I love the Souls series and it fits so well with portable play. All of the souls games play very well on the steam deck and the save and quit at any time format is perfect. The only issue is preventing myself from throwing the system out of frustration 😂. But ultimately these are the games I seem to be playing the most!

I'll preface this with the fan I've been in Tech support or some other IT role pretty much since high school. I've always had a knack for tinkering with computers. A couple weeks ago, I traded some old gaming miniatures for a first Gen Steam Deck my friend had, but never really had a use for it, so it gathered dust. I immediately realized all the potential for this device. No longer was I chained to a desk with a tower and couple monitors away from the family if I wanted to play a game, I could play it damn near anywhere!

It had the original 256 GB drive, and my friend threw in a micro SD of similar size. Seems like a lot, but I quickly filled them up with games I enjoy but haven't had time recently to play. I decided then to upgrade the internal drive.

Springing for a 2TB SSD from Western Digital, and an external m.2 nvme case, I got to work. My original plan was to use a live Clonezilla USB stick to clone the current drive "as is" to the new drive hooked up externally, and then later use gparted to resize partitions. Watched a quick video on how to swap SSDs in the Deck, and off I went.

The cloning process was almost straight forward. I picked all the defaults, going for a Disk-to-Disk clone, keep original sizes, no FSCK, and it was looking good, until it got to the main partition and the cloning process failed due to bad blocks(?) on the source disk.

Restarted the clone process, but this time I chose to run FSCK with auto fixing. This time it worked, and I successfully cloned the old drive to the new drive.

After swapping in the new drive, I booted it up, hoping I didn't screw anything up. Thankfully after several long seconds of torture, the Steam logo appeared and the system booted. Went into the settings, and was surprised to see that the full 2 terabytes were available already, no need to mess with partitions! It has already expanded to fill the drive.

I've been a Steam Deck owner from nearly day 1, and I love it. Over time, I wanted a more powerful option so I grabbed a Legion Go and let me tell you: the magic that goes into making the Steam Deck "just work" should not be understated. On paper, the Legion Go is better, but the Legion Go really suffers death by 1,000 cuts:

* D-pad is nearly flat atop the device and makes consistent diagonal presses impossible. In one fell swoop that cheapens any old-school or digital-controlled gaming on the device.

* Mouse movement is like a laptop trackpad. Have to swipe swipe swipe..... even max sensitivity isn't enough. Spoiled by Steam Deck's trackpads...

* Limited customization of buttons, no programming of simultaneous inputs. Too many buttons, but also some missing buttons that can't be programmed or require simultaneous inputs (like Xbox/home button).*

* Ergonomics are just bad. Button placement is bad. Too heavy.

* Tons of little technical issues from flip-flopping portrait/landscape to Windows Magnifier being a broken mess in games (hey, don't take the Steam Deck's magnifier for granted either for that small text).

* Hours of setup to remove bloat, free memory, and yet....

* Battery life and memory management is terrible.

....and there's more -- a lot more. Doesn't matter what's under the hood if the steering wheel is mounted to the roof.

Thankfully, I found a fix for my issue: I returned the Legion Go for a Steam Deck OLED. Now my wife and I play together on Steam Decks. This is the way. :)
