I just found this!

https://github.com/steam-deck-controller/steam-deck-controller

Looks like a project to basically cram the steam Deck components into a 3dprinted shell - but it isn’t finished yet!

There’s a proof of concept video in there where it’s shown connected to a PC with a standard USB ribbon pinned to a 2.0 A head… Might have to give it a go someday!

Dude, seriously!! I really do hope this becomes a thing. I would LOVE to have a controller that mimicks the steam deck’s controls, but without a screen… That SteamVR leak looks like that’s basically exactly what it is!! 😭 PLEASE, valve!

This 1000%

Excellent

Metroid dread runs pretty great on Deck, too! But last I checked Mario odyssey is something like 10fps, same with the mario galaxy switch port 😢

Sick!

I dug into this a bit and couldn’t find and easily locatable guides to setting this up on Deck (at least, not without disabling the read-only protections of the system), and I ended up finding Boxes, made by Gnome! It didn’t seem to want to download Debian on its own, but I just downloaded it from Debian.org and it was installed in like 10 minutes! Couldn’t believe how easy it was - and all with a single flatpak app! 😃

Thanks! Definitely true about the reinstall! I guess in my case I worry it’ll cause a hard crash right when I’m too kaput from a long day to go troubleshoot, and just wanna drop into a relaxing game before bed, ya know? Like at that point I’m just gonna sleep early and fix it another day lol. It’s nice to have an ultra-reliable gaming rig around, and without tampering with CSS the steam Deck is certainly that!

The artwork plugin is another one I hadn’t used, since I figured I’d have to find & sideload images on my own – I didn’t realize it has crowd-sourced submissions to pick from!! Makes it infinitely worth installing!

I’ve been resisting installing decky since my last (LCD) Steam Deck ended up a bit janky from too many mods 😅 but this post inspired me to make the jump and install the CSS loader for the first time!

I leaned super hard into the OLED’s blacks and picked red as an accent, since saturated red really ‘pops’ on an OLED screen. I think it turned out pretty nice!!

Love this!

modded from other sources

True! But depending on the obscurity of the app it can be hard to find non-malware versions of such modded apps.

Scan your sus APKs, folks! Its fast and free – Virustotal.com does a pretty good job 🙂 I’ve caught a coupla apk Trojans there in the past!

Ffffuuuuuuuuck that

Not the gel packs!!

Ootl?

Grew up in southern Idaho. Yeah that’s pretty much what I experienced growing up, too!

Wasn’t just admitting wrongness that was seen as weakness, though - honestly I came to find that most empathetic, society benefitting behaviors are spun and contorted into a weakness.

Ironic to me that, at least thru my eyes, spinning stuff like that into a “weakness” indicates to me that they’re avoiding the work they’d need to put in to be better… Which, is the real weakness here!

I think a significant portion of the problems in the US stems from a lack of willingness to work on themselves, aiming to minimize their impact on those around them (and thus themselves, through societal proxy). On the contrary, people install loud ‘mufflers’ to show they don’t give a fuck. Or leave carts outside the corral. Or scream at fast food workers, display flagrant racism, refuse to wear COVID masks - whatever.

Good ol Golden Rule really would solve it all, I think.

Bean hole.

Ah shit last I checked this was still pretty heavy alpha – have they made some progress on this recently?? Super stoked for this to be come a thing!

I skipped straight to fulgora first! Then vulcanus, then gleba. by far gleba was a rough factory style for me to adjust to… Then I tackled aquilo 😬 Good lord, this one is rough!

Loving every minute, though. So satisfying to find better ways to build in the different environments!
