Haven’t seen a post like this recently so I thought I’d start the conversation !

I’m close to finishing Wario Land 3 (emulated GBC), which was the game of my childhood, I’m surprised of how tricky some levels are.

I also started playing The Eternal Cylinder but it’s quite a demanding game so I’m thinking of playing it on PC instead

Tunic. Playing it filled me with a sense of wonder and discovery reminiscent of the first time I looked at the map of the original NES Legend of Zelda. Amazing experience. I’m in the final chapter of the game but not finished yet.

Tunic is great, I reached the end awhile back but have been slowly going back and chipping away at some of the final puzzles. It kinda feels like two separate games, there’s the initial Zelda-like with a moderate share of puzzles, but once you get to the end you can mostly drop the Zelda parts and it becomes a top down version of the Witness.

I just got ending A. I pretty much knew what “Take your rightful place” was going to mean, but seeing it happen was pretty bleak. Makes me want to do the other ending now.

That’s a great game with so much hidden shit and things to work out.

It’s a hell of a ride, and just the right length too IMO

A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…

I just modded my Switch, and tomorrow I’m gonna try to get Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom dumped and working on my Deck

You’re in luck - it’s fully possible to get Balatro to run on mobile: https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker

It runs quite well and is a very good fit for playing on mobile. The only downside I know is that it drains your battery like mad.

I too am addicted to Balatro. I made progress though as I installed RDR2. But afterwards right back to Balatro.

Try the Steam Link app from your phone. I haven’t tried it with Balatro but I think it worked fine with Slay the Spire.

I’m playing two games at the moment:

Yet another run in Nier: Automata, second playthrough, first time on steam deck. It runs surprisingly well.

Stardew valley. For steam deck it’s a killer game - 8-9 hours on a battery, perfect for resting.

I also have Snowrunner and Vampire Survivors as my go to games.

It’s a story that’s been told here before, but one of the major projects that makes the Steam Deck work (DXVK, which converts DirectX in Vulkan for Proton) was made because a guy really wanted to play Nier Automata on linux.

It’s one of the games I missed when it came out and it’s on my backlog for a while. Good to know it runs well on the deck!
