I feel like this gem of a game has pretty much been forgotten. Never expected to see someone mention it. Very atmospheric and one of my favorite walking simulator games.

Give Vintage Story a shot. It’s Minecraft as a survival game and much more than that.

Looks beautiful too.

I just can’t get excited for GTA anymore after V, especially with the shark code floodgates being open with that entry.

Even with all of the good parts of V, I just found the game to be really boring and bland. Might have to do with the setting itself as early 2000s are just nowhere near as interesting as the 80s and 90s were.

The humor in SA was over the top but never unfunny. Like a playble mashup of all the best stoner movies from that era.

I have no doubt that VI will look good and probably play good (IV had a much more interesting physics model than V imo) beyond that I expect it to be in the same ballapark as V was.

If looking from top left to right my favourites are 3,4 and 6.

RDR2 on Steam Deck. I never got far when I originally played it on my PC a few years ago and have been itching to play it again for the last few weeks.

Started a new game and so far it’s running really good.

Work and IRL stuff does not leave me with a lot of hours to game, but I did manage to put in a good few hours.

Man the original Bloodlines, even though I never got around finishing it, was such a unique game. Deb of the night, the city, the hotel mission, twins from that club, general atmosphere… an all around great game (I am aware of quality being sub par during the later parts of the game).

BL 2 looked janky as hell, to a point I think everyone was clear it would flop. I pretty much completely forgot about that game. Just read this morning that they’ve switched devs.

Playing this on the PSX was such a unforgettable experience. The soundtrack is a banger to this day, level design was interesting and made me want to push further.

This depends on where you bought it. If on Steam, you just download it directly from Steam.

If on GOG, I do believe you will need Heroic launcher to actually be able to download the game to your Steam Deck.

Muscle memory, having the cursor / aim be an upredictable variable depending on the speed of the movement feels very wrong to me.

Floaty feeling, one of the things I try to do first with every Bethseda game is to try and force raw mouse input, otherwise it feels like I’m trying to control a mouse cursor that is sliding on ice.

I have not tried the RawAccel druver you’ve linked so can’t comment on that.

I don’t have my SD with me now, but from what I remember I just used either an official control scheme or user customized one.

Handheld, I don’t use the SD docked.

What an enchanting game this is. I’ve never made it that far but the world building is simply superb. Recently started playing it again on my Steam Deck and it plays wonderfully.

Live and drink friend!

I can’t say that this wouldn’t help in some extreme buggy scenarios where the battery mgmt is not able to report / read the current actual battery status, but it would be the last thing I would try and do to resolve such issues.

EDIT: reading through the comments in the thread you linked, even OP recognizes that it did pretty much nothing but corrected a visual bug on the % of battery available.

Under no circumatances should you do that to a Lithium battery. That’s a relic from NiMH battery era and was done for specific reasons you can find online.

Fully draining your Lithium battery will shorten its lifespan. Many new devices have a way to even limit the max charge and keep the battery in the optimal 60-80% range.

Been using it for years now. Such a fantastic and straight to the point tool, that still has all of the functionality one might need.

CherryTree is one of those apps that is very likely never goong to be removed from my devices.

I was dual booting Windows / Linux on the same drive on my laptop for a while (before I got a separate drive for each of them), Steam Deck should be no different.

Good news is that it pretty much works flawlesly. Bad news is that Windows really liked to mess up Grub after almost each update. It requiring to manually reinstall / reconfigure it.

That was pretty much it from what I remember.

For people that have bought into early access, are you finding the content so far enjoyable? A tough question I know, since barely a part of it is out.

Still have my Rise of Nations CD somewhere. I loved games like Civilization, don’t even remember how I stumbled upon RoN, a really great game.

I used to watch a streamer play My Summer Car whenever I could. I love the games that are just their own thing.

Reminds me of clear PSX controllers, really nice sort of a retro look
