Have you read about Hydra?
It seems there is a new great piracy problem mostly for Steam
What's with the editing on this one? It seems like someone didn't fully clean up the splices they made in the timeline. :o
ok loser
Probably using audacity, I've been having issues with it lately, I've switched to ocenaudio and been fine.
title is about fixes for the steam deck, had to skip to end to get info about steam deck, thanks for that!
Oh. I'm glad to see you found the chapters. And you're welcome.
There was some weird sound glitches in this episode, just to let you know
I thought It was my Bluetooth headphones lmao
Thanks for this and congrats on the good reviews for your Dudelings!
At 2:37, there's some weird voice mixed in the left channel.
DaVinci has been glitching out when rendering. Sorry.
@@gardiner_bryant its good to get feedback so you can fix issues like this but i don't think it really effected the quality or info that you explained in this vid. also its great to see you on nerd nest you should definitely be a regular on there with the knowledge you have with linux and the sd and everything associated with the gaming community overall
I loved being on the Nerd Nest podcast and I don't think that was my only appearance
Speaking of Proton and CD/DVD stuff, it's been a good while, but the last time I tried to use Proton with a Blu-ray playing app it couldn't find the disc. Wine could. They probably haven't been prioritising physical media drive access, so that stuff would maybe slip under the net, but hopefully that's changed now.
Great to finally see you on the Nerdnest!!
Being able to swap the weapon right sticks or track pads is amazing because they stupidly put the trackpads and joysticks backwards so I'm always configuring the left trackpad to do the stuff I want the right trackpad to do and vice versa. Being able to hit a single button to change that would be amazing
YES! I have been hoping for the L/R control swap across since I got the Deck! Because so many otherwise solid control templates that people share just have opposite stick, triggers, and/or pads than what is actually intuitive to me. So this is great!
I’ll bet $20 PlaytronOS is a fork of Bazzite.
I feel the same way.
I'd like to see a follow up on Sim City 3000, if possible. I actually found my disc when going through my music binder. (I've been trying to sort out stuff that's been stored away for ages)
Bet you’re in your mid 30s too? I miss that game!
do you know if vibrant deck will ever come back ?
now vibrant deck also doesn't work anymore in the previous SteamOS version.
There is another way to transfer files via USB? Because deck mtp is not working
They fixed full screening videos in steam! For the past 6 months if you did that in steam it'd visually glitch out, now it works fine again!
Bless you, brother.
Nintendo realizing that we can play their games better on other devices then on an actual switch is having them freaked out right now they're not just scared they're full I'm freaked out and I'm loving every minute of it. I'm waiting for Valve to shoot the nail in the coffin of every single video game company by coming out with a desktop computer that they call a console just like the Steam Deck but more powerful and stationary.
To other Steam Deck users out there... Do you guys have a problem that the Steam Deck's internal speakers stop working after you have connected it to an external display. I have had it like this for several updates. Only a restart will fix the issue (I connect to my monitor directly via usb-c).... Do other people have this problem with this or is it a specific problem with my setup?
You have the option when you first plug it in. It will be burried in settings
If i try to say much more, the algo will probably remove it.
@@Mob135 I mean, even if I go into the settings and change to "speakers" instead of "External device"... nothing will happen. the UI sounds won't work on the speakers of the device. Not until the device is rebooted... I just found it weird. I have reported it as a bug, but It doesn't seem like it is widespread.
@@PixelShade i use it regularly. If i wfh for the evening I'll plug it in and get back to you but it sounds like you have a problem. Might even be the dongle or monitor 🤔
I experienced something similar. I can't remember how I fixed it, but try going into desktop mode and fiddle with the audio settings.
Hey everyone, including Gardiner! I bought the Steam Deck right when it was released but ended up selling it about three months later. The main reason was the need for extensive tweaking to get it running smoothly.
Now, I'm curious: has there been a significant improvement in the Steam Deck's performance, eliminating the need for constant tinkering to enjoy games? Also, are there any hints or news about a potential new version of the Steam Deck on the horizon? I'm considering buying it again, so any insights would be appreciated!
Even though the Steam Deck is a Consolified Computer it is still a Computer.
