I love my Steamdeck so much. Been like 2 years now? still rocking every game I want to play.
Playing through ZenlessZoneZero rn which isn't even officially supported in any extent and runs flawlessly! Also it's a real computer that you can do real work on.
My Steam Deck has been awesome, money very well spent.
And Valve has made a good chunk of money off me since buying it too lol. I keep getting games specifically for the Deck.
I bought like 200 games since I had mine though mostly indie and actually played a lot of them! I spend quite a bit of time traveling and it's awesome to play some strategy with the trackpad - the trip just flies by!
I upgraded my PC and now I barely touch my steam deck. The money spent on it is still VERY worth it. Even if I never touched it again, I use it when traveling, I would still be unbelievably satisfied with my purchase.
I’d use a Steamdeck mini if was available. The current size for my needs makes me classify it as a non-portable. Hope the next version they have a smaller variant along with the larger one.
I've been playing OG PS2 San Andreas. Absolutely loving it ❤️
Have you been able to make any tweaks to the settings or something that makes the transition from gaming mode to desktop mode more reliable? I particularly have issues when I go from docked to undocked. The resolution gets borked randomly and other silliness like that
I find that happens if my docked and undocked resolution scales are not the same.
Right but why would I ever have my computer monitor set to the deck’s resolution?
Resolution scale, not resolution. On my monitor I run a 4k resolution with a 125% resolution scale. When I undock the resolution scale stays at 125% so everything looks too large on the decks display.
Interesting I’ll check that out. Thanks!
Same. I was very impressed by the games that work despite being unsupported. Heck, I’ve got Rainbow Six: Vegas working on it with gamepad support. I couldn’t even do that in Windows.
