  • Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users

    Jump

  • Off topic, why does clicking keep windows 10 trigger the admin pop up? What does it need permission to do? It ain't for removing the ad because I still get it most boots

  • Deleted

    It seems like all packaged foods do this now

  • You've bought spaghetti Kelly, not cocaine.

  • [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024

    Jump

  • I tried the demo, and I'm gonna be honest it ain't for me

    The gameplay is fine, but it's the UI, controls and stuff letting it down. Its not very polished. Probably just early stages of development.

    I had a frustrating start, trying to drive a broken vehicle for about 10minutes. I even googled why I couldn't start the engine. (No luck) Then I got out and saw the icon indicating broken car. Yeah it's me being dumb but a well built game would think of this and help the player if they're trying to start a broken car

    I stopped playing after about 30mins, the initial frustration used up too much of my patience

    I may give it another chance in about a year or so, when it's more polished and maybe out of early access

    Also some of the controller glyphs are quite difficult to see on the deck, looks all jagged

  • [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024

    Jump

  • Gonna check it out, thanks!

    I'm looking for a game with realistic handling where I can race down some roads with traffic. Asseto corsa with mods is perfect but it won't run on steam deck!

    How's the controller support? The steam verification doesn't look promising

  • If someone gave you a 1-800 number for free, what would you do with it?

    Jump

  • But you get it for free, I assume the costs are covered

  • Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”

    Jump

  • I want them to have one account to log in with, and there are 4 profiles within that account. No need for every person on the server to have their profile on one huge page like plex

  • Comcast reluctantly agrees to stop its misleading “10G Network” claims

    Jump

  • The point is for dense areas, so theres enough bandwidth to share

    No one needs 100Mbps on their mobile data 99% of the time.

  • Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”

    Jump

  • Is there a media server that allows accounts to have groups of profiles?

    Even emby, or jellyfin don't support this. Really wish they did. Then I can give each household a single account for their device and have a netflix like experience

  • It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription

    Jump

  • But then I also pay for shipping separately

  • Proposed CA bill would electronically restrict cars from going 10mph over speed limit

    Jump

  • People will always push the limits. That leeway is there for specific situations where you'd need to speed up to avoid something or even for those who are slightly speeding without realising

  • nicotine wars

    Jump

  • Other way round in the UK lol. Disposable vapes are around £10 and cigarettes are usually about £15 (?)

  • [Discussion] What were your favorite and least favorite games you played on Deck in 2023?

    Jump

  • Haha thanks for reading!

    And yeah it took me a few tries to get into stardew. Mainly because I was playing a simple looking game on a beefy desktop pc, it didn't sit right with me

    The deck however, being in bed and playing stardew?? Hell yeah

    Not every game is for everyone, if you don't like it fair enough and move on! But I will say it gets very addicting once you've learned the game and played through the first "season"

  • How about no?

    Jump

  • Probably their style. It kind of works

  • There is something about a bedroom TV that is exceedingly cozy

    Jump

  • What if I enjoy my time in bed to the point where I'll happily go as early as 7pm so I have more time to game or watch something? (I have no TV, just phone, laptop and a handheld console)

  • I really like this device, but the face buttons are the worst of any handheld I've used. Is there a way I can fix/replace them myself? [OLED]

    Jump

  • They feel like a standard Xbox/PS4 controller to me, which feels good imo

    They aren't rattly or get stuck. The positioning of thumbsticks could be lower, and the L1/R1 could be easier to reach like a controller but nothing terrible

  • [Discussion] What were your favorite and least favorite games you played on Deck in 2023?

    Jump

  • It's a game that requires next to no focus to play. Perfect for putting on a podcast and relaxing. Probably best for those who enjoy driving. Not everyone's cup of tea tho, I get that

    As for the UI, if it's like ets2, it's dated but not too bad. It is an old but very good truck driving game

    Especially after you configure it with control settings on the deck. It has native steam input support so all controls are configured on the deck menus itself.

    It's really easy, I have right touchpad for looking around and using the mouse in menus, and back paddles to signals, center camera and toggle lights

    For some reason, I simply focus so much better when playing ets2 lool. I can't listen to podcasts any other way, my mind always wonders

  • [Discussion] What were your favorite and least favorite games you played on Deck in 2023?

    Jump

  • Started going through my backlog a couple months ago. I want to give all worthy games a chance, preferably complete before I think about buying another

    Started by cutting out all the trash from my library, bringing it from 110 to about 30. I then used a decky plugin to split the games up into:

    • Playing
    • Story Backlog
    • Non-story backlog

    I will have max 1 story game in my "playing" group and a bunch of non story games when I want a relaxed, not mentally focused session

    Dying light - on hold after ~10 hours

    too scary and the strength and stamina of the guy is annoyingly low. The idea of playing it sounds really fun, so I'll probably pick it back up when I feel like playing a scary game

    stardew valley - completed main story/objective (the community center). Took me ~80 hours

    the only game I've completed this year but I mean it when I say I loved that game. Couldn't put it down, even played for 8 hours straight once; which is very rare for adult me. Only stopped playing because I felt burnt out after nearly 80 hours. There's still content for me to get back to when I want

    the Witcher 3 - currently my "in progress" major story game

    About 10 hours into my second attempt at a playthrough. Wow what a game. No spoilers at all pls even if it's something that happens at the start

    Dishonoured - abandoned after 9 hours

    It's a fun game, the story is okay but it's just not gripping me. It's a meh game. I abandoned it when I realised I kept procrastinating it and moved onto the Witcher 3 (thank goodness I did!!). Small chance I try again in the future.

    Bully - abandoned after 8 hours

    This game did not age well at all.

    Very fun idea but it's too old to enjoy. Controls too clunky, missions are too basic, doesn't run smoothly and just a bad experience overall. The missions are also very basic.

    Some of the casual, short session games I currently have in the rotation:

    • Brawlhala - just downloaded, seems fun.
    • Vampire survivors - lives up to the hype 100%
    • Forza horizon 5 - my virtual Sunday drive
    • Hotline Miami - stuck on a level! Quite a difficult game
    • Doom 2016 - one mission per month is enough for me!
    • Dirt rally 1 - have to be in a specific mood to play this!

    Some games in my story Backlog (in no order):

    • GTA IV - up next after I finish TW3
    • Fallout 4 - I hate bugs and spiders though D:
    • RDR2 - played prologue already
    • Shadow of modor
    • Shadow warrior

    I just realised I put so much effort into a comment no one will read 🙃 it's too late to delete now, I ain't getting my time back so neither are you ;)

    Now im doubling down and giving all the info!! I've got nothing better to do (apart from the fact I should have been asleep 2 hours ago)
