I’ve had my 512gb LCD since January of 2023 and it still has 100% battery health.

Past two weeks have been such a roller coaster that I don’t even know. Thankfully I have therapy in the morning so I hope I can get the help I need to get this sorted. Things seem to be happening back to back to back that it feels, at times, that I don’t get a chance to breathe.

The creator mentioned why on the discord mentioned in the post above. The jist of the reasoning is cost.

That’s completely fair. Not every mod for the steam deck is for everyone.

The reason it isn’t available in the EU, yet, is that it isn’t CE certified.

For me: I want to do a shell swap, upgrade the SSD, and change out the buttons and thumb sticks. I may as well upgrade the screen at the same time. I was initially looking at the deck HD screen, but that mod seems to be in a really bad place since they shut down their email servers, and customer support is non-existent even on their discord server. Then I saw this and decided that it was worth the $40 more than it would be to buy just a replacement screen from iFixit. I have pressure damage on my LCD screen and I want to keep this particular piece of machinery as long as possible.

I went ahead and backed it. I am slowly amassing everything I need for a complete shell swap (and other bits and bobs to mod my deck - last things needed are a bigger SSD and a SSD enclosure to clone the drive/use the original as external storage). If this gets funded, I’ll just wait until I get it in May and just not have to worry about detaching the stock screen and reattaching it to the new shell. If this doesn’t get funded I’ll just order a replacement screen from ifixit.

I use the Logitech Pop keyboard and their MX Ergo trackball mouse. Found a case for my keyboard, and it’s slightly wider than the deck.

Yeah… It’s weird to wrap your head around. Didn’t have a special night down in the southern bible belt but they do here in the midwest.

Thanks! I guess I missed that bit when I initially set it up. I’ll try this out. :)

Does anyone know of a similar alternative? Junk Store only covers Epic unless you donate. I know I could use Lutris and/or Heroic and manually add the non steam games that way. I do like the ability to see them in the non steam tab on my deck in gaming mode.

I don’t have a useful answer, but I commiserate with you. Last time I went to one the lady in the drive through really REALLY tried to keep pushing that coupon book on me. No. I don’t want it. We don’t come by here that often. I don’t care if it’ll save me money now because it won’t in the long run.

Honestly, it left a really bad taste in my mouth with how pushy she was after I repeatedly said “no.”

Thank you for sharing this! I haven’t booted up my PS5 in months… Can this be used without their monthly subscription thing? I didn’t see that mentioned on the remote play website, so I figured I’d ask the stupid question.

I feel called out 😅

I have had whatever number of tabs open on Firefox mobile where it stops giving you a number and you get the ∞ symbol…

Bought several to share through Family Beta, but the two for me were Bravely Default II and Catlateral Damage. Played the first two Bravely games on the DS, and the other game I got just looks like fun.

As for what I’m playing? Backlog 😅 When I’m in the mood for story rich I’m playing Death Stranding. When I’m in the mood for just something fun I’m playing Peglin.

I have not

I’m using a pair of Corsair HS55 via Bluetooth without any issues. Got them on sale cheap-ish and I’m happy. Only used the mic when I’ve had it connected to my phone and been told there’s no noticable difference between the headset mic and the phone mic.

Forza Horizon 4 - I had to search to the acronym

Your best fit is… Outsider Left … along with 10% the public

Almost daily. I have treatment resistant radial styloid tenosynovitis so when that flares up nothing is easy to play.

Initially the games were those on the lighter side, but now I’ve moved on to more graphically intensive games (sometimes having to tweak settings, sometimes not).

When I want a bigger screen I bust out the dock and set up the portable monitor I bought for it - and, depending on what I’m playing I’ll either get out the mouse and keyboard or the controller.

I don’t have a set space for my setup so having the ability to pack up everything is a huge plus.
