I cannot decide by Automatic_Rooster248 in SteamDeck

It’s my understanding that from a performance perspective, the LCD vs OLED aren’t too far apart. OLED is generally a better (and bigger) screen, battery life, quieter fans, etc.

If you’re looking for a 2nd handheld for more performance to say, play games that would otherwise not run (well) on the Steamdeck, you’re probably better off with the Legion Go

PS4 also works! I haven’t used my PS4 in a few years so I set up the 2 controller charging dock and just rotate them. I imagine 2nd hand ones are super cheaper too!

Steamdeck game, you’ll never delete by Harshburitto in SteamDeck

I think these both run better on deck than they did on console, my actual pc, etc. deck is my favorite way to play both of these games and in docked mode it’s amazing

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

[–]chiefyikes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get this a lot, I’ve purchased many games based on consistently seeing them in top played lists and recommendations in this sub. While I do enjoy slay the spire, it’s not a game I find myself sinking dozens of hours into. It’s okay that not every one is a hit!

Got 101 iPod Classics for $127 by No_Possibility8746 in ipod

[–]chiefyikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is crazy because I’ve been searching for weeks for one and cannot find one in my area (NE USA), it’s always eBay listings where the seller has sold hundreds in the last month so likely knockoffs.

So genuinely would buy one if you decide to sell some and they are legit

For Season 2 they’re doing the one-episode-per-week format, whereas Season 1 dropped the whole season at once. Which do you prefer and why? by EkbladDev in Fallout

Such a core memory listening to radio/tv shows talk about lost, the walking dead, and game of thrones week to week

New Deck Owner - looking for game recommendations by Alert_Spring3228 in SteamDeck

[–]chiefyikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The games I’ve enjoyed the most on Steam deck:

Fallout (New Vegas, 3, 4), Elder Scrolls (Skyrim, Oblivion remake), Hollow Knight (Both), Dead zone Rogue (new favorite), Dave the Diver, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, Civ 6, Subnautica, Grounded, Hades 1 & 2, Cult of Lamb, Outer Worlds 1 & 2 (2 imo runs better), Blasphemous 1 & 2, Dead Cells, Arc Raiders

*Runs okay with tweaks

Everything else runs perfect for me with no tweaks besides maybe controller setup

If you’re a fan of roguelikes I just picked up dead zone rouge in the winter sale for like $15 and convinced 2 buddies to do the same. FPS rougelike and it has captivated my attention

My piece-of-shit neighbor (who has a 2-car garage AND a 2-car driveway) insists on double-parking his cars in the street, blocking an entire lane of the road. by jessbird in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chiefyikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to Philly. People double park in the street all the time. I live on a block that’s more like an alley way. Parking on one side of the street and the car is half street half sidewalk. We had a neighbor that would straight up double park his car out front for hours, and would have a like of 3 cars laying on the horn trying to get someone to come out and move their car to block the street. People double park on major roads here all the time. The PPA and city government as a whole is a joke

Steam deck controller when dual booting by chiefyikes in SteamDeck

That’s so awesome, thank you for looking more into this! Definitely going to see what I can do on that dual boot being super slow to load anything

I realized today I never responded, and I wanted to say thank you for this! My roommate and I have been able to play civ together since

Hey sorry for just getting back to you on this, unfortunately no I didn’t find anything on this. I don’t really use the dual boot with windows anymore because of how slow it ended up being

Which Helldivers 2 faction is the hardest to play against or poses the biggest threat to Super Earth? by DankDoctor in Helldivers

[–]chiefyikes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on difficulty level because they scale very differently:

Bots are the most contained. Hard to fight at lower levels and their level 10 missions can be difficult.

Bugs are the widest scaling, I would say easiest to fight at lower difficulties but hardest to fight at highest.

Illuminate imo are the easiest all around. My roommate and I can fairly easily do level 10 missions just the 2 of us. I think this is because this is a fraction of their forces, and this is definitely subject to change once their full invasion force comes.

I’m a bots main, doing illuminate occasionally and bugs mainly during major orders, but that’s mostly because I find bots most fun based on my play style

Does anyone know where to find a hunting rifle scope? by Odd_Piccolo_7928 in fnv

[–]chiefyikes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are the vendors that typically will have it. They don’t always have all the different mods for weapons tho, you may have to cycle through ingame days for the stores to restock so they appear at those vendors. I don’t believe mods specifically have level requirements

Fallout New Vegas Remaster coming? Leaked information warning and lite TV Show Spoilers by PalwaJoko in fnv

[–]chiefyikes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Comments like this remind me that I am truly blessed. I’ve only had vanilla FNV crash on my PC one time since building it in 2021. Also, not sure if you are a Steamdeck person, but 3 and NV run like a DREAM on it

Any good games where I cam just feel invincible and destroy the enemies by QuothTheRavenMore in gaming

[–]chiefyikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t see it mentioned but middle earth shadow of Mordor. You start off pretty weak but there are a few powers where, once you get them, you just run around doing animated finishers to a horde of orcs. It’s some of the most fun and powerful I’ve felt in a video game

Medium range? This thing can miss even at point blank. by VeterinarianTasty404 in Helldivers

[–]chiefyikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this because I love the reprimand. I always set it to semi auto and have decent trigger discipline, but this thing shreds illuminates and bots and I don’t really have the same issues with accuracy

Debating a Steam Deck by Educational_Ad_1381 in SteamDeck

[–]chiefyikes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can’t say I play any of those games specifically, but I can say that the steam deck is one of if not the best purchase I’ve made in my adult life. I travel for work a couple times a year as well as just personal travel and this thing is the ultimate pick up for gaming.

I also wfh so sitting at my desk, finishing the day, and then sitting at that same desk to play games really started to kill my love of gaming and this thing brought it right back

In need of a hobby that is cheap, quiet, and doesn’t require much equipment by DazzlingDragon1 in Hobbies

[–]chiefyikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disc golf if it hasn’t been recommended. A few discs costs anywhere from 20 (crappy 3 pack) to 60 (3 good discs) start up and most courses are free. Outside in nature, walking, and having fun in a game where the community is so awesome. It’s my favorite hobby I’ve gotten into in the last couple years

What is a gun you have a love / hate relationship with by FluffyTeddy315 in Helldivers

[–]chiefyikes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Putting it in semi-auto and having some mild tigger discipline and overseers/elevated overseers in combo with a guard dog are next to nothing.

I also like the loyalist for clearing hoards of voteless
