I get it.

I can't use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.

I am guessing you don't want an old Steam Controller? You might want the new one Valve is making, but unfortunately I don't think details or a release date have been announced yet.

STOP USING DISCORD

I really wanted to play this before I knew it was predatory and manipulative gotcha garbage.

Well unlike religion, science supports this truth. Decades of science and listening to trans people and their lived experiences.

If you live in the US, your state may have an "implied warranty" law that extends the warranty of the device you bought. I think for most states that have such laws, the warranty period is 4 years. Many states have such laws but I can't find a list online. If you have an implied warranty and valve doesn't honor it, you can get the state involved.

Sorry your Steam deck broke. Devices like this should last many years, especially when the only moving parts are the buttons and the fan.

I love backside buttons for you all who use them, but I don’t ever want them to be anything more than non-essential programmable buttons. I personally can’t stand them, but as long as they are optional for gaming, I don’t mind that they are there.

I refuse to parrot the phrase "corporations are people" unless I'm being clearly sarcastic, or add, "the shitty US supreme court has incorrectly ruled that" beforehand.

I didn't know that, thank you for mentioning it. That's perfect.

Thanks! I will try disabling Decky plugins if I still have the issue.

Does this update fix the 'no sound through HDMI when docking' issue that plagues both my official and third-party docks? These ports and plugs weren't designed to handle my frustrated, high-rate plugging and unplugging, and I am so very tired.


Thank you for sharing!

Has anyone used one of these gaming pillows? Is it worth it? I'm considering getting one.

I use this dock by Skull & Co. because I needed a second dock. It's half the price of the official Steam Deck dock and it has nearly all the same ports. It's always functioned flawlessly.

I have purchased docks, cases, and thumb grips from them and they've all been great.

That's really odd. I don't know what else to check.

I hope you are able to figure it out!

I have a Steam Deck OLED and my Freetube uses the whole screen. Freetube v0.23.1 beta and SteamOS version 3.6.20

It might be the way you have Freetube installed. From Steam game mode, go to Freetube, then Properties, then Shortcut. This is what I have:

Target:

“/usr/bin/flatpak”

Start In:

/usr/bin

Launch Options:

run --branch=stable --arch=x86\_64 --command=/app/bin/run.sh --file-forwarding io.freetubeapp.FreeTube @@u %u @@

I am not using any specific compatibility mode.

There is a problem though where the mouse pointer cannot select anything more than about halfway down the screen. To get around this, I have the controller config set as follows:

• Right touchpad: mouse

• L2 & R2: right and left mouse buttons

• D-pad: arrow keys

• Left joystick - left: shift+tab

• Left joystick - right: tab

• Y: on-screen keyboard

• A: Enter

This will let you scroll with the d-pad, tab around, use keyboard, and select things with Enter.

I hope this helps.

The video is okay, but without knowing the resolution or graphical concessions made, we don't really have a good idea of how it looks.

I really want it to look and run great! Let's wait and see.

Wait whaaat? How is it failing? I'm really curious to know your experience!
