Year of the Linux desktop!
The Deck has been my only gaming PC for a while lol
CK II on steamdeck? How easy is it to navigate the UI?
It takes a bit to figure out a good keybind setup and you have to use the trackpad for a lot of stuff, but it’s not too bad overall. It wasn’t inconvenient enough for me to grab my bluetooth keyboard at any point at least.
Same!
This might change next year, though… I see a Steam Machine in my future.
Are there a lot of bots and casuals that keep these medians so low or do I need the get outside more?
How was E33 on the Deck? I didn’t play much of it there, I was afraid parries and dodges would be a bit of a nightmare to time perfectly.
It’s a lot better after the update a few days ago, but back when I played it I actually installed a performance mod to make it run a lot smoother. I thought it was very playable, but I’m also trash at dodging/parrying consistently. I’m assuming it was more of a skill issue than the game’s performance though.
That’s good, does it still look like shit though? So far it’s been a game I just only play on desktop
There are some video on youtube, it’s still kinda blurry but the game is still pretty beautiful imo. Definitely won’t look as good as it does on desktop.
Once again dominated by stardew valley for me
The steam deck is just too ideal of a form factor to play stardew valley, isn’t it
The only part I want to share is this:
I don’t play that much on the deck but had a couple of days off work because of sick kid so it was a life saver.
This, was a busy year. Silksong very much carried my Steam Deck usage.
I didn’t use a keyboard and mouse once.
All controllers or VR controllers.
If I had to guess, the game isn’t gamepad optimized i.e. CIV 5, so the game is marked as a keyboard game.
Just shows how well steam input works.
I guess so! I do use steam input. I bet it’s because I use a PS5 controller with Destiny 2. Even though it’s a Sony game, I don’t get native support.
Quite a diverse selection of games this year. Spent WAY too much time on Steam this year.
I don’t have a problem, I can stop gaming any time I want!
This row of games is 92% of my playtime, there were a bunch of other games from my collection but I only played them briefly here and there.
100% Deck, it’s currently my only PC.
man i need to learn how to play BG3 with the controller. I tried it on the deck and the controls melted my brain cause i was too used to mouse and keyboard
I have a M & K available, and play docked a fair percentage of the time, but when I’m docked, I still prefer the console controls over M & K for BG3.
Much more streamlined, the intractable UI is not as busy, and the whole game is much cleaner-looking (95% of what you’re looking at is the game world when you have no UI elements calledup… whereas the M&K UI are taking up a chunk of screen real estate all the time).
