So I've been looking for a nice relaxing and/or easy game. Placid Plastic Duck simulator is now on sale. Steam says it's Playable, but it isn't listed as having controller support. Does anybody have experience with this game on Deck? Does it require keyboard mapping? Is there a community layout?

Other not really game specific questions I wouldn't mind an answer for:

• Is there a way to check for community layouts for a game without owning it?
• Does buying a game that doesn't have a demo and then refunding it because its compatibility isn't great count against me in some way? The refunds policy seems to mention something about abuse, but without a demo I have no other way of knowing.
• Any recommendations for relaxing games that are great on Deck? Journey was okay, but didn't capture my attention. I loved RiME.

Best wishes and thanks in advance!

Today I pulled my steam deck out of my backpack to find that it ate 15% of the battery sitting in the bag. I swear I heard the fan running in the bag.

Now, the fan is just running all the time whether I'm doing anything or not. This is incredibly suspicious battery eating behavior that I don't recall experiencing before. I've checked what's running with top and the Steam instance and two web helpers seem to constantly be eating up 30% of the CPU.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips or ideas on how to debug? I don't think the fan should be running all the time, just sitting on the main menu doing absolutely nothing.

The Deck has been sitting here on, doing nothing on the home screen for about an hour, and 20% of the battery has been used. This thing would never last 48 hours doing absolutely nothing.
