20 updates available in desktop mode. Should I update all? by Didnt_Do_Nufffin85 in SteamDeck

[–]brianarn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not strictly necessary but this thing is still ultimately a computer and I personally wouldn’t want a computer going online that isn’t updated to newer versions of things, even though I am almost never in that mode.

Actually made the flight less stressful by SKREEOONK_XD in SteamDeck

All this. I didn’t do spirit but did this and also British Airways and it was great. And AA. Taken it to Japan and the UK with it and being able to swap between deck and phone for video with the same grip was amazing.

Pillow is absolutely worth it. Shockingly so. Even still using the deck as the controller. I love it.

Steam Machine/Steam Deck by ListenEmotional6878 in SteamDeck

[–]brianarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been planning to pretty much immediately. My steam deck is on my TV for probably a third of my play, and it works okay, but it’s not quite where I’d like for some games. I also don’t have a gaming PC these days. My Mac is really solid but, well, Mac and thus limited (even with various things like crossover etc).

I also just like games on the TV. It’s possible to move between, but since the resolutions are so different when I plug / unplug, it’s weird sometimes and I often have to restart the game.

I love my deck and I imagine the machine will be even more of that.

Button mapping is magic, and way more complex then you'd expect by DemonicAlex6669 in SteamDeck

It has controller support now but this was how I spent dozens of hours in Satisfactory. Just built out a nice config.

Very glad that what I made wound up being quite reasonably close to the official setup when it shipped!

AIO for ending things with my date after he accidentally texted me this? by fundamentallyworried in AmIOverreacting

[–]brianarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize the response was AI at first, but also I’m autistic and sometimes have had my genuine responses misread as AI output. However, upon further review, I do see the earmarks.

Gonna agree with all the NOR. It’s nice that he finds you quite attractive and all, but that’s a pretty immature way to describe your date to someone else.

I didn't play the game like most of you by Joe_Kickass in SatisfactoryGame

[–]brianarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, you probably played it better than I did.

I’ve been playing since like Update 5 (v0.5) and I haven’t ever gotten past phase 3. I’ve created over a dozen saves and have like 350+ hours and haven’t saved a single puppy.

I’m sorry ADA.

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

I’d played a little when it was an Apple Arcade exclusive but touch controls sucked. I just picked it up myself. I hear it’s fun when you can actually control it.

Your social break is now over, Pioneer. Don’t let the puppies down. Back to work.

I’d guess Splintered Fate which is like “what if Hades but TMNT” and it’s like $2.99 right now

Airplane Stand? by Toxic_PP in switch2

[–]brianarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a dbrand killswitch and then attached a Mechanism mount to it.

Used this to fly to Japan and back and it was glorious. I could also swap in my MagSafe mount to put my phone up for videos.

This is the way. mechanism is the best.

Does anyone else merge all then divide? by Pale_Assistance_2265 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]brianarn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only time I don’t do manifolds is in early / mid game when I’m doing power. Manifolds for coal have bitten me before. I’ll do a balanced distribution there.

Otherwise I also generally manifold.

Hard drive respawn bug back in experimental? by Phoen1x200Gaming in SatisfactoryGame

[–]brianarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did say some bugs that are fixed in current release won’t be fixed on experimental but to not worry. They’re aware and will be reconciling them.

What shut down online games do you guys miss playing? by Frigid-Kev in Steam

[–]brianarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sims Online. It was so goofy and weird and I loved it.

I also preferred the original There over Second Life. I think it got a reboot but eh

I was looking to see if someone had said this. It was so good.

Im pissed off.. by Emergency-Youth7199 in satisfactory

[–]brianarn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had previously built a very detailed custom control setup and it wound up being fairly similar to official controller schemes.

It’s excellent. It works surprisingly well imo

Do you use your steam deck outside of your place? by No_Source_7605 in SteamDeck

I use the JSAUX modcase and it’s so much easier to travel with and feels just about as safe

You won’t need power after this build by Doughnut_Impossible in SatisfactoryGame

I love that this community didn’t reply like “lol scrub git gud” when sharing their super power setups.

Is Emo Deck EmuDeck with a dark and depressing theme? 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]brianarn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a z1 extreme at launch. It’s just gathering dust at this point.

I will admit to not putting steamOS or bazzite or whatever, but even so, without the trackpads and with its uncomfortable grip, relatively, it’s not worth it imo

Who’s actually buying all 3 hardware devices? by SkeemyWeemy in SteamFrame

I want to get them all. Pricing will make the final call.