If you are running just newer games (not older than 10yo) bought through Steam it will require little configuration aside from in game graphical settings.
Anything other than that will require tinkering because PCs are not consoles.
It does facilitate PC gaming compared to a regular Desktop PC but it's never gonna be full plug and play, unless it goes full console, which is not Valve's intention.
If that's what you want stick with PS5, Xbox and Switch.
@@Rafael-uk2ut Frankly, aside from maybe adjusting my graphical settings, I don't have to tweak anything for the (admittedly limited) games I play on Deck. Emulators work with very little fuss (specifically Dolphin and PCSX2). as well as the following games for some reference:
Rocket League
Celeste
Monster Hunter World
Black Ops 2 Zombies
DiRT Showdown/Rally
Overwatch
Probably some others
Games that run (poorly or with performance issues):
Hunt: Showdown
The Finals
Also probably a couple of others. Admittedly both of these run, they're just intensive games that the Deck lacks the power for
@@Rafael-uk2ut I think I'll give it another shot, thanks for the info :)
I'm still using Yuzu to this day on my SteamDeck and PC! 😂
There are no updates to the steam Deck LCD version
I just want to use HDMI again. Three months ago HDMI stopped working while my wife and I had to stay at the hospital due to my her water breaking 2 months early. It hasn't worked since.
OH its you. I listened to The nerdnest podcast and I had no idea it was you on The podcast even The fact i watched your vids before 😂
No fix for wifi on LCD model
hey lenovo taking notes !!! thx
Also age of empires, that shits a classic on pc. I wish microsoft took their position seriously, its sad what they've done to the industry.
With regard to how little you see of people having XBox consoles, I think this also may have more to do with the circles you run in. Most of the folks I know who don’t have PCs, have XBox consoles. I have several in my home. If we want to make comparisons, Microsoft looks a helluva lot more gamer friendly than Sony… lest we forget the uproar over Helldivers 2 last week. Xbox isn’t a joke… it’s actually pretty great. I can play gamepass games on my Steam Deck through Edge, and it’s pretty good! PS can’t do that.
I appreciate the work you’re doing, even if I do disagree with you sometimes, Gardiner! Also, great work with Dudelings! It’s pretty fun to play!!
Exactly my thoughts. I Just bought the xbos series x, great console, and many games....
I like ODST, thanks.
So playtron is basically Bazzite?
I encouraging people to get together, simple games made in Godot run very good in Steam deck, the raw power of the steam deck lays beyond linux. Indie developers are the future of the gaming industry.
07:58 Tekken 8 wasn't supposed to be playable before?? I played it at launch on SD Proton and didn't even think about it. And it all worked fine, lul
Now that's a mustache folks..
Please tell me they are getting better about fixing black screen of death.
Something is off with the audio in this edit. It's fine, but there are 4 or 5 instances where I'm getting audio from a cut that doesn't match, or audio too early on a J cut, etc.
It's pretty distracting.
nooooo not tango I was so hoping to see another the evil within tittle or spin off
The CZcamsr “Moon Channel” seems to have some excellent and Thorough legal explanations for Nintendo’s actions and motivations. I believe the hypothesis is that they are building a case against all emulation based on the circumvention of copy protections. If you are going to make emulators, keep your head down, don’t try to make money off of it, even through Patreon, and neither break the copy protections nor include Ninty IP. Let users provide their own files for anything Nintendo might feel is suspicious.
By the way steam os 3.6 is in preview its a good update I recommend updating thay got some new features 😊
i bought the CnC games on steam because they don't need to be logged into EA, at least i didn't see anything about that on the store site. and as long as i don't need a second account, or even worse, a second client, i'll buy games that i like. which probably means i wont ever buy ubisoft games again and only old EA-games/remakes, since all their new titles need their client
Yeah im gonna jump on that video/audio skipping train... The beginning of that xbox story, oof... That's bad.
Nintendo maybe winning on yuzu case, but blind against true threat lurking from behind
steamdeck and other gaming handheld are unstoppable right now
soon, they will dominate handheld device section if nintendo didn't have counter measure on it
In regards to playtronOS I question how they are claiming to be running epic launcher when the CEO of epic is on record hating linux and wants nothing to do with the OS.
