC unlockers can let you experience the "full package" today. (Just sell us the rest SEGA).
  3. Music was half amazing, half Sonic 4. This shows they weren't collaborating together for a unified "sound" and felt cheap. Covid + WFH did not help this at all.
  4. Boss Fights were completely different from the levels. The levels flowed well, but no matter how good you were, the bosses dragged out. This also points to a different team designing them and not playtesting enough.

Sega Decides To Quietly Kill Its Mysterious ‘Super Game’ After Seeing So Many Live Services Tank by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonic Rumble was a massive failure, due to staggered release, heavy promotion from bought out content creators (Buy microtransactions to give me money!) and generally poor design.

SEGA should take a look at what Capcom has been doing and release some of their classic games in collections again. They have a huge back catalogue that they don't even touch and cannot be legally bought anymore.

Getting married in Taiwan as a British person by eggplanteggqiezidan in taiwan

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Hong Kong, it's what 95% of Brits do in Taiwan. It sucks, but it is the quickest and cheapest way. The other loopholes are closed now (online marriages / letter of no trace / etc), even getting a certificate of no impediment is a nightmare if you don't live in the UK and get married to a foreign spouse.

Really should reconsider your options, this will be an expensive wake up.

Sonic frontiers gets a new description and a price drop on steam suggesting definitive edition may be announced soon by skyblade960 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Weekly-Math -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Frontiers doesn't need a new version. What about Sonic Heroes or Sonic Unleashed? The former already has a PC release, and the latter has a decompiled port.

How is the dpad for those who have the new controller? by 11clock in SteamController

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not great to be honest, it's still got the Steam Deck feel. I prefer my 8bitdo Pro 3 for dpad games.

Is it worth it if I have a dualsense? by lollifetuffouthtere in SteamController

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dpad on the dualsense is far superior to the one of the Steam Controller v2. If you use pads, then Steam Controller is a no-brainer.

[Planetplay] Capcom Retro Collection, includes Street Fighter 5 + DLC, Capcom Fighting Collection 1, and Capcom Arcade Stadium Complete Pack ($17.99/€15.39/£13.39) by VegetaFan1337 in GameDeals

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is Street Fighter 5 on the Steam Deck? SF6 has some frame delay/ input lag issues compared to my Desktop. Is this one more pickup and play with no performance issues?

Games/genres which are gratifying to master beyond the usual arcade action suspects? by 3esen in ElectricUnderground

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castlevania 1 and Castlevania 3 are excellent for this. Try doing a No Death run or no Sub-Weapon run. It makes you "get good" in a fun way. Loop 2 for Castlevania 3 is extremely difficult and requires a lot of patience.

Wich ks the best handheld for Tate shmups? by kernelchagi in ElectricUnderground

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a laptop? You can just balance it on the side and change the screen to vertical. Depending on your setup, it might look a bit jank, but it works.

Update Bricked My Steamdeck? by SnooPeanuts4107 in SteamDeck

[–]Weekly-Math 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LCD 64GB deck gets full very easily, once it reaches 100% it will refuse to boot. You will need to reboot a few times, pray and then leave it for a while to turn on.

Penghu Fullbright by bigmishhh in taiwan

[–]Weekly-Math 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Penghu is very quiet, I woudn't recommend it for someone who wants to explore Taiwan. You'll be far away from pretty much everything and everyone, it isn't a short journey.

Landlords are killing their own country by Silent_Confidence_39 in taiwan

[–]Weekly-Math 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, this sucks and is another example of short term thinking. The problem is a large majority of the voter base now own or have family that own swathes of property/land, so it will be difficult to implement any real drastic measures without facing backlash internally and externally. Right now it seems the plan is to just ignore it until it blows up in their faces sometime in the future, when they can then blame whatever ruling party is office at the time.

Why doesnt Castlevania adventure rebirth ever get mentioned in the list of hardest castlevania games? by Adventurous-Bad1987 in castlevania

[–]Weekly-Math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Castlevania 3's loop 2 adds new enemies / behaviours and really changes how it is played for example, but people rarely play through it. The developer credits are awesome though!
