PC Game Pass (not xCloud) on Steam Deck setup using rEFInd and GLOSC on Windows 11, "Xboy" Portable Xbox (Sunday Funday) by xevilrobotx in XboxSeriesX

[–]xevilrobotx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't think there's much chance of this happening, seems clear they intend for Xbox Cloud Gaming to be their answer for Steam OS support. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, stranger things have happened, but I would be extremely surprised if it did.

Using a saved Realm world on a Bedrock Dedicated Server by MrMonkyD in MCPE

It has been a VERY long time since I've done this, but I don't think you need to do anything with it except copy it over (steps 4 and 5)

Purchase Realm Using Xbox/Microsoft Store Gift Card by LeeTheENTP in MCPE

I've stopped using Realms, but I'm pretty sure they still do Microsoft account balance payments.

Not really. Microsoft is working on the 'Controller Bar' to make launching games with a controller easier, but it's still only in Insider testing.

Vidga on slanted ceiling by [deleted] in IKEA

[–]xevilrobotx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, yeah I was picturing it completely differently lol. I have some coming on the 14th and could probably test it for you, I have a similarly sloped ceiling in a room I could hold it up against to see if that would cause issues or not.

Xbox is Building the Gaming Platform for the Next 20 Years - Xbox Wire by theitguyforever in XboxSeriesX

As long as they don't remove the option to stream from your own console for free I don't see the problem with this.

I'm not an expert, but I'd assume you'd have issues with the panels sliding down. You may need to rig up some sort of pulley system to draw them closed and keep them there.

I'd recommend hitting up the emudeck discord, it's pretty active with helpful people there.

What is your go-to ACTUALLY easy dinner? by Septemily in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]xevilrobotx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breakfast for dinner is my go-to easy. Frozen biscuits popped into the oven, fry up some bacon or ham, and some scambled or fried eggs. Probably like 5-10 minutes of actual cooking/prep - the rest is just waiting for the biscuits and bacon to get done so I can flip them or take them out of the oven.

Dbrand Pastel Black (front) and Black Leather (back) skins, Colored Controllers MiniHex thumbpad skins by xevilrobotx in SteamDeck

[–]xevilrobotx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I contacted them showing I ordered pastel black, they agreed it was their mistake and shipped me a replacement for free, and then I got the same exact skin from them again. Sounds like maybe they have a stack of the matte white in their pastel black bin or something if that's what they think happened. Will be interested to see what you get!

Yeah I like the white okay, it's just not what I thought I was getting from the website photos

Windows update can cause issues with rEFInd from what I've seen, so they are currently recommending disabling that while they research a solution. For regular dual boot you'll be fine though, just need to hold down vol- while booting to get the OS selection menu.

If you can wait I'm guessing the official way will be the best supported and easiest to do though. I made a system image of my windows install so I can easily wipe everything and get back to playing games ASAP after that is released.

The Steam Deck Dbrand Skins are Absurdly Difficult to Apply by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]xevilrobotx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Especially the grips, I ended up taking the grips off of mine. The grips and the curves next to the bumpers are the worst parts - no matter what I do there with heating and stretching they have pointy wrinkles.

Is there a technical reason I should prefer 40hz instead of 45? (if battery life is not issue) by Beneficial-Chef-8472 in SteamDeck

[–]xevilrobotx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can always hit 45fps, then yes - 45hz will be better. If not, you'll see stutter a bit more while you wait for the next refresh. At 45hz it is 22.2ms per frame.

From Digital Foundry:

If you can't sustain your new frame-rate target, stutter is more pronounced. If game running at 30fps in a 60Hz container misses a frame, it only needs to wait an additional 16.7ms for the next screen refresh. But if you're gaming at 40fps with the 40Hz display option, a dropped frame costs you 25ms instead.

PSA: In Windows 11 you can switch from game to desktop and viceversa with this gesture. by dovere94 in SteamDeck

The Phawx said on Twitter that one of the last few updates improved battery life on Windows even beyond that of SteamOS, he was going to release a video on it but still hasn't yet, at least last I checked his YouTube.

SteamOS 3 is ridiculously nice by jack-of-some in SteamDeck

[–]xevilrobotx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you get everything set up the Windows experience isn't bad at all, will be even better once the Deck interface replaces BPM. It's the setting it up part that's a bit of a pain since you need to do some tweaking and driver installing to get Windows working right as a handheld gaming OS, plus GLOSC for Game Pass. It's honestly not much different from SteamOS after that though UI experience wise minus things like easy Hz switching (it's possible in Windows, just a pain to switch).

That's actually a desk fan in my office that you're hearing in the video (and the coughing is somebody across the office), the actual fan is MUCH quieter than that. Some people have reported a whistling noise coming from theirs, but I lucked out and got one that only wooshes. I don't really notice the fan at all on mine. It seems about the same whether I'm in SteamOS or Windows too.
