Can’t believe how much I am enjoying the SD. Just a 2nd hand 256GB LCD with a 1TB MicroSd.

Finding gem after gem in my pile of shame. No need to buy anything for now (although the steam sales are very very tempting). I did buy Witcher III and that will be long term game for a while.

Just got running my old Dirt 3 Complete (simple proton change) and boy does that hold up well for an old game. Ultra settings of course!

I continually am amazed by how our graphical progression in games isn’t massive in many areas over the last almost 15 years. The small screen helps of course.

I also have burnout paradise and nfs hot pursuit (both the original not remastered) working and they are also just amazing on the deck. No need to spend any $$$.

What I also love is that although steam may say incompatible it is worth checking protondb to see if there is a simple fix.

What’s next? There is a huge backlog to explore.

If anyone is on the fence about trying an OG Legion Go, just keep your Deck. I picked one up from the recent Amazon sale for $499 to try it out.

Yeah, the Go is a little more powerful and the screen is larger, but Valve has crafted the most comfortable and easy to use PC gaming handheld ever made. It's legit just on another level. I was actually appalled at how much the Go retails for and how poorly it delivers in comparison to the Steam Deck OLED.

Compared to the Steam Deck, the Go has extremely uncomfortable ergonomics, VERY loud fans, tiny joysticks, a barely usable trackpad, poor battery life, and ear grating speakers. Couple all that with how painful it is to use Windows on a gaming handheld and equally painful to get SteamOS on it to fix the experience. All of these things together don't make up for the minor increase in power and larger screen, trust me bro.

I'm never leaving my Steam Deck for another handheld again. It was quite scary.

For me it was:

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 ( KH3 being not really enjoyable on SD for me) Magicka 2 Path of Exile 2 / Diablo 4 Tekken 8 Death Stranding Risk of rain 2 SAND LAND Another Crab's Treasure BOTW with save from my swich being transferable Really any PS1/PS2 game

Other than the standard Balatro, Stardew Valley, Vampire Survivors, what games you didn't anticapate to hook you for hours on steam deck

This review is from perspective of a gamer who never had decent PC.

Backstory: I have steam account since 2014 to play free games available via Steam.

When I was in second grade parents promised me a new PC for homework and games. I worked my ass off, studied like a creep and sacrificed my friendship over hardware I've never got. Family I grew up with wasn't poor or anything, but parents view of video games was sceptical. After I finished forth grade, everything (even exams) were done none lower, than only 8 out of 10 grades (I have 10th grade system), promise was forgotten by parents without any reason.

Since then I only owned Asus laptop with ATI2700 video card that couldn't even run properly HalfLife 2.

During my 11th grade I bought Nintendo Switch as my first console additionally buying Zelda Breath of the Wild. Experience was great, Splatoon 2 launch, Naruto franchise, Zelda DLC + Animal Crossing made my last school days better.

Turning 18th was harsh. Joined military, sold Switch to a guy who wanted to crack it for "free games", haven't got much time to play it after bootcamp.

Saw the SteamDeck release, had a thought about buying it or not, forgotten about it.

Just 2 months ago, got a season job, bought SteamDeck OLED and since March 13th can't get enough of it.

As someone who can appreciate games made since 2012, that never couldn't be played with old Asus laptop, I spent best of my 518€ + 80€ for dock station in my life.

First I played the hell out of Titanfall 2. 60fps campaign, no problems with multiplayer. Man are simple,an is happy.

GTA5 was next. Some confusion running jt, figured out myself that it run okay in Desktop mode. Finished it, men happy.

Mafia 2 was third. Honestly loved the story. Jt was great. Since I downloaded Definitive edition, I was scared of FPS drops or something like that, but SD runned it like champ and had no issues. Man happy.

Battlefield franchise: Issues to run Hardline. Found Reddit thread explaining how to get over Windows requirement. Will try it out in the future.

Dying Light was perfect. No flaws. Just perfect.

Playing Metal Gear Solid 5 right now, issues to get used to controls with Xbox controller, but it's okay.

Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 was tested. Running good. Played both on my friends PC, hopes to fulfill my needs during lonely times without Steam Sales.

Update as im writing this:

Downloaded Skyrim and bought Deep Rock Galactic. Hope to finally play with my friends, that actually have decent PC's.

Conclusion: Money worth. Buy it. Love it.

Men happy.

Happy men confirmed. Girlfriend also loves it.

I’m Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite subreddit on the Citadel.

The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is on sale right now for $5.99, and plays beautifully on the SD. If you’ve never played this masterpiece of a trilogy, now’s your time.

Hello fellow doomscrollers.

I run the website Dad with a Deck. The website is exactly as described, I’m just yet another Dad with a Steam Deck. I’ve been slowly writing some content for a bit of fun and a creative outlet when I have the time. Lately I've been working on expanding my online presence into social media and the like so here I am putting one of my posts on Reddit.

Anyway, I've written a guide on how to install Battle.Net on the Steam Deck which may prove useful for your Steam Deck adventures. In my searching of Battle.Net in this sub, I found this brings up much older posts or posts about problems to do with Battle.Net as opposed to how to actually install it for the most part. So I thought I’d toss my guide in. Use it, don’t use it, but it will be there if you're interested.

And yes, I'm fully aware that you could also use nonsteamlaunchers to install Battle.Net, but there does seem to be a fair portion of users who don't use Decky or may not want to use a third-party application.

Well, thanks for reading and hopefully this guide helps someone along the way.
