Hello, Everyone.

Reading the comments under the new rules draft post it seems like the community is divided on what they want / don't want to see on the sub.

This survey will try to gather the raw data that we need to make a proper decision on the final rules that will be implemented later, so choose wisely.

There are 15 questions in total with most having "Keep" or "Remove / Limit" as the options but there are a couple with potential solutions too. It shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to fill out.

You can't edit your response after submitting it and questions are in random order.

Depending on the results of each post type they will either remain unchanged, limited in some way or completely removed.

(Example pictures were taken from r/SteamDeck posts, don't harass the original posters)

The survey to voice your opinion is available here.

It will be open until 2024. October 19th and results will be shared the next day in another post or with the new rule changes.

Again, the survey is available through this link: https://forms.gle/EZjKxSmFZEgGTEm98

In June or July of 2023, I lost my Steam Deck.

I left it on a plane in Dallas Fort Worth, a planne I had rushed off of in a desperate (yet inevitably futile) attempt to make my layover flight back home. It was a grueling day of travel, the entirety of it lasting almost 18 hours due to delay after delay. Only once, in my sleep deprived haze, that I parked my keister in the seat of my flight back home did I realize that it was already too late.

I did everything you're supposed to do. I filed a claim with American Airlines. I followed up, I called, I emailed, I used chat support, but alas. Nothing. It stung, as my fellow adults will know -- we don't get the chance to buy 'toys' for ourselves very often when we have people to take care -- so losing my #1 entertainment device certainly had a sting to it.

Time came and went, and I accepted it would never be seen again, lost in the lost and found (which I only imagine is the size of a football stadium) for Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. I even moved on, like Tom Hank's wife in cast-away, purchasing a new Steam Deck for my partner and I to share.

Fast forward to August of 2023. I'm sitting on a toilet, mid morning dump as I always do, doom scrolling to an early grave. And I see it. The lost deck post, with my dumb mustachioed boy scout profile picture.

I couldn't believe it. It couldn't be true.

I screamed my partners name, and she came rushing into the toilet in a panic thinking I had hurt myself. But alas, she saw nothing but me sitting atop an unflushed toilet in a stanky bathroom, me pointing my phone at her screaming, "THEY FOUND IT, THEY FUCKING FOUND IT" like I was in the early-stages of late-onset schizophrenia.

In short order, I connected with the hero of our story: /u/CloudsSpeakInArt. Who in short time, shipped me my Steam Deck, asking nothing in return but to cover the cost of shipping.

Hell, only after quite a bit of digital tooth pulling did he let me send him a "reward." He asked if I could buy him the basic package of Microsoft Flight Simulator... So he could play it with his Dad when it comes out, because it's his first year away at college 🥲

I sent him $100.00 so he could choose between the Deluxe Edition or splitting it up between titles. To be clear, he didn't ask for $100.00, he asked for the basic edition so he could play with his Dad while he's at school. I just felt he deserved more, and honestly he does. Good people deserve good things.

We should all be more like /u/CloudsSpeakInArt.

If you see this buddy, /u/CloudsSpeakInArt, let me address you personally: I've said it once, I've said it twice, and I'll say it a third time and probably another 100: You took time out of your day to do something for a stranger. You got off your ass, box a box, packed it, drove to the store, calculated the cost, confirmed Venmo payments with me, spoke with me throughout, when you could have dropped my SteamDeck off at a pawnshop and walked away with more than $100.00 bucks. You took time from your life for someone you have never met, never heard their voice, and probably have little idea what I even look like. You did it, because you knew it was the right thing to do. Take some pride in that, you deserve it.

My partner screamed with excitement when we got it back -- Now, a few nights a week, me and my loved one snuggle up next to each other on the couch, smiling and laughing as we each have our own deck to play with. That's thanks to you my man, and my and my partner are quite thankful for you, and wish you absolutely nothing but the best. Who would of thought that you would be adding the the memories of my family photo album?

Now, back to the rest of you: He's going to probably wish I didn't do this, but everyone, hear me out: This is a good fucking kid, he's a college student, and he's just starting out.

For fucks sake, he only accepted a reward after I begged him, and he wanted MS Flight Sim so he could PLAY WITH HIS DAD.

If you got even a dollar to send this kids way, I'd ask that you do it. Not because of what he did, but because good deeds deserve to be rewarded, and far too often the kindness we pass onto strangers is lost.

His Venmo is @LudicrousHat.

You know where I'm going with this. Send him a couple bucks. If anyone deserves a buck or two for kindness, it's this kid.

/u/CloudsSpeakInArt, you're a good man. From my heart of hearts, thank you. I have no doubt your Dad is fucking proud of you, and I hope you have a great time playing MS Flight Sim with him. Please show him this post, he has every reason on earth to be proud of you. He raised a fantastic son.

Now, as for the rest of you?

Consider doing something nice for a random stranger today. I promise you, it will mean the world to them. Game on, my brothers and sisters ✊

So, I've read plenty of post's about people's significant others stealing their SteamDeck. Well, it's happened to me. As I write this my girlfriend has hijacked my SteamDeck. Just a few days ago she watched me play Crime Scene Cleaner and she asked if should could play. I said sure, and it might have been the biggest mistake of my life. She's officially obsessed, and I couldn't bee happier.

Original Title: Just finished my first Persona game thanks to the Steam Deck! Burnt out years ago on P5 and never touched the series again but the portability of the Deck allowed me to even enjoy the grindy sections of P3 Reload!

I discovered that if you hold the ... button you can raise and lower the brightness using the left stick. I've found it really handy when playing games with both bright and dark sections.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the portal games are on sale on Steam right now. I bought each for $1 only to find out that the pair is on sale as a bundle for $1.50.

After you got the Steam Deck, what is one of the very first things that you realized, whatever that may be? For me it's that I may need some glasses.

I have been contemplating buying one for a few months now and I just bought the 512gb oled model and I am so excited. I just wanted to share this somewhere. Have a good day everyone :)
