And water is transparent.

Pre-built PCs are designed to die as well, and so are phones in general (incl. everything without a removable battery actually), as well as electric vehicles, not only cars.

Same with Windows, Mac and any other closed source piece of software but thanks to piracy and hacking its not such a big problem…yet.

Tomorrow will be visible outside during the day, but not so much during the night.

Ive seen ppl add “Steam” and such in their game showcases, I wonder if you can select “Steam Deck” here somehow lol

Great channel, I’ve seen his doc vids

Very glad he rediscovered his passion with those vids

And yeah if you don’t know what I’m talking about go check out his gameboy vid if interested, tldr the cheaper and more energy efficient tech in the gameboy is why it sold this good even though there are way more impressive products in the market

Basically its a repeat of the OG Gameboy story

Not as “bad” as rimworld, unlike nms that game requires attention all the time, and is even more addicting to me :D

literally got in the way of normal life and created temporary issues

No Man’s Sky for few months now.

Also started Hellblade, its very easy to get stuck in that game it seems

All low 40fps 10w 700mhz, FSR 2 on performamce. Anistropic filtering 4.

It can most def do way better, but I want minimum fan noise. Doing 2+ h this way.

EDIT: Actually idk if it’s around 2h, might have been more, I’ve been playing on charger most of the time and cant test right now

Maybe not a popular opinion, but how about No Man’s Sky? It’s where i chill out - just ignoring story and quests and go exploring, collecting resources, literally picking flowers and taming an animal to see it run around.

That or just go into the big empty space and shoot rocks. Both are basic things but i find it meditative. Get some chill music going…

Just to make sure, you arent limiting your cpu/gpu right?

I think that might be possible with just a software update

This should be added to the settings screen in game mode

It also works through the net, which some people don’t know about. It used to be LAN only at first

You can connect any controller really. Either via Bluetooth or cable (you’d need to buy a dongle for cable controllers tho).

As for which version, I’d say go with 256 and get MicroSD card if you need more space. That is, unless buying the 512 model would be cheaper than 256gb model + 256gb card, then I’d recommend you 512 model

Cities Skylines cause I’m hyped for C:S2. Also started and finished Layers of Fear 2, great game!

As a Windows user, I think the easiest software we can compare it to is NET Framework redistributables - your PC would need that to run some programs, otherwise it won’t understand them. Just like how Linux needs Wine (Proton) to understand and run Windows software. People kinda answered everything else

Re7 is very different, I didn’t like it as much because of that.

RE3 should be the next choice imo

ProtonDB for Steam

nyone else getting “There was a problem. Please try again later.”? For hours now

Edit: days now

I outright ignore that and check protondb, I even got browser addon that shows protondb rating on Steam store pages

First the hardware can survive at over 90 degrees without any issues and it can save itself if it gets dangerous, second I don’t think you’d want better cooling, not like this at least - there are other parts that need to be cooled that don’t have temperature sensors on them, and making the fan run at lower speeds might be a bad idea. However, third, cooling fans positioned like this (which this apparently isnt?) are worthless, cooling off the plastic cover is hard enough for them which doesn’t do much for the hardware itself.

Respecting the designed airflow (which imo is important) I think you’d have better results for your money if you play the Deck in front of a fan lol, that way lower temp air will be pushed on the intakes and you’d be kept cool as well.
