Man my backlog got so big these days, not even a steam deck can finish it anytime soon.

I think I will slow down and enjoy games that I already own instead, like back in the simplier time. (Took me months to finish SMG2, but I loved every bit of it)

Hell yeah! Both DLC are so cheap on GOG during black Friday .

You’re in for a treat! They just released boss rush too!

Nice! Heat up the handheld war and give us innovative design and more choice.

This is giving me Wii vibes. That thin dock design really remind me of it.

Witcher 3, Just finished the main story. And boy, CDPR really nailed the story/ character writing in this game. Looking to grab “Hearts of stone” & “Blood and Wind” DLC next GOG sale.

What an amazing 50hr time sink!

Nine Sols!

Who would’ve guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck’s speaker is just so satisfying.

Elden Ring & Resident Evil 6!

Elden Ring: Man this game is so long but fun. I just can’t help myself playing this game everywhere. Somehow getting my ass kicked, and winning a fight or two time to time, kills time so efficiency.

RE6: Despite it’s bad rep, it’s a really good game for couch coop on a TV. The performance was great, and just really enjoyable when laughing at bugs & absurd writing with friends.

720p upscaled to 1080 looks really good, and is a nice balance for performance.

Some TV don’t play nice with the fps caps, try uncapping the framerate if you don’t mind some fps fluctuations.

Rock&Stone btw.

I can only speak for Wii emulation, it works great.

OLED deck have excellent Bluetooth compatibility with WiiMotes, I can hook up 4 of them using emulated bluetooth mode. (Can’t get passthru mode working tho)

Some configuration beforehand such as changing all four controller slots into “real WiiMote” & enable continues scanning is all you need to do.

Just a side note. Switching between handheld and docked mode is a dull process. In order to switch input source you have to go to desktop mode every time.

The Elden Ring one actually isn’t so rare. It feels more like a 10%. Every time I boot up the game I half expect it to crash.

Really cool! Love to see some modding. And wow, that full kit of IFixIt.

Dead By Daylight! This game is very comfortable at low wattage. 45Fps @7w all low. The deck basically turn DBD into bite sized excitements.

Bought an OLED model for 6 months. I still use it for 60% of my game time.
Sure, 40% of the time I need to have online experience with friends (Fps games / long gaming session), or the games simply don’t feel right on The Deck.

But being able to use it everywhere is just so nice( friend’s place / sitting in garden / on my bed). Plus, I regularly use it as a mini TV, watching YT and Netflix on it.

It’s surprising they’ve paid for an anti-tamper for THAT long, instead of spending those money to keep updating the game.

Using the Tomtok ultra slim carrying case. It feels very close to the NS’s one , and make carrying it much less of a chore.

Would like to try out the Killswitch, but I remember it takes the place of grip case too (Meaning I can’t use other grip cases).

I agree. Context matters!

1. The bigger/closer the screen is the more you’ll be discomforted by low fps.

2. Different genre of games feels different. (Fixed camera games are less likely to dizzy you compared to FPS)

3. I found that input method plays a role too. M&K or Gyro input will feel sluggish in low fps. Wile pure stick inpit might be fine.

I can see this method useful for Wii games that utilize pointers!

OMG This is so much quicker, Thanks!

Do you mean feeling dizzy? Keep the FPS >= 60(you can try to push for 75), and increaseing the fov might help.

Also keep a good 30+cm between eye and deck. I too often found myself sticking my eyes to the screen when really engaged. That cause a lot of dizziness. 🤘 and 🪨
