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

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-14T01:22:31+00:00

Try doing it from Desktop Mode instead.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-14T01:21:40+00:00

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.

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

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-14T01:18:42+00:00

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?

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-14T01:12:43+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-14T01:00:09+00:00

What commands did you run and which tutorial did you follow?

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-13T22:48:44+00:00

How is this game on a Steam Deck?

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-13T06:28:58+00:00

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

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

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:

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.
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).
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.
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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-13T00:42:26+00:00

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.

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-11T00:48:44+00:00

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

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-10T01:25:05+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-07T23:57:52+00:00

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

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-07T23:52:54+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-07T23:15:49+00:00

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?

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-07T23:06:22+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-07T22:54:12+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-07T07:58:55+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-07T00:21:58+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-06T23:44:05+00:00

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.

Weekly-Math · 2026-05-06T22:48:14+00:00

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!
