I thought it’s like where it gives you a few lines of reasoning like “text is too small”, “doesn’t show universal prompts” or whatever.

Valve says a Deck Verified game will only ever have a SteamOS compatibility rating that is the same or better

What about point and click games? It can’t be the same or better without trackpads?

Run from terminal and see what went wrong.

If you’re using a launcher with built in logger, refer to that (I’ve seen one on lutris, not Bottles, unsure about heroic).

This is the way. For every steam game I don’t have on gog, I have a repack on my backup NAS.

Good to know. I just bought it on gog’s sale.

I didn’t give it a good chance before because it was getting multiple 99gb updates. It was pretty fun though and it would be well past that stage now.

You can run steam from a terminal, and it could show you any errors that are popping up during the game launch.

I just installed MGS5 and Ground Zeros. Having never played a Metal Gear game, so I might hate it but I want to try.

Desktop mode I find just fine, steam controller was how we operated a htpc for a few years. Gamepad control worked for kodi, but anything else I had to drop into desktop and mouse around with the touchpads and triggers. Little bit more finnicky with the deck because of the size of the pads though.

I’ve been in Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island (1-3 are my jam) lately. Technobabylon. I’ve been working my way through games I haven’t had time for because of work, like Gemini Rue, the Rusty Lake games. I never played Day of the Tentacle back in the day either so I’m keen for that one. Va-11 Hall-a.

I could not get handy with fps games on the deck at all. I really wanted to run Borderlands 1 again but I was just getting murdred trying to aim with gamepad controls. Touch on right pad activating gyro set me on the right path, and that technique translates to my steam controller when I dock too. It feels more natural to be able to flick around like with a mouse as week. I briefly had a ps3 in 2010. I could not play fps well with a pad. I went from Sega to Dos, to Win 95/98, back to Sega. So I never played around with thumb joysticks. They were never part of my life until I bought a ps3 and just fumbled around with it.

Also Blood. I’m through the first two episodes but put it away for a while.

Been on a Kknd kick in the last few months. But it’s worked so well I’ll move into some other favourites when I’m done - Dark Reign, Total Annihilation, Blood and Magic.

Last year I did my 3000th Fallout 2 run on my desktop pc, but now I’ve got a deck I’m planning to do my first ever fallout 1 play.

In Torchlight 2 (this has been my deck go-to for hack and slash), I play using both pads to move mouse. Getting into the rhythm of it, I easily cover the entire screen by flicking over one pad and setting off in the other. It’s a technique I started using on steam controller some years ago.

I haven’t played Grim Dawn on deck yet, but I understand people are playing it with native gamepad control, I’ll see how that goes.

As always, I’m not going to be able to play half my usual games without touchpads.

Analog sticks do not make a good mouse replacement.

Are you using a dock? I just have the dock plugged straight into the receiver and it’s fine.

Also I had heard the official steam dock had problems doing it, I’m using a 3rd party one.

Adding, receiver is a Denon from around 2008. Dock is Jsaux.

Terraria

Grim Dawn

Skyrim

Stardew

Borderlands

But this is just steam, doesn’t include all the time I’ve spent running the shadows (Shadowrun on Sega).

Ys 1 & 2 Chronicles. I always liked the idea of Ys as a series, but couldn’t get into it, now I’m forcing myself.

My two favourites as well. I never made it far in Torchlight 2 though, once I started getting further in; Grim Dawn came along.

Bleh. But in the end I don’t expect anything good out of the AAA industry. I goes it’s an exception nowadays whether as gave like this can be good. And I mean, it’s not like I was gonna play it anyway.

Haha. No, those games give me no frame of reference. But that kind of tells me everything I need to know anyway!

Why is that? I played Origins on ps3 but I’ve never played any of the sequels, so I have no idea.

Yeah, handheld war, Anbernic vs Miyoo, amirite?

What is FC25?

I’m fairly sure when you load it up with that dlc active, it warns you that it will be significantly more difficult.
