Good morning everyone!

I am writing today to let you know that the subreddit is under new moderation.

OK, not so much NEW, as old moderators with new permissions. The three mods we have right now have been here in this community for over a year, with very limited access to anything but the mod queue. We now have full access to everything here on the front and back ends.

/u/sweatycat is the top mod. They are incredibly experienced and a person of great integrity. I am on a couple of other mod teams with them.

/u/weebutt is another experienced mod in three other high traffic communities. They are an amazing person and a huge gamer.

As for me, /u/House_of_Suns - I am also an experienced mod in high traffic subreddits like /r/canada and /r/advice and /r/rareinsults.

We are all SteamDeck owners, and are passionate about this device. None of us work for Valve (too bad) - we are just unpaid volunteers who love the Deck. We all have other careers but will be here as often as we can.

What all three of us have in common is that we are deeply committed to this community, to your voices, and to earning your trust.

We don't pretend that you will always agree with us, but we promise to be as fair and transparent as possible as we move this subreddit forward. We will be looking for new mods here to help us serve the community. We hope to add experienced mods and maybe some brand new ones. Stay tuned.

IN THE MEANTIME, we have a lot of clean up to do. The automod needs to be adjusted. There is a mountain of modmail to tackle. I spent 4 hours in it last night and unbanned a number of users. We want to do a rules refresh with community input.

We know we've got work to do. Changes are coming. We plan to do a rules input thread this weekend.

Contact us in Modmail if you want, post here, or feel free to DM me directly.

Thank you all for your grace, your support, and your help as we reset our direction as a community.

More to come. Happy Friday!

/u/House_of_Suns

Hi all, like many of you I'm pretty sick of the constant low-effort deck pictures / 'Look what just arrived!' posts. I'm keen to hear about how people are using their decks in more interesting ways (Gaming or otherwise).

As an example, I'm a Japanese language learner, and I have Retroarch's AI translation feature mapped to one of the back paddels on the deck. When I come across some vocab I'd like a quick translation for, I can hit the button and after a couple of seconds a translation will be overlayed across all text on screen. Super helpful.

I could probably take this a step further by integrating a script that takes a screenshot of the original text and saves it in a folder for making revision cards at a later date, but I haven't quite got that far yet!

This subreddit has gone completely dead, only "this is my little docked setup" or "it finally arrived, what should I do next" posts, surely I can't be the only one who's bothered by this? It's like groundhog day every morning.

the steamdeck is an amazing piece of kit and deserves better.

7 months ago my wife and I had our first son. My evenings of gaming have gone away, as my priority is my son when I come home (also to give my wife a much needed break as she is a stay at home mom). I've only played console games through my life so I wasn't aware of "Steam" as a platform. I've missed gaming as it has always been my mental escape where I could shut my brain off for an hour (which is even more needed lately!). Then came the Steam Deck. I heard about this device and then found this community. I ordered the OLED model on a whim and it's been one of the best purchases I've ever made. The past 3 months I've been able to return to gaming during my lunch break at work. I've finished Portal 2, Tomb Raider, Titanfall 2, and Fallout 4. I don't mess with any game settings. The most I do is set the screen frame rate from the decks built in overlay. It's been a phenomenal experience and I can't wait for my next campaign to play.

Hear me out. I stream games to my Steam Deck from my Playstation 5. However although there are games on PS Plus, if they are on sale REAL CHEAPLY on Steam and they work on a Steam Deck, I would rather buy them natively for cheap than stream them from my PS5.

Is this weird or normal behaviour?

The minimum specs have been announced for Civ 7. Not a guarantee, but the minimum specs look promising.

Edit: sorry just noticed the typo in the title

Compared to what you’re normally burning on your PC and/or console, if the deck isn’t your primary gaming device. I know that in my case, ever since getting it I’ve been immersing myself more in indie genres that just never got my attention on PC. I’ve always been pretty basic when it comes to genres, mind you. Mostly FPS and racing games and it was as slow way to discovering the RPGs and more narrative rich stuff that expanded my horizons. The deck really pushed me into being more adventurous when picking what to play next. But I owe the deck for getting me deep into these two in particular

• Roguelites — Dunno what is it about handhelds but I think playing Balatro was the first time my battery died on me while I kept saying to myself… just one more run, just one more run, just one… more… run. Besides that, with all the newer releases (like Astral Ascent + replaying Hades while waiting for the full release of Hades 2) they just keep on giving way, and eating my time lol, way beyond their paygrade
• Puzzlers — The chillest of the chill games to play before going to bed. They jog your mind just enough to keep you from dozing off (like Return of the Obra Dinn) while keeping you interested throughout with the story. Or the opposite, like Paper Trail that just slowly “lulled” me into the story and carried me bit by bit to the end, although I guess you could feasibly finish it in like 1-2 sittings

I feel like ARPGs are also very good because of the isometric perspective. D2R was my go to, now I’m cycling between Last Epoch and Path of Exile, both pretty good except LE requires some fixes to run smoothly… tho PoE also has the occasional hiccup when loading new areas (or else my deck is just playing tricks on me idk)
