Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it's such a convenient way of using most emulators you'll need.

May I ask, why did you go with Retrodeck instead of emudeck. Not judging or anything, just curious about the advantages.
I don't want the games all in my library. Retrodeck is one non-steam game addition in your library and then you launch it and all the emulated games are browsed through the retrodeck UI.
That’s how emudeck works too so it seems like they’re mostly the same. I did see that retro deck is working on getting online gaming working which would definitely get me to switch.

Try Emudeck. You can use an extension in their app to add your games directly to steam.

I'm trying to finish Yakuza 0. But christ this game is long. If the rest of the series is this bad I might have to pass on it. Great game but just...too much of everything.
I'm alternating between doom 2016 and divinity original sin. Doom was running really well and I was finally getting decent with aim assist off, but now it's crashing on a rune challenge consistently.
The Steam Deck helps feed my FFXIV addiction.
Here's one with freshly installed Emustation and the world of Retro Games at my disposal.
Aside from that: Witcher 3, 40k Boltgun, Hitman 3, Door Kickers: Action Squad.
I 100% Vampire Survivors and am currently playing through one of the first games I ever owned, FIFA 07. It sometimes feels like I am a child again sitting in front of the CRT-TV trying to shoot goals from the center-line. Good memories there
Is there a trick to play that one on Steam Deck? At the end of a level it tends to slow down for me, giving me about 1 fps. Others have mentioned playing it, so I wonder if there is something that can be done.
Sadly not really as far as I know, even on my PC with a 1080 I get framedrops when going all out, especially on a limit-breaker run. The Steam Deck is strong, but not strong enough for what Vampire Survivors throws at you
I'm finally making my way through all the MegaMan X games. I only ever beat the first one as a kid, so there's a lot for me to explore. I'm still beating my head against X2, so it's not going super well...
Mostly emulation. As a day 1 Dreamcast owner, the Dreamcast emulation has been mindblowing.
Most of the A-list games I prefer on console, so I don't bother with them on Steam.
Love mine. Mostly been playing Descenders and rubber duck simulator
I've been using it to play a lot of nostalgic games I haven't gotten around to revisiting yet, recently Burnout 3, classic Minecraft, and PSP homebrew. I hope to continue that trend by filling in some RPGMaker games I really liked, but I've actually been using it more in desktop mode as a companion for my drawing tablet than for gaming lol
Being playing Dredge and Harry Potter through remote play on my Xbox. Xbox is wired and having no issues.
Steam Deck install base: less than 2 million
Nintendo Switch install base: 125+ million
But by all means let's talk about Steam Deck.
Here we go again...

Stardew Valley has been my go-to so far, along with lots of old puzzle games (Portal 1/2, Myst, etc.) and the early Lego games, namely Lego Star Wars
All of those games are amazing.

Love my Deck! Currently having a lot of fun with Boltgun, having recently played original DOOM and DOOM II with the GzDOOM, and they're still amazing. Also trying to play X4, though it's a little bit crashy, seems to have memory leaks for days. Want to play Dredge soon.

Diablo 4. Runs pretty well on medium settings for a new title.
I'm using the Steam Deck to play games, that work well with controller and where I want to get all the achievements. Like Bloodstained, Forager, Graveyard Keeper and such. These are all games that you can play very well on the steam deck and every time I'm lying on the couch I can play a few hours to get a bit closer to all achievements of that game :-)
