Hey guys, I'm going to be changing jobs this spring to something that has me traveling a heck of a lot more. I love my Switch but I'm giving up hope of getting the library I assumed we'd have 6 years ago. I basically want to load something up with all the top-tier games I missed from the 2010's when I didn't have a PC. Also any Gamecube and PS2 compatibility is welcome. I have a RP3+ for my earlier retro library but would love to get more current games. Anyways, I caved and ordered a Deck on Monday. Says it's packaged and waiting to be shipped. Hurry up and get here, sucka!

Shoot man I smelled the vent before anyone told me to. Like first thing. Smells nostalgic. Reminds me of the Christmas that I got my first laptop, a Sony Vaio

It’s taking me awhile to get used to holding this thing. I’m so used to eagle-clawing handhelds, it’s weird to hold one that has the ergos of a controller.

Bob A Feet posted:When’s the next big steam sale? I have a big enough back log but I’m finding this thing is perfect for being able to knock out the single player/story driven games on it. You guys know to check stuff like cdkeys too right? Also you’re super right. I have so many games I’m gonna be able to finish now that I can just pick it up and go while the TV pumps out dumb poo poo. BOTW was absolutely amazing because I could do exactly that, then Nintendo made odyssey and only a few other decent games over 6 years.

Sweet! Also here’s another game report: I’ve been having a dilemma with Subnautica. I don’t want to dedicate my tv to a mindless out and back game (even though I love the genre) and it looks kinda bad on my switch. After some tinkering I got it to look pretty without going into leaf blower mode and now I get to enjoy this gorgeous game on the go and on my couch. Steam Deck! I’m actually playin games on it!

I honestly played the whole thing with sticks and the amount of times I had to aim in the air was very low. Most puzzles I could take my time setting up then MAYBE shoot a portal directly in front of me while moving. Nothing was harder than aiming my move-fast gel jumps and that was with the left stick.

How's Switch emulation? I have a Switch and pay for games but wouldn't mind playing MP Remastered on this now that I realized how much better the grips are.

I'm enjoying Subnautica but I want something story driven to play in between my drownings. I'm thinking about cracking open another well-liked game I've never touched, Fallout New Vegas. Prolly a good Deck pick yeah?

So much hilarious stuff happens constantly Same sort of laughs with The Forest, once me and a buddy decided to just start eating the cannibals. We’re enjoying the sequel all the same. We ate the first person that approached us, we had only been on the island like 4 minutes lmao. Co-op gaming is such a gift.

I honestly love the Switch's size and if they sold a Deck mini I would pay anything for it. It's the old rear end hardware of the Switch that turns me off.

Took my deck on the first of many work trips. The network wizard was hitting an error bringing up the hotel splash screen to log in so I closed it, opened a browser and did it that way. Bang boom, internet. Coming from the Switch, this is HUGE. So many times I'd have my game thing with me in the middle of nowhere, USA, ready to play some Kart or Smash only to have Nintendo OS completely botch loading the hotel's page to log in then tell me to gently caress off because their console can't have a decent browser in 2023. It's big but oh well, this is what's going in my bag from now on. Also, RE4R good then? I'm making myself play 3 and 8 first, then I get 4 as a treat.

I had PGA 2K23 disconnect from my network and crash last night on like the 15th hole during my first try of online. Is there anything specifically I should look for to keep this from happening or could it have been a fluke? I’m hoping it’s not just “new bad game” because I’m enjoying it on the deck.
