I bought Vampire Survivors two weeks ago and I have almost 40 hours, all on Steam Deck. It’s the most fun I’ve had gaming in a long time. Simple gameplay loop with constant action and so many possible permutations of characters, stages, and power ups! I have ~ 2/3 of the unlocks and achievements so far.

I really wanted to get a steam deck when they first came out, but I decided not to bc I wasn’t gaming much at the time. Then I got a SD OLED right when they came out, and I’ve been playing it pretty much every day since then. I love playing retro games and emulating on it since its OLED screen is amazing, and I also do Steam Remote Play to it from my gaming PC and Chiaki to remote play from my PS5. Like another poster said, the Steam Deck has also been a game changer for getting me playing older games from my backlog. It’s perfect for playing games on the couch while watching TV or a movie as well.

I’m following Bazzite’s development closely because I feel like that’ll be the saving grace for all the gaming handhelds that are windows-only at the moment. If Bazzite matches or supplants SteamOS then I might consider a device like an ROG Ally.

Nice - are you playing with Mods?

Thanks! My samsung S21’s camera really struggles to focus on anything remotely close to its lens, even if I manually adjust it in Pro mode. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks! I am super stoked with how it turned out. It took me about 4 hours, but a decent chunk of that was me using a utility knife cracking open the one touchpad for which I was trying to swap its cover before I realized it wasn’t compatible. I suppose I could’ve swapped their covers and adhered the replacements to the metal brackets, but I also could not get the touchpad daughterboards out of the housing (they are likely adhered to the other piece too).

These are the resources I referenced while working on it:

Same. I got lifetime memberships to 3 usenet provides but the *arr suite gets ~95% of my media from nzbgeek. Now the only recurring cost is for my provider. Downloads are so much faster and reliable than torrenting, and the automation is amazing.

Playing through Tunic for the first time - loving it so far!

Just ordered these on Amazon - will try installing them in my OLED when they arrive this week

I built a NAS and I have the full *arr suite running on it in containers. Usenet and torrent clients organize my media, and since it’s a network share I can access everything from my devices.

Asahi Linux devs go hard.

I just had some success on a website I found called influencers gone wild

So I just set it up and tested out a few different games and I’m encountering some pretty consistent. Periodic lag spikes where the visuals totally stop and get glitched out, any suggestions? I’m doing 720p 10000

Holy cow, this is awesome. Gonna set this up later!

Just bought the collection for $10 as a part of the autumn sale. Downloading now!

Same for me in the Midwest. I am LOVING it!!

I’m also looking for suggestions for some good games to play on my new Steam Deck OLED once it arrives tomorrow.

First I’ll install emudeck and decky, then I plan on installing a bunch of games from my existing library that I haven’t gotten around to playing.

Just checked UPS status after reading others’ posts here, and sure enough mine is slated to arrive Wednesday by end of day! 1 TB non-LE

I’ve been very happily using YouTube ReVanced, do u know how SmartTubeNext and NewPipe compare to it?
