  Playing a lot of Jump Space and Deep Rock Galactic with friends.

  Single player, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to be my long haul game, and Brotato and Balatro remain my “20 free minutes to game” games

    Didn’t know Jump Space played well on Deck. I’ll have to try it out.

      I wouldn’t say it runs particularly well currently. I play it at 720p lower settings and it will go 50 - 60 fps at several places and times… but then when there’s a ton of action and enemies, suddenly you’re in Jittery High 20s / Low 30s Land.

      But it’s still very fun, especially with friends, and everyone picks their jobs and gets down to business. And it’s early access and early on in its road map… I imagine it’ll just get smoother as they optimize it more over time.

  Fallout 3.

  I spent the time to learn how to make action layers, radial menus, and multi-action keys. It’s great! (Emulating mouse/kb controls)

  • Holding L2 for sights/scopes enables gyro aiming.
  • X button presses Ctrl and Caps Lock at the same time to toggle both crouching and walking. (I will disable Caps Lock once I take the Silent Running perk.)
  • Holding L1 enables an action layer that changes nearly every control:
    • Right stick becomes a radial menu for item hotkeys, 1-8
    • X presses Caps Lock alone to toggle walk-run by itself
    • Y is hotkey 8, which is my hotkey for Stimpack. It’s easier to hit in an emergency than the radial menu.
    • B becomes X (keyboard) for exiting shops
    • Right trackpad become a a scroll wheel for menus

  Stuff like that. Basically, I have every important keyboard key mapped somehow. I have the E key mapped two different ways. R3 for just opening doors and such where aiming isn’t important. And L4 for when I’m using the right trackpad as mouse for carefully picking up individual items like bottlecaps, Nuke Colas and such that are often surrounded by junk, or landmines.

  It’s not as good as a real kb/mouse, but it’s much better than the default XBox 360 controls. Steam Input is so amazing.

  I’m about 90 hours into Silksong. Before that, it was hollow knight.

  Until now, I’d never played metroidvanias or souslikes - mostly idle games, FPS’ and RPGs. I might get more into them now. I’ve been eyeing animal well.

  Recently finished another playthrough of Half-Life 2, and now I’m back on Hades (not 2, waiting for that to go on sale). I’ve just had the first successful run but I’ve got a long way to go before I’m up to the same point I was at on the Xbox.

  Welp, I just played Stardew Valley again 😁

  Finally finished Death Stranding. On to Hades 2.

  Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, got bored about ten hours in and put it down, played Prey (which was fuckin great!) then I went back to cyberpunk and got the taste. I’m almost 200 hrs in at the mo and loving it. Got a couple more jobs to do then I’m starting the Dogtown stuff. Impressive how well it plays on steam deck.

  The Gunk. I played through it on game pass a few years ago. I was just telling someone about it and then saw that it was only like $3 on Steam, so I bought it. It’s so pretty, and looks great on the deck. I love the voice work, too. And cleaning up the gunk feels so therapeutic right now.

  • PrincessKadath@ani.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The Gunk is great. Wish they expanded on the story.

  It’s so silly

  Hades 2 (last achievements) and “I was a teenage exocolonist” to play on my own.

  “Look outside” to play with my spouse, sharing the controller and suffering from the horrible key mapping, but the game itself is nice!

  Playing Metroid Dread right now, not having much fun though might quit and start play Ratchet and clank a rift apart tomorrow if things doesn’t get any better.

  • Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I absolutely love Metroid Dread, sorry to hear you’re not enjoying it much.

  • rollerbang@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’ve played it on the deck way back. Got through about 60% of the game iirc. Then it just got crazy for me and I’ve used a trainer to finish it. For the story. Not getting it one bit. I just can’t invest that much time in each exaggerated boss.

    • mrfriki@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      My biggest complaint is that the emmi zones are annoying and, time-wise are about two thirds of the game. And honestly the zones in between doesn’t feel great either and the three bosses I found so far are kinda repetitive too.

  Assassins creed: valhalla for the big stints.
  And knights of tight spaces for when I think it’s a short stint and ends up playing it for a few hours.

  Just finished Powerwash Simulator 2. Now trying to get my The Outer Worlds savegame from the Switch working on the Steam Deck to play the few DLC missions I skipped back then.

  I just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter yesterday, so I haven’t fully settled into what to play next. I think I’ll go through my installed games and try to finish some games I was enjoying but never finished all the way, like Ys 9 and 1000xResist.

  Mostly 9Kings. One round is typically 20 mins, which suits me

  ESO, but in desktop mode. Otherwise, Disco Elysium when I’m on the go.

  a lot of Hades 2. like a LOT 😅

  quite a bit of modded Terraria and a little bit of WoW every now and then casually.

  Had very little time to play, so it’s:

  • Brotato
  • Snø
  • ΔV - Rings of Saturn

  source
• Water_Melon_boy@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Pacific Drive, Whispers in the wood DLC.

  Finally they added something that will actively chase you and act like a stalker type enemy(stop at nothing). You can crank up both your car and the enemy’s speed to make chasing super tense.

  The atmosphere and sound design are even more spooky, fantastic stuff.

  The story’s main character is a bit chatty, but I think sells the “mad cultist” impression pretty well.

  Performance wise: Using lossless framegen 2x to pull the framerate up from 30 to 60. Pixel rendering in this game is cheap, so no amount of lowering resolution will boost much performance.

  The Last Sovereign, using a walkthrough. Some battles are hard. I had to use a RpgMakerSaveEdit because I didn’t buy enough items and to buy equipment needed for a battle.

  Öoo was a nice quick play. Logic Bombs is a brutal puzzler with a fantastic Gameboy rom included.
