I could totally see owning one of these rather upgrading to a new PC. I could also see myself kicking my dog out of bed and sleeping with that Steam Deck at times. It's quite cool and looks very cozy. For sure a good purchase in my opinion. 

I guess from watching these about it, you have to worry about the OLED display getting a burn in. I like it runs fine at 1080 but is 720 on the deck at default external setting.

I bet you can put a USB-C ethernet port so you can bypass the WiFI. I can't do WiFi so I'd have to have a ethernet port. 

Cool stuff.. I bet you're excited like a kid waiting for Santa to arrive. I sure would be. Congrats on that bad ass machine.

The steam dock addon comes with a ethernet port and such to hook it upto displays more easily. I definitively may purchase this next

They have 1T SSD cards now? Well crap that fixed any problem with storage... VERY COOL! I'd still want to upgrade the internal I think it's 256GB but for ROMS and TV/ Movies archive... SSD's would be PERFECT!

I'm 4 years out of the hardware loop. I've no idea what's new today minus that Apple iVision thingy and now this Steam Deck and SSD cards going to 1T.  SSD 1T is my favorite part. I need cheap large reliable storage. 
 

 

They still sell the LCD model but probably wont be around for too much longer : https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck

But yeah even if you buy the cheapest model all their hardware is pretty much the same, so a SD card with extra storage pretty much does the same thing. Just make sure its not a 1TB one from wish or something

What games are you playing @Barron. Do you think this thing can handle something like ARK? Also, does have to be tethered to wifi, or can it stand alone with out it?

It can pretty much play any game that is compatible. You can use your mouse and keyboard with it too and hook it up to TV or Monitor. You can play games offline and online once they are downloaded.

I will be testing mine out now when it arrives in a few days, should be interesting.

Can it do retro stuff... Rom's and such? What are its limitations? Any modding available to expand usability? 

I have a little RG 350 by Anbernic and it's pretty cool but can only play older Roms.  

It's totally customizable, its running steam OS which is linux basically but you can install windows and everything on the device. It's a handheld PC pretty much

Just purchased the newer OLED model to try it out.

Anyone else own one? and if so whats the pro's and con's you have experienced

You can read minds now?  You have no idea what I thought or what I am thinking.  And, as you don't know me, or interact with me on Facebook or anywhere, do I give a rat's a--e what you think?  No, actually, I do not...

It doesn't matter keg, he has a list of people he blocked on this site anyway. Ignore him, if up you upset him then you are on his list, its like he is trying to build a list at this stage and I'm probably next now

Looks like you's all had a good time

Those views from the property fuck me, they look amazing!

Nazi propaganda music and anti communism stuff and yourself?

I'll have to start joining again, started a new job few weeks ago, 12 hour shifts with a mixture of nights too If I am not working for the next one I will be there

Congrats Penguin well deserved!!

This is an upcoming free game on Epic. The base game anyways. But, is this kind of game something that actually has an audience? The Sims was popular of course but this seems highly creepy.

https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/orwell-keeping-an-eye-on-you

It's a good game, I bought it a few years ago on steam. 3 Possible endings based on your decisions in game.

No it's not a conspiracy game Sammy....

Plus Epic Games is basically owned by Tencent which is Chinese so I am sure the game is not available over there

I took the poison myself, looking back sure it doesn't prevent transmission. Why isn't anyone asking why is it considered a "vaccine" if people are still getting Covid after their 5th shot and more. Each shot/booster actually reduces your protection.

2 shots was enough for me but I still regret taking it at the same time, years to come it will be still labeled the biggest load of nonsense to date.

Also can someone please explain WTF is "Virus X" and why are they developing a vaccine if they don't know WTF it will be : https://news.sky.com/story/uk-scientists-begin-work-on-defending-against-new-pandemic-caused-by-disease-x-12934956

1st clip where you see babyback doing the pred glide attack, i cheered on cause not often we get to catch that and people have often wished that was recorded or whatever. 

rest of the clips bloopers or pefect shots or perfect timing of the killings or whatever... we were basically picking on babyback in these clips.

He is a miserable shite, just ignore him. In fact that's all he could of done but he just had to bring attention to himself

Do you have any preferences on hosting. I've used G-portal alot for throw up games but all of my old hosting companies are sold to bigger players. Its alot better if you have multiple admins and you sound like your up for a new challenge. Any Cpanels your fond of 

We might be able to even host it ourselfs, drop us a PM when you get a chance

I used to mod Dayz for several clans in Epoch, adding perm Structures for the hosting clan and building server packs.  Standalone was pretty disappointing but since i started gaming again recently i went back and looked at the mod tools for standalone and how they have progressed. The mods and tools have progressed nicely what are your thoughts on dayz standalone now, do we have anyone running a modded server if not i may fire one up and with permission tag it XI.

According to steam the last time I played the standalone was Sep 8, 2015 . I have years experience in A2 Epoch/Overpoch at the same time

I'd be interested 100%, I have the DayZ standalone since EA which was a disaster at the time but it seems to have improved massively now. Something new and plus I could do with the new learning curve

I had a HP small form factor many years ago, there was an option at the time from them to buy one of their own PSU's for that case that was an extra 40/60w, the price just was not worth it

Greetings y'all,

 

I know jusut about every video and article online talks about using the cm/360 rule for matching mouse sensitivities across games. But looking at the photo below, doing so the pixel count would be different since different fov in games so wouldn't that make one game sens be too fast or too slow? My thinking that matching the pixel count by change the cm/360 to match it would give more precise results. Yes i might have to move the mouse more or less physically but wouldn't that actually be true matching? Any thoughts on this or am i being to analytical?

Fuck I wouldn't know, someone might. I'm just curious what program that is?

I play on a 144hz refresh rate at 1440p, but if I could get a program to match my sensitivity matched for each game would be great

I have over 230 games on Steam, I gave up on the sales like 2 years ago. I simply don't have the time to play them all.

Interesting too at the same time, I remember years ago PayPal would simply hint or give hints off about a steam summer sale dates. You on the other hand managed to get them all for this year

I might have a look around on the spring sale cheers!
