Haven’t seen a post like this recently so I thought I’d start the conversation !
I’m close to finishing Wario Land 3 (emulated GBC), which was the game of my childhood, I’m surprised of how tricky some levels are.
I also started playing The Eternal Cylinder but it’s quite a demanding game so I’m thinking of playing it on PC instead
Started Baldurs Gate 3 a few months ago and just recently started to get more play time.
I picked up Tunic on the summer sale and am finishing that up.
A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…
I just modded my Switch, and tomorrow I’m gonna try to get Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom dumped and working on my Deck
A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…
You’re in luck - it’s fully possible to get Balatro to run on mobile: github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker
It runs quite well and is a very good fit for playing on mobile. The only downside I know is that it drains your battery like mad.
I too am addicted to Balatro. I made progress though as I installed RDR2. But afterwards right back to Balatro.
Try the Steam Link app from your phone. I haven’t tried it with Balatro but I think it worked fine with Slay the Spire.
I’m playing two games at the moment:
Yet another run in Nier: Automata, first time in steam deck. It runs surprisingly well.
Stardew valley. For steam deck it’s a killer game - 8-9 hours on a battery, perfect for resting.
I also have Snowrunner and Vampire Survivors as my go to games.
Nier: Automata, first time in steam deck. It runs surprisingly well.
It’s a story that’s been told here before, but one of the major projects that makes the Steam Deck work (DXVK, which converts DirectX in Vulkan for Proton) was made because a guy really wanted to play Nier Automata on linux.
It’s one of the games I missed when it came out and it’s on my backlog for a while. Good to know it runs well on the deck!
Haven’t seen a post like this recently so I thought I’d start the conversation !
We normally do a “what are you playing” discussion post at the start of each month, so the next one would have been posted in a couple days. This post is taking off though, so I’ll go ahead and feature it and we’ll use it instead for the month of August.
On a side note, we’re always looking for more routine discussion topics if anyone has any suggestions.
Ahhh that’s on me, sorry for being too impatient !
Thanks! I appreciate it
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
How does it run ?
Some issues, with textures poping in, but that’s supposed to be normal. It sits at around 60fps.
Steam Deck related community reports how the game runs can be found here: www.protondb.com/app/379430?device=steamDeck (note you can change the displayed reports to being only Deck, PC or both).
Said it before and I’ll say it again - one of the most underrated games ever!
need to get to trying it pronto
Lately I’ve been playing Pseudoregalia. It’s a really good game. It’s a 3D platformer in the style of N64, with super fluid movement.
Pseudoregalia was fantastic
Mortuary Assistant and the Outer Wilds while I was on a trip without internet access last week. Both played great at heavily restricted TDP.
Tdp?
Just understand it to mean power the system is being allowed to draw, here. It actually means a lot more, but that’s all you need for this.
Fury of the Furries
New Vegas. At some point I took my save from my PC and copied it over since zi didn’t feel like playing as my level 6 new character on hard difficulty survival mode. I’d rather play my melee build character who now has an insanely fast war club that can take out individual death claws without backup with only a 50% chance of death, assuming vats allows me to knock one down.
That, and games like GemCraft: Frostborn Wrath, Isles of Sea and Sky, and trying to get back into Brok the Investigator so I can try and get all endings completed before the eventual DLC release.
Manor Lords.
Plays really well but as one reviewer put it, it gets old after 20 hours or so.
That said, the early access bit is done well in that the content that is there works pretty well, and you can see placeholder for the other features being worked on.
Like right now it’s maybe like 25% of the full game, but that 25% works well and you can clearly see what’s coming.
Pretty much just Zenless Done Zero and Hades II for the past month or so.
And a bit of Terraria with the boys.
I have recently gone to replay Dishonored. It worked great, so now I’m continuing with Dishonored 2, which I had abandoned after like three missions the last time. It’s loads of fun although D2 crashes from time to time for me. No big problem with the frequent saving I do anyway.
Mostly just working through my “I should get around to playing this” list. Hades, Dome Keeper, Loop Hero and Whisper Squadron: Survivor.
so much Elden ring
I think i was close to 400 when i started going for completion, and then i played more RIGHT up to the 400 mark and quit until sote, now I’m getting close to 600 and I’m just exploring and fighting hippos, I’m actually really pumped to get into ng+ now, i haven’t done any of that yet for some reason… in ds3 i was like ng10 lol
