Gaming

I've been loving Hades, but I'm currently fighting to get done emulation working - although I didn't spend much time and I at least know, where I fucked up...

Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.

As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.

I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can't wait 'til I can game with my sons.

I went from a Hades binge which ended when I entered the mid-to-late game grind phase interspersed with bouts of BoI (finally picked up Repetence) and found myself wondering what to do now.

So I figured, hey, maybe it's about time I finally went back and finished Bastion.

Then all of a sudden Street Fighter 6 comes out (which plays incredibly well on the deck) and a new No Man's Sky expedition launches, and now I don't know what to do!

Slay the Spire, American Truck Simulator, Bloons TD6, Deep Rock Galactic were games I had a good experience with.

I had a USBC Dongle and was also able to play games like TMNT Shredders Revenge, Out of Space, Moving Out, Plate Up and Overcooked with other people very easily by bringing it with me and extra controllers.

Just as a note, there's a couple of Deck communities. I'm on !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz (beehaw.org/c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz) and !steamdeck@lemmy.ml (beehaw.org/c/steamdeck@lemmy.ml) at the moment. The one on Sopuli seem to be a bit more active

I got it in September last year. While I am alternating between Death Stranding and Wolfenstein: the new order, I have to say that this fantastic machine has allowed me to play and finish 18 games since September, which is unbelievable for a person with a job and a family with a kid...

Just got Tony Hawk 1+2. Is literally perfect for the Deck!

I love my Steam Deck and use it for smaller indie titles I can play for a short time through the week.
At the moment I play Flood of Light, which works pretty well despite being a game relying heavily on mouse controls.
And as a second: Super Panda Adventure. A surprisingly fun metroidvania.
Casette Beasts is next, already played about an hour, but I want to finish the others first.

I've been playing Spiritfarer and Forza Horizon 4 on mine as of late.

Playing Chained Echos and I love it! It's a great love letter to older turn based RPGs

Mostly modded Skyrim on my Deck (enchanted weapons build), but the majority of my time lately has been playing Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch.

I’m waiting to play BG3 until after it fully comes out. I don’t have a lot of free time as it is, and I’d rather not play through the first part of the game multiple times right now.

Been playing Dinkum lately, great controller support works well on the deck.

Been mostly playing ToTK on switch like some here, though I think I'll have to give a few more attempts at P ranking some bosses in Pizza Tower soon, or perhaps try to 100% Hifi Rush

I was looking to scratch the FromSoft itch after Elden Ring finally converted me into a lover of those games.

I bought Sekiro on my deck and got crack cocaine addicted to it. Plays GREAT. Also recently finished Celeste on there which is a game I see myself going back to again and again.

Recently set up EmuDeck, so the real question is what am I not playing? Jokes aside, currently taking a break from the Deck for D4 (wanted better graphics and smoother framerate so I went with PS5). Will probably grab it on PC when there's a sale just to be able to play it on the go... well, wherever wifi is available.

Other than that it's been mostly "Fuck Around With Tweaking the OS and Settings to Get Games Just Right and Then Never Actually Play Them" Simulator. Windows 11 runs surprisingly smooth off of just a MicroSD card.

I'm currently really into playing Mount & Blade Bannerlord on the Steam Deck, but I use it for just about everything these days. Between my whole Steam library and emulators that can play all the games I grew up with, it's like having my whole gaming lifetime in a tiny portable machine.

I want a steam deck so badly. In the mean time I’m paying my switch.

But I really want to play disco elysium. I know it’s available for the switch, but it pays terribly compared to the pc.

Just started playing Persona 5 Royal. I've got a ton of looong RPGs installed, and nowhere close to enough free time for them.

I'm still not sure if I want to get the Steam Deck, I play portable games on my Switch and while I miss out on having all my Steam library and stuff, I just can't seem to reasonably justify buying one

Currently playing SF6. RE Engine is a wonder.

In order of play time on the deck:

• Dead Cells
• Hades
• Katana Zero
• Hi-Fi Rush
• Neon White

I've been playing the games from the most recent humble bundle, eternal threads was a big surprise! It's really good!

