     @YuiHirasawa I think @LukeAlmighty and @coolboymew have it? Hell, I think lots of people on Fedi have the Steam Deck, but I haven't actively looked into that, because I personally have zero interest in it and zero interest in PC gaming in general, so I'm definitely not the person to ask for anything more in-depth 🤷

     @YuiHirasawa @ChristiJunior @coolboymew
     Don't worry about the UI size. You will get to most games so much, that you won't need to read stuff.

     But I spent my time on Stardew Valley and Monster hunter rise.

     But as long as the game has a gamepad layout, it should be ok :D

     Also, Steam deck is a great chance to try GTA IV, since the windows persormance of that game is horrible. It doesn't run on half the PCs even these days. But the linux bros seem to have solved that issue somehow.

     @coolboymew @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty I just got one, and I'm looking for recommended games that work well with the controls and have a UI that fits the small screen well. Could be anything really

     @YuiHirasawa @ChristiJunior @coolboymew
     Although, I have one recomendation. If a game is fine at 30FPS, run it at 30.

     If you don't see shadows or high textures, get rid of them. Temperatures and battery life matter on a hand held. And while it is a beast, it still is better experience to be able to play for hours.

     @LukeAlmighty @YuiHirasawa @ChristiJunior As for the controls, if a game support a normal controller, it works already. For everything else, most of the time the dev posted a control scheme. If not, those other times, there's an autist with 1000 hours into the game that will have posted one

     Well, that's not what I meant. You just don't really NEED to see text in most games, as often as you would expect.

     But yeah, I would definitelly not recomend 4X as a genre :omegalul:

     Sure.
     And also, you never know what you will figure out.
     When I was playing GTA-V, I set the gyro-on to the same button as aiming. And that worked WONDERS for that game :D

     @LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @YuiHirasawa yeah, it's awkward for some games. Games that expect you to type a lot of stuff like Pony Island are kinda not fun to play because of the keyboard UI. OH WELL. Obviously, there's gonna be some of these games
     
     But a lot of other games are surprisingly playable. I played Unreal Tournament, there were a bunch of already posted layouts, and then you edit it to your liking and... man, it's actually playable
     
     And then a computer JRPG like Anachronox which is very much a PC game in the retarded control scheme and an autist with literally 1000 hours pushed one that actually worked

     Cloud saves.
     I am serious, that thing is amazing. I play on PC, but when I don't feel like sitting, I will just grab the deck, and continue from the same spot.... INCREDIBLE

     @coolboymew @ChristiJunior @YuiHirasawa @LukeAlmighty even without multiple devices cloud saves are a life saver when uninstalling/reinstalling games going between OSes/installs. I wish there was clearer indication when game does NOT support them, i lost some saves because of that.

     @hj @ChristiJunior @YuiHirasawa @LukeAlmighty I think it's just written on the store page or something but a quick function to find out which currently installed games doesn't support it would really go a long way
     
     Also perhaps set up your own cloud save?

     @YuiHirasawa @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @coolboymew itd be easier to list games that DONT work well on steam deck. any action game will work, FPS games mixed results depending on how good you are at controller aiming (try using gyro). some of my favorites:
     katamari, the first two games have great ports that run at 60fps
     shotgun king, its a mouse game but turn based so using the trackpad is comfortable
     death stranding, not a whole lot of aiming and runs surprisingly well, albeit lots of text and menus
     slay the spire, dicey dungeons, work great in controller and short sittings
     project diva, always been a portable series but the heavier steam deck makes it a little more exhausting
     monster hunter rise, not much to say just good shit

     @jeff @ChristiJunior @YuiHirasawa @LukeAlmighty @coolboymew @why Is building a computer from used parts too expensive for you (or you already built one like I did)? It seems like it's getting cheaper for DIY gaming PCs if you ignore unoptimized AAA gaming benchmarks.
