is that ever really gonna happen though? it seems more likely it’s impossible for our time and it’s driving the existential anxiety of our octogenarian billionaires

Can’t say for sure (there’s always a chance some mod or other is horifically optimized) but these look like they’d be fine. Skyrim was originally designed for 0.5GB of ram and SE for 8GB (PS4/XOne), the steam deck has 16GB unified memory so you’ve got headroom to add extra textures/objects npcs to the loaded space. I remember playing a lightly modded FNV run on the deck at solid 60fps, also some unmodded F4 at 40-60fps depending.

The real issue you’re going to have is using a mod manager through a translation layer like WINE - there’s easy installers available, but there’s still a layer of finicky-ness to them. Once you’ve got it set up right though, it’s just one more click (or tap) to get to the game. On that note - while it’s possible to use the touchscreen to install mods, I wouldn’t recommend it :P

they’re 10-30% harder to find than direct downloads. internet archive usually has torrents but the interface and searching sucks

miss my cool trans discord hangout spots, hasn’t been the same since 2020
