  • I had to go to the dentist today.

    Just to be in and out in five minutes cause they had to test fit a bite prototype for my new partial dentures (I got new implants this year). I have to go back again in two weeks because the dentist was not happy with the bite so it needs to be fixed off site.

    I was be super pissed if I wanted an OLED Deck lol. I mean I do, but not enough to justify getting one right now as I already have a perfectly good LCD one.





  • This is something the OOG Galaxy application would need to offer support for. A bit of searching and it looks like it does not.

    It’s worth noting you may not need to run the GOG Galaxy client for saves but when you change the executable Steam creates a brand new Proton container/prefix to run the game which won’t have any of those support files from outside the game folder from the GOG Galaxy container.


  • My cousin gave me his Game Boy (the original) for some reason. He lives states away so I didn’t even see him often. I don’t recall why.

    It was my first modern console and I’ve bought the latest Nintendo handheld when it came out ever since. Previously I was only allowed to buy consoles from garage sales (not like I had my own source of income; parents gave me like $1 a week at the time).




  • SD Card should work fine. As one of the tiop guys said it’s a computer.

    I put my SD card I used in my chromebook in my LCD Deck just fine. I had it formatted EXT4 which is a standard Linux FS. The Deck itself likes to format in BTRFS. The only issues I had were from RetroDeck and EmuDeck since they couldn’t find the card and I had to manually provide the mount point since it was different than they expected. I consider that a bug in the software, not the Deck’s fault, and the Deck itself worked fine with it.

    For the SSD I assume you intend to get a small sized OLED Deck and replace the SSD with your existing SSD. In that case I’d recommend checking teardowns to see if the SSDs changed at all between the models first to be sure it will be compatible. Also if your SSD manufacturor (assuming you have a third party one you installed) specifically supports Deck you may want to ask their support if it is compatible with the OLED Deck. They probably know already (whether their support person knows… who can say).

    No guarantee the software on the SSD will be the same; right now the recovery image for Steam Deck is just a single download. If they add a separate one for OLED by release, that’s a sign you’ll need to reimage the SSD or the software might not work properly. You might be able to keep your user data though and just reimage the OS.



  • Raw videos are big. That is not unusual. Typically when recording light compression is used since the type of compression typically desired is time consuming and can’t be done in real time.

    As for file transfer, I find the easiest way is using SFTP/SCP which is built in to Linux, and thus, the Deck,

    Look up a guide to enable OpenSSH on the Deck, there’s a few out there. You need to do this to set up SSH/SFTP/SCP.

    Once you have that on, you can use a tool like WinSCP (my choice) on your PC to connect to the Deck using the username deck, the password you set in the guide, and the hostname you have set in your Deck settings (steamdeck by default). Then you can transfer files in both directions.
