Hades. Was grinding on that sucker for weeks. Finally got to the start of the final battle the last of my life. Got scared haven't picked it up for fear of going down, way down. I'm not very good at this game. I keep hearing people completing a full run within 30 tries. For me, it's like 30,000. I know this run was just a lucky fluke as the runs before it I kept dying on the threshold to the exit if Tartarus.
Finished system shock remastered, started pacific drive, but I think I'll play it on the pc (bigger screen needed for the immersion)
Been playing a lot of Deep Rock Galatic! The deck is surprising good at handling FPS games. And the performance is very good.( mostly 60fps @10 watt. Gpu pinned 1100Mhz)
Played a lot less single player game than I expected tho.
Yeah DRG is like rocket league for me, I understand getting sick of it but mechanically it is almost perfect.
Do you mean feeling dizzy? Keep the FPS >= 60(you can try to push for 75), and increaseing the fov might help.
Also keep a good 30+cm between eye and deck. I too often found myself sticking my eyes to the screen when really engaged. That cause a lot of dizziness. 🤘 and 🪨
No no hahaha I meant just getting bored of the game because you played it too much and needing a break despite still loving the game.
I've finished Firewatch and started Bayonetta.
Been playing some genshin impact on my deck lately
Just beat Twilight Princess HD and got everything. Now restarting it in hero mode. I have no idea how I'm going to fare in the cave of ordeals. I barely made it in regular mode.
Ocarina of Time, for the very first time, via Ship of Harkinian. Just completed the Forest Temple and having a great time! And since it's Linux native it plays exceptionally well.
Oh that's cool, I hadn't heard of that project before.
I've played Ocarina of Time, but never played through Majora's Mask. I'm really interested to try that when they come out with support for it.
Yeah I can't decide if I should wait for their port before I play through MM. Harkinian is an incredible piece of work and being able to play OoT at 60 fps using a modern dual stick setup with a free camera is really nice.
Still Vampire Survivors 🙈
and sometimes rocket league with the kid
Been playing En Guarde, great fun little game but kinda short. Going back through the second play through to collect all the achievements.
Still playing the best steam deck game ever: HALLS OF TORMENT!
I've been playing Ziggurat 2, which I picked up in a Fanatical bundle that I think is still going? It's my service FPS on the Deck, but Super Hot isn't in real time, so this is the first time I'm struggling with aiming accurately at speed. It's hard!
I have gyro controls enabled to help with fine-tuning aiming, but I'm really struggling. I just realized as I'm trying this that I haven't tried touch controls for aiming, though... I'm an idiot. I keep forgetting the touch pads exist. That will probably be a lot better!
I also played Luck be a Landlord. The first run I lost, but in the second run I already beat the game so hard that endless mode has absolutely no challenge since I scale faster than the endless mode difficulty increase. I can't really recommend it for that reason, especially since there's absolutely no challenge once you've figured out a strategy and get your combo pieces.
And more Stardew Valley. I'm in Spring of Year 2 for the first time. I'm thinking of going for Perfection in the file, now, since most of the game is incredibly easy now with sprinklers and the greenhouse. Then I might start over with mods if I'm still not tired of the game.

It depends, I think gyro + joysticks is way more natural and fun. I recommend leaving it always on with a button you can hold to temporarily disable it. Don’t use the gyro for most movements, that is what the joysticks are for. Hold the steam deck nice and still in a comfortable position and progressively integrate slight movements to fine tune your rough joystick aim. Gyro aiming is both for fine adjustment but also for snap reactions, so sensitivity shouldn’t be too high but it shouldn’t be too low so it can also be used in knee jerk reaction situations where it can most immediately benefit your FPS competitiveness.
Thanks for this! I'll give that a shot. (No pun intended.)
Here is a short video I uploaded (to a peertube instance) of me playing a very fast paced FPS with gyo + joysticks as an example. Except for the flicks and quick reaction shots it isn't necessarily obvious I have gyro on at all and am constantly using it, I myself am not even really conscious of it while I am doing it. In a way my brain is instructing my hands to aim using the joysticks while my hands are subconsciously/automatically fixing my fine aim through small subtle gyro adjustments.
I do flick shots the way people imagine gyro+joysticks works before they have tried it, I just literally aim the steamdeck/controller at the target, but the rest of the time it is totally subconscious. I grew up playing shooters with an xbox controller, I love playing shooters especially shooters with vehicles using joysticks. That makes me well aware that without heavy autoaim there is a serious fundamental limitation to how accurate joystick input can be, specifically for small aim adjustments where joystick input will just keep hopping back and forth over the target because it is nearly impossible to make a minimum distance movement with a joystick (especially when you have to have a decent deadzone to counteract stick drift).
For me, gyro solves this almost magically because I intuitively know very well at this point what happens when I bring my aim onto a target with a joystick. I either successfully bring my aim right on target or I end up having moved my aim a little too far or too little short. I am controller-throwingly well aware of the serious problem I face when the result happens to be my aim is almost on target as that is the most difficult position to get on target with joystick input (even more than a position 180 degrees away). I intuitively know what the problem feels like extremely well (one would hope so after all those hours lol...) so I can just give my subconscious that well defined problem and let my hands intuitively work out how to make the problem disappear from the perspective of my conscious mind.
I don't really perceive "joysticks+gyro" as two simultaneous inputs, I perceive it as "magic joysticks".
Toto, and civ 6!
Gotta get that Deep Rock Galactic anniversary hat.
Tried to get back to Valheim, but so far it hasn't sunk.
Enjoyed Easy Red 2 surprisingly mutch. You can run it on Steam Deck with max NPC count. Real meat grinding battles. AI has some room for improvement, but it doesn't ruin it.
Finally picked up Dead Cells from the current sale. I play a lot of roguelikes/lites but never been much into Castlevania type stuff so started out 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.
Dead Cells is a masterclass in not wasting a nanosecond of your time. The entire game is a flow state.
Finally bit the bullet and bought Baldur's Gate 3. It runs great (I've limited it to 30 fps) but the battery is draining fast.
Slowly trying to finish A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build (https://store.steampowered.com/app/316610/A_Good_Snowman_Is_Hard_To_Build/), I've always been bad at puzzle games but I still love torturing myself
I'm making progress on DRG Survivor (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321470/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Survivor/) but I'm scared of finishing it too fast and burning out before it officially releases out of early access
Whenever I have time I really enjoy exploring the world of Sable (https://store.steampowered.com/app/757310/Sable/), it runs really really well, love the art direction
I've been on a rogue-like kick for awhile now. I have to say, Alina of the Arena is a pretty good one. Plays great on deck.
I had weird sound problems the last time I tried that on the Deck. But it is a great Game.
I picked up Armored Core VI in the recent sale, I've been enjoying it a lot more than I anticipated. Being able to switch up everything in the build after dying then trying again makes the failure fun.
I just finished another Cyberpunk game called Sanibi, I highly recommend it, it’s freaking amazing. I don’t know which other cyberpunk game I can play with great stories (already done Katana Zero) so I bought Celeste but I’m almost at the top of the mountain already.
So I continued my play through of BGIII and I had a blast!
If you're searching for a cyberpunk game with good story, I can highly recommend Cloudpunk!
Oooh I’ll look into it!
Citizen Sleeper is really good if you're into its kind of gameplay
Balatro is my new obsession. Runs great. I'm using the touchpad for mouse input.
Just beat my first gold chip run, game is super addicting. So many unique combos!
Just putting this out here, you do NOT need to use the joy/pad for mouse and it works great. Such a fun game. Great for the deck.
True enough. It does have controller support. I just find the interface a little more usable with mouse controls.
