Apparently they were using a different manufacturer for the screen for a portion of the LE Steam Decks.

Give that ol’ wallet the hug of death.

I highly encourage Dome Keeper, it hit me similarly to Vampire Survivors, but with just a bit more gameplay variety, once you learn the basics the back and forth between mining and defending is a rather enjoyable rhythm. And it plays like it was made for the Deck.

Throwing my hat in here, would love to know the answer too.

Upvoting since I came searching for this after struggling to understand what battery could possibly be made 4 for $0.01 before it finally clicked for me how to properly read the title. Learned something new too, thanks for asking so I didn’t.

I think if anything they’re just seeing how little the bad press actually affected their bottom line and are deciding they might as well get through more bad press now so that it all muddles together.

I’m afraid I don’t know Playnite, googling it didn’t tell me much as far as compatability. You’ll have to try and see with that, it may be a game by game basis of whether it works or Playnite may have its own solution?

I used to dual boot windows on my MacBook but stopped bothering when I got the Steam deck so I don’t really PC game anymore and never did with the ps5 controller.

For PC, it is not xinput or anything that most games outside of Steam will recognize, but Steam will handle it just fine and if you setup a non-Steam game to launch through Steam then Steam will convert it to xinput for the game to understand.

For deck, it’s fantastic, like a Xbox or Switch controller but with a touchpad. So depending on the game you could have it as a mouse, or three simple buttons(left, right, middle) or my personal favorite as a wheel of options, so you can stack as many as you want there(I find 6 to be the limit of my comfort).

I’ve had mixed luck configuring the mute button(bottom of controller, toggles an orange light), for some games it works great for one more button, for others it doesn’t seem to recognize it, unsure why. This is literally the only downside I’ve seen with it and I use it a ton to play a variety of games

I appreciate that, but I do judge me, lol.

This is a daily ritual of mine. I check for system updates, then decky updates, then plugin updates, then for new plugins. Then I check animation changer for new animations(usually least excited by these these days), then audio loader, then css loader.

I don’t have a problem.
