Ok, I know it sounds crazy but I actually quite like this set up I made for playing cataclysm dda using onboard deck controls. The four pop up menus map to left joystick, left touchpad, right joystick and right touchpad.
(No mouse because it is cdda you don’t need a mouse.)

What kind of workflow does this involve on your deck?

Same I have been learning blender and using it on my deck! Super cool to hear about others doing so!
Also kdenlive is a nice linux non linear video editor available on flathub/the discover app browser.
I have been using kdenlive to, browse, edit and compose gameplay videos right on the deck, it is a really nice easy experience.
- Comment on Main Assembly is a must buy for the deck at $4! 3 days ago:
Good question, I think there is a bug maybe? Development on Main Assembly stopped in 2021 (which is why I recommend MA at this pricepoint) and the bug might have never been fixed. What a shame :( the game definitely wasn’t intended to do that.

Trailmakers is definitely very solid too, the building philosophies between the games are quite different but they are both great game.

Main Assembly’s workshop has some seriously good stuff, like someone modeled a realistic, working nissan gtr skyline!

- Comment on Netflix is removing nearly all of its interactive titles 2 weeks ago:
Wish they put all this money into funding indie game devs and connected small game studios with the professional film and live action apparatus netfix has access to.
I haven’t played it but Hellbade Senua’s Sacrifice seems like it categorically demolishes whatever netflix execs thought they were doing while they burned money.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2024 2 weeks ago:
Just install blender from the discover app on the steam desktop, add it to steam as a non-steam game and you can launch it as you would any other game.
As for controls I prefer joysticks + gyro, but that is just me.
- Comment on Stuck for what to play this weekend? DayZ works really nicely on Linux now 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it is actually pretty amazing how good performance dayz gets on the deck, even on deathmatch servers with 25+ players in a small area it runs great.
The gunplay is superb especially with some of the more common weapon mods.
Not sure why arma 3 runs so much worse in comparison, the difference is massive.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2024 2 weeks ago:
Honestly mostly been learning blender, I am sure sure nobody ever intended blender to be used on a handheld gaming system but that is the beauty of the steam deck right?
Also been playing some everdell.
Coincidentally I had just downloaded Apex to start playing with a friend :(
- Comment on Epic roguelike Caves of Qud now has a proper tutorial 2 weeks ago:
What an epic game, I haven’t really gotten into it beyond the initial zone but even the world building of the default starter zone is fantastic. I feel like this game transports me to a different place more than any AAA game with gorgeous graphics.
- Comment on Netflix's "Team Blue" of Halo, Overwatch and God Of War vets close without a single game to their name 4 weeks ago:
Pathetic showing for a massive waste of talent and money.
- Comment on Arma 4 will release in 2027 4 weeks ago:
This is good news and between Operation Harsh Doorstop/other unreal engine games in the pipeline with modding support and arma reforger/arma 4 we are finally leaving the era of stagnant big map shooter design where modding options were basically the source engine or sticking to the ancient and abandoned bf2 engine.
Will performance be prioritized in development though? Given bohemias track record I doubt it, and it really heavily limits the potential of their games compared to a game like Easy Red 2 or Operation Harsh Doorstop that can easily simulate large battles on even a mediocre gaming computer with humans and tons of ai.
- Comment on Minetest breaks the chains of being a Minecraft clone with a new name — Luanti 5 weeks ago:
The minecraft modding scene is also a serious longterm threat to microsoft making money off minecraft, so I hope the Luani modding scene continues to grow!
(I don’t think microsoft will necessarily kill java minecraft but microsoft clearly sees minecraft java as a dead end, you are fooling yourself if you think otherwise)

I dont mean to be annoying if this has been suggested to you but try adding gyro.
Also thumbstick grips that raise the stick height can help massively depending on your hand shape.

The thing about zomboid is…it just makes me want to play cataclysm dark days ahead with the sky island mod and I get itchy without that brilliant anarchism and freedom cataclysm brings to the entire experience.
Zomboid will get there, and it isnt bad by any means.
7 days to die also runs great on the deck (tho it is 3d fps/tps) and has quite a few good modpacks that use it as a base, easy to underappreciate the game because development has been all over the place.
Another game to think about, dayz (modded and vanilla) actually runs decent on the deck.

- Comment on What do you prefer for audio? Earphones, headphones, speakers? 1 month ago:
honestly I prefer games have really good hearing accessibility options and UI so I can mute the game and play while I listen to an audiobook with my partner… and then my shure aonic 50 headphones, third favorite being sony xm3/xm4 and newer.

Fragmentation is a concern but it isn’t the real issue, the issue is corporate capture of the commons as far as I am concerned.
- Comment on Epic Games reduce their cut for Unreal Engine games for same-day Epic Store launches 1 month ago:
Side note definitely the coolest game on the unreal engine is the free and moddable tactical shooter (with vehicles) Operation Harsh Doorstop.

There really hasnt been a good modding plaform for games like this since Battlefield 2.
- Comment on Ubisoft investors push for company sale as shares hit decade-low 1 month ago:
There are plenty of Ubisoft games I would buy if they werent by Ubisoft.
Even if I want the game though, it just isnt worth the bullshit not to mention, will my game even work after Ubisoft inveitably cancels support for it.
Ubisoft in every aspect from blatant slaps to the face of customers in their behavior to boring overly simplified map janitor mechanics treats its customers like they are gullible sheep who will sit there and tolerate whatever bullshit Ubisoft shoves down their throat so long as the graphics are pretty.
I swear I can feel the condercension oooozing out from their corporate boardroom from thousands of miles away.
Every single Ubisoft game would do better with sales if it didnt have Ubisofts name on it, I am quite confident in that.
