Is Decky bad or something?

It's not bad, it's just that it's outside software, so you have to expect it to sometimes conflict with what Valve updates. I've personally noticed that my Deck sometimes doesn't fully shut down when I tell it to, so I have to hold the power button, and it's more than likely Decky (or a Decky plug-i

I feel like some people forget about the "portable" part of a "portable" gaming device like the deck.

I just replaced my Steam Deck LCD with a Steam Deck OLED just two months ago. Forget Portal, Valve's greatest accomplishment is getting me to pay $550 for Zen 2 cores and RDNA2 graphics in 2025 and not making me feel like I got ripped off.

Please stop misleading people on Steam Reviews when using LSFG

Keep in mind, if you ever see a steam deck user say "runs amazingly" or "solid 60" they’re lying their ass off. It really means "game runs like shit and looks like a pixelated mess. But it’s my only pc so I’m full of cope" the crimson desert performance videos comment section are horribly misleading

Steam Controller Price (Allegedly) Leaked By Early Review - and It’s Expensive ($99)

There are a lot of people latching onto the idea that the Steam hardware is meant to be mainstream and accessible for console audiences despite Valve repeatedly making it clear that this is PC hardware for enthusiasts. Honestly, this is less than I'd expected, I was thinking more like $120. For the

Steam Deck 2 reportedly targeting 2028, delays are possible due to RAM/NAND shortage (KeplerL2)

Yes but Switch games are custom designed for ARM. Valve will always need to make PC games (all x86) work on ARM using a translation layer. A really good x86 machine still makes more sense. The battery life on the Steam Deck OLED is already pretty good for most situations. If they can maintain that w

I am so glad I chose the Steam Deck over the Xbox Rog Ally.

I choose an ROG Ally X because I wanted “a bigger battery”… I ended up getting a Steam Deck OLED as well later because I wanted the track pads. The interesting thing I found is that the deck is just SO optimised that the battery performance is the same as the Ally X is almost every game. Example, my

Patch Notes 0.16.0 - Skrip's Updeet

Bought this yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes how well optimised it is for Steam Deck OLED. Had 6 hours at 60fps and now your telling me its even MORE optimised?

For emulation I'd personally keep the Steam Deck OLED Screen and slightly bigger screen Nice ergonomics Efficient battery/hardware Looks a lot nicer imo

is there any reason you would use eden/ryujinx to emulate BOTW instead of cemu and why

*** disclaimer, I am not done testing. On the latest release of Eden, 0.2.0 rc-2, I decided to benchmark botw very recently. I’m using the latest release of NX Optimizer for botw, update 1.6.0. The competition is Cemu 2.5, both on the Steam Deck oled. On both versions I set the resolution to 900p. B

After much deliberation I’ve decided!

People talk about Steam compatibility with the Odin 3 like it’s not good. I’ve got over 40 games running near flawlessly. Practically every metroidvania/2d platformer/roguelite/roguelike I’ve tried has run perfectly and that’s not to mention other games like Dispatch and LOTR: Shadows of Mordor. Gra
