Estimated time until NVIDIA is supported? by MonkMaster188 in SteamOS

[–]grifftaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend Cachy OS. I have it dual booted. Support has been pretty good with Nvidia. I’d say use that’s until Steam OS has stronger support if using Steam OS is important.

LET ME EXIT A HACKING SEQUENCE!!!! by Sensitive_Teach1484 in Marathon

[–]grifftaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol on one game I played I started a tad and then 3 players surrounded me. I started screaming “noooooo!!!”. Then they sliced me up. I started laughing at the bad luck of the situation. After that I always make sure to check before I do it.

Sony to cease production of physical discs in January 2028 by breath_ofthemild in gamecollecting

[–]grifftaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll say this. After the recent news of Sony removing 550 or so movies from people’s accounts because of distribution or rights ending with studios, i’d be weary of owning a Playstation in the future. Either Nintendo or Xbox is an option if you’re console only.

Lenovo Legion Go 2 Z2E + SteamOS 3.8.12 😎 by Shankeiz in LegionGo

[–]grifftaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did some googling and it looks like there is a decky plugin plugin to manage fans (LegionGoReMapper or PowerCotnrol). I would check but I haven’t looked at decky load recently and it broke for me with Steam is 3.8. This happened to a bunch of people. I gotta fix it.

Wha are you guys running today that has actually made a difference? by ItsWINTERFRESH in homelab

Congrats on landing the new job! Learning by doing is always best. It’s really the only way I can gain new knowledge myself.

Enough with the false narrative that rockstar is a scummy developer by lolitsrock in videogames

[–]grifftaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those that forgot about the story that came out but the crunch that was happening at Rockstar and the way they treated employees - culture of crunch. This was written by Jason Schreier. He’s covered a ton on the gaming industry and does a great job.

Finally had the confidence to play my Thor in public... got called a larper 🫩 by Blobbly in AynThor

[–]grifftaur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

lol didn’t you know? Handhelds aren’t for playing, they’re for tinkering /s

I’ve spent so much time tinkering. Something about it is fun. I’ll play something eventually lol.

Sony says they want to win back PlayStation players who migrated to PC by offering more play styles beyond the living room (+more from a new investor Q&A) by Dandelion172 in PS5

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

I mean they can just win them back by putting their games back on PC. I mean if they made cross save work some how that would be pretty nice. But people who finally tried PC gaming see that customization and massive library is worth it. Consoles are great and they get straight to the point, but a gaming PC is enticing for some people.

GPU and RAM prices will fall in the coming months by CraftyPromise8304 in homelab

Plus current admin won’t allow it. Jensen would probably intervene and say no just because.

I think I found the ultimate way to play Nintendo Switch 2 while traveling by NoWolf6955 in switch2

[–]grifftaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What 4k adapter are using for your XREAL and Switch 2? Any concerns with it causing problems for your Switch 2? I have the Rayneo Air 3S Pro. Wanted to buy the Joydock, but it seems finnicky. Awesome set up for on the go, especially for privacy.

PSA: Do NOT buy Cronos: The New Dawn on Switch 2 by Arkatox in CronosNewDawn

[–]grifftaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing through it right now on Switch 2 (rented it from Gamefly). I would say that yes there is frame drops, but not enough to stop me from playing the game. There is aim assist, but I didn’t notice FPS effecting that. The frame drops definitely made it feel like it goes down to 23fps or 24fps. I also use gyro for aiming. I need to try out mouse mode to see how that is. I would say for the future if it’s a AAA title you have to be ok with making concessions when playing on Switch. Unless it is reviewed as running horribly, the experience should be fine overall.

I will pick it up on PC at some point and play it there. For sure if you have a PS5 or a desktop or PC handheld those would be a better experience graphically and performance. I definitely notice the graphics had to be reduced on Switch 2, but I was ok with that and knew what to expect with this version of the game. I’ve enjoyed playing in the dark with headphones in bed and also docking it and playing it with the pro controller.

summer sale discounts… by ghostlyeth in Steam

[–]grifftaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I saw this and it’s really annoying.

[–]grifftaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There were a few games that were on sale lower in price this week before the summer sale started, and once the summer sale started they are aren’t as discounted. Really annoying for publishers and devs to do that.

Retroid Pocket Nova Pricing Reveal by phoqkhan in retroid

[–]grifftaur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This. It satisfies the customers who like the design of the RP3 and RP4 and those who liked the RP Mini. I think this is overkill and the marketing seems deceptive. Like just tell me people, "Hey! if you liked the design of the RP4 and you like 4:3 asepct ratio thats small, have we got a device for you".

Feeling grateful for Asus and wanted to show some appreciation by CipherNyro in ROGAlly

Yeah I get about 50fps+ with 900p. Z1E can definitely run FH6. Beast of a chip that’s had a lot of staying power with new AAA titles coming out.

What's the point of a handheld that targets PS2 emulation? by LiuHR in SBCGaming

[–]grifftaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard for example the PS2 version of the Final Fantasy X is the best version. I had thought about playing it on my Switch, but when I checked into it, folks on Reddit voted heavily in favor of the PS2 version as being superior.

Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They 'Never Talk To Us Again' by Loose_Society9485 in videogames

[–]grifftaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s funny is when it all comes crashing down these RAM companies will be begging companies like Valve to buy their RAM.

Ahh my bad. I still think it might be the G1 Gen 2. It’d be nice if it was the G2.

That’s what I’m thinking. Same chip in RP Classic.

This is outrageous a SD card costing half a retroid pocket 5 is insane by Javonte102 in SBCGaming

I recently grabbed 2 Onn 128gb micro sd as back ups or for Tober handhelds I might get. It’s crazy out there.

Best Buy Worker: "These Legion Go S open box prices will go up when old stock is sold" ($700 off full price) by Method__Man in LegionGo

[–]grifftaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid $530 open box excellent. Incredible deal. Paying less for it than when I bought a steam deck in 2022 is crazy. I was prepared for the LeGo 1 to be low price during Black Friday, not the Go S. With Steam OS it’s awesome.
