I hope that game wins game of the year lmao. I spring for the DLC, it was only a buck fiddy and the hand is a good time waster.

Wife is unimpressed I spent $700 for a toy that can play a game you could run off a potato of a phone.

How is that possible when there are no Vampires to survive from in Vampire Survivors? :thunk:

A lot of times I’ll get kind of bored of a game, but not certain that there’s anything I would rather play, so I’ll flip to the library to check.

When I see the perfect game to play instead, but there’s already a game running in the background, it takes way too many clicks to solve that.

Why isn’t “close old game, open new one” an option on the pop up?

30fps seems to be what you should expect from videos I’ve seen, maybe 40 if you lower settings.

I’ve only played ER on the Deck so far, but with literally everything at “high” in the settings (as per autodetection) I get 40fps pretty solidly, and mostly high 30s if I take the TDP down a few watts.

The game plays great, IMO, though I’m still in the first major zone. (It’s my first Fromsoft/Soulslike game and…there is a learning curve.)

FWIW, I generally just hit B a couple of times to get back into the game, kill it with Steam+B long press, and then pop back into the library. It’s not exactly one-click, but I’m launching the new game within 5 seconds of deciding to switch, so I’m happy enough.

Anyone else dealing with this poo poo?

I got Potionomics from the Steam Holiday Train (special thx to BabyRyoga). Putting aside the actual game, which seems pretty cool so far, I was disappointed in that the game basically has no controller support and you need to use the trackpad. Not that it doesn't work on Deck, but I was hoping for something a little more as it looked like a great Deck game.


good game! when this happens, email the devs and politely ask if they plan on improving deck/controller support. just recently two games have added or improved deck/gamepad support because of my correspondence. in one case they simply weren't familiar with steam's robust controller settings features: they'd already added deck support but the official controller profile needed work. in both cases they were very happy to take my suggestions.

and if you return a game bc of bad gamepad/deck support, note the reason in the return dialog box, because... why not? couldn't hurt.

It’s discussed frequently in the VS thread which kinda became the genre thread and yeah opinion is pretty positive on it.

That’s still 9000 entries in your non-Steam tab, which is gonna get real annoying real quick. I’d use SRM to just add Emulation Station as a non-Steam game and use that to launch your games instead. Using its scraper tool to get boxart will also probably be easier.

I’ve done this with the different emulators. I just got them individually from the discover store, so one for dolphin, one for duckstation etc.

The one problem is that I’ve modified the control scheme for some of the games. For example a bunch of the ps1 rpgs have run as a button you hold so I added it as an outer ring command so I don’t have to hold it. But since they’re all launched from a single app in steam I can’t easily have separate control schemes for the games that could use it.

I still don’t want to have a bunch of emulator games populate my list so I just added different control layers instead, but I wish there was a nicer way to swap the control scheme.

Does anyone else get static-y audio when they wake a game from sleep? It happens sometimes and persists until I reboot the game.

I've gotten static and at least in Dead Cells' case I've gotten like a 10-second delay between input and audio that stays until I restart. Switching Proton versions has helped but I'd love not having to do that.

I just started Hades, thinking "ok, how can this game be deserving of THAT much praise? How?"

And around 1-2 hours later, holy poo poo. And I realize I'm just scratching the surface. Could've sworn Hypnos was voiced by Rob Paulsen, but no, it's Greg Kasavin doing a fantastic Rob Paulsen impression. Dusa's a kick.

on the goon deck wiki, if i want to add one "how to get this to launch" tip, do i just create a page for the game or is there a quick list of some kind for stuff like that?

Yeah it's fun. It could probably stand to be a bit more difficult since its' really easy to put together builds that very comfortably go the distance. On the flipside, it's really easy to put together builds where 80% of the screen is full of various explosions and bolts and enemies are flying everywhere, so that's a lot of fun.

Runs pretty well on the Deck. Some minor chugging when 80% of the screen is full of explosions and physics ragdolls, but never to an unplayable degree (AT LEAST NOT SO FAR!) and I had a lot of fun with it on the Deck.

Also, vampire survivor runs very good and cool and mortaccio is my friend :skeltal:

Elden Ring for £27.99... but I just installed Dark Souls 1 & 2. do I really need a new game?

anyway i was trying to make a recovery sd card using balena etcher or whatever it's called, and it gives me an error message every time I try to select the image file from steam? I've tried re-downloading it and it fails every time. it's not because I'm using an sd card instead of a usb stick, because it happens before I even pick the target device. any suggestions other than doing it on a pc?

edit: the original dark soulses one and two, of course.
