Does it not slow down to an incredible crawl for you guys on the deck? It's not much to see but a slide show at 20 min+

Depends a bit on your build and how much curse you have but definitely enable performance mode. it makes a huge difference on the deck and things usually feels fine to me even at the end of a run with it on

e; also turn off damage numbers

Never. Getting down into single digit fps near the end of a run is half the fun.

I don't wanna poison the well by stating my intentions / plans, but I'd appreciate any feedback on what I've got.

It runs great on the Steam Tech so far. If I want to bother with a mouse and keyboard, I can even develop it in Desktop Mode.

Any steam deck vs switch comparisons? I'm assuming performance is similar so it's probably a battery life vs convenience of switching between desktop and handheld on steam question.

Just install chiaki4deck and remote play it so you can pretend

I played all of DQXI for the third time on it and it was a great time

Seconding this. If you've got a decent home network, it's basically lag free. I've been playing the new CoD as a handheld game, and doing darn good. So for a turn-based game, ain't no worries

Maybe I’ll get my access to the meeting space extended so I can go use the network that was provisioned for 2000 heavy internet users and will have 30 people on it. Or I have 15G of data left this month…

I imagine airplane wifi is going to be a much larger concern for chiaki compared to any deck-specific tweaks

Airplane Wi-Fi was really decent for streaming the last time I used it a few months ago, but the latency will be nightmarish.

I have been trying to play VVVVVVVVV but for some reason the game is only taking up like a 1/4 of the screen and I can't figure out how to stretch it. I tried manually setting the resolution but that didn't do anything.

is there an option for fullscreen/windowed in settings? sometimes switching to windowed fixes things

If it's running windowed, gamescope will only scale it from 320x240 to 640x480, so it would appear postage-stamped in the center. You can try setting it to fullscreen and/or enabling the in-game scaling. Usually you just have to fiddle with the settings to get this to work.

The Switch port runs at a locked 60 so I don't think there's any downsides (other than lack of modding potential). I ended up ordering a copy from Amazon Japan since it a good bit cheaper even with shipping. The 16% GMG price is even better for the Steam version though.

I kept my Tactics Ogre preorder on Switch since I still like owning JRPGs on tiny cartridges. But I’ll probably rebuy it in the future since it’ll for sure get really cheap on Steam long before it does on Switch.

If I gave a poo poo about cartridges I would maintain a library of cute little USB drives that each contain one game, and configure an emulator frontend to read from the USB drives, with all my saves backed up to a cloud service of some kind.

Many switch games, like %50 of the ones sold, are not on Deck.
