If you have prime, there's a special today on 1TB memory cards at $127 instead of $249 and I've had my eye on it for a while - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X7MPX8L

I got one. It won't be here until November, but that's fine.

Yeah, I already ordered it. I wasn't going to, but then saw it came with a brick, and that put the price into better perspective.

Cool. How?

Is it connected wirelessly via Bluetooth? Or wired? Or with a wireless dongle? I ask because I have an Xbox One controller, and it has a compartment for batteries, but I've always only used it wired via USB because it was my understanding that I needed to have a special/proprietary dongle to get it to work on my computer wirelessly. I've never actually tried putting batteries in it to see if it worked over Bluetooth. 😅 Well, and my PC doesn't have Bluetooth anyway, so that's another reason I didn't try it. But if it comes with Bluetooth I may start connecting it to my Deck wirelessly instead of having to drag so many cords around when I dock it to the TV.

Wired. I have it connected to my jsaux dock wired to charge it, and before I take it off the charger, I press the xbox button and it turns on.

By the way, Vampire Survivors 1.0 will be releasing soon, meaning the game will be coming out of Early Access. In preparation for that, it's also going to be getting a price increase in the coming days.

I've already gotten over 13 hours of fun out the game, and I expect I will probably at least double that, if not triple or more. Not bad for only $3.

Didn't get it in time, but it's only $5. I also figured out by accident that I can wake up my Steam Deck with the Xbox controller.

Given that it's new hardware, I never regret not modding because of warranty.

That's really cool!

When you say 'donationware', is it a pay what you want (or nothing)? Or is there a minimum set.

If the latter, it's not donationware. If so, you can just use any free license and add that donations are welcomed but not required.

I'm using that one that was an all in one when I play in the bedroom, and haven't had any issues with it.

I haven't actually used my 'dock' version yet.

Ummm.... no LOL. I'm actually trying to just keep things on there I play rather than have everything there.

if you're using the default carrying case

That's the big problem LOL. But besides that, I don't (hopefully) see myself getting anything but one more 1TB card.

The site probably disabled a version of TLS. What versions they support would have to be asked of them, but most likely they're only supporting TLS 1.2

I sent back the Steelseries - it just shouldn't be that hard. The PS5 controller works for most games, but I'm thinking about getting an XBox One S controller as those seem to be the best for compatibility.

I haven't gotten around to attempting it yet, so I'm not much help- but maybe you can ask on Reddit?


I've been trialing controllers for use with my steam deck, and the steel series I use on my desktop isn't working, so I got a Ps5 controller, and it's pretty good, though I'm getting some strange behaviors on certain games.

I see people installing larger drives in their deck- I'm just not comfortable enough to do that, so looking for other ways around it.

Ditto. But I think it's likely that the storage limitations, especially of the 64 GB Deck, will lead to frustrations and eventually end up with me opening it up to replace the internal storage with a larger drive.

I am so glad I didn't skimp when I got the deck. Even 256 seems paltry now that I have it in hand.

Yeah, I was thinking about it because even with 512 GB additional, I'm down on space

Tell me about it! I don't have an SD card in my 512 GB Deck, and when I connected the 256 GB external drive and queued up a bunch of games I forgot to set default installation location to the external drive first. So it all went to the internal drive and I ran out of space. I had to keep moving games to the external drive as they finished downloading to make enough room for the next thing in the queue. I remember being surprised at how quickly the 64 GB Deck filled up after seemingly only a few games, even with a 128 GB SD card in it. So when I got hold of the 512 GB Deck it felt so spacious. But I have found myself surprised once again at how little space even the 512 GB feels like.

Maybe in a year or two I'll be able to afford a 1-2 TB SD card to help alleviate the storage issue. :D

Dex is free on GOG for the next ~3 days:
https://www.gog.com/en/game/dex

It is on 90% discount now

That 90% discount becomes free once you get it. I saw that too, but thankfully not before I'd pressed add to cart, and it was added as zero.

By all accounts on ProtonDB, Halo: The Master Chief Collection works just fine despite being ranked as Unsupported, with the caveat that the game's Easy Anti-Cheat doesn't work on Deck/Linux and therefore online multiplayer doesn't work. I'm not interested in the PvP anyway, but I do enjoy playing co-op through the campaigns. I haven't had a chance to test if co-op still works, whether online or via LAN, but I'm not sure why you'd need EAC for co-op in the first place. So I don't really have my hopes up but I'll keep my fingers crossed that co-op still works.

Thanks for this! I'd wanted to get it, but passed when I saw unsupported. I know on Destiny 2 they're making it so that if you even try online play, your account gets banned.

And even better: I didn't think I was interested in setting up an SMB share but after seeing the image and skimming the instructions, I'm starting to see the potential appeal. I can see it being especially useful for having a large ROM/emulation library accessible on demand without having to take up space on the device itself.

Yeah, I was thinking about it because even with 512 GB additional, I'm down on space, and I thought about just setting up a share for those things I want to play at times, but I didnt want to switch out SD cards like I see some doing.

EDIT: I guess that answers that question. I just restarted the Deck while still plugged into the hub and now the drive is no longer showing up.

You will probably have to have a script that runs on boot.

https://www.reddit.c...up_a_nas_as_a_steam/

This is the one on using a NAS. The actual post with the instructions can be found at https://www.reddit.c...=web2x&context=3

This includes shell scripts for recreating the mount and remounting if necessary from game mode after restart.
