Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

#1 you're also restricted to whatever plays nice with the steam input system, and custom inputs are generally more tedious to use than a mouse and keyboard.

#2 that's the entire point of the Steam Deck.

#3 isn't the hallmarks of something "powerful", I'm surprised that you would consider 30 fps acceptable given that you know what 240 fps is like.

#4 it's not cheap. It's just at the right proce for the hardware. The only reason why it doesn't feel worse is because it's running at 1280x800p. The display is literally from the discard pile with its terrible colours.

#5 Windows could do the same if Valve tried hard enough. Suspend/Resume isn't that special and I've manually invoked it on desktop for all kinds of things before. >Task Manager.

#6 that's because Steam is doing the legwork to make things work for you. See what they did with Elden Ring's stuttering problem. I challenge you otherwise to access the game directories of any game running through proton. There's a whole emulated filestructure that you have to understand before modding the game on Steam Deck.

Power user stuff is outside the scope of gaming for most people.
