A most of the time Japanese>English game translator and writer and all the time dating sim wonk.
Conducting extremely important tests on my Steam Deck, which finally launched in Japan today. So far my main impression is, "Wow, I hate navigating desktop Linux on a controller," but worth it to have a portable PS2 box. 😌
(Also it's a genuine Christmas miracle Fuuraiki seemingly just works on the deck branch of PCSX2??? Support for that has been so broken for so long, you used to only be able to run it on a version from 2009, so I'm genuinely shocked it just worked out of the box!)
The screen looks incredible! Stop Tom, please - I don't want a Steam Deck :S
(I do)
As far as I know, it's nothing fancy aside from the fact you can manually tweak the refresh rate, but yeah, I've been happy with it so far! It's no OLED, but it's still got some pretty decent pop to the colors, which I'm pleasantly surprised by. Definitely gonna see how stuff like Tokimemo looks through it later and really see how it handles bright colors. 😌
dunno if you used it but the plug and play nature of EmuDeck on it, right down to populating the steam library entries with artwork, was really surprising. a lot of work well done
Yeah, it's really cool that it exists! I can navigate around Linux well enough, but as someone who doesn't work in it day-to-day by any means, it's such an immense stress reliever to have something so polished that just does all of the heavy lifting while still giving you a lot of fine control if you want it. Emulation culture owes a ton to devs that put in that sort of UI/UX work to make all of that more accessible than it otherwise would be.
