it's for people who want to play it more like a singleplayer game
just makes it more accessible
and with other players it's usually still faster

Sure.... but they're useless. Any dumb player can play better than trust.
I did all trust in SHB and EW. And it was painful 😄

its for those people

you still dont need to use it xD AI improvements will probably automatically come from that since they have to test all the dungeons
oh also cross data center is coming in 6.18

I'm just ranting. So glad I never want to do MSQ roulette ever again. Cause right now at least it's something you can disable the brain with.
Only thing I want to know - When do we get the fucking Animal Crossing island they talked so much about. I want to know if it includes an instances house.

running on proton I assume since it has platin rating on that?
also we had this topic, they didnt really remove much rather than the switch to DX11 meant they didnt want to spend a lot of time supporting way less than 0.3% of players
fringe salmon
yes epic bought the studio and made it free on epic games ages ago
almost 3 years ago
fading spade
They were made to only work offline and got no more updates
but now the game is entirely gone from Steam
fringe salmon
it was dropped because they changed the game from running on DX9 on DX11
and at the time linux AND macos was <0.3% of their players
fading spade
They used to use Vulkan on Linux right?
fringe salmon
so they did not want to spend time on that
fading spade
Cause the native port ran really damn well
Unlike Borderlands 2.... that port runs at 20FPS on my computer but on Windows I get like 90
fringe salmon
And that's when the team was frank with its non-Windows players: they only make up 0.3% of active players. "Given that, we cannot justify the additional and ongoing investment in developing native clients for those platforms, especially when viable workarounds exist like Bootcamp or Wine to keep those users playing"

Whoa Valve made Portal 3 exclusively for the Deck!

In our rough estimation, the Steam Deck loses about 10% of battery every 24 hours its in sleep mode
Holy fuck thats amazing

you can enable MangoHUD from inside the battery menu
thats so amazing
feral ferry
10% still sounds kinda high
fading spade
im so happy the software embargo is gone
they can finallyl talk about it properly <3
feral ferry
So how is it
I heard it's great but has issues
I just have a problem with the thing being a Linux distro basically
fading spade
you dont have to mess with thw distro side of it if you treat it like a console and stay within the bounds of steamOS
feral ferry
Can't play all the games
fading spade
but you cann access the desktop and use it as a regular computer
yeah, neither cann a console
feral ferry
Win > Linux 😛
fading spade
for gaming yes
feral ferry
I do wonder how would the performance do on like a lightweight Windows OS
Win7 anyone
fading spade
im jsut saying, win is better than linux for gaming because of the mass usage windows has
feral ferry
Everyone knows that
I expect SteamOS to be heavily optimized to be lightweight just for the Deck though
fading spade
yeah, so you cant call Linux shit because its not being supported, its still up for the task just fine if someone wanted to make their game work on it
I see so many people do that ;-;
feral ferry
If you just slap Windows on it, there might be a relatively sizeable perf loss
feral ferry
That's part of the reason
It's annoying af to work with
On Windows literally everything installs really easily
Linux is a pain in the ass most of the time
"Don't have this pre-requisite, this is out of date, this installed correctly but doesn't launch"
fading spade
The Phawx is making me feel slightly better about not getting the Deck with the largest storage size
cause he shows the SD card slot is just as fast
feral ferry
.exe's basically don't even exist and you have to rely on ./something.sh to launch the program
fading spade
what?
feral ferry
Terminal is mandatory if you want to use Linux
fading spade
no its not xd
feral ferry
Like I like that it's cool and free
fading spade
for like 95% of things

you saying you cant run any app without a terminal?
feral ferry
You can
But for example, I had to install a bunch of programming tools
And they don't come with quick launch in startup options
I have to navigate though program files and use terminal to launch them
fading spade
Yeah, dev stuff, tbf, thats mostly the case on Windows too
Ive had to run all my database software from terminal on windows also, and dig into file locations to setup things for localhost when doing web dev stuff

In Linux it's root for some fucking reason
You have to circumnavigate the globe to find folders for some dumb ass reason