Finished Disco Elysium recently. I enjoyed it despite it not being my typical type of game. The story kept me guessing and at times it was funny. I’m sure there is some replay ability there with different specs and choices but I’m not too bothered as I have other stuff to play.
Next up is the prison dlc for deus ex mankind divided. Finished the main game a while back but heard the dlc was decent.
Disco Elysium is one of my favourite games I’ve ever played, I alternated between Steam Deck before going to bed and PC once I was hooked ; what an incredible story and depth of lore
Chrono Trigger SNES.
It’s on my must play list for this year. RIP Akira Toriyama
Great game
Oh yeah definitely. Haven’t played it in probably 20 years so it’s about time I revisit it and remember the legend.
I only remember bits and pieces but so far it’s fun. I’ve only gotten past the first boss and Frog left my party.
Every few years I start getting emulators setup but then give up. Wanted to setup on Raspberry pie, Nvidia shield, and now maybe steam deck is next.
Quickly played the storyline of Detroit: Become Human through for the first time, some Dishonored for nostalgia and fell back to playing the PS2 games I never had the console for back when I was a child.
Most of my recent hours have gone to Rayman 3, and there’s a big heap of PS2 games to go through after that. I’ve noticed PCSX2 doesn’t consume much battery, so my typical travel games tend to be PS2 games as well.
The Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Always wanted to play it and it’s awesome on the Deck. Only took a little bit of tinkering.
Are you an Adoring Fan?
To be honest, I thought this was spam for a moment until I checked your post history and realized you’re the motor town guy. I guess it’s been too long since I played Oblivion for me to not immediately recognize the reference.
-Pathfinder: WotR -Armored Core 6 -Elden Ring DLC -Once Human -WH40k: Boltgun -No Man’s Sky
I hop and drop games pretty easily hahah
I’ve been all over the place:
Dicey Dungeons and Wingspan.
Wingspan is chefs kiss.
like damn I love birds
Every time I tell myself I’m done with Brotato…it sucks me back in.
I’ve got 3 or 4 characters left to beat on Danger 5 before I can finally set it down forever and play something else!
Good luck!
Predecessor
Added 6 more mods to my Stardew Valley. That should be alright. It’s not over 200, luckily.
…yet !
Also, make sure to post a modlist if you find a good mix you like!
This list excludes dependencies and replacer portraits.
It is still a valley at that point? I feel like you totally filled in the valley with mods piles of mods.
There are people with 400 mods so your statement would be true.
Kingdom rush alliance (yes it is out, go play it)
Dink Smallwood and various dmods.
Sonic 3 AIR, and the Sonic 8bit Remakes because my daughter can’t get enough Sonic.
I just this afternoon rolled up a new character in Stardew Valley.
Balatro
Children of Morta
Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2
Mars First Logistics
Mega Man X, basically finished am just to stupid for Sigma.
Pokemon Unbound, a Romhack for Pokémon Fire Red, probably my favourite Pokémon game. Enemy Trainers are way better than they were in the official games so some fights actually require thinking.
Elden Ring, started a new play through for the dlc, have not entered the new area yet, but my last play through is more than a year past and i’ve forgotten way more stuff than i thought so even the old areas feel pretty fresh again. and while i still love the game, but damn it fromsoftware quests should be more than bumping into an npc in random locations where they have some cryptic thing to say and then bumping into them again later for more cryptic stuff.

Tunic. Playing it filled me with a sense of wonder and discovery reminiscent of the first time I looked at the map of the original NES Legend of Zelda. Amazing experience. I’m in the final chapter of the game but not finished yet.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 months ago
Tunic is great, I reached the end awhile back but have been slowly going back and chipping away at some of the final puzzles. It kinda feels like two separate games, there’s the initial Zelda-like with a moderate share of puzzles, but once you get to the end you can mostly drop the Zelda parts and it becomes a top down version of the Witness.
AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 3 months ago
I just got ending A. I pretty much knew what “Take your rightful place” was going to mean, but seeing it happen was pretty bleak. Makes me want to do the other ending now.
Junkernaught@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
That’s a great game with so much hidden shit and things to work out.

Tunic looks lowkey stunning visually, I need to try it.

Amazing game… I’m still trying to figure out that damn gold door thing lol

It’s a hell of a ride, and just the right length too IMO
