Flashbacks of playing Metal Gear Solid 2 at a time of frequent unexpected power cuts. Painful.

I’ve got categories/folders I add games to in the Steam client. I don’t really play any games outside Steam at all now with Linux on my desktop and the hassle of setting up other launchers.
Favourites (currently playing or due to play next)
Finished
Lost interest
Never (got as part of a bundle or freebie that I don’t intent to ever play)
Steam Deck is good… But DNF list is the real backlog killer, dump uninteresting games and move on.
Interesting that a solution exists for that scenario. I used to use 2 podcast apps to keep my dailies and serials separate and had to manually go between them.
Been with MailBox.org for ages and it’s been absolutely fantastic. Proton had very limited offerings at the time, but even now I haven’t felt the need to move.
I think the most basic email offering is €1/month.
This may be true. I never had problems. But I never looked this up.
Or you could attach the top of a whoopee cushion over it.
Syncthing works great for syncing the screenshots and also for autobackup of emulation save files.
Best to use this with an always-on NAS. This makes file transfer generally easier to and from the console globally.
For your m+KB issue, if you put the Steam Link app on your PC,it becomes and instant virtual KVM and works great for remote access and using it desktop mode too. Great for setting up emulation, custom posters in Steam, Lutris/non-Steam games.
I hope my tip has soothed the pain in your asshole…(title of my sex tape)
Why are companies so awkward and dumb and “corporate”. Just lean into it and score some fan points.
“We know it can be fun to speculate and people are excited about whatever information they can get about the next Switch; but we’ve got a lot of amazing things we’re working on and it will be worth the wait”.
What does “gaming mode” change?
A lot of characters are short range or melee.
There are a bunch of flying/gliding/wall climbing characters, but a lot of characters don’t have tools to deal with enemies who are not grounded.
The game has been fun, but I’ve given it up now mainly because of balance and match making issues. >80% of the games I play are completely one-sided. One team will never be able to touch the objective or will be completely confined to the spawn point. Even if I’m on the winning team, such one-sided steamrolling is no fun.
I don’t stream games with Steam Link. I use it to remote access the Deck and use it with the KB+M and monitor. Moonlight does work better for streaming games, but I play low requirement indie titles exclusively so I don’t really need to stream anything.
Facebook marketplace is flooded with these controllers in my area. The popularity of guitar hero games died a decade ago and the controllers are still floating around. I got an Xbox guitar, but like the buttons on my PS2 guitar (with USB converter) better. Try thrift shops as well. Or if you’re handy with electronics and making things, then you’ll find instructions online for making your own from scratch.
I’m not the person you replied to.
Netease is a Chinese company and some people don’t like that. They have also been known to make scummy, cash grab, micro transaction riddled games and are disliked for this.
In order of frequency of use with my Deck:
My most used accessory is a hoodie with the single front pocket. The Deck fits in this pocket and is great to carry around the house. Doesn’t fall out or anything.
Thick stick-on rubber button covers for the back buttons that make them far easier to press.
Deckmate. I primarily use this with a DIY phone holder to attach my phone.i watch movies while gaming in a dark room waiting for my son to fall asleep every night. Also great for the kick-stand, but I don’t use that much.
A barrel connector to USB-C converter to turn my laptop charger into a 65W USB charger at my desk so I don’t need to have multiple chargers and cables lying around. I also have a super small GaN dual port USB-C charger for travel. I would also recommend buying a bunch of used (branded) USB-C laptop chargers from eBay if you want multiple chargers scattered around the house.
Tomtoc carrying case.
My Synology NAS for easily transferring files to the Deck from other devices and for auto-backup of save files from emulated games using Syncthing.
90 degree USB-C connector along with a generic USB-C laptop dock. Extra long USB-C cable.
My hitbox controller for street fighter.
The Steam Link app on the PC to work as an instant remote access app to the Deck. Works great for setting things up (i.e. emulators) in desktop mode with the KB+M and screen shared to the large monitor.
Guitar hero controller…yup this still gets some use and is fun with the family.
Dualshock 3 controller (works natively with Deck Bluetooth connection).
PD power bank.
There are a number of options I haven’t explored. I haven’t touched anything on the inside of the Deck. You can get a bigger NVME drive or hall effect joysticks or a new shell. You can also get vinyl stick on skins for the outside. You can get all sorts of other mods. You can get to really significant surgical mods.
My 4 year old loves Super Mario Odyssey… But I have to play a lot of the game for him because he keeps getting stuck. But this is how it starts, he’ll get better quickly.
Nope. I’ve never used one.
They should have just gone from Xbox 2 to Xbox 4 to keep up. Or start making after the year of release or something. Or even following anything sequential (like letters of the alphabet with what Android used to do). Anything that made logical sense.
