So glad to see another one of your posts! Encountering these in my feed is like stumbling upon an oasis of casual fun in a vast desert of bleak chaos. Always a pleasure!
I thought you might like to know that your earlier posts inspired me to take my Steam Deck to the next level. I got Heroic Launcher set up and used it to play Art of Rally. Both were good suggestions, so thanks! (But in my case, Art of Rally should probably be called “Fishtail Simulator”) I was also pleasantly surprised that it was able to run the original Wing Commander on the first try, but getting the controls fully mapped and comprehensible seems like a larger undertaking…
Since you asked about games being played: I’m jumping around between stuff a lot lately, but some notable and enjoyable highlights include For the King 2, Guns of Icarus Alliance, The Cosmic Wheel: Sisterhood, and Hexagod.

Oh this is so lovely!
I’m so glad you’re making the most of your Steam Deck, now next up you can look at installing my friend’s project: RetroDECK on your Steam Deck to emulate all the games from the older years! (and if you need any pointers or help doing it, reach out to me!)
I find the same thing with GOG games, and I tend to find myself checking the ‘details’ section of a game’s page to see if it has built-in controller support before buying these days, because my Deck is used mostly for GOG titles :)
