Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is "working great" or "perfectly". I believe I'm in the minority, but I just can't enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it's because I'm used to playing mainly on PC. Still enjoy my Steam Deck a lot though, even if it can't keep up sometimes.

I have different expectations for different games. Generally I want the battery life around the 3 hour mark, though; if it can't hit that, I don't really want to play it on Deck.

I prioritize framerate over graphics 100% of the time. If a game hits 60FPS but I have to drop all the graphics settings to Low, that's a W for me. For AAA stuff, I'll do 30FPS if I don't have to drop the resolution too much, and if that 30 is STABLE.
