minus-squareZoot@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28·3 days agoProbably not a solution for everyone but the steam deck really got me on SD Cards. An external reader would still suck, but I love how cheap you can find 512gb - 1tb sd cards. Very easy to travel with as well.
minus-squareyermaw@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 days agoDo you run them from the SD cards or just install them onto the main machine from there? Sorry for the Starter questions but ive been out of the non-console game for about 20 years.

minus-squareZoot@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 days agoFor my deck specifically i keep em all on the SD Card, somehow valve made it so that I personally don’t see a difference between nvme and sdcard. For my pc yes, I just use it to transfer to my gaming ssd/nvme storage, but thats primarily because my internet is slowerthan the transfer rates. I probably wouldn’t try running helldivers on my pc through an external card for instance, but it would work perfectly on my deck in that form.
