The thrill of building your own PC is unique. It can be frustrating, but it is a lot easier to buy a fully cooked PC than a home made one. If you haven't had the joy of putting together your own PC, it's not as simple as just throwing the components in a tower It is possible to have compatibility issues from your processor to your graphics card. Is your processor going to be increased? Do you think your system needs liquid cooling? Is it possible that it can support liquid cooling.
I used to be a nerd. I would look for sales on components, swap out graphics cards to get the best performance, and just hope for the best. There was a lot of joy when I held my breath and did the right thing on my PC.
More than a decade ago, I left behind a lifestyle. I decided that console gaming was more involved than turning on the console. I was tired of trying to fix something. I didn't regret it since I wanted simplicity. I haven't missed a thing.
I had my hands on a steam deck. This little piece of technology has been written about a lot. I didn't think I'd experiment with it when I got it. I was going to use steam to play some of the PC games I missed.
Someone talked about how they were able to get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to work on their steam deck. It felt like a beacon in the dark. I was blown away by that post. I wanted to figure out how to get as many different platforms' worth of games on my steam deck.
Thanks to my husband, I have a subscription to the game pass. I had to go to the internet to find something. When I first started building my own PCs, I had no idea about Linux or Windows, but I made that work.
Before I tell you how to do this, I want you to know that I am not tech savvy enough to figure this out on my own. The games will run, but don't expect a lot of gaming. I am surprised I haven't had any issues, but it is possible my machine could break at a moment's notice. You need a mouse and keyboard for your deck. This process is a lot simpler because of it.
The instructions for setting up the game pass were provided by microsoft. It worked well for me even though I had a slow internet connection when I traveled. I didn't experience lag or other issues during most of the game.
It doesn't work outside of my local network because it's more complicated. There is a great instruction post on the internet. If you want to add to this, you need to copy and paste the PSN Account ID Base64 script on your deck. I tried to run it on my computer and type it in, but it didn't work. I have played about four hours of Stray this way, and it works better than PS streaming to my iPad, which is choppy and laggy.
The process of this was enjoyable, almost as much as the result. It's nice to be able to play the bulk of my game library on my steam deck, but it's also satisfying to tinker in the back end of the system and just make it work Every time I use one of these features, I feel proud.
All I can think about is what I will do next. Is there a way to play into a switch?
