As the title says, we lost a fellow member of the deck community but gained a beautiful one in the process!! I was so happy when my friend texted me a photo of a steam deck she was gifted from a coworker! I’ve had my SD for about 2ish yrs now and she’s watched me play and has been thinking about it and boom look at this blessing! Dude idk if your out there but thank you because now we can game all night while laying in bed as we are supposed to :)

For now it's in its terrarium. I keep the moisture as high as I can but I'm afraid it doesn't like dry air. It must miss its tropical environment...

(I keep it in its case, I just wonder if it's good to keep it without batteries for a while.)

Games where 90% of gametime is on Steamdeck over desktop:

  • Psychonauts 2
  • Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders
  • South Park: The Stick of Truth
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Get to Work
  • N++
  • Ape Out
  • The Last of Us: Part 1
  • A Short Hike
  • Tunic

Games I played on Desktop first but realized work as good/better on Steamdeck:

  • Slay the Spire
  • Balatro
  • Megabonk
  • Nubbys Number Factory (weird controls but managable)
  • Paddle Paddle Paddle (way easier with triggers over keyboard buttons)
  • Streets of Rogue
  • 4D Golf (weird controls but managable)
  • TGC Card Shop Simulator

Games that technically work on Steamdeck but I prefer on desktop:

  • Kingdom Come Deliverance 1/2
  • GTA IV
  • A Difficult Game About Climbing
  • Into The Breach

Too I just played through the first Grace section (about the first hour) and I maintained around 60 frames the entire time and the game legit looks beautiful so far. Just thought I’d share my results so far!!! LCD launch steam deck btw!

They run really well on the Deck and, in my opinion, they’re absolute must-plays. The story is just insane.

Just wanted to let you know in case you’re looking for something good to play 🙂

Can’t believe I am actually gaming again, when I was younger those were days where I had all the time to sit in front of my pc all day everyday. But now adulthood hits me harder than a truck and I barely got time to even turn on my pc anymore. Before I had my steam deck I would take up my phone and brain rot till its time to sleep till a point where the guilt is kicking in and my attention span is noticeably lowered.

Most weekdays I would also need to wait for my GF to finish work so I could fetch her home( I finished work earlier than her). Sometimes I would have to wait for 4hrs on end. All those time were spent brain rotting. I can feel it affect my mental health and work performance since its kinda hard for me to focus on finish my projects without subconciously checking my phone.

After reading some threads and subreddit about people talking how great the steam deck is while using it on the go, i got hooked to the idea of gaming on the go. So I GOT ONE. Manage to find myself a good deal for the 512 GB OLED for RM1800( about USD463).

Now, I am one week in and I felt that my attention span is back, I can focus on things better, I reach for my phone less. So if you are suffering brain rot like me, please go get a steam deck and fix your brain rot.

I sold my PS5 and packed away my gaming PC when I got the Deck. Not as an experiment- just because I kept reaching for the Deck anyway

What actually changed:

-I finish games now. Couch-to-bed portability killed my "I'll play later" excuse. Later is always immediately, in bed, for 20 minutes before sleep

-My backlog shrank. Not because I played everything - because I stopped buying games I'd only play "at a desk." If I wouldn't play it handheld, I probably wouldn't play it at all

-I play older games more than new releases. The Deck made me realize I was buying new games out of habit, not desire. My most played titles this year: Baldur's Gate 2, Caves of Qud, Hollow Knight. All on sale for under $5

The one genuine loss: anything that needs a mouse. Some strategy games just don't work, and I've made peace with that

Has anyone else gone Deck only and noticed unexpected changes in how you actually engage with games?