Nintendo thinks Japanese patent and trademark law extends to the whole world...
“. . . _smash_ that _like_ button . . .”? What channel am I watching?
Hehe. I thought I'd throw that in there for loyal viewers
i never had the xbox one had a 360 but have a PC and a series x is game changing I'm a windows user so i go this way
Playtron sure doesn't have my interest one bit.
I updated and it bricked my steam deck and I had to reset it 😵💫
Pls let Valve know that we need wifi, audio, and Bluetooth drivers for Steam Deck Oled 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Do we not have them?
@@gardiner_bryant sorry for Windows on Steam Deck Oled
@@gardiner_bryant Steam Deck Oled Windows Drivers sorry
In my opinion if there are multiple Crypto companies related to any IP that is a Red flag.
Steam Controller 2!
Dat audio. Maybe I'll subscibe next time
Loved you were on the nerd nest podcast and agree 💯... Especially on grifto-currency and lame-o Ted nugent😅. Hear you on EA but most tax dodging, profit based corporations suck and we need to support those good peeps slaving away and buy the games that we can🎉
When it comes to Nintendo, the answer is always.. because its Nintendo; they've been like this since emulators and fan projects existed; they're rabid dogs. There is some legal requirement to protect an IP, but they have always gone nuke-from-orbit approach. As someone who built some of the first emus, we saw it then, we felt it then, and always will keep feeling the Nintendo pain :/
My take is they take it as a personal offense that their ridiculous attempts to circumvent emulation inevitably lead to advancements in emulation.
@@fawkesandhound I think they're not that self aware; like fan projects that lovingly refer to or extend or mod or clone their games .. Law says 'protect your IP', and Nintendo is like 'okay, kill their families, their puppies, everyone they ever knew, thats what you mean right?' .. theres a space betrween doing what they have to do and what they actually do, and they dont' care to look for that space :/
I just guess almost no one with a steam deck will install playtron ;-D and almost no one will install it on a rog ally or other windows devices. So for whom is playtron actually? loool
Hello TLG
I’m still mainly on the deck, but I just switched back to PlayStation and got a ps5. Xbox is moving their games to other platforms, no upcoming exclusivity that I can thing of, and Xbox it sounds like even they stopped believing in the consoles.
I wanted Microsoft to acquire Blizzard because they both have the same fundamental problem. They either figure out what they are doing wrong and change, or they collapse all at once and sell off assets to those who know better.
If anyone having issues with switching to desktop mode in steam deck uninstall decky recorder.
If they kill bethesta before elderscrolls 6 comes out I am coming for you Microsoft!
Bethesda did that to themselves.
I wish if you went to delete. Version of proton it would tell you what games are using it when it doesn’t let you delete it. Idk proton 9 downloaded and for whatever reason I couldn’t remove it despite none of the games in my library using proton 9. I have games that use proton expirmental sure but not 9
Just crashed everything I have
Is sad that Nintendo is going after emulators from my perspective the problem Gabe solved it the problem is, piracy is a service issue, not a price issue, if Nintendo decides to add the games to Steam I would buy it rather than using an emulator, and I plan to stay on regular GNU/Linux distros to play over playtronOS the blockchain on games is so gross is not a tecnology optimised for games I use cryptocurrency "as currency" the only thing that I want is an option to pay for my games with crypto like Bitcoin Cash nothing more, no blockchain games, play to earn and those strange things that are ridiculous
I just hope that we gat Fallout 5 before Bethesda gets murked by Xbox.
They shouldn't release things during the summer, that's when people need to be outside living life
As opposed to the other three quarters of a year where your life is just on pause? 😂
@@gardiner_bryant 😂😂 I just meant some people already spend so much time on gaming, that they need to take some time out and enjoy life also
Crypto Bro's in, I'm out
It really sucks that a lot of good people lost their jobs. But we have to stop acting like this doesn't happen in all industries. There's a period of growth where new companies pop up like weeds and everyone is happy. But then there's a culling, the fat gets trimmed, and the business becomes leaner and pivots. Thee the growth starts again, and the cycle continues all over again. We have to stop sensationalizing this and blaming the big company. This is how all of our favorite games came to be. They developers were working some place else. There were shake ups and then they left. They started their own game studios and poof! Our favorite games were created!
