overview for MXX53

Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024 in c/[email protected]

[–] MXX53 1 points 1 day ago

Most played was Balatro. Most surprising was fallout 76. I thought I would hate it since is strayed from the others and had micro transactions, but I found it ran really well on the steam deck, surprisingly so, and the micro transactions didn't ruin my experience even though I did not pay for any.

New Decksight update, plus funding time extended in c/[email protected]

[–] MXX53 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I want to upgrade my steam deck, but I am not big on upping the resolution, nor would I choose to go to 16:9 over 16:10. Add to that the 140$ price point (which is probably a totally fair price, just not worth it for me), and this is a hard pass for me.

I just tried tailscale in the last month and it will now be my preferred way to access my services outside of my network.

What skills are needed to self host without too many headaches? in c/[email protected]

[–] MXX53 3 points 5 days ago

The ability to read, and maybe watch a video. And then persistence for some of the trial and error you will run in to. All skills you need can be picked up with the above.

How long has your PC been on for? in c/[email protected]

[–] MXX53 1 points 1 week ago

I turn mine off to save power when I'm not actively using it. I have a small 65 watt server that stays on all the time. Currently it has been up for 3 months or so.

I have similar experiences. I am 6'9" and weight 290lbs. I also have daughters, so I try my best to not be intimidating. Doesn't always work, but at least I can say I try.

Happy birthday Anon in c/[email protected]

[–] MXX53 1 points 2 weeks ago

Works great for me. I hate celebrating my birthday. The People that do know my birthday usually forget with the other festivities. Wins all around.

I've been rocking a 1080ti since launch. Upgraded my 4th gen i7 to a 9th gen i9 on a sale a few years back. SSD upgraded when I got some that were going to be recycled.

Eventually I want to move to team red for linux compatibility. Other than that, I am sticking with what I have. (Doesn't help that I have 2 small children that all my money goes to. )

I actually keep an old used smartphone for just these sorts of things.

I am planning on getting a small tablet to handle this. But, that will be a problem for a much richer MXX53.

Valve May Start Selling Refurbished Steam Deck OLEDs Soon in c/[email protected]

[–] MXX53 5 points 1 month ago

This is the only way I would upgrade my shipment 2 steam deck. At current prices, the OLED is a great deal, just not quite a compelling enough upgrade for me to pull the trigger.

If not this, then I will be eagerly waiting for whatever the true second gen steam deck will be.

Do you use Gnome or KDE Plasma? in c/[email protected]

[–] MXX53 4 points 1 month ago

I started on gnome. Used gnome for most of my linux life. However, after some memory and performance issues, I decided to try KDE. That was about 3 years ago and everything that handles it well and I use a GUI with has been moved to KDE.

picked up the pixel 7, will (eventually) be testing some performance. (self.emulationonandroid)

Hey all,

A while back I made a post requesting any information about emulating games on the Tensor chips from google.

Just recently I broke down and bought the pixel 7.

I will likely be doing some gaming and reporting back here what I find. I will try and aim for the harder to emulate of each of the big console generations that are currently well supported on android.

With that all being said, are there any here that would like any games tested on the pixel line? I have an extensive physical retro game library and have the means to rip the roms from any of them.

Google Pixel Phones and Emulation performance. (self.emulationonandroid)

I am currently a primary iPhone user, however I am planning a return to android in the next year. I always use custom Roms and lately it feels like I will be moving to GrapheneOS which will require me to move to a pixel phone. I have used a pixel in the past with GrapheneOS on a pixel 4a, but I have yet to use a non snapdragon variant.

I know historically, at least it seems, that Adreno tends to get the most development of emulation geared towards it, specifically on the high end. But, does anyone here have experience using Mali on higher end emulators. I see yuzu has added support recently, but I usually stick too my steam deck for Yuzu. Generally I would be curious about AetherSX2 performance, but any level of insight is greatly appreciated!

Either way I will being going with it, so I suppose I can follow up here with my testing and compare it, relatively poorly, to the SD 8gen1 in my tab s8 ultra.
