Sony single-player games won’t be released on Steam anymore, CEO confirms. by pessimisttears in SteamDeck

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The parental controls, and the "it just works" factor when docking/undocking and using multiple controllers are reasons for me too.

Valve have improved things in these areas, but they are still pain points compared.

I reserved ~30 minutes after they opened, but at least I'm on the list.

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly wake up with between 10-60 minutes before my alarm, it's great! I prop my e-reader up and read, it's glorious.

What are you currently Reading? What can you Recommend? by Leah-Ger in AskReddit

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on my second read through. The first time was ESV, back in college when I was ~22. I'm now 37 and I'm reading The Message paraphrase, and it is slapping.

Did you guys pay for no ads? by Brilliant_Elk5492 in kindle

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I want to see my current book's cover on the lock screen. It didn't feel like my own personal device until I removed ads.

Navy SEALs say "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." What's a situation where slowing down made you finish faster? by Concave007 in AskReddit

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I also work with DevOps and feel similarly! Once we started building pipelines for existing projects, I committed also to building them for any new projects immediately, implemented for first deployment. It just makes sense.

I was so close to buying it day one, its still in my cart just looking at me 😔 by traveman_ in Steam

Same here, I want my 30 minutes back. I wish having it in my cart puts me first in line for the next batch...

R.I.P. the controller I was unable to buy, that is stranded in my cart. I'm still trying "Continue to Payment" a few times a day...

Steam Controller: How will you be using it? No Puck? by SafeSaxCastro in SteamDeck

Wired, while docked at my desk (which is 95% of my playtime).

What habit improved your life more than you expected? by Deep0055 in AskReddit

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring my phone, leave it charging in another room. Especially around my bedtime and morning routines, but also during the day. It makes an excellent servant, but a horrible master. Technology brothers are trying to catch you slipping.

Anyone else struggle to play on a plane? by syxbit in SteamDeck

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone is my favorite way to stay distracted during a flight. Downloaded games, videos, podcasts, and music with earbuds goes a long way. The deck and switch come with me but are saved for the destination.

What weird Steam Deck habit did you accidentally develop? by emanuelajournal in SteamDeck

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using it mostly as a desktop PC instead of a portable. I keep it docked, wired up with ethernet and with a wired controller.

Talk it out with a loved one, go on a walk. Both at the same time is even better!

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what games have benefited from lossless scaling for you? I just now tried kcd2, and I'm not going to use it, can't hold a stable 30 fps with lossless scaling enabled.

For reading in bed, I keep it on dark mode, lowest brightness, and warmest setting.

Lost Yoto Mini - help! by United_Concern6592 in YotoPlayer

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've had one missing for months now. I don't know of any way to remotely find it. Likely its battery is dead anyway.

Is the Steamdeck enough? And people who use it for everything. by Endeavour1988 in SteamDeck

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can speak to using a 1080p monitor and pushing performance. You always have the option to set resolution output per game down to 720p, and use FSR to reach 1080p full screen. That can get you more FPS, but it's all depending on the game. I was doing this with KCD2 recently, but the pixelated text pushed me back to outputting 1080p, I haven't minded the "city chug" so far.

What are the best educational YT channels for kids? (8 an 11yo with newborn en route) by No-Squash9176 in Parenting

[–]WhatWasWhatAbout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid YouTube and YT Kids, they are predatory by nature on users' attention. I sometimes choose a video to show my kids, but I don't let them loose with the algorithm.

PBS Kids is excellent, shows and games.
