I’ve played multiple play throughs, yet every time I seem to scramble in the beginning. I’ve learned to chill. Plant, water, forage, say hey to some people, and FISH. Like others said I mine on rainy days.
In other news, how do you like stardew on steam deck or just steam deck in general? I imagine it would be similar to switch which is how I’ve always played.
Yeah I have a hard time just relaxing on a game. I’m a long time WoW addict & I love the minmaxing efficiency gameplay loop too much. I try to translate it into every game which can suck the joy out of it sometimes.
I sold my Switch OLED months before I got the Steam Deck, and I’ll say the screen was obviously much better on the Switch, but the controls/grip is insanely more comfortable on the Steam Deck, even though it’s heavier. I have big hands and the little tiny joycons & buttons on the switch drove me insane
I feel you on the minmaxing AND playing wow for way too long (quit after legion). I inevitably fill my day with errands to the point I write them down to make sure my day is efficient. I’ve even restarted days because I didn’t, say, buy seeds and now the store is closed or even needing to catch the bus to give sandy a gift. But that usually starts happening mid summer when I’m feeling the pressure of bundle completion and some time consuming item. It definitely sucks the joy out of it.
I’ve heard the grip is much better on the steam deck! Sad to hear the screen is still subpar. I’m on the fence about getting one but seems redundant since I have a switch.
So… you have ADHD too?? Lmao I relate to all of this so much.
TBH, I mainly got the steam deck because I’m a Linux fanboy and I didn’t care for the locked down nature of the Switch, plus every new game NEVER got cheaper, and I didn’t want to spend 100s of dollars on titles I may or may not play…. Especially since I have like 10-20 games in my Steam backlog that I’m finally able to bring myself to get through.
Haha probably!! I can easily self diagnose myself with it but have never formally gotten an evaluation. I’m so sorry you can relate
I recently home brewed my 3DS and looked into doing the same for my switch but I don’t have money to replace it if I brick it so I’m waiting. Agree that Nintendo are greedy bastards. If you already have a ton of steam games then a steam deck makes the most sense.
