While waiting for the delivery yesterday, I got a notification saying that the package was delivered and signed for by a “D.Donna”. The catch is, that’s not me and I have no idea if that person is even real. I called FedEx and they said that the driver handed it to someone inside. Huh? How can there be a policy that inside an apartment building where tons of unrelated people live, it’s a good idea to just hand it over to someone without first verifying that they are the recipient? Hopefully valve’s investigating comes up with something, this is theft or incompetence.

In the last year I've been getting back into gaming. I've always been a PC gamer but don't currently have access to hardware that can play anything recent, hence the Steam Deck purchase.

I ended up with the LCD version, didn't go for the OLED as this version was expensive enough for me. So initial thoughts. I looked up the sizes and knew conceptually but seeing it is something else. Even knowing and seeing online how much bigger it is than a switch is different from seeing it in person. The screen looks amazing (that's probably from me playing on my 3DS a lot recently and playing games on super low settings on PC). Not too heavy.

Unfortunately, on setup I got a bug where it tried updating Steam and failed. Rebooted and it crashed. Turned it on again and it's been fine ever since. Not the best first impression though.

Loved the aperture tutorial game, glad they included that. I played a bit of Portal 2 after, one of my favourite games and something I'm super familiar and comfortable with to start. Had a great time. Super excited to keep on playing and thanks to everyone as this sub was super helpful when I was researching.

They're both OLEDs, except his is new straight from Valve and mine is a used smoky clear editon from eBay.

His Steam Deck also has an SD card that's used to dual boot to Windows 11 (the entire installation is on the SD card), whereas mine doesn't have an SD card at all, if that helps.

It literally doesn't make any sense.

in reviews you can see a little steam deck icon for someone who played majority of the game on SD. Any way to filter reviews so you only see people on SD?

I understand that in order for a game to be verified it (usually) has to run well out of the box with no settings tweaks. What I don't understand is why the go-to for devolopers to do this is to set the graphics options and then obscure or disable the graphics options afterwards. It seems like the first step in this process is all that would be necessary to get the green check.

I'm making this post because I just had to go through this with Monster Train 2. I played it on Game Pass first and was pretty used to being able to swap between fullscreen and windowed. It's a pretty good game to idly-play when you have a PiP window. Windowed is usually required for that though. I went to the settings and the graphics tab I was used to from the game pass version just wasn't there. I immediately realized what the problem was and put in the trusty SteamDeck=0 command and boom the tab was back.

That's just a small anecdote though. We've faced countless examples of verified or playable games which have done similar. Can someone explain to me why this is so common? I swear I've seen dozens of verified games that don't do this.
