u/nocturne — nocturne

With the Steam Machine you could sign up for all 4 of the options, but you were only given the option to purchase 1 of them, not all that you signed up for. So, yes, it was anti-scalping.

Weird, i do not use the web interface much, but I have never seen that.

When did Lemmy start merging posts?

Enjoying and Demon Souls are not two phrases I expect to be in the same sentence, unless there is also a not in there as well.

Damn, was actually looking forward to trying this.

I do have some gog games, and I was thinking the other day I wanted to see how X-Wing and TIE Fighter play with the Steam Controller.

So far I have only used Lutris to install the sims 4 for my wife on my old Lenovo legion laptops. I have not kept up with the program.

I had no idea about llm with it.

I have not needed to use heroic yet, but I keep meaning to install it so I can see what it is all about.

2tb, I got it months before the RAMpocalypse.

Steam Deck is bone stock, unless you look inside and I replaced the hard drive with a higher capacity one.

I get bored rather quickly with Palworld. I will play for a month or so solid, then put it down for 8+ months. But I do that with pokemon too.

It is not, and I did have to start over again.

I finally picked up palworld on the deck (previously had it on ps5). I have been playing that a bit.

I hesitated on my Steam machine reservation and someone suggested trying this. I ended up spending most of the money on something else. But it is great to know they help with this.

I did order my controller the second I got the email.

It is what allows a TV to switch to the correct input when you turn on a device correct?

I ended up using most of the steam machine money to buy a new Roland Keyboard (musical kind), but this is a great suggestion.

I hesitated on my Steam Machine purchase and missed my deadline, now i am back in the queue. 😭

It works just fine for me. I have played a few games that need a keyboard and trackball, so those work great docked. I used to have a setup with external speakers and a monitor connected to my dock.

If I ever get a Steam Controller I am sure I will play docked even more. My most played game is No Man's Sky, which I mostly play on a stand for my iPad. It puts the screen a little higher and allows it to stand up when I am not holding it.

It was the same for my Steam deck. Plain brown box with a UN label for the battery.

Additionally:

+ Your account must be in good standing on Steam

+ You must have made a purchase on Steam prior to April 27, 2026

I realize the purchase will not fix all scalping, but it will help with some.
