He shows you at the end of the video, looks like you can average over 30fps

I just watched it mate, I'm gonna finish Alan Wake and cyberpunk and see if OLED can push out a few more fps before giving it a go.

The game I am seriously considering is Robocop. I'm trying to avoid having loads of games I've not mastered.

Which of those Sonic games was out in 1991??

The first one

 

[TNA]

Ah all this talk of Celeste has made me want to try it now

It's called the Nitefly effect..

He almost made me go buy a RE4 Leon jacket, but then I realised I could not pull it off like him.

Just look at his poses! That smile

Hahahaha..

And I’ve now bought Celeste

Sonic Mania was 2017 lol. Sonic Adventure was 1998 on Dreamcast apparently.

Edit: Oh I see, for some reason the conversation moved on to the first sonic game which I never mentioned purchasing

Do you have anything Bluetooth connecting to it? Headphones? I had a very interesting case where I was using my Bluetooth headphones with it and then turned it to sleep, put it in the case, and put my earbuds in their charging case. 10 mins later I took out the earbuds to use with my phone and they connected to my deck and I think it woke it up! As I was hearing my game sound, I swear I put it to sleep.

This was a concern to me as it was zipped up in the case so generating heat with no ventilation - not good.

I wonder if the Bluetooth controller wake also allows Bluetooth headphone wake in error, which I've never seen before. Hopefully not but can't say for sure, and can't test now as it's going back to valve.

Nope, nothing.
Just tried a factory reset and only doing setup (once with 5ghz wifi, once with 2.4ghz) and both times it still happens. Made a video and everything for support:

On upside, they're sending me out a UK charger at least!

Have you tried Beta or preview firmware?

Also, what is that case on your deck!?

 

[azazl187]

I really need to get one of these. I have 400 games in my steam library.... This would make use of it

I've switched between them and can't seem to find a combination that works. I think I had Preview working for a bit but went to Desktop and back, and it started happening again.
As for the case (and sticker): https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/steam-deck-cases
Not cheap, but super comfy to hold!

Oh it’s a skin, thought you’d fitted a clear front case to it!

Do it. I held off buying one until a couple of days ago but the new OLED ones tipped me over.

 

[Noxia]

60$ for a skin, wtf.

 

[carrot1401]

No it’s the grip case as well! The skin comes in two parts and just covers the remaining front bit of the deck you can see.

Ohhhh ok that makes more sense lol. Oh yeah I didn't notice the other pictures lol.

 

[FrozenShivers]

@Nitefly I had Celeste on ignore on steam. But after reading your posts I picked it up to try on my Steam Deck when it arrives. Better be good!

Celeste is one of the best precision platformers ever created, at it's the current price the value is ridiculous. Perfect game for the steam deck as you get great battery life with it.

 

[Noxia]

**** Celeste, I'd probably get ten minutes in before my slow reactions stone walled me from progressing. I did play it on gamepass I think if it's what I'm thinking where you start off in a house and go to climb some mountain.

 

[Nitefly]

^Yes that’s the one

Here’s a good reasonably ‘spoiler free’ overview for everyone else.

 

[Bluecube]

Yep. Thats me out. Reminds me of Super Meat Boy which nearly resulted in a broken joypad

 

[Nitefly]

Most of the very difficult bits are entirely optional and although there definitely are similarities with SMB, the overall presentation and structure of Celeste makes it feel more like a conventional ‘inviting game of progression’ rather than a cold ‘flash game skill fest’.

… but I’d be lying if I said ‘overcoming the challenge’ isn’t one of the big appeals (and that otherwise aligns with the overall ‘theme’ of the game).

 

[TNA]

Oh yeah. I remember that. Got half way and quit. Got annoying after a while.

If this gets annoying I intend to hold @Nitefly and not my aging reactions responsible!
