This is NOT verified. It’s a slide show 😭😭😭😭does verified mean anything anymore?

The game is verified to launch at 10fps haha If you change some settings it can be a little better but should not be verified for sure. Changing from "quality" default graphics to "performance". Should absolutely have been the default Steam deck settings BEFORE it was verified, as an absolute bare m

How often do you use your Steam Deck at home when you already have a gaming PC?

A lot, but I think the people that get the most use are husbands and dads. For example my wife likes to hang out upstairs and not feel so disconnected so we can talk still. Steam deck is great for this and progressing single player games.

ADHD impulse buying: what is one purchase that you DO NOT regret?

The steam deck, I got super fixated on it and bought one very impulsively and I use it almost daily. It’s also made gaming accessible for me again!

What do you think the SD is lacking? / What's your biggest complaint about it?

Another USB C port would be awesome. And better hardware of course, so I can also play new AAA games. And not really related to the deck it self but the steam shop kinda sucks on the deck.

Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 are now out on Steam.

I just saw this and picked up all 3. Feel like these would be perfect on the steam deck

I am afraid I can't do that, Dave

Unless you put in the steam launch option to pretend your PC is a steam deck. Then a lot of games will cooperate lol.

Linux smashes past 5% on the Steam Survey for the first time

The SteamDeck made see that it is possible to run games perfectly fine on linux. It was the one thing that kept me on Windows. I made the switch with my desktop 3 weeks ago, I installed Nobara and haven't looked back since.

Well this made my morning 🐐

For all Steam Deck users: RE2 doesnt work 🥺 Needs some tweaking to run just like Dino Crisis 2. RE3 runs good but controls need to be configured to be able to play.
