    Finally got over my laziness and set Retro Arch up so both my PC and SD can play and sync easily

    So I’ve been playing a bunch of old PS1 and GBA games for the last few weeks, Pokemon Emerald most recently

    Having achievements in old games is addicting

    I thought I’d have enough of Baldur’s Gate 3 by now, but I think I’m about to start my third playthrough. Even though performance sucks ass in the third act.

      Did the last update help much? It was largely performance focused but I haven’t heard much about how significant the improvements are.

        No, not really. I think it’s all the NPCs running around in the city. I bet that’s CPU bound, which is not that great on the Deck.

    Baldurs gate 3, crosscode, and might give invisible inc or RimWorld a try. And some occasional Halo infinite, somehow it runs better on steam deck than my windows PC

    I bought Forza Horizon 5 on sale, and then immediately fell into buying Sea of Stars. So splitting time between the two.

    Edit: Oh! And Bomb Rush Cyberfunk! Forgot about that.

    I’ve been playing through Sea of Stars. I’ve been enjoying it so far. It’s music and aesthetic are fantastic.

    Started playing Fallout New Vegas for the first time on the Steam Deck.

    Can’t mod it unfortunately, because it’s the GOG version. And it’s pretty ugly. But the tutorial area git me interested a bit. Let’s see how far I venture into the wasteland…

    Graveyard Keeper, Diablo 2 Resurrected, and I plan on getting Cyberpunk 2077 for the fourth time to play on the go - hopefully on a platform that crashes less.

    Was playing a bunch of Pokemon Fire Red, but then unfortunately had to RMA my deck. Waiting on a replacement. Luckily i still have my SD card, and i cloned the SSD before sending it back.

      Ouch, what happened to your deck? Also was it a new or refurbished deck?

        New deck, albeit on the older side. The physical buttons just stopped working one day. By that I mean the d pad and A B X Y buttons would just randomly be unresponsive.

    Factorio got me. It continues a pattern of games that can really take advantage of the deck’s controls.

    Vampire Survivor, Last Epoch, Path of Exile, Victor Vran, Adventures of Van Helsing, Wolcen, Warhammer Chaosbane, etc.

    I’ve gotten into Diablo style ARPGs and trying them all. So for Last Epoch is the funnest for me, primarily setting wise but PoE is fantastic, just soooooo many systems to figure out.

    Just finished my first playthrough of baldurs gate 3, so another playthrough of bg3 after i decided on some mods to keep me on my toes during combat encounters. Or i delve into the old infinity engine games (baldurs gate, icewind dale etc.) That i never really played because kid me did not understand them.