Interesting
Dave says the Deck speakers are pretty bad
Linus says they sound in...
I mean... what’s Dave’s view on audio?
If you’re speaking from a studio or recording perspective they’ll sound like ass.
If you’re speaking from an ‘it’s a portable gaming platform’ standard then it’ll sound fantastic.
I feel like in his reviews Linus wasn’t targeting the audio lads, he was more pointing toward the speakers being fantastic comparatively.
fading spade
I think he's not an audiophile but he is close
unborn spruce
I think he's not an audiophile but he is close
Yeah so the deck speakers sound like ass.
fading spade
Tbf
I'm curious about the headphone jack quality too on it
unborn spruce
I mean shit, I agree compared to my headphones laptop/PC/handheld/tv/etc speakers sound like utter ass.
unborn spruce
Nah. It’s not the OS being the limiting factor, that’s an asinine thing to say.
fading spade
The OS definitely affects audio quality
unborn spruce
Digital worth a damn is doing bit perfect, doesn’t matter if it’s Windows or Linux.
fading spade
I have dual boot on my computer
Linux and windows have different audio quality when I play music on either one
unborn spruce
Literally the OS is irrelevant so long as your program is doing bit perfect.
ornate cedar
Not really. If you drive it the same it should sound the same
unborn spruce
All an OS is would be a platform to run shit on, and audio ain’t one of those things that needs an exact kernel. That’s just asinine to say.
fading spade
Then explain why my audio quality sounds better in Linux? On the same hardware as my Windows install
fringe salmon
because your audio settings are different
unborn spruce
Programs, how you’re encoding and decoding, audio settings, etc.
The OS means nothing.
ornate cedar
Could even be psychological in nature
unborn spruce
^
fading spade
because your audio settings are different
Windows is stock settings but the quality bumped up in system settings
I installed pipewire in Linux
unborn spruce
So you installed a specific program to make your audio better and it got better.
Shocker. 
fringe salmon
so then it's not the OS doing it anymore if you installed something right?
unborn spruce
^
fringe salmon
same as if you get the realtek audio thing for windows and it loads w/e its default settings are
or similar program
fading spade
Pipewire is an audio server xd like how windows has an audio server
You don't install it as an app and send audio through it first
trim rock
Didn't you also set up some fancy processing like EQ and shit..
ornate cedar
With ALSA as the backend?
unborn spruce
Then install Roon or Rune on top of any OS and it’ll beat the fuck out of whatever you have setup.
Literally the OS is irrelevant.
fading spade
Didn't you also set up some fancy processing like EQ and shit..
Yeah but it wasn't stable so I remove it
fading spade
With ALSA as the backend?
Idk
unborn spruce
Lana, all an OS does it run shit. If you change the backend for audio (can be done on any OS) then it’ll sound different.
fading spade
How you change it in Windows?
ornate cedar
Because the audio server itself does not directly deal with driving the hardware. Mostly Mux-demux of the various audio sources
unborn spruce
Install a different audio backend. There’s several programs.
fringe salmon
or first just see if changing the audo settings in windows are good enough
unborn spruce
That too.
fringe salmon
sampling rate might be wrong, some feature might not be active/active when it should not be etc.
unborn spruce
Yeeee
Especially mismatched sampling. That can cause heaps of issues.
Or hell, if you don’t like the way it sounds then simply change the EQ.
ornate cedar
Audio is simply complex
unborn spruce
Once your PC is doing bit perfect playback then it’s irrelevant to anything going on in the OS. Change the sound to your taste.
fringe salmon
then for more than windows settings, google what a tool is you want to use, or use realtek's software or w/e audio chip you have
unborn spruce
The amount of people not updating their audio drivers as well is hilarious.
ornate cedar
Blame obama

