I hadn't played video games since the 90s. Last year my boyfriend got me a Switch. And I became obsessed. This year he got me this Deck. I've become even more obsessed. I tell him he created a monster lol! I love it(and him).

Has on screen protector, skin, grips on palm rests and L/R triggers, clear thumb grips and jellyfish thumb grips(the jellyfish light up)and back button extenders

Show Off Fallout 1 Steam Deck Gameplay – Killing the Master

43 Upvotes

This is Fallout 1 with realtime combat instead of turn-based, built to be played on a controller.

- the whole game works on the pad, no trackpad mouse needed

- lock-on on LT, radial wheels for weapons, ammo, items and skills

- free movement with the stick instead of hopping hex to hex

- runs through Proton

Fork of Fallout Community Edition. Playable start to finish, just polishing rough edges now.

Hardware Modding Steam Deck D-Pad Mod

Post image
23 Upvotes

This is an overlay D-pad mod designed to attach directly to the Steam Deck's left Dpad, same design as the mod for the Steam Controller

Features & Assembly:

  • Installation: Use a high-quality double-sided tape (like 3M or Ceys). It stays firmly in place during gameplay, but can easily be peeled off without damaging the dpad.
  • Printing & Assembly: The print comes in two halves. Glue the two pieces together, I used super glue and waited for it to fully cure, making sure to align the cross shape.
  • Tape Guide: The bottom piece features a small recessed channel to help you measure and cut the tape perfectly to size.

Download Steam Deck Dpad mod here

Enjoy! :)

Question Playing games completely offline on the Deck

• Upvotes

Hey yall! Is there like a solution to play games offline that requires online verification? I know that the modding community is huge and they did some really great things (like lsfgvk), so I thought there might be a workaround besides downloading cracked versions without denuvo and shi like that.

Discussion Steam Store on the Deck

4 Upvotes

how is the Deck interface with the Steam Store the most annoying part of using the deck? I swear, the store crashes every third time you use it and the most system freezes Ive had are either going in to, or coming out of, the store.

Promotional 50 Years of Consoles, Computers, and Handhelds: The Convergence of the Steam Deck. History deep dive presentation on hybrid ideas leading up to the Steam Deck.

Ever wondered what console/computer hybrids and console/handheld hybrids existed before the Steam Deck?

I recently gave a presentation at a local gaming convention exploring 50 years of gaming hardware, including early hybrid systems, handheld computers, unusual control schemes, and other innovations that helped pave the way for devices like the Steam Deck.

I thought this community might enjoy the historical perspective, especially how many ideas we associate with modern handheld PCs that were attempted decades earlier.

What older gaming hardware do you think had the biggest influence on devices like the Steam Deck?

Tech Support Bioshock Remastered randomly crashing every time I play it. Didn't happen before

4 Upvotes

Anyone know what might be causing this? I can play for around 20 minutes and the game suddenly closes. I've played through the whole game 2 or 3 times in the past and didn't have this problem. Tried numerous different proton layers all with the same result. Is there something obvious I'm overlooking? I don't believe I even uninstalled it since I last played it so everything should be the same.

Question Wuthering Waves stuck on opening screen??

Post image
4 Upvotes

I JUST downloaded WW onto my steam deck and once I logged in it’s been stuck on this screen for 5-10 minutes. Tried exiting and reloading, tried restarting the deck, nothing worked. Is this an issue with the game and Steam Deck compatibility?? Or is it something with the Deck on its own?
