u/newthrowaway20 — ThrowawayOnLemmy

Yeah I think when Valve first came up with it, they also weren't expecting a four-figure price

I've had mine damn near 4 years now and I upgraded to a 2tb when I first bought it, and I just recently installed a new battery. Ifixit didn't have the battery in stock when I looked, so I ordered a third party. It's higher density, like 5000 mah and it fit just fine in the LCD deck. Honestly the hardest part of the install was loosening the adhesive, but if you follow the guide it's not too bad, just gotta be patient.

No idea how well it'll hold up, but it's been fine so far. It's nice to have some actual battery life available again for now at least. But with how these things have gone up in cost, I gotta try and get as much life out of it as I can.

Going through Control again since the sequel comes out in a few months. I'm usually streaming to my deck from my PC though.

So... no evidence?

Depends on the game.

Older games run at max at high resolution with no issues.

Any optimisations they make for low end devices now will only pay dividends in additional performance gains when the next steam deck and steam machine comes out

I never used the PlayStation app, but the app 'Chiaki' worked well enough for me with my ps4 and 5.


>I think it’s good the machine is not super powered. If people stop buying the latest gpus so often, then devs will need to optimize their games or target weaker hardware.

I really want this to be the case.

I've been running Bazzite on a Framework Desktop 64gb and it's a beast of a little machine.

Honestly way more expensive than I would ever recommend for anyone who's using it solely for gaming. You could make something just as good, but bigger, for less. Or you could build something good enough and small for way less, depending on the performance you're trying to hit. But if you're in that sweet spot where you want a lot of power in a tiny package, it won't disappoint. You'd be hard pressed to find anything as close in performance and size for a lesser price.

Plus side, you got a lot of vram if you wanna play with local LLMs.

It's looking like the steam machine is gonna hit that sweet spot of being 'good enough' while being small and probably fairly priced.

Modern Doom isn't really a Boomer Shooter anyways.

It auto updated for me on Steam Deck and Bazzite, so if you're using either of those it should be.

Wait. Why would we pay for this??

The USA elite should take notice. It'll happen to them too. Trump will ruin them if things get between himself and them.

Any Bluetooth mouse already works and has better ergonomics.

I believe that graph doesn't show a measure until you click an option. I clicked it and the most common response was 'Fair'.

Basically the story of Metal Gear Solid V.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Trumpers don't know what due process is either.
