Well, steam support just told me that this isn't possible right now...lovely...

I can't seem to find a way to force the Steam Deck OLED out of HDR mode. CrossCode is a great game but it really suffers from oversaturation of colors when running in HDR. This is relatively easy to fix in Windows by just turning off HDR in the OS settings, but I can't find a way to do that on the Steam Deck. Streaming the game from my PC works, but can't exactly do this when traveling... I've tried to find commands to do this in steam's launch options but haven't had any luck.

Did anyone else just get an email with a $5.99 refund on a wave 1 (or other wave) backpack order? There was no information about why it was given and I haven't heard about it elsewhere. The order wasn't cancelled so it's not a complaint, just a little confusing.

I've been running Windows off of an NVME drive for a few years with no problems, but when I just replaced my old 1080 with a 3080 it briefly booted up to the windows log on screen at low resolution, but restarted a few seconds later with the bios not recognizing that the NVME drive is even present. It can still see my 2 SATA HDDs. I've got a 650W PSU which I know is less than recommended for the 3080, but I can't imagine that this somehow caused a bios problem, or am I missing something? I checked to make sure that nothing was unplugged from the PSU when I put the new GPU in. MOBO is a Gigabyte x470 gaming 7 wifi, boot drive is a 960 evo. Update:. It turns out that the drive is straight up dead. No idea what caused it, the support tech at Micro Center said it looks like it was just unlucky timing that it occurred right after installing the new GPU. The only thing that worries me is that the BIOS settings were all bright back to defaults when this occurred. I also had a similar BIOS reset when I installed a new HDD recently, but no other problems. Should I be worried about my MOBO killing components?

I've been leaning towards the HiFiman Sundaras, but I keep second guessing myself because of the bass roll off inherent with planar magnetic drivers. I'm just not that familiar with what types of sounds are 50Hz and below (just rumbling explosions in movies or will this affect drum lines in rock songs?).

Mostly hard rock, but I enjoy a fairly wide variety of genres (as mentioned above, I've been particularly hooked on One Winged Angel which is blended rock and classical). I've been suspicious that spending more than $400 would have pretty diminishing returns which is why I'm asking for advice, but again, the budget isn't really an issue unless it starts getting more than $800 for the headset itself.

I'm willing to spend $600-$800 (possibly more if there's a compelling reason) on an audiophile grade headphone or IEM (I could potentially be happy with either), I suspect I will also likely need desktop DAC and amp in this price bracket. I mostly listen to hard rock so I definitely appreciate good bass, but I appreciate the rest of the spectrum as well (lately can't stop listening to the FF7 AC version of One Winged Angel ). I suspect the noise isolation of IEMs would be of particular benefit in my case as my kids can occasionally be very loud, but I can find ways to isolate myself if there's a headphone option with significantly better sound for the price (will mostly be listening alone so I'm not worried about sound leak from open back).
