My Deck arrived today and after checking the settings out I found the battery charging limit. Are you guys using this, recommending it and what are your experiences with it?

Your top 5-10 emulated games

I guess you can call it looking for games , it’s a bit of that plus just plain curiosity. When you got your deck I’m sure many of you had a ton of games you thought about and wanted to emulate. So what are your top 5-10 games that are staples or must haves in your library?

For me it’s

1. Zelda Link to the Past ( I do a play through at the very least 2 times a year sometimes more )
2. Zelda Ocarina of Time ( same thing lol)
3. Twisted Metal Black
4. Yoshi’s Story
5. Golden Sun ( probably one I was most excited about , I loved the crap out of this game as a kid , was awesome to get to play it again )

I splurged and got myself a Refurbised 512GB OLED 2 weeks ago. I'm a WFH desk guy, who travels every few months. I got it thinking about playing away from my desk, or if I'm not home. I don't own a reliable personal laptop either.

Here's a shotgun of my thoughts after 2 weeks:

Coming from a Nintendo Switch, this thing is 5x more comfortable to use.

This thing can do a LOT. Here's a few things I set up, and it took just over a week to have it all perfect:

• play a huge chunk of my Steam library
• remotely or locally connect to PC to play games it couldn't otherwise run
• remotely or locally connect to PS5
• Currently set up to emulate multiple Switch games, all with 60FPS mods. Special shout-out to Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate; with texture mods and an FPS mod, there simply does not exist a better way to play it.

Shout out and thank you to all the guides and content creators out there who showed me how to do 99% of this. I'd never really touched Linux before this SD.

Top games played on it so far: BallxPit, Hades 2, Monster Hunter Wilds (remotely), & No Rest For The Wicked Together. I want to play more Satisfactory, but the shift from M&K to Deck is gonna take some adjustment.

I setup Apollo/Moonlight over Nord VPN's Meshnet.... and goddamn the latency is incredible. Having tried MH Wilds over Steam Remote Play in the past, it was sluggish and didn't "feel" right.... but with Moonlight I actually stop noticing any lag at all. That's with a PC Host in Canada, and the SD playing in the US. Oh and I had originally set up an SSH connection for wireless file sharing, but when that failed, Meshnet also fixed this problem.

On DeckyLoader, I could not recommend the TabMaster plugin more. I was bothered that it was hard to find my Switch games, but with TabMaster, I have a tab called "Nintendo Switch" that will automatically keep up with Emu-deck tracked Switch games. Love it.

I downloaded some custom start-up animations, then put them on shuffle, so every once in a while, just booting up the Deck randomly gives me a laugh.

DeckyLoader, in general, is incredible.

Lossless Scaling, while tempting... I haven't felt it necessary so far. Anything that would need it, I'd just run remotely over Moonlight.

I'm likely gonna use it as a "Wii U" screen during upcoming DnD sessions, for my character sheet. Desktop mode, rotate image, *boom* it's now a reader/kindle.

I'm almost overwhelmed, having infinite, high quality entertainment 24/7.

Next purchases are accessories like Grip-button covers and a screen protector.

For me, I came from the Switch. What really kept me on the Steam Deck and made it my main gaming device was the huge library of games that aren’t available on Switch and the fact that it runs them well. What did you switch from and what kept you?

I don't know about you guys but if I am going to go through the trouble of sitting crunched at my desk to game, I'm gonna play the games that I could only play on my pc (tac fps or beefy games). Having my steam deck has acquainted me more with the simple or short games I would typically pass on even if they were dirt cheap. What games have you guys found an appreciation for that were for whatever reason unappealing that you've enjoyed on your steam deck?
