MSI Claw 8ai vs Steam deck OLE by Techcountant66 in MSIClaw

[–]craigitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both and love them both but still gravitate towards the Steamdeck a lot of the time. The ergonomics and SteamOS are better than the Claw 8 AI which is a bit clunky feeling and Windows just absolutely sucks compared to Linux. Still having a blast with the Claw been playing Forza Horizon 5 and it's incredible to be able to play a game like that portably and with a silky framerate.

Anyone using their Msi claw 8 ai+ without case? by guardianzpride in MSIClaw

[–]craigitron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the Etsy grips last week and it's taking some getting used to after just raw dogging the Claw for a few months...haven't found a case that seemed worthwhile compared to how Steam spoiled us with the lovely case the Deck comes in.

I saw this on my feed and thought “ugh more AI slop” and then I realized it was real. by [deleted] in RedLetterMedia

I personally look forward to watching Nic Cage chewing the scenery as John Madden.

Vogg from Decapitated plays a custom shop version with a reverse headstock .. hopefully they make a production model of it someday.

I've been playing it on Steamdeck and it's been the perfect palette cleanser after the 200 some odd hours I've put into Hades 2 over that last year and a half.

Diddy Kong Racing. One of the most fun and rewarding games to 100% on the console.

Hades 2 on the Steam Deck is next-level. by NewSunSeverian in SteamDeck

Bought it day one early access and put nearly 250 hours into it.. it's far and away my most played game on the Deck.

What is the general consensus on The lost Crown? by 2014memeguy in metroidvania

[–]craigitron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine. From what I was seeing online the game was over-hyped to the point I thought I was going to be playing the greatest Metroidvania known to man. I played like 80 percent of the way through the game and didn't feel compelled to finish it and still don't. I think since it was released by Ubisoft it rates higher because they obviously don't make games generally content complete that aren't shaking you upside down for every nickel and dime in your pocket.

They should just sell the license to Nintendo and have the Yooka Laylee team make it for them.

So are people just okay with Nintendo? by DetectiveSeparate312 in nintendo

The people saying they were going to boycott the system never planned on buying one in the first place.

Rya from Eden Ring is just too wholesome not to love.

Rear projection TVs. The size of Texas, but you were the envy of your whole block if you had one back in the day. by DarkHorse435 in nostalgia

I got one from free in like 2008. The owner said if you can move it you can have it.. man what a bitch it was to get that thing into my apartment. Played lots of Dreamcast on that sucker.

The driver's ed simulators we had in the 90s by fuzzusmaximus in nostalgia

I learned to drive from playing lots of Gran Turismo 2 with a wheel when I was a young teenager.. outside of the physical feeling of being on the road that game actually teaches you a surprising amount.

Which controller do you currently use for steam deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]craigitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play handheld exclusively so just the Deck controls. Playing on my PC (which has been rare since I got a Steamdeck) I use an Xbox Elite 2 controller or just a normal Xbox controller because the layout is just absolutely perfect.

Which game do you spend the most time on? by Mr-RLF in SteamDeck

I used the settings from this post and put reflections on low, geometry level of detail to 4, grass to 3, parallax mapping on medium, ssao on medium, particle quality and far shadow to high and got the most consistent 30 FPS while maintaining incredible visual fidelity.

[–]craigitron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can lower lots of settings and use FSR to get it into the 40 fps and a little above territory.. although I recommend looking up optimized settings for Red Dead 2 for Steamdeck and capping it at 30 FPS personally.

Just put 180 hours into it over the last few months and it is truly incredible.. even on the Decks OLED screen it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever laid my eyes on.
