  • Strawberry is super confusing with playlists. Out of caution, I have learned to save Playlists multiple times to a file and try to close them all before opening/playing new stuff.

    Too many times I’ve experienced selecting something new to play not only replace the currently playing, but replaces the Playlist, and it seems to overwrite it immediately.


    • Parking Garage Rally Circuit is pretty fun and runs well.
    • V-Rally 4 is pretty smooth as well if you turn down settings a little bit. I love that it has a unique hill climb road in eastern Europe that Top Gear or Grand Tour covered. I don’t remember the name.
    • Truck Racer is a fun ps3-era arcade style game.

    I have yet to play them on Steam Deck, hut I’ve played these on other consoles and loved them:

    • WRC 4
    • FIA European Truck Racing Championship
    • Wreckfest




  • AoE III was excellent. It explored new ideas and did it well. As a long time AoE fan who played all of them since the first, AoE II is massively overhyped, and AoE III is unfairly shit on.

    Also they were voluntold to do Halo Wars, and they did a good job on it. It’s a good game, and it did an excellent job on console with a controller scheme, which was impressive at the time.

    Ensemble got shafted. They were held up at the time as the leaders of RTS and Microsoft didn’t give a fuck. Just used and abused.

    AoE online was clearly executive suite demands. Of course it fucking sucked.