Microsoft has been spending billions of dollars to acquire studios left and right just for them to shut them down. This is not "the natural order," this is Microsoft engaging in anticompetitive behavior.
It's important to remember that we all live in bubbles! For example in my bubble everyone has an XSX except one person and only a couple have PS5s. I personally prefer Xbox as a platform because IMO it's better that its console competition in every way. Sony makes better games but Xbox is a better system with better features and usability. I'm not a fanboy though so I also own a PS5, Switch, Deck, Ally, etc, etc, etc but I play most of my games on Xbox & PC.
All that being said Xbox has REALLY dropped the ball on games for the last, idk 10 years or so, this most recent move being particularly baffling. It reeks of a decision based solely on numbers by people with no real connection to the business. Either way though, it's an absolutely horrible look for Xbox and NOT what they need at all. It's going to be super hard to come back from this. Trust in the brand is plummeting and the backlash has been tremendous. I can't imagine any response they could give that would satisfy anyone. Closing the studio that made the best, most critically acclaimed game you've produced in the last decade, especially so soon after and with no follow-up game is just mind boggling.
Dudelings looks pretty rad Gardiner. Congrats and I hope it's a success for you!
youtubes best ned flanders cosplayer
Comment for the algorithm.
When I hear crypto, i imagine them using my hardware power to mine coins without my permission
Regarding Phil Spencer, I will not be caught dead defending billionaire CEOs but his job is not easy. I think he has business vision and his ideas are interesting. XBox series S with game pass is the cheapest most bang for your buck way to get into gaming bar none. 250 bucks and you get a current gen console capable of outputting 4k and capable of running all AAA games at 30 fps. With gamepass you have hundreds of games you can play for a while and buy those you like. You can go into dev mode and turn it into an awesome emulation machine and you can run Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 games natively.
But it doesn't matter because as phill Spencer noted, they lost the console war on the generation that mattered the most. What he doesn't say is that they lost it due to poor vision and planning and relying on gimmicks (kinetic) to sell consoles because previous CEO saw the Wii sales numbers and had a massive orgasm so obviously they had to copy it.
So in essence, Phil Spencer is trying to consolidate and shore up microsoft's gaming division and trying to push his IPs. Starfield was a good one. Sold a lot. Far more than it deserves imho. But it sold systems as well. Again, massive uphill battle for him.
The convergence of hardware between PlayStation and Xbox is the reason they continue to lose. Offer something game changing, exotic, and unique. And let your devs make games for IP that people actually care about. Sony does it right. Microsoft doesn't even seem to try.
@@gardiner_bryant the problems of playing catch up. Not helped as they just close studios that have a lot of potential. And that is where CEO mindset comes to play. He should be firing studio CEOs not devs.
Yuzu code base may be called toxic, contaminated, etc. But playtron OS just gives me the ick.
Couldn't agree more
crypto + os = nope.
Ok Gardiner Bryant, I have to ask, why did you bring Ted Nugent into your rant? I don’t get it. And your meme made no sense to me “One of these cowboys ran his company off a cliff. The other is Ted Nugent”. I don’t think either one of them is a cowboy, and if one of them is Ted Nugent, the other guy is the one who ran his company off of a cliff, but then you make derogatory remarks about Ted Nugent. I’m lost here, can someone explain it to me? Thanks.
Because Phil Spencer looks like Ted Nugent. What did I say that was derogatory to Ted Nugent?
@@gardiner_bryant personally I don’t see the resemblance, but that’s just me. You said “corporate bazzaro Ted Nugent”. It seamed to me that you were attacking Ted Nugent for some reason, but now I think I understand. Thanks for the reply. 😁
Only Gears, HALO and Forza. So Age of Empires, and the Fable series never happend.
Because halen, geassisteerd and age are active, and a New Fable is underway.
Please get the facts straight.
Did they add Steam broadcasting yet? or it forever going to miss one of Steams main features. You can pick up any competitor and do broadcasting, you can install windows and do broadcasting. You can remote play on the steam deck but you can't do broadcasting. 2 years after its release. what a joke.
