Muscle memory, having the cursor / aim be an upredictable variable depending on the speed of the movement feels very wrong to me.
Floaty feeling, one of the things I try to do first with every Bethseda game is to try and force raw mouse input, otherwise it feels like I’m trying to control a mouse cursor that is sliding on ice.
I have not tried the RawAccel druver you’ve linked so can’t comment on that.
RDR2 on Steam Deck. I never got far when I originally played it on my PC a few years ago and have been itching to play it again for the last few weeks.
Started a new game and so far it’s running really good.
Work and IRL stuff does not leave me with a lot of hours to game, but I did manage to put in a good few hours.
Blizzard Games are coming to Steam

What is everyone getting this Steam sale?
Avoid Manjaro and use something like Endeavour OS if you want an Arch based distro.
I’ve used Manjaro in the past and had tons of issues with it. The distro itself is Arch based but does not follow the same update philosophy.
Updates are stalled to apparently test for any potential conflicts, except it seems that they do not do any testing at all and just hold back on updates and cause more issues by doing that (ie package dependancy lagging behind)
Not to mention all the drama and shady stuff that was and is going on with Manjaro, I would not recommend that distro to anyone.
I’ve also used Mint, Kubunutu, Pop… and even Garuda on various desktops and laptops and never run into any game braking issues upon initial installation.
Man the original Bloodlines, even though I never got around finishing it, was such a unique game. Deb of the night, the city, the hotel mission, twins from that club, general atmosphere… an all around great game (I am aware of quality being sub par during the later parts of the game).
BL 2 looked janky as hell, to a point I think everyone was clear it would flop. I pretty much completely forgot about that game. Just read this morning that they’ve switched devs.
For people that have bought into early access, are you finding the content so far enjoyable? A tough question I know, since barely a part of it is out.
Still have my Rise of Nations CD somewhere. I loved games like Civilization, don’t even remember how I stumbled upon RoN, a really great game.
Voat attracted quite a number of people that were on the extreme end of things.
Times out while importing your CV, blanks all the fields and makes you redo it all from start.
ATS and ETS are such chill games. Nothing but endless roads and your foot on the pedal.
I used to watch a streamer play My Summer Car whenever I could. I love the games that are just their own thing.
WoW, but with short and longer breaks. It’s a massive time sink, and I simply do not have the time that WoW demands in order to accomplish most of the things.
It can be an enjoyment, can be fun, can also cause you to burnt out so fast.
Was also the Gran Turismo 2 opening song. What a game.
What’s not to like about a device sporting a 5 year old CPU paired with a 720p display and 4GB of RAM costing 2.2k usd?
Under no circumatances should you do that to a Lithium battery. That’s a relic from NiMH battery era and was done for specific reasons you can find online.
Fully draining your Lithium battery will shorten its lifespan. Many new devices have a way to even limit the max charge and keep the battery in the optimal 60-80% range.
Playing this on the PSX was such a unforgettable experience. The soundtrack is a banger to this day, level design was interesting and made me want to push further.
KDE + Latte dock is what I use. Very simple and minimalistic setup with no widgets.
Played it on my switch a few months ago after many years, still holds up beautifully. The radio stations are spot on and, just like you said, the low poly graphics (even on the DE) are so easy on the eyes.
I got the 64GB just recently and with a 512GB SD card I’ve put off upgrading the internal SSD for now.
The swap is really easy for anyone that’s ever tinkered with any pc hardware.
I’d say the 64GB version is absolutely the best choice.
It takes two is a phenomenal co-op experience. We did a couple of runs and enjoy the whole thing each time.
How’s Stellaris like on the steam deck? I have the game, but haven’t tried it on the deck yet.
I have both, got a Steam Deck a week ago. It’s a beast compared to Switch.
Feels like a much more quality device and with it being so open you can do anything you like on the software side, plus some of the HW seems much easier to replace / repair.
If I had to choose between a Steam Deck and Switch now, I’d go with Steam Deck without a second thought. You can even emulate all of Switch’s catalogue on the SD.
Both ToME and Caves of Qud are amazing games. You can get ToME for free off the official website
look into some of the community made controller templates, as there are a lot of keybinds to cover it could be easier to use a template as a starting point.
Without spoiling anything, the atmosphere can get tense but it’s never a cheap jump scare type of thing. You’ll pretty much be more appreciative of all the “horror” details than you will be scared.
It’s so worth it, one of those games that sticks with you long after you’ve finished it.
Reminds me of clear PSX controllers, really nice sort of a retro look
Really digging the yellow colours, they remind me of the famous Bruce Lee yellow sweatsuit.

I was dual booting Windows / Linux on the same drive on my laptop for a while (before I got a separate drive for each of them), Steam Deck should be no different.
Good news is that it pretty much works flawlesly. Bad news is that Windows really liked to mess up Grub after almost each update. It requiring to manually reinstall / reconfigure it.
That was pretty much it from what I remember.
Been using it for years now. Such a fantastic and straight to the point tool, that still has all of the functionality one might need.
CherryTree is one of those apps that is very likely never goong to be removed from my devices.
Taskbar icons are so slick and sharp. Everything looks great.
Handheld, I don’t use the SD docked.
This depends on where you bought it. If on Steam, you just download it directly from Steam.
If on GOG, I do believe you will need Heroic launcher to actually be able to download the game to your Steam Deck.
Have not seen anyone mention one of the best rogue like games out there, Tales of Maj'Eyal
Base game is free to download and play from their website. Massive world, tons of loot, an incredible number of classes and abilities to combine, it's such a fantastic game that also has native Linux support.
How's Minecraft as a singleplayer chill game? Been debating on getting it, just to explore and survive pretty much.
Seems like it can go a long way.
I’ve seen quite a few mods making it even more immersive. Also seems to be quite playable on the steam deck even with mods.
Thanks for the reply.
SOMA is one of those games I wish I could forget and play again for the very first time.
What a band.
I got FF XII and Golden Krone Hotel in the end (so far?).
I’ve already played a bit of XII on my switch as I got a new physical copy dirt cheap and enjoyed the game.

If looking from top left to right my favourites are 3,4 and 6.
Give Vintage Story a shot. It’s Minecraft as a survival game and much more than that.
Looks beautiful too.
What an enchanting game this is. I’ve never made it that far but the world building is simply superb. Recently started playing it again on my Steam Deck and it plays wonderfully.
Live and drink friend!
