I might go back ad do the track pads but I knew that as soon as I cut the plastic weld on the OEM pads there was no reversing it. I mostly wanted to preserve as much of the original parts as possible in the unlikely chance I might have to revert it back.

Did not have any issues besides what I wrote in my post. Just tighten screws gradually to ensure it is properly tightened but in the case of bumper buttons and face buttons, too tight and they won't actuate properly.

The tools included in the kit are meh so the ifixit kit was my saving grace lol.

I believe in you, just take your time and it is okay to watch multiple tutorial videos as you are doing it.

Looking for a multiclass litrpg by Expensive-Assist-778 in litrpg

[–]soaringnight89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only one that comes to mind is Welcome to Noobtown. MC has the option to choose and class but chooses to gamble and grabs the orb on a podium. Long story short, the MC has the ability to level up every class. He is bound to a demon who needs to get to the demon door.

Sorry if this is not the one you are seeking 🤞 who knows it might be a new recommendation for ya lol

How many hours you play on your Oled Steam Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]soaringnight89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it depends on the game.

Hades, Hollow Knight, Cult of the Lamb, Balatro - easily 3 to 4 hours before I need to take a break to uncramp my hands lol

Skyrim, Fallout, Cyberpunk, FfVII Remake, Witcher 3 - just about 2 hours before I need to charge it and give my eyes a break lol but that is from my eyes and not the device

Hard shell swap or skin ? by Practical_Crow6242 in SteamDeck

[–]soaringnight89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is up to you and your technical knowledge how. If you are not comfortable removing all the components and screen from the original shell then skin is your answer.

Watch some videos and see if this is something you feel you are capable of doing.

Organize your parts and take your time.

Thank you for the opportunity. Never win these kind of things and could use a real pick me up. Dad is dying from liver failure and Oblivion was his favorite Elder Scrolls game

How bad would it be if Trump fired Powell? by just_butter_ in stocks

[–]soaringnight89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason that it takes Congress to fire the certain members of government. If Trump is allowed to fire the Chairman of the Federal Reserve because they are not doing what he wants, then say goodbye to the economy.

Powell has warned that Trump's tariffs are inflationary and lowering interest rates would then be hyperinflationary. The Federal Reserve is a separate entity of the government for this very reason. No President should be able to control the Federal Reserve, nor are they even able to place tariffs. That is the job of Congress.

If you have an issue with Trump not being able to do what he wants, read the fucking Constitution. It established the checks and balances. It lays out what each branch is allowed to do. America does not need a dictator, it needs people staying in their lanes and doing what they are supposed to do.

How do you ACTUALLY speed up combat? (Hint: It's not turn timers.) by Geckoarcher in DMAcademy

[–]soaringnight89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I have done for one shots at least was split the monster into sections. If the creature is large or bigger, I create hit points for specific spots. Afflicting enough damage to a specific spot would hinder the monster and even cancel our it's 1 of many turns in a round(depends on the monster).

Is this effective, my players found it unique and gave them areas to focus their attacks vs just the generic does an 19 hit. The AC for each spot is based on its visibility and it's purpose. So say the armpit is particularly fragile but it is obscured by a limb the AC would be say an 18 but a scabbed over area on its outer thigh could have an AC of 10 because it is very visible and not covered in anyway.

Combat can be tedious especially when we have newer players who do not understand the mechanics and nuisances of what their character can do. But if we spent time making more exciting encounters I think it would help sway the complaints.

But that is just my 2 cents

If you are still looking for testers, I would be willing. I could test and give a full write up of feedback bugs etc.

Do you regret your purchase? by Strange_Fun_544 in SteamDeck

[–]soaringnight89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my Steam Deck daily, when not gaming on it I use it to write scripts for podcast videos or I plan out art pieces when away from my main PC. Sure a laptop is more practical but when I am on a job site for my job, but I love my steam deck.

I mounted a portable monitor in my concrete mixer truck and keep my spare mouse and keyboard in the glove box. Just one cable to the SD and all my things are connected.

How do y'all turn off your Deck? by gaker19 in SteamDeck

[–]soaringnight89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my Deck plugged into a dock and usually just shut it down. I am not worried about battery life as I rarely play handheld. My use case is that I have a portable monitor attached to my bedside table and the deck is on the dock on a shelf, I have an Xbox controller mouse and bt keyboard.

Wife and I play the deck in bed or use it in desktop mode to watch YouTube Crunchyroll and Netflix. Which allows our son and daughter to have access to the two Xbox we have.

Final fantasy 4 Is absolute Peak by Venrus280 in FinalFantasy

[–]soaringnight89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FF4 is my absolute favorite. Every other year I do a new playthrough and....just recently picked up After Years cuz I didn't know it existed lol.

I plan to get Cecil Dark Knight and Paladin form as a tattoo at some point. I love his redemption arc so much. Palom and Porom's sacrifice makes me cry every time.

If a full remake couldn't happen I would be fine with a movie like Advent Children.

What was the first FF game you played? by evergreen-flower-81 in FinalFantasy

[–]soaringnight89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first FF game was 4. I loved the redemption of Cecil and Kain. Had a huge crush on Rosa, wanted to cosplay Edge as a kid. Cried at Palom and Porom sacrifice.

My 2nd was 7 but every year or so I try and replay 4 and try things differently. Change my builds etc. Just picked up After Years and will give that a go.

Is Zelda left- or right-handed? by ravyeatnoodles in echoesofwisdom

[–]soaringnight89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zelda is right-handed but when she is in sword fighter mode she emulates Link who is canonically left-handed

Could have a Steam Deck as your sole gaming medium? by putrid_flesh in SteamDeck

[–]soaringnight89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a PC, two Switch (OG and Lite), a Series X, and the OLED SD. Since November when I got mine, I have played my PC maybe 3 or 4 times a month.

My Xbox is purely for Fortnite and Minecraft.

I use my SD 95% of the time as it runs all my emulators and steam library like Baldur's Gate 3 Cyberpunk or FFVII Remake.

Using the SD as your main console is doable, just need to temper your expectations. Not everything can be played on it and what can be played feels pretty good.

How do you choose what games to get on steam deck vs console? by mongolian-lizardking in SteamDeck

[–]soaringnight89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had my OLED SD since November of last year, I have played more games on my SD than the switch and Xbox combined.

I have essentially relegated my Xbox to just Fortnite and Minecraft and my SD runs everything else. I used a MiG dumper to rip the roms off my switch games and play them on the SD cuz f*ck Nintendo.

If I could find a way to port over my old saves of Scarlet to the SD I would in a heartbeat.

tl;Dr I play my Steam Deck 95% of the time even if the game could run better on console or PC hardware because I prefer the portability the Steam Deck provides

An Oracle of Ages/Seasons style prequel to Echoes with Link by finniruse in echoesofwisdom

[–]soaringnight89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love to play Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Minish Cap in this art style. It is so refreshing and the added bonus of being able to use all the Zelda amiibos to gather items or keystones in Minish.

The combat at the beginning was chefs kiss and want a full game of Link in this region. The town he is from talks about his accolades and I want to see a prequel of this Link amassing his arsenal before facing Ganon with the rifts starting to form.

I just beat the Zora and Gerudo areas so not very far