Who tf cares? They have done so much stuff and so many features. You are the only one I've seen that has complained about this. Grow up and use something else if it is such a problem.
Literally have never heard about this feature, seems pretty whatever honestly.
I don't know a single person who uses steam broadcasting. sure it'd be nice to have the option in the rare situation someone does but it's absolutely not a priority feature by any means.
@@AidenAlias ok, well you know someone who likes to use it now.
@@Relyinglemming6 i care, thats why i commented about it. grow up and understand that you'd expect Steams features on The deck made by Valve.
Beating a dead horse. The deck apu is outdated AF
And I suppose the SNES's CPU is also outdated. 🙄
@@gardiner_bryant absolutely it's outdated, look I like DS games and understand that was a console. PC is NOT a console performance matters. I owned a steam deck for a couple of weeks and the performance was shit Rog ally is better. We need a steam deck 2 for decent 1080p gaming. And no 720p is useless in 2024 especially when both my laptop and phone have 4k screens. 1080 is a minimum. I do absolutely like steamOS and I use Linux on all my computers and servers. Healthy criticism is valid and good. Echo Chambers are not.
I don't think that matters. You do not buy a handheld for the power. We have laptops for that. Ease, portability, and good games are the reason to buy a handheld.
@@darkkrus6287 it absolutely matters. Hence so much competition from the likes of the Rog ally. Steam deck fans can cope
First, hardware performance *doesn't* matter. The fact that there are so many _other_ handhelds that offer greater performance and have, combined, sold fractions of a percent as many units as the Deck proves it.
Not to mention the Deck has a custom OS and driver stack and a fully bespoke APU that, together, sips power and facilitates handheld gameplay. Meanwhile the others violently cram a mouse-and-keyboard OS down their user's throats? It just shows how little these other companies care about your experience.
Furthermore, the fact that so many studios are still specifically targeting the Steam Deck shows that the typical PC Gamer's obsession with "performance" is wrongheaded. It also proves that the semi-annual hardware refresh cycle is an unsustainable marketing gimmick and not a necessary "innovation" that it pretends to be.
Finally, the SNES continues seeing new software releases to this day. Plus, modern hardware like the **8-bit Guy's** Commander x16 is proof positive that it's the software developer's responsibility to make performant games, not the hardware developer's job to make better chips.
I don't think cryptocurrencies are inherently a scam. I do think that all the uses of cryptocurrencies I've seen in games have been very scammy. The only use I've seen that hasn't been is straight up buying a game with cryptocurrency.
All the NFT stuff in games that I've seen has been, and I'm very skeptical that there could be any use of an NFT in a game that wasn't a scam.
Xbox is a joke. Even for Microsoft studios it's better to sell games on PS5. Also gamers prefer to buy games for more. It's in all best interest for Xbox to die. Now, imagine this scenario: the moment Xbox dies, Sony ups prices of all games by 30%, you know why? Because a joke competition is better than none.
Random CZcamsr says boss of multi billion dollar company that he doesn’t know what he’s doing 😂😂. Seriously dude.
Random CZcamsr who is capable of looking at the facts uses his powers of observation to determine that the boss of a multi billion dollar corporation is in fact a moron, much like the rest of his seditious corpocratic compatriots are.
Crypto is a scam and feels dirty...
Also as far as I am concerned, crypto is a scam
Nintendo sucks.
Literally a vid about nothing
Your definition of "nothing" is specious, my friend.
I don't really care too much about studios being shut down. The people who worked in those studios are still alive. If their studio is being shut down their non-compete clauses are void. They can start a new studio, ideally one with private money so they can make games that they want to make. You don't need to be affiliated with Sony or Microsoft to release games. Not on Steam, and not on Xbox or PlayStation either. Making games is not like making cars, you don't need millions or billions of dollars in real estate and machinery. You don't need long term contracts with materials suppliers who may already be beholden to other big manufacturers. Video game studios can pop up over night like mushrooms. Smaller, less corporate studios are better for producing interesting games. The big main stream boring same old same old franchise games will still be produced by the big studios, and we get more smaller, more unique games to play. I just can't get myself worked up over it.