Currently playing some No Man's Sky. It runs better than I was expecting.

I was playing Showgunners and was really enjoying it but it crashes a lot on the deck. I'm hoping an update fixes it.

I'm here, but I've been playing TotK on switch as of late. I was actually playing Metroid Prime: Remastered on the deck before that.

I installed BlizzNet on my steamdeck and am playing through Diablo IV. I'm usually a more patient gamer but my friends were playing and coop is fun.

Been playing TOTK too much to pick the Deck up… Was playing Lone Fungus before, which ran really well.

anybody with a deck tried modded minecraft? if i get one and it works i’ll probably end up having another one of those month-long minecraft phases haha

Got my steam deck about August last year, I've been using it almost exclusively for gaming this year. At the beginning of the year I used my gaming PC to play some Battlefield 2042 but other than that its been Steam Deck only.

Blasphemous im working on beating right now before the 2nd one comes out. Also playing a bit of Ride 4 before 5 comes out. Once i am ready to loop back to other games on my list to beat I'll also be playing Nier Automata. Another I've found of interest recently just due to its simple gameplay and coop capability is Death Road to Canada.

I'm currently playing Octopath Traveller 2 and it's running great ! It's also a very fun game. The next game on my list is Outer Wilds.

ohai, it me! Mostly what I'm doing with the deck is going back through my old library. My silly self even bought new vegas about a week before epic started to give it away (still worth it, best fallout game which puts it well up in the running for best RPG).

But the game I'm really excited about on the deck, the one I can't put down, is an indie hockey roguelike called tape to tape. I grew up on games like NHL 94 for the sega genesis, and this one plays like those old games, but it also has a generational roguelike element to it. You play a series of short hockey games against different teams, each with their own special talents. When you win, you win in-game currency with which you can upgrade your center, unlock different wingers to play with, unlock different talents that you can give to your players or even whole team talents. It's in early access on steam right now, plays perfectly on the deck right out of the box, has an active community where players and devs interact on discord and it's just really, really fun. Strong recommend if you played arcade-y hockey games as a kid.

My recent obsession has been getting heavily modded Bethesda games running on the deck. Currently playing a version of Oblivion that has only ever been seen by me. I couldn't even get Oblivion running with 10 mods a decade ago but with the newer tools it's running on linux with almost 200. It's been fun.

There are dozens of us! I’ve just been happy to get through my Steam backlog since my gaming PC died. I recently played Horizon ZD and am about to start Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon

Warhammer Boltgun, Forza Horizon 4 & Fallout 76.

Boltgun is incredible, best new game I’ve bought this year.

Fallout 76 (don’t judge) is great just to burn some time doing events with randoms and joining public teams.

I’ve really gotten into Forza Horizon 4 again recently and am also playing through that on the Deck.

I’ve added a 1tb SSD to mine so it’s running Windows and Linux meaning I’m pretty much free to play my whole library. Love the thing.

99% of my Deck gameplay has been Harvest Moon Animal Parade (Wii game) since I got it last fall. Lmao. But I recently got a little chill game called Lemon Cake on sale so I’ve been messing with that. I just want calm games these days, preferably ones I can pick up and put down easily.

Currently playing Death Stranding in between two sessions of Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch !

I'm in act 2 of Midnight Suns. It makes a bad first impression, but once you get into the progression loops, it's a good time.

Avid Steam Decker here, mostly playing Boltgun and the System Shock Remake (which also inspired me to go back to the original System Shock in parallel to see what's changed)

Fromsoft Games and I just started Metal Gear Rising for the first time. God I love Platinum Games.

Making my way through Yakuza 0. For whatever reason I stopped playing it on the PC a couple years ago and I'm starting over from the beginning now on the Deck. Also working through Shadow of War now and then ever since I got it for like $5 a couple weeks back.

I'm playing Halo Master Chief Collection. I've never played any Halo before due to never having an Xbox back in the day.

Started with Halo 1 and really loving it. Good fun indeed.

I was a really early pre-orderer and love my deck. Playing Cosmic Star Heroine this week!

River City Girls is up next.