what does high even mean lol
Whatever bitrate is highest in the drop-down list
fringe salmon
I mean there are more settings than sample rate lol
unborn spruce
Yeah that’s why. Lmao
unborn spruce
Whatever bitrate is highest in the drop-down list
Try 24 bit 41000 or 48000.
trim rock
Literally no reason to go above 48KHz, or even 44.1KHz unless you actually know what you're doing
fringe salmon
yeah highest bitrate is usually garbage
unborn spruce
Literally no reason to go above 48KHz, or even 44.1KHz unless you actually know ...
This.
trim rock
Resampling up to those higher sample rates is a waste of resources
unborn spruce
The only time highest bitrate is useful is if you’re mastering or doing science.
fading spade
Try 24 bit 41000 or 48000.
Yeah I'll try this on Sunday when I'm back at my computer
ornate cedar
Human hearing is limiting.
fringe salmon
oh wow it even has 192kHz lmfao
unborn spruce
Only point going above that is mastering so you can guarantee nobody will hear any of your fuckups when you release something.
ornate cedar
To read more about it see "nyquist frequency"
fringe salmon
can also just cause issues if the headphones dont properly work with a value thats too high
unborn spruce
Think of it like painting. You don’t need every colour ever to paint, but having a higher amount can help if you’re painting, owning all the colours won’t help the consumer however.
fringe salmon
adding UV as a color wont make a difference on your painting basically
unborn spruce
^
ornate cedar
Or if you are colourblind
fringe salmon
but can wash out other colors if your canvas is bad
unborn spruce
Then you have the nutjobs storing DSDs and WAVs as music files. Why even?
Oh yes, I need those empty bits on my WAV, I don’t trust the mastering process.
fringe salmon
those people are worse than DSC haters
ornate cedar
WAV is uncompressed lossless right?
unborn spruce
Yep.

My phone sounds pretty damn good
But the volume slider goes up and down in steps of FIVE .-.
So I can't always get the right volume
Either too loud or quiet
ornate cedar
The AK47 does 600rds/min

I can change the volume per audio stream in relation to the overall volume level
. Which is super useful

She said that SteamOS uses 30gb when installed
Didn't valve mention they made it fit under 10gb a week or so ago?

Imagine people can lie or mistake certain facts 🤯

Yeah..
But when the base model is 64gb
And they say they are working on minimizing the size of the installed OS to account for that
You think they would be telling the truth

Apparently the SSD in the Steam Deck is slow AF
ornate cedar
No u?
fading spade
Im watching a review and they said that the loading times are horrible on modern games
up to two minutes from the main menu of the game to being in the game and playing
ornate cedar
That is a shit way to benchmark
fading spade
yeah....but maybe thats why the SD card is almost just as fast as the SSD cause the SSD is slow AF?
idk :/
ornate cedar
What?
fading spade
tbf this is the only review so far that mentions the loading times to get from the game menu to ingame and controlling the character
and they said its almost as slow as the Switch :/
feral ferry
yeah....but maybe thats why the SD card is almost just as fast as the SSD cause ...
Is this on the NVMe SSD or the eMMC one
fading spade
they had the 256GB model
fading spade
apparently the SSD in the 512GB model is faster still
so idk
but I literally run a SATA SSD on my computer and loading times are speedy boiz
ornate cedar
Perhaps people can lie or misrepresent facts?
fading spade
I'm surprised that MangoHUD had its own settings on the quick toggle menu on Deck
They have an option to show different levels of metrics about the running game and it's so nice
It makes sense
They had to use something like that anyway to verify the balance of power and performance but it's a welcome addition that they left it in the system and such an easy to use way
trim rock
A lot of gamers seem to like those overlays so why not make it easy, especially since many users might not have any idea how to do those things on Linux
fading spade
I tried setting up MangoHUD once, it didnt work out very well xd
some games ignored the launch flag when I added it in there
reviewers: Steam Deck screen is shit
other reviewers: Steam Deck screen is great
bruh....such mixed messages so far on even the hardware aspect
same mixed messages for the speakers, tbf, display and speakers are very much personal preference unless they are so bad that no on could like them

