I don't know if a Steam deck will play everything that I want, but the Odin can't even keep frame rates up on a New Super Mario Wii. I'm waiting for the next SD sale, probably around Christmas.
I can't say anything specific about NSMBW, maybe it's a game Dolphin has problems with specifically, but I've tried both Wii and Wii U emulation on the Deck and even with Wii U emulation I can turn the Deck's TDP down to about half, depending upon what game I'm playing. Wii is no problem at all.

I'm not surprised. Also, it's not Dolphin. I have NSMBW and a number of fan mods, including the fantastic Newer SMBW, and both run just fine on Dolphin on both my very new gaming destkop and my 9-year-old laptop. The Odin just doesn't have the power that I need.

QUBE feels like a cousin to Portal. It's not easy to drop and pick up later, though. I played it for a few hours and had no issues with the puzzles. I took a break to play other games. I came back to it a month later and couldn't make any progress anymore. It's not a long game, but you can definitely lose your grasp on the puzzle systems. The puzzles are modular, so it's easy to finish one and take a break, but they build off of previous mechanics and expectations. It's hard to go back without that momentum.

This may be related to the new "Gunhead" game that's coming out in the 8th of November that was also featured as part of Steam's Demo fest: https://store.steampowered.com/app/704000/GUNHEAD/

They both take place in the same universe with the same characters and have similar gameplay devices, though how the two connect I'm not sure.

F.I.S.T is a weird yet excellent little game with really satisfying combat, and remains one of exactly 2 Metroidvainias that I've actually wanted to beat more than once (and to 100% it, at that).

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give F.I.S.T. a try.

I played Turnip Boy on mobile ('free' if you have Google Pass) and it's simple but funny.

Its a weird giveaway, where you had to have one of their games to begin with then have also gotten the first game yesterday.
But it was also janky for me yesterday when I saw the first game it still showed as $10 but when I added to cart it was $0.

I've been playing Evil Within 2 the past couple of weeks and i agree wholeheartedly. 2 is lightyears better than the first game, which is much more frustrating than fun. I still intend to go back and finish it someday but man do i find it to be a slog. The plot is still incredibly stupid though, that hasn't changed

I've heard good things about the comic it's based on, despite my distrust of comics about anthropomorphic animals that aren't also ninjas.

It's good (the comic). It's basically just...a detective noir where the people happen to have animal heads or whatever. I'm not entirely sure it was necessary that they be animals at all, but it works just fine and doesn't feel like a giant weird fetish thing.

you can tell the blacksad guy isn't a furry because he does the dimorphism thing where the male characters have strong animal features but the women are just humans with cat ears
