Steam Deck gets stuck on "connecting" to WiFi among other weirdness, persists after factory reset. Basically a paperweight at this point, please help.

I can't program, but I only use Linux on both my laptop and desktop. All I really do on my computers is browse the web, light photo/video editing, print the occasional document, organize my photos, and play A LOT of video games. I was dual booting windows for a bit there for the games that won't work on Linux, but I soon discovered that those games weren't really worth dealing with the annoyances I had with windows for how often I actually wanted to play them... except CoD, but I have an Xbox so I just play that there. Deleting my windows partition was a great choice.
They can make them more than $70USD and I'll just keep waiting for a sale. I haven't bought one at $70 yet, I'm certainly not going to pay even more.
Mass Effect Andromeda, the middle of that game dragged, but the first third was pretty good and the last third was amazing, but most people didn't stick through the boring middle to get there. I really wish it got dlc and sequels, I wanted to see where that story went.
Didn't ever watch his videos but ran into him at a local event where a game dev had invited 60 or so of us to play their game early. I remember him watching over my shoulder (there were only enough PCs for half of us to play at a time) as I went to play the game in my favorite way to play games: incorrectly. Flew a transport vtol and was using it to "boop" enemy vtol fighters half my size into the ground where they'd explode. We would both get a kick out of it every time I managed to pull it off. He was a fun guy to be around, I get why so many miss him.
its grow enough that reddits shitty app annoy me a week ago and I haven't looked back
Be yourself, even if it means the people in your life currently will hate you. You'll find people who love the real you and you'll be much happier even if it ends up making your life harder.
(this doesn't apply if your real self is a dick, work on that)
I spent my 20s pretending to be the person the people in my life wanted me to be and it was miserable, I'm unapologetically myself in my 30s even if I'm still figuring out who that is. Its so much better and I wish I did it a decade ago.
mass effect could be a huge tv and movie franchise but the designs of the aliens would make the effects budgets prohibitively expensive. damn would I love it though.
i mean maybe the new drivers used maps, but even in the days of GPS I didn't use any kind of map after the first 6 or so months of delivering, faster to not look it up when the address already tells you everything you need to know when you know the area.
no, that's the problem, there won't be a new Sims game. Sims 4 has been a zombie of a Sims game since it came out 10 years ago and EA just announced that they're more than happy to let it's corpse shuffle around for the foreseeable future, rather than make a Sims 5 that people actually like.
I used it for a little over a decade (2005-2016) it's a truly awful place, you'll gain nothing from the experience.
I thought it was silly stupid fun when i was a teen
In my 20s i thought it was genius
In my 30s I think its "both sides are stupid" approach to everything is annoying and an immature stance in a world where one side is shit and one side is super mega ultra shit.
remind me in 7 years to tell you about totally different way i feel about it in my 40s.
I just cant support Nintendo anymore, Sony burned their bridge with me after terrible support of the Vita and PSVR and hardware issues with the PS4, Microsoft seems hell-bent on becoming a third party.
I have a Steam Deck and honestly its the only platform i feel good about the future of. I thought I was done with PC gaming in 2013, Im getting older and I much prefer the simplicity of the console experience, but its looking like the ONLY choice rn.
Release a SteamOS console and save us Valve, youre our only hope.
a picture of me with my siblings at the grand canyon for when they came to visit me when I was working there. Oct 15 2010
wow this will legitimately improve my life daily, thanks for sharing
idk I only care about Spider-Man but I had to watch a bunch to understand what was happening in Spider-Man so I was kinda annoyed with everything else.
I'd love to try that but I'm also dealing with a separate issue where my laptop is refusing to charge so it's dead and unusable. the deck is my only computer with power right now.
Everything I want to play that doesn't work on Linux is available on GeForce Now.
It doesn't influence my attraction to a man.
Thinking about it now, it's been a long time since I saw a Goldvision video. I loved that guy and his calming contemplative gameplay, I was even on board when he decided to just never kill anyone or any npc in a video game ever again (but still play stuff like multiplayer shooters and GTA Online).
I miss his stuff, gonna go see if I've been missing out
On PC popular options are Steam Remote Play and Moonlight.
for Xbox it's built into the Xbox app, Greenlight is a good alternative on PC
for PS4/5 there's the PS Remote Play app, but a lot of people prefer the PSPlay app on Android and Chiaki on PC for their improved functionality.
As for getting it on the TV any simple USBC->HDMI adapter will work.
thin crust, Alfredo sauce, cheese, chicken, bacon.
i think I'm gonna have to, now to pray the person who gifted it to me remembers the login for the steam account they made to buy it.
that's a lot of good information, thank you
i have a second one and I tried setting that up and unfortunately the problem happens with both of them.
I also tried a wired connection after that and it does the same thing just "connecting to Wired connection 1" and then "failed to connect"
thanks for the ideas though
can't wait, i know everyone else here hates it, but Starfield was EXACTLY the kind of game I like, I still play it often and love getting lost in it.
I'd be in the same situation if I wasn't too broke for any of that
I really wanted to like this one but I just can't handle being as much of a fuckup as this game will inevitably make you.
BattleZone (the one from like 2016) is surprisingly fun and has optional VR support
yeah this was one of my most anticipated games, until I saw this trailer and noticed the gameplay looks completely unchanged, now all my interest has disappeared.
My Xbox Series Controller, my Dualshock 4, my Dualsense, my Steam Controller, my Switch Pro Controller, My 8bitdo Ultimate Xbox controller, basically whatever is within reach, they're all fine but I like the 8bitdo best.
Just use whatever you already have. If you don't have anything I'd say go for the 8bitdo or the Xbox Series controller. They're both excellent. The Switch pro has the buttons backwards, the PlayStation controllers don't have the best build quality (I've gone through multiple of each even though I treat controllers kindly), and the Steam Controller is a little weird and not sold new anymore. So Xbox Series if you want to save money, 8bitdo Ultimate if you just want the best.
yeah, if it weren't for my fiancée playing idk if I'd still be playing CoD at all.
i hate Google but I still use YouTube way too much
My laptop isn't charging anymore so installing a different OS isn't possible, fuck me right? when it rains it pours. I'll contact support in the morning.
I keep an iPod in my purse, but I also keep a gameboy pocket in there for a hundredth Pokemon Red playthrough whenever I have some downtime.
Honestly I don't care, that's a pretty reasonable price compared to the lot of the content sold for AAA games. This isn't even noteworthy in 2024
I've worked at Dominos and I like it alright, my family seems to prefer it, but I've always like Pizza Hut significantly more. I live in an area known for pizza though so when I actually get pizza I usually just get it from the mom and pop place literally across the street from me, it's way better than both and cheaper too. Not a lot of topping options but I was always a pepperoni pizza girl anyways.