you can cap FPS system wide with menu button settings pane
bleak pike
ye thats what im saying
i hope it was the reason for 60fps
because it should be way more
fading spade
because people will only run their games at 60FPS on the Deck cause they want to have the best FPS from the games
so they showing the most used config
bleak pike
you dont get what i mean
ornate cedar
Why cant people understand that more performance requires more energy
fading spade
idk
fading spade
Yeah, I noticed that
ornate cedar
Minecraft is poorly optimised
bleak pike
ik it is
fading spade
if this is 1.18 I can see why the performance is like this, since the worlds are mega large now
fringe salmon
I dont think the reviews are mixed on the hardware aspect but rather that they compare it to different things hence for some its good for some worse
fading spade
my PC can get 160FPS on the new world gen and 80FPS in jungles

Nah, you can run Bedrock on Linux

but the launcher is shitty and barely works reliably but the game does!!

cars dont use bleeding edge nodes lmfao
fading spade
Apparently the higher priced Steam Deck got the most reservations
Maybe cause of the larger storage TBF
fringe salmon
cars still use 120nm and such, they dont occupy the same nodes as gpus
aside from maybe teslas pc system and similar
slim token
only plebs demand higher framerate from such a device
fringe salmon
but not the car systems themselves
fading spade
I find it hilarious that people are mad the steam deck cant outperform the xbox and playstation
THOSE ARENT A MOBILE CONSOLE
IT ISNT COMPETING WITH THOSE
fading spade
Gabe is as awkward as I am in voice calls
Good to know
Hmm, the Deck doesnt send a notification when the battery is low
it just shuts off
thats hopefully something they will add before the first batch get to paying customers
because Plasma desktop, the desktop behind SteamUI, CAN DO THAT
and those notifications can appear over fullscreen apps too since they are marked as critical by the desktop
What happens if it (Deck) goes too big, they are like like "Great, I have a doorstop" or "I can mug people with it
Gabe Newell
why does portal 2 look like its playing at 12FPS on this video?

THOSE ARENT A MOBILE CONSOLE
It could probably manage whatever everytime so long as a game was optimized for the steam deck specifically

I genuinely do not understand mixing up buttons on controllers lol. Maybe I've just had too much time playing with various controllers or something
I thought my wife was weird for doing it but apparently I'm the weird one

i am almost 70% used to swapping A and B when using my Switch Pro Controller VS Xbox One controller
it messes me up sometimes, especially the swapped X and Y buttons too

That seems to be the general consensus. Some people on reddit were real unhappy when I couldn't believe people did that 😂

no, it runs perfectly with Vulkan :D

luigis mansion is maxing the gpu so it's probably not even an upgrade to the switch
well I don't want perfect as in 30 fps
ripe tendon
yeah I imagine that's way easier to run than switch
fading spade
yep
Yuzu is developing REALLLYYY fast though
Odyssey runs full speed now at all times
surely others can too
ripe tendon
yeah but I mean hardware wise of the Deck
fading spade
Given the performance boost enabled by Vulkan, it should be fine
Odyssey ran like shit on openGL
Makes sense, Switch itself uses Vulkan

it seems that GameScope can run the SteamUI at 1FPS whenever nothing is going on
Which is really nice for battery saving
When you are just on the home page or the downloads screen or whatnot
It shows the icon of the currently downloading game on the status bar which is super cool also <3 so you dont need to be on the downloads screen to monitor progress

Pretty much all decently made softwares only render frames when necessary

ive only heard of that one modern samsung phones where their screen can dip to 1fps to save battery when its not needed to be at 60

if the screen changes that would be 1hz not 1fps and not something on rendering site either then

Yeah, on any Android phone you can turn on the thing that shows render time on screen as bars and note how it only moves when things happen, because re-rendering all the time at full framerate is a waste

ive only heard of that one modern samsung phones where their screen can dip to 1...
That isn't even unique to Samsung
Poco budget phones have it
Pretty sure it's just adaptive screen refresh rate

Yeah. It can only be rendered at one hz but most panels still don’t go that low
But with LTPO it is perfectly possible with OLED
