Nobody in here is serious haha!

One of a feline’s most devastating offensive/kill maneuvers is to grab its prey in its front paws belly to belly (claws out to keep hold), and use its more powerful back feet’s claws to slice through its prey’s belly. Repeatedly until the victims guts fall out, leaving the victim evicerated and slowly dying. What you are seeing when they are “playing” like that is them practicing a lethal combo move.

Even common housecats are murder machines. They don’t have bells because they are cute, the bells are to warn birds and squirrels of incoming doom. I’m serious, they are the #1 killer of small animals.

Good! That site is seeing its sad end. It was time.

Man of Steel. It was a shot in the arm for DC movies, and the Superman character in film. Why they didnt follow up with a direct sequel, and instead released that dumpster fire Batman v Superman instead, I will never understand.

Stretching. I think this originally came from southeast Asia, its so far back that its hard to discover. But I stretch every single morning. As a Native American I need that to limber up so I can dance, which I enjoy doing.

Valve is a very small company of dedicated engineers and developers. Im sure the folks making things work were busy, and the company just needed a marketing person to come in. Did I get the snark level right? XD Jokes aside, neat logo!

Raw sewage. We had some leak up into an apartment back when I was a maintenance guy. The smell actually assaults the eyes first, then you start gagging. We had to lock the apartment off for a full month while the clean-up company did their thing. They were wearing full on gas masks and goggles.

Can verify as a heavy Remote Play user that the update indeed breaks it entirely. Luckily, Sunlight/Moonlight still works just fine.

Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Instant pause/resume is invaluable.

Relevant username is relevant

I wish I had known at the beginning that its not a delicate porcelain device. If you break the software, its easy to discover the right Linux command to fix it. Or you can plan ahead before tinkering, take a backup image, and just reimage it.

And if something goes wrong hardware-wise, its easy to open up and work on. All the parts, seriously all of them are able to be sourced from reputable companies and can be quickly installed.

I was scared of hurting it day one, but Ive since learned that you cant. Tinker away!

Screw RGB.

Spider-Man:Miles Morales. Hopefully by the time I beat it Spider-Man 2 will be on Steam and Deck Verified

Ah yes the anime treatment. Only release reboots, sequels, prequels, and poor spinoffs. For every One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, Chainsaw Man, or Megalobox, there are way more re-do’s or milking such as Yet Another Gundam Series, a new Bleach something or another, InuYasha retread, Trigun reboot, Hunter x Hunter reboot, FMA Brotherhood, Fruits Basket, Fate/Stay universe, Evangelion remake, everything DragonBall…I could go on. It’s rather depressing.

Games are just following the curves established by other artistic mediums over the decades when laziness and greed wins, as it always does. Even The Last of Us wasn’t safe.

All of that is true, and makes perfect sense. It all depends on where you live, of course.

Thank you!

Looks great on my mini LED screen. Honestly, why do we keep doing this?

I have never been off the Stable channel, switched to Preview just for this:

Fixed incorrect colors (gamma) when using Steam In-Home Streaming.

Happy to say it works perfectly!

Destructoid? I thought that site went under long ago.

You guys need to try out streaming from PC and/or PS5 to Steam Deck. Technically everything runs on the SD in this scenario. I'm playing FF7 Rebirth on the SD via my PS5 right now, and it is glorious. Helldivers 2 via the gaming rig is also pretty sweet.

Steam's built in Remote Play and Chiaki4Deck are the best!

On the internet? There is no way!

Ah dang it! What was I thinking?!

My PS5 is wired, and my SD is the only device on the 6GHz WiFi I have up. So, imperceptible! I can count a handful of times I noticed input lag or stutter, that’s it. It’s basically cloud gaming, but sitting upstairs from the server.

They are not giving up the algorithm, simple as that.

For me it is quite awesome to be able to play a game on my PC, and take the Deck with me and continue the game on-the-go, then pick back up on PC, without losing progress. It’s pretty seamless.

Also, if I’m just downstairs from my PC, or outside, I can stream from PC to Deck and enjoy reduced battery consumption and faster loading times. I think the graphics look much better too, but that may be optimistic-colored shades.

They dropped the "i" but I'm going to hold out for Ultra Instinct

Just curious, when you do this in HD2, how do you use the mic?

I have this issue as well :( I have PTT in Helldivers 2 bound to one of the back buttons, when I hit it the >)) mic icon lights up on the HUD, but no one can ever hear me. Hopefully the community can provide a fix, or some more clarification from Valve would be nice also

That is so cool! I had actually forgotten about this game, until I saw it in this article that includes a bunch of other recommendations that are in these genres:

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/04/why-there-are-861-roguelike-deckbuilders-on-steam-all-of-a-sudden/

smaller bezels

This would be great, plus a stretch or fill option. Bezels plus letterboxing is so annoying.

Station 2 Station. I dont think its Deck Verified yet, but it runs great. Its so easy to turn off brain, chill to the music, and lay down some train tracks and bridges while the time just disappears. If you want, you can tryhard it, which is also fun, depending on the mood.

I wonder if the news on X (and other media) regarding Kissinger will drown this out?

Sure, valid question. I tend to set up all my in progress games for streaming, as I spend a good chunk of time playing within my home network. I get to enjoy the games with the horsepower and high settings of my main rig, and incredible battery life on the SD.

Trying to beat Spider-Man before Spider-Man 2 comes out next month. Also finally got around to Stardew Valley. I need to finish off Horizon Zero Dawn. Too many games, not enough time, the exact opposite of my childhood lol!

I did too, I was surprised to see it recommended on an App Store front page.

I’ve always seen cops filling up at gas stations. The Sheriff’s Patrol likes to pull in 3 deep to get gas and coffee. What are you on about?

Why? Your fingers are on top of them, and games often show you the button placement, shape, or both, and some even point to it during tutorials or idle moments.

And who looks at their own buttons anyway? Lemme ask a quick question: Can you type on a physical keyboard in the darkness? That is far more complicated (though most of us don’t even think about it), but nobody gets caught looking at their keyboard, unless it’s a meme.

Not to mention the extra lighting would just take away from the gameplay.

Thats Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth!

You guys have a downvote? Whoa, here on .one we do not.

How did you get HSR running on a Steam Deck?

Im on the Stable branch, and dont see any reason yet to switch to Beta. Any way we can get the list posted here?
