kermitthehedgefrog: He’s asking too many questions. Someone take him out.
I’ve beat minesweeper 10 times… I’m the ultimate gamer thank you very much.
blusrus: That’s what I love about console gaming, works from the get go and no need to play about with any settings
ElDuderino2112: And as someone who can’t be assed to waste my little free time tinkering with nonsense like that, I thank you all for your service
lalolanda2: But how many of you are game lurkers? I read and watch things about games but never play or tinker with them
actually I don’t even own a steam deck
Eceleb-follower: It’s ok to stop gaming btw. Most people grow out of their hobbies at some point.
yellow-go: I mean, I’ve been used to being the test monkey and gamer for a long time now. Given that I play on lower to midrange systems, this isn’t that new to me, though it can get irritating sometimes.
Dragomier: I feel so called out
mattumanu: I mostly tweak games by changing the Proton version if they don’t work as they should. Other than that, I’m playing the game.
onehundredcups: You know how nvidia’s GeForce experience has a scan games then optimize games? Why doesn’t steam deck have that? I just download and play the games, I should be changing settings? They seem to generally just work.
merlineatscake: Lots of games automatically detect your hardware and configure themselves already anyway. You won’t usually get the best performance leaving it on those settings, but it’s enough for most gamers I think.
alex_de_tampa: I’m not a tester you’re a tester ! 😂
allisun1433: I don’t tweak things 😅 But also I’m not the most tech savvy person, and I just get on my SD (or insert other device for gaming of choice here) and go play the game 😅😂
Kaizo107: I get the tinkering fix from modding, so while I do spend a lot of time doing back-end shenanigans, it’s not really what I consider “game testing,” it’s more “finding the perfect experience for a handful of games and then sinking thousands of hours into them”
Slyfox2792004: no thanks. I just want to game. Ive given up on retro gaming after 3 hours of trying to figure it out. makes steam deck little less worth cost but still have xbox remote play and steam games.
shmi: I call it the deck mini-game… Explained it to my.wife tonight and she rolled her eyes at me and chuckled, which is how I feel about it too.
