That sucks.
Yep. It's okay. I'll get one again soon. Temporary financial issue.

Just finished Dispatch, which is now my game of the year. Started up Eiyudean Chronicle Rising.
I've heard a lot of good things about Dispatch, I should probably check it out.
Arc Raiders!
DON'T SHOOT!
Hello raider!

Just started Skyrim with my SO. Using a USB-HDMI cable to display on the TV but sit on the couch with the controller.
I've been playing Stellar Blade, it runs incredibly well on deck. I took the default deck preset, raised FSR to quality (which looks pretty good while maintaining stable 30fps in combat), and then used lsfg-vk to double the fps to 60. I get some minor ghosting but overall it looks pretty good and feels smooth.
I've been kinda hit or miss on Souls-like games in the past, but I'm really enjoying the combat in this one and finding the boss fights and exploration to be very enjoyable.
I also have been playing RV There Yet? with some friends, and just finished it yesterday. As far as "friendslop" games go, it's excellent, way better than I expected. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for something to play with their friend group. It's not on sale right now, but it's only $8 so there's not much to lose.
BallxPit right now!
I’m almost half-way through Persona Strikers; enjoying it so far but it has some really weird difficulty spikes at odd places. I’ve fought mid-stage mini bosses that I lose to like 30 times and then wipe the area boss on the first try.
Other than that, chipping away at occasional hunts in Monster Hunter: Rise (which is currently crashing when I’m hooked up to my monitor, need to figure that out) and piddling about in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor and Snowrunner.
A weird bug with Monster Hunter Rise I ran into while playing docked, is that the game has issues when two controllers are connected (ie Deck built in controls and an external controller). It might also mess up if you have only one connected, but it's designated as controller "2" or something like that. Iirc the game would play fine, but everytime a monster roared it would drop to 0 fps for several minutes, seemingly frozen (but Deck UI would work fine).
There might be multiple solutions for it, but I think what I did was used a decky plugin to disable the deck controls, and then made sure my wireless controller was set to be controller 1.
I have a similar issue with RetroDeck; I can usually just pop over to the controller config and reorder so my controller is #1 rather than the Steam Deck. Bit annoying though.
"My Time at Portia": it's not exactly the best-coded game ive ever played (weird geometry and animation bugs, and some of the plots feel half-assed) but the world is big, and complicated, and there's lots of crafting and relationships, and overall Good Vibes. I built a bus stop last night and married a nice girl who sells flowers. I recommend.
It's currently on sale on GOG for €3.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion came out today and I've been glued to it
Damn... 🙁 It's more expensive than Streets of Rage 4. The sweet embrace of my backlog for me.
Finally taking a break from BG3, though that will probably only last until I have a SM sitting in my comfy gaming zone.
Still heavily playing Deep Rock Galactic with friends, Streets of Rogue has entered my short-time gaming rotation, and I just picked up WH40K: DarkTide on the recent sale.
The Last Sovereign.
NSFW game
It's made with RPG maker. It's free and the story is interesting. I am using a walkthrough because there's no grinding to level out the difficulty curve. It's quite hard early game.

Seance at Blake Manor, a lovely mystery game. Great on deck.
I know December 3rd Guild Wars reforged will take over for sure.
Currently Rock and Road is probably most played with a little Clover Pit thrown in.
Currently playing Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. Had a slow start but finally picked up and became more interesting with the morally gray characters. Interested to see how this game will rank among other Tales of games I played and loved.
Utopia Must Fall is a delightful Missile Command style game that finally runs on the Deck (it didn't when I bought it). Lots of old school fun.
