  • I used Linux Mint and GTX 2070 for over a half a year without any major problems. Installation was incredibly easy as there was a dialog box asking to install drivers and everything just worked. I have 4 monitor setup even.

    Ultimately I switched to AMD (last week) because of the tiny problems that I experienced but mostly because I wanted to support AMD and could reason for an GPU upgrade.

  • Neljä kuukautta sitten tuli tehtyä hyppy W10:stä Linux Minttiin ja aika helpolla säädöllä on pärjännyt, tosin ei nyt aivan täysin plug&play meiningillä.

    En kyllä millään usko tuota 19% mutta selkeästi omassa tuttavapiirissä on joko kiinnostuneita tai vaihtajia enemmän kuin vuosia sitten.

    Vielä en ole törmännyt yhteenkään peliin joka ei olisi toiminut eikä Windowsiin ole tarvinnut dual bootata kuin ensimmäisinä viikkoina.

  • I have to be bit against decky. Out of the five steam deck crashes I've had past year all of them were because of decky frontend. At least that was what the crash report said and it had also option of disabling decky until next reboot. So my experience was decky crash -> no decky&happy -> system upgrade -> decky crash -> no decky &happy -> system upgrade... rinse & repeat

    I'm not a decky (or steam deck) power user and last I checked the uninstall was not trivial so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I wish I never installed decky.

  • Quick version:

    • Install latest Java
    • Install latest Minecraft Java server
    • Play vanilla Minecraft

    Rabbit hole:

    • Bedrock / Java version differences
    • Modpacks, mods and Minecraft version differences (1.12, 1.20) require different Java versions.
    • Official server vs 3rd party software (papermc, purpur...)
    • Publicly open server vs firewalled
  • I started Yakuza 0 on my PC and Excavation of Hob's Barrow on my deck.

    Yakuza side missions are fun but the combat feels too repetitive. Maybe it gets better once you unlock more skills but I doubt it.

  • My most played game was Brotato. It just plays so well and one run lasts about 20mins which is perfect for me when I don't want to commit too much time.

    My most surprising game is probably a Trackmania which took a while to get working because of the Ubisoft launcher not playing nice with Linux but then again there are so many guides to get it working it's not that big of a deal. For me I had to change the wlan MTU packet from 1500 to under 1000 and all was well.

    Outside tinkering I'd suggest Heaven's Vault. Adventure/Puzzle game where you decipher an unknown language from glyphs. You can quit and next time you pick the game it will give a summary where you left last time storywise - such an awesome quality of life for short gaming bursts

    Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024

  • 100% not judging anyone who prefers mobas or MMOs. I just feel that as a patient gamer (with a huge backlog) I can't no more try or play another one.

    The time sink alone and psychological methods like daily missions/battlepasses/FOMOs they use to make me get hooked just now days make me want to skip all of those kind of games even when I'm really into the game/idea.

    I can experience 10 single player games (that I already have) instead of one GaaS game. I'm happier this way.

  • Whoa. It runs on deck? I just finished it on desktop. Completionist wise it was such a burden and I wish it didn't have any achievements. Hopefully your sand trip is awesome!

  • I'm so partial to buying the game but my backlog says no. Enjoy your cat ninja trip! I'll follow you in few years :)

  • The sad truth is that without news like this I would've never known who this person was and ultimately I think I would've been happier.

    Same applies to these certain US politicians. I know the horrible ones and none of the smart ones by name.

    I wish shitty people get zero news coverage, from now on to forever, but people like OP spread the word even when the news is negative. Damn.

  • Wait what? Slay the Spire was on your list? Care to elaborate on that a little bit more?

    All my Slay the Spire runs start with the exact same starter deck and I do not have extra health, damage, or other bonuses from my prior runs. I don't get your point.

    FTL? What the heck. If I beat the flagship I don't get any bonuses for beating it for my next run.

    I don't know if we understand 'roguelite where we get permanent bonuses for next round' in the same way. In Hades and Rogue Legacy your run will most likely be more stronger than your last run because of permanent upgrades. In FTL, Slay the Spire or Into the Breach you don't get those - you just expand the available starting gear / setups.

    Slay the Spire on Steam Deck is such a joy

  • I have an old iPad on my nightstand and I paid for Narwhal. I have no idea why I can still use it like the 'old times' but I'm grateful that I can still browse Reddit.

    It's a husk of the former site I loved but the niche communities I care are still there. I wish for and 2nd and 3rd, 4th etc dramas on Reddit to get people here but sadly it's a numbers matter game.

  • Firewatch on your list was awesome. Really enjoyed it.

    Never heard of the second last game.

    V6 and Super meat boy are such a legendary games. Enjoy! For other platformers I'd suggest Owlboy, DuckTales, Hollow Knight, Celeste and Rogue legacies when you have time or haven't played them yet.

  • Damn. I must play Brotato more. Not showing on the list

    (TRUTH) New year and reflection time for past 6 months

  • TW:Warhammer 1 has the added bonus that if you like TW:W games and in a few years buy the second Warhammer you can 'merge' the campaigns in to a bigger campaign called Mortal Empires. You can play all the factions (and DLCs you own) from both games in that campaign. Same applies to Warhammer 3

  • Chaotic evil here. No regrets.

  • I am somewhat of a patient gamer so I tend to focus on few years old games.

    Currently playing Valkyria Chronicles which works pretty well on deck ( I hate how finicky accurate aiming is ). Non-interactive visual novel storytelling and turn based combat puzzles works really well for short periodic gaming moments.

    Just finished Salt & Sanctuary and the remastered Grim Fandango. Both great on deck and good games overall

    How much do you use your deck? Was it a good purchase?
