Nreal Air and Steam Deck together - quite mind-blowing
8 May 2023 at 1:54 pm UTC Likes: 1

I would love to use them while plugging in a keyboard as well for a main desktop experience to code and work.

Could you try this and update once you got the dongle situation sorted out?

Thanks

Stop mixing magnets with the Steam Deck or face fan and temperature troubles

Quoting: CZiNTrPTI love the magnet on my dbrand killswitch though. Also put my additional sd card on there via magnets.

Just finished switching my delta fan for the better one this weekend (had it used together with killswitch for months now). I don't feel any difference though. If it just breaks the fan in the long term, I'm good with that tradeoff for overall convenience
I agree with you 100%. I haven't checked to see which fan I have, but I haven't noticed any change in speed or heat when the kickstand is on vs off. I absolutely love the case, the plastic cover for travel, and the magnetic kickstand; I am totally fine with the increased risk of heat or wear/ tear. It's too bad there's not more information about the percentage of circulating steam decks with the affected fan, as I'm pretty happy with my current accessories with magnets via dbrand and would love to see more. I guess we'll see what the mechanical attachment feels like soon.
You can also check your steamdecks components on the steam store directly without opening it. It's pretty neat
Link? That is way cool.
Gamingonlinux has an article with link, I always just Google that. It's somewhere under purchases as far as I remember

Steam Deck OS 3.4 Preview adds support for 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless controller dongle

Honestly, since discovering flickstick via steamdeck I can't imagine buying a controller without gyro anymore. Feels downright archaic.

Just today I finally started playing Doom with it and suddenly that game is fun(-ish. I'm not that big on FPS and even less on horror)

Quoting: CZiNTrPTSomebody knows why ² year old crysis 3 has an remaster? What's up with that?
Crysis 3 was released in 2013. It's a lot more than 2 years old.
Thanks, I somehow thought it was 2020

Not sure why they used a squared instead of a proper 2, but remasters for sure are a low effort money grab 90% of the time, as the developers don't actually have to develop new maps and story, etc.

But I think what mosy causes it, games changing hands and the new owners want to make money off of their newly acquired companies. Even Blizzard, bought by Microsoft cranked out Diablo Immortal.
Erm, the square is actually a typo from me. On my mobile keyboard if I press 2 too long it comes out as ²

dbrand issued an update on Killswitch replacements, Dock compatibility and more

I actually like the magnetic kickstand, although I have the "bad" fan. But replacement is on the way. I would prefer them updating the magnetic kickstand (or case) with a sd card holder. So far I'm actually using a magnetic solution to always have my 2nd sd card with my steamdeck

With my order I had black stickgrios and red/blue stickgrips included. I was confused but happy. I think I at least had ordered one set and the second one was the reservation bonus
