- Comment on [Game] Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor gets Steam Deck Verified after an update 8 months ago:
Been loving this game for the last few weeks.
- Comment on ‘House Of The Dragon’ Season 2 To Debut In June, Says Warner Bros. Discovery’s JB Perrette 8 months ago:
Apologies. I woke up in a bit of a mood and went online (my first mistake). Figured you were making a dig at the BoW episode from GoT.
My bad.
- Comment on ‘House Of The Dragon’ Season 2 To Debut In June, Says Warner Bros. Discovery’s JB Perrette 8 months ago:
The first season was actually significantly more vibrant and colourful than that one specific episode of another show you’re referencing.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2024 8 months ago:
Now don’t get me wrong, I may yet go back to it. What I’ve read though…isn’t exactly selling it. Celeste level platforming and a bucket load of boss fights that are significantly harder than what I faced in the main story…
Im a sucker for those hard games, I’ve beaten Cuphead twice, finished Sekiro and Elden Ring…but I’m not sure I want the same things from Hollow Knight you know?
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2024 8 months ago:
I’ve literally only played five minutes (baby woke up) so I can’t really say too much yet. I’m absolutely awful at poker, so I’m not expecting all that much, but … maybe this is the game that changes that.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2024 8 months ago:
So I started (and finished…ish) Hollow Knight. I got the first ending and I was planning on going back for the true ending but now I’m a little out of it, I’m actually not sure I want to go back in and experience the game at its most difficult. I had a real good time, but the difficulty spike is supposed to be pretty huge and that’s not why I went to that game.
Also been playing Death Must Die which is a Hades-meets-Vampire-Survivor game. It’s in early access but it’s absolutely hitting the right spot. I’m probably going to jump off for now though, I don’t want to exhaust my time with the game before it’s out.
Finally, I’ve just picked up the poker game that everyone is currently playing (I can’t remember the name) called Baletro…maybe
And Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors because apparently I like these Auto-shooter things.
- Comment on Tecno Pocket Go is like a Steamdeck that replaces a screen with a wearable display 8 months ago:
Anything that goes over my eyes is going to be a negative for me, and I’d assume many others. The second you take away my ability to see what’s going on in and around me it becomes a difficult sell. Same with VR.
The Deck/Switch/whatever allows me to play my games on the on the sofa whilst my kids watch TV/run around. It allows me to play whilst my family is around me, which is important because if I’m going to essentially lock myself away, I’m just not going to want to play. Which was VRs issue.
Not to mention if you want to play in a public space, on a bus or a train. I can’t imagine ever being comfortable with something that robs me of my ability to see what’s going on in that scenario.

Two months free baby!
- Comment on I've just got an AppleTV+ sub. What should I watch? 8 months ago:
I found Lasso season three to be a pretty sizable drop in quality from what came before. Season two was arguably one of the seasons of comedic TV I’ve ever seen and three, well it didn’t come close to those highs.
- Comment on I've just got an AppleTV+ sub. What should I watch? 8 months ago:
Loved BSG back in the day so I could definitely go for more of that.
- Comment on I've just got an AppleTV+ sub. What should I watch? 8 months ago:
Big fan of those books so I’ll definitely put this at the top of my list. Seems like a pretty fantastic cast as well.
- Comment on ‘Office Space’ at 25: The Unlikely Cult Hit That Had Its Cast “Biting the Inside” of Their Cheeks From Laughter 8 months ago:
Never worked in an office, nor was I old enough to be working when this came out but heck, it’s still super relevant.

- Comment on [Game] MONSTER HUNTER RISE adds new DRM that breaks it on Steam Deck 9 months ago:
How does that work if you’re already over the 2 hours of playtime?
- Comment on I'm in love with this skin. Show off your Decks :D 9 months ago:
I’m assuming there’s more to it than simple taking the case off and switching it all into the new one?
- Comment on I'm in love with this skin. Show off your Decks :D 10 months ago:
This is a thing of beauty. How hard was it to get the case swapped out?
- Comment on [Discussion] How has the Steam Deck changed your habits with playing video games? 1 year ago:
Serious question. Why?
- Comment on [Discussion] How has the Steam Deck changed your habits with playing video games? 1 year ago:
It’s made my Steam collection viable again. I had to box up the PC when we had our second kid, and with it went 400+ games. The Deck has totally gotten me back into that ecosystem again, which is surely what Valve want.
On a personal level it’s totally killed my Switch off (Nintendo exclusives aside). I also find myself playing most of my games on the 'Deck right now, because having the flexibility is apparently something I really enjoy.

Just started Trine 5 and I’m very excited to play this En Garde game that came out a few weeks ago.

Just sayin’ Trine 5 launches today.
- Comment on Over 11,000 games now rated Steam Deck Playable 1 year ago:
I grabbed Dead Space because it was verified and within twenty minutes it became pretty obvious I wasn’t going to be able to play at an acceptable standard.

No joke, Steamworld Heist got me through the first two weeks of being a parent.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023 1 year ago:
I’ve just this evening started playing Hogwarts Legacy. Spent most of my time tweaking it to get it to run as well as I think it can do.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023 1 year ago:
How does Elden Ring run on it? I’ve already played it on Xbox but I’m thinking a second play through might be in order on the Steamdeck.
- Comment on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is Officially Steam Deck Verified 1 year ago:
I bought the Dead Space remake on Steamdeck because it was verified. 30 minutes later and I’ve hit the refund button. I’m cautiously optimistic about this one though.
