I started with Oddworld N&T and then Darq and Limbo and Inside. I love the art style and I’m still learning how to look for more similar games!

I’m closer to 50 than I want to be and getting a deck almost a year ago has been so much fun. I have a pretty capable desktop and game on Linux sometimes but now I’m actually getting into games in a real way on the deck because it’s so easy to pick up and put down at any time. Also finding a renewed love for platformers and other game types that I haven’t touched in decades.
I think part of what hits so good is Steam as a company seems to really give a shit about players and it shows. Been using a Steam controller I got off Craigslist for almost 10 years and it still works perfectly. I’ve never even considered buying a console because it all seems so exhausting and profit driven and locked down in dumb ways. Having this little portable Linux machine opens a whole new thing.

Yeah I got the bundle a couple weeks ago and couldn’t put them down. Def keepers!

Just played Limbo and Inside back to back and they’re such amazing games holy eff. And perfect for the deck.

Was surprised to see that GTA-V gives me over 6hrs of play on a charge on the OLED with 45fps/90hz and half-rate shading enabled so played a bunch on that for old times sake. Going to get RDR2 on sale this week to keep scratching that Rockstar itch.
Finally figured out how to get Assassin’s Creed - Syndicate running on the deck and this is such a great game, my first in the AC series.

This kinda describes where Linux has been at with sleep/hibernation for quite a few years. I don’t understand the deeper implications but it’s never seemed like a priority for Linux devs, vs how Windows and Mac have solved it long ago. Maybe because Linux hasn’t traditionally focused on portable devices but arm (etc) seems to be changing that.

This is good intel actually. I used HoloISO for a long time on my gaming rig but I never thought to mess around with those settings because I’ve always just thought of Linux battery use as ass (have run various distros on tons of different laptops as well). Would be good to take the deck deeper hibernation settings for a spin, but it would be kinda a shame if the deck devs haven’t already explored these things in ways I’ll never understand as a lay user, frankly. You’d think they’d be tweaking this stuff mercilessly for the UX and battery life.

Thanks for that. I’ve been thinking of it as a sleep/hibernate function but obviously it’s not. Linux still hasn’t seemed to figure that one out for some reason. Not Steam’s fault.
- Comment on Is it normal that my OLED discharges 20% per day in standby? 5 months ago:
Thank you. Was wondering if mine was normal in this way after having it for over six months.

Bluetooth is disabled, as is the Wi-Fi antenna. Which I always do with any devices I turn things off that I don’t need.
- Comment on Is it normal that my OLED discharges 20% per day in standby? 5 months ago:
Thanks yeah I figured. I’m not being very scientific about it yet but for instance none of my laptops discharge that much if I shut the lid and walk away for a couple days, but then again they’re bigger cells.
