Gaming

Been playing a bunch of Dinkum. Also Broforce and Necesse too

Nothing at the moment on the Steam Deck, still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom on Switch.

Before TOTK I was going back and forth between the recent Sackboy: A Big Adventure port and Pedestrian. Before that I played through the Spider-Man and Miles Morales ports as well.

Not to mention all the various emulation I've setup and been experimenting with, I can't even remember all the games I was testing out there, dozens of them!

It has been an interesting mix of things for me in the last few weeks. I have been playing a few Metroid games simultaneously. I never finished Prime 2 or 3 back in the day, so I'm revisiting Prime 2 currently and got past the boss that I got stuck on back in the day on my first try, so that felt good haha. Metroid 2 is one of the only Metroid games that I haven't played yet, so I started AM2R also.

I also randomly got into Soul Calibur 6 this weekend, which runs great on the Deck besides load times being a bit longer than I expected, but it's fine overall. I loved Soul Calibur 2 back in the day, so I have been going between both of those. The cool thing about fighting games is that they seem to age well as long as the mechanics are solid, so I think that SC2 still holds up very well today. It even has a native widescreen option, so it scales nicely to the Steam Deck's display.

I also picked up Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 a few days ago for just a few bucks, so I'm playing that sometimes too for variety. Street Fighter 6 releasing and now the Mortal Kombat I reveal has me playing some fighting games again apparently. It's a pretty healthy time for that genre right now.

I've been gaming on Linux for umm about ten years? Before that it was on FreeBSD and before that, it was on Atari ST. It feels so weird to finally be playing the same games as everyone else. Thanks Steam Deckers.

If anyone wants to spin up a private server and host some kind of game, I'll join your world! 7dtd is dropping a new release tomorrow.

It has become my Dinkum machine. So great to have a system you can just suspend and pick back up again. Aside from that I've been playing Cult of the Lamb on it. The deck seems to be the perfect fit for indie games.

Playing Persona 5 Strikers and constantly feeling withdrawal as I want to get to NEO:The World Ends With You after playing the DS original. Which I feel like is in the spirit of patient gaming, because while the game is like 2 years old, I got into this situation for playing a 15 year old game.

I got Drakenguard 3 running on rpcs3 recently so I've mainly been playing that. Also been playing Pokemon infinite fusion.

I tend to prefer games that aren't as heavy on the deck and stuff like cyberpunk and Elden ring better on my main rig.

Playing Resident Evil 3 Remake right now. I'm amazed at the graphics and how smoothly it runs for me. First Resident Evil game I've played, and it is so so scary!

So far I'm enjoying it though. The darkness, the lights and fires make it look so pretty and atmospheric

Burnout revenge and dishonored

I've been emulating Mario Party Superstars and Mario Kart 8. Yuzu's multiplayer is amazing!

Happy to be here. Vampire survivors for me, lol.

Wanna get into God of War, though

Mostly modded Skyrim on my Deck (enchanted weapons build), but the majority of my time lately has been playing Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch.

I’m waiting to play BG3 until after it fully comes out. I don’t have a lot of free time as it is, and I’d rather not play through the first part of the game multiple times right now.

Diablo 4 has been a blast and runs great on the Deck! Battery life isn’t all that great but it’s also a non-issue mostly as you need an active Internet connection to play anyway. So it’s not like I’d be playing on the go.

Last game I played on it, yesterday, was Just Cause 3. It's.. not great. The game just doesn't run consistently enough and is too CPU heavy.

I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 on it, that was great. Surprisingly so. I'm playing Skyrim now. I've had the game for years but never took the time to properly get into it. I beat the main quest and messed with mods back in the day but that's it.

Now, I'm playing it vanilla and I want to just go deep into the game, completely ignoring the main quest, I don't want to be the hero, if the universe needs saving, it can find someone else. Khajiit have caves to explore and stuff. Oh and the new Survival Mode is neat!

Control has been fun to play on the deck. Also started messing with ray tracing in the same game. Choppy when the effects are turned up, but it can do it.

I've been kind of slow to play anything on my deck. Right now I've just been emulating a ton of Nintendo games. Currently working on Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door

I have a deck, got the 64gb and replaced the eMMC with a 1tb SSD

I'm playing Middle Earth Shadow of War, since despite how old it is, I've yet to properly finish it. On the plus side, they removed all the microtransactions now

I'm also playing Diablo 4 on it

Just recently finished Eastward. Really nice little action RPG. Felt a bit lengthy with about 30h for me, especially the dialogues. However, great gameplay with good story and nice pixel art. Difficulty feels just right - generally not too hard, but sometimes challenging.

System shock! The remake is really good and worth a look for anyone who was into the BioShock games

Another one here! Mostly playing Witcher 3 at the moment. And before that Disco Elysium.

Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a procedurally generated cycling/BMX game.

I’m currently playing Persona 5, it’s a good game. If you haven't already, play MGS:V it’s an incredible experience on the steam deck.

Me! Currently playing Diablo 4, but I just picked up MCC on sale. Love this thing!
