What I don't understand is that I have a Windows handheld but everyone online says that this thing is easier to use than any Windows handheld and I am simply not even slightly having that experience. The Windows handheld is flawless minus battery life.

That's great, I've heard that those things were not possible on a Windows handheld, especially sleep-pausing a game, so hearing that you can do those might make me consider to check one out. The Lenovo Legion Go is the one that interests me the most.

But nonetheless, I love my Steam Deck, most games work really well on it and I think it's a fantastic device with an OS that has a lot of potential, even though it's far from perfect. I also love Linux in general and the fact that a Linux kernel can play so many games compared to a few years ago, it kinda blows my mind

I adore my Steam Deck and so does my SO.

However, it's not a perfect device, it can feel quite glitchy sometimes and my docking experience (with the official Steam Dock) is freaking awful. Some games, like Elden Ring, Forza Horizon 4 or Uncharted Collection, don't feel really smooth on it imo. You will run into issues with some games that are marked as Verified (like Warframe) like the controller options would be a total freaking mess to work with (I've spent hours trying to get gyro working properly with that game to no avail).

But I also think you're being really unfair with it. It's not running Windows and you have to understand those limitations. You won't be able to play any game you want on it, but those working will work great. Your complains seemed to only be aimed towards its OS, why don't you install Windows on it?

I love Steam OS simply because how console like it is. No messing around with Windows in a desktop environnement, troubleshooting is straightforward and you have features you simply cannot have on Windows like downclocking to save battery life on smaller games, sleep-mode where you can pause games and just pick them up right back and updates from Valve that improve everyday the Deck experience.

When I pick up my Steam Deck, it's because I wanna lay on the couch while the family is watching TV or when I'm in bed. I usually turn it on and 5 seconds later I'm right back in my game from where I left it

They needed to write it on it because people would probably come back and told them they gave them a small fries by mistake

Pretty sure that's only a guest pass that was given away to you when you bought the game. You should have access to Counter-Strike: Source in your game library

Another day, another post whining about reviews on Steam

The Lego games are pretty much all on sale and they're great couch coop games. If you like those games, you're in for a treat because there is a shit tons of them

I wanted to get it, but the reviews mention a shit ton of quest-breaking bugs? How bad is it?

Yea but Steam has user reviews to warn people that's my point

Tbf reading just a few reviews gives you the full picture of why a game is badly rated, especially if it's "overwhelmingly negative".

You think Steam reviews are useless until you try a game from the EGS that's a literal stolen product from open-source games and that it's filled with NFTs and you have absolutely no way of knowing beforehand because there are no user reviews

Maybe it's because I have the LCD, but for me it stutters a lot and often drops to the 30s. I did try to limit the fps to 40 and someone said to me that it cuz issues with that game. I guess I'll retry it

Take notes, Asus

They make it seems like it's a good deed from them lmao classic ubisoft

How's Jedi Fallen Order? I wanted to play it for a while, but last time I tried on Game Pass the game was a stuttering fest

Maybe I'm hyper sensible to it, but for me it's not a smooth experience even locked at 40hz with low/medium settings. It often drops in the 30s with noticeable stutters

I got the standard edition, as I was saving the sale right now

That's a weird case. I've been hearing people saying it's pretty stable and high presets and other say it's a stutter fest.

So I've bought it just to try and no matter how I tinker with it, and even locked at 40fps/hz, it always dips below and create annoying stutters (I have cryoutilities)

Ouais c'est ce qu'elle a l'intention de faire, mais juste obtenir une visite astheure est assez pénible.

Elle n'a pas le meilleur crédit depuis la pandémie, mais en même temps, ils demandent tous une enquête de crédit. Elle n'a pas vraiment le choix de "prendre une chance" et de la payer :/

Non, elle a demandé de les visiter à chaque fois, mais soit elle se fait ghoster ou les visites sont dans quelques semaines. Mais en même temps je peux comprendre que le nombre de réponse à ces logements soit très élevé. Je trouve juste ça drôle que ce soit les locataires qui font l'intermédiaire et demande de l'argent pour une enquête de crédit.

Yea, thought for one second it would have been Nightdive

Same. I'm using my 8bitdo Ultimate on PC mainly because it has back buttons and that it works on Steam Deck. Only draw back is it feels tiny-ish

Fuck. It could have been the perfect controller with Gyro and back buttons, but no vibration is a deal breaker for me

Tell them MacGyver is gay

Cant comment on Elden Ring's DLC, but I remember when I got Doom Eternal DLC and was really hyped to start it after enjoying the hell out of that game. The DLC didn't only feel difficult, it felt annoying and frustrating. I realized that designing difficulty is a difficult craft and that increasing the amount of ennemies and adding mechanics that gets in the way of the player just for the sake of being difficult isn't fun
