Okay so I just got a steam deck, fucking love it dude. I’m thinking of slowly switching over to just using my steam deck and only having my switch for Nintendo exclusives.

So to the people who had a switch first, did you rebuy your games on the deck and stop using/ sold your switch. Or do you still use it and just split your games depending on how you want to play them? For example if you like the switch controls better for a certain game.

I'm a brand-new Steam Deck user and I wanna say that I'm very pleasantly surprised at how open, welcoming, and inclusive this subreddit is.

I'm used to factionalism and fanaticism about products, but people here seem to be united not only around the Steam Deck, but making the most pleasant gaming experience possible.

Linux users that are friendly towards Window users; Steam users friendly towards people who use the Epic Game Store; PC gamers friendly towards console gamers; I've even seen people recommending the ROG Ally to some posters.

I can't thank you all enough, and you've made me feel proud to own a Steam Deck. <3

Not here to talk about Apollo + Moonlight (though it's been working great). I mostly wanted to share how wild it is that I’m comfortably playing a super heavy Skyrim modlist (2000+ mods) that doesn’t have native controller support… on my couch with the Deck.

Ever since I got my Deck a few months ago, sitting at my desk to game has felt like a chore. I’d rather just kick back on the couch with the Deck.

I had the itch to play Skyrim again (we’ve all been there), but this time with a massive loadout. I knew most of these big modlists aren't made with controller support in mind, they’re clearly tailored for mouse/keyboard. Still, I gave it a shot. The basic gamepad inputs worked out of the box via Moonlight, and I thought, hey, maybe I can just map the rest.

And that’s where the Deck blew me away.

The controller mapping system on the Deck is honestly a game-changer. I was able to tweak everything, even add custom layer toggles and shift buttons. I don’t love using the back buttons, so I moved some secondary stuff around, but even with that, I got everything feeling super natural.

It feels like the modlist has native controller support… even though it absolutely doesn’t.

Anyway, just wanted to drop some love for the mapping system. Being able to run a massive PC modlist and play it in a handheld, ergonomic way is just one of those “Steam Deck magic” moments.

Nvidia announced the release of GFN with native support for the Steam Deck in January. Has there been any update I’ve been missing or did Nvidia just go dead silent about this? Does anyone have information about this?

Alright so I’ve been wanting a steam deck for awhile now, I had a steam account but didn’t really buy anything. I tried to buy one this morning and it refunded me because of some address details I got wrong. I tried to buy it again earlier today and later I get a email about it being refunded. I can’t contact support either because it’s not giving me the option to. This is honestly really annoying and all I want to do is order the thing. Lowkey want to order second hand so I don’t gotta go through hoops.

My pretty powerful PC rig is hooked up to the TV, yet I still find myself using the deck while playing something monotonous on the TV. There's just something about a handheld gaming device that makes me prefer it. Maybe it's because I grew up playing a gameboy/DS.

Recently a 2TB SATA SSD of mine decided to shit the bed and die on me. Had tons of data on it, including work, games and personal projects. My PC would refuse to boot with the SSD connected and the BIOS would flag the SSD as a hardware failure. Fortunately it was not my Windows Drive.

I picked up a SATA-USB adapter to try and see if I could recover the data. Sadly upon inserting the SSD via USB, it would instantly crash Windows Explorer and not restart.

Decided to connect it to the SteamDeck.

Steam Deck manages to recognize the drive connected without crashing, but fails to mount it. Suggesting a File System corruption.

Successfully manages to mount the drive in Read-Only mode using:

sudo mount - t ntfs -o ro /dev/sdb2 mnt/recovery

Now able to recover ALL my data and saved my ass a ton of headache.

I've recently started playing God of War (2018) on my OLED Deck and my god it's beautiful! This is my first experience with an OLED screen and the colours and vibrance are amazing, on such a small portable device too.

I played through the game on release using my PS4 and a standard 1080p TV and I can't believe how much I've been missing out. Granted, it's outputting at 1280x800 and some tweaks are necessary to keep it at around 40fps but it still packs a punch.

Let me know of any games you've played that have shocked you graphically?
