Oh this is so lovely!

I’m so glad you’re making the most of your Steam Deck, now next up you can look at installing my friend’s project: RetroDECK on your Steam Deck to emulate all the games from the older years! (and if you need any pointers or help doing it, reach out to me!)

I find the same thing with GOG games, and I tend to find myself checking the ‘details’ section of a game’s page to see if it has built-in controller support before buying these days, because my Deck is used mostly for GOG titles :)

Since there’s now ten of them, I figured it’s just easier for someone who is curious to click on my profile and sort by ‘posts’

Oh that’s so sweet of you!!!

Thanks, I’m glad you find my nonsense I share fun! :)

Frendica is one of the few I haven’t actually checked out (yet), but maybe one day I’ll make an acc there too!

Thanks! I edited the link, I’m not sure how I messed that up!!!

My friend makes RetroDECK! Isn’t it lovely? Its crazy to me how the default emulation for the Steam Deck seems to just be EmuDeck. To me it is the far weaker of the two options.

I enjoyed how Russ (RGC on YouTube) recently made an in-depth video recently showing the differences between them, then how to install and run RetroDECK (the link to which is here if anyone wants to see it!)

Lazorne, I known you’re around here somewhere plotting what’s next for RetroDECK!

I hope your recovery from surgery goes well. I’ll be thinking of you, those things can suck all the easy and spark from life, I’m so glad you’ve got your gaming to escape to!

And don’t force Death Stranding if its not fun! Give it some time :)

I’ve been trying soooo hard to stop myself jumping from game to game!

I’ve been stuck solidly on Death Stranding for a few weeks now (on my Steam Deck), so…so far so good!

This is the best

And yes, I finally posted another just an hour or so ago! (sorry it took me a few extra days!)

Thanks for saying so!

Everyone tells me that Split Fiction is amazing, and from the trailer and gushing reviews - it seems like a rare bright spark in gaming lately :)

I’m 100% with you on Denuvo - I think I cut every game out which has that, but it’s an easy task since I have around 40-odd games on Steam and a lot on GOG, so the hard work is done for me!!!

I remember playing Persona 5 on Game Pass some years ago and loving it!

The amount of the modern retro gaming handhelds is staggering. One company (its joked) seems to announce one each week!

But its nice that it gives people an option to play the old games without the old headaches. Modern IPS and OLED displays, save states and customizable community make OS builds mean there’s just a myriad of options now :)

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I get a silly amount of pleasure from writing these, so its always a huge relief to see it not go down like a lead balloon!!!

Seems to be the perfect time to find a Switch OLED instead! With a new model coming, surely people will try to offload their current gen consoles at a cheap rate!

Please do keep on with Death Stranding! It really opens up and shows you the whole world in a bit of time. Its an investment, but to me it is pure cinema and art. I adore it so much.

And thank you, I’m just happy to get any comment saying these are positive for people. I appreciate you saying so!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Always makes me smile seeing someone enjoyed these!!!

Yes, absolutely.

Even better, unlike Steam you own the of line installers, so you’ll always be able to own that game, even if GOG itself closed down.

Welcome back to the dark side!

I always find the Decky woes way overblown, they only happen when a major Deck release happens - and even then all you gotta do is reinstall Decky on desktop mode (or wait a few hours for an update).

It never deletes settings.

But, yours looks beautiful now. I esp love the Halo art!!!

Just go to desktop mode, and in the ‘pictures’ folder, locate your images.

You can transfer them to a USB, or even email them via the browser if you’ve no USB handy!

The STEAM button + R1!

Though I use the plugin from Decky called ‘shotty’ with the same hotkeys- it lets me take screenshots inside non-Steam games, which is the vast, vast bulk of my games library (GOG)

Enjoy!

I love the myriad of things I can customize on my Steam Deck :)

Oh no! How’d it happen?

With you RMA it? Or iFixit the screen yourself? I’m sorry to hear, that’s sad news.

If you have a dock, at least you can still use it that way I suppose!
