| and it makes Steam Deck the best console ever made. i picked up Darksiders 3 a few weeks ago to play on my deck. at some point i realized i was pretty underleveled but i didn’t wanna grind. so, opened chatgpt in desktop mode and uploaded my save, asked it to write me a script to set my souls/xp/money to whatever number. it analyzed the save and spat out a bash/python script. after a chmod +x it worked flawlessly. done from bed took like 15 mins to figure it out end to end. no other what other (handheld) console in history combines the depth of library, the slick console experience, and also lets you chmod +x. |

| chmod +x makes it executable. Also, at this point just use a trainer |
| |
| ▲ | jitl a day ago | parent [-] | | a trainer takes more work and substantially worse security. i can code review 40 lines of shell+python at a glance cannot say the same for most general purpose trainers |

| Out of curiosity, why didn't you just ask chatgpt to modify the save file directly? |

| The steam deck is way too under-powered to be "the best console". Best handheld, maybe, if you really value portability. |

With significant dropping of settings across the board, with 30-40fps at best and frequent drops into sub <20fps during the action. That may count as "really well" depending on your definition I suppose. I wouldnt tolerate it, but i'm sure many would/do. | | |
| ▲ | matheusmoreira 16 hours ago | parent [-] | | Definitely impressive for a handheld. The "really well" is calibrated for the hardware. | | |
| ▲ | theshackleford 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | > Definitely impressive for a handheld It’s just hard for me to be impressed by one of the weakest entries from both a performance and image quality point of view. It’s all subjective though so if others do find it impressive, all the power to them. I actually think the SW2 port is the most “impressive” handheld experience I’ve seen so far. Given its a superior experience “out of the box” as it were. |
