• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay for 2024 is live, includes Steam Deck specific stats⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to sum mine up it was Isaac on the Steam Deck and Tabletop Simulator on Linux. And a bunch of other stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[help] Getting my first steam deck tomorrow⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My boring advice is to spend a few weeks using it as it is out of the box: just play your favorite games on it.
  After a while you might get a sense of what you would like to change (if anything) and then you can research how to go about it.

  For casual games on the Deck some my most played are The Binding of Isaac (most hours by far), Brotato, Deep Rock Survivor, Slay the Spire, Balatro, Dead Cells, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Shotgun King. But there are so many good choices, it really depends on your taste.

  It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.

  The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.

  I picked this up about 2 months ago. Took me about 100 hours before I could put it down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Double discussion this month, what games did you buy for your Deck during the Steam Sale, and what are you playing on Deck right now? - July 2024⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Backpack Battles. It’s an inventory management based auto-battler. Chill game and I like spatial puzzle a lot.
  The game uses the Godot engine and it runs great on the deck. The UI is very smooth and thoughtfully designed.
  A neat thing about the battle system is that it’s fully asynchronous. No matchmaking delay and it even works offline. I believe it works by preloading a number of opponent-builds at the beginning of the run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you still use your Steam Deck much?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Too much if I am honest about it. Currently obsessed with DRG: Survivor and I’ve put in an embarrassing number of hours in the last couple weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a few days ago and I’m now 20 hours in, really enjoying it. It’s a very thematic translation of the original DRG into a survivor game. The terrain and mining are a great addition to the survivor formula, it’s not only for resource collection but it also gives a new twist to the positioning puzzle. The game seems very well suited for more content so I hope that it will keep coming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Solution To Web Browsing (in Qutebrowser) And Text Input Without Touchscreen Keyboard Or Mouse (piggybacking on Vim keybindings)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great idea!

  I’ll probably stick with Firefox but I will set this up using the Vimium browser extension which has a very similar hint based link selection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨System Shock remake 1.2 update massively improves performance on the deck, and comes with better controller support⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently on sale for $17.99, new low.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favorite games for traveling?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Traveling right now and I am playing Dead Cells. It’s gentle on the battery and I am fairly new to the game so lots to explore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2024⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally picked up Dead Cells from the current sale. I play a lot of roguelikes/lites but never been much into Castlevania so I was skeptical. But a few hours into it I find myself enjoying it more and more. It feels good to get better at it which is a key ingredient for great games.

  The game is perfect for the deck, gentle on the battery, works great at the screen resolution, excellent controller support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to Steam Deck and PC gaming, I'm looking for game recommendations...⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Brotato is a perfect game for the Deck and it’s my favorite from the “auto shooter” genre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These shell swaps really do be taking 5 hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  100-200 of screws then? No wonder it takes so long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Review] DeckHD: 1200p Screen Upgrade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Add ergonomics, controller quality and the trackpads on top of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was used to the standard layout from playing on the desktop so I didn’t even bother to look at alternatives: move with left stick, shoot with buttons, activate items with triggers and bumpers.

  I am curious which part are you unhappy with. Should be easy to customize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been on a Binding of Isaac binge. I thought that I had my fill with it over the years but the deck has really put a new life into it. It’s a perfect fit. And I am finding myself playing it again even on the desktop. I thought that I wasn’t gonna need Repentence but I guess I will have to get it now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hades on Steam Deck is a blast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Brotato is worth checking out too especially for those who enjoy Vampire Survivors. Plays very smoothly on the deck.
  In both Vampire and Brotato I make the right stick act as left too, nice to be able to switch hands any time.
