Baldur’s Gate 3. Second playthrough, first time on the deck. The ability selection wheels on controller are not great, but overall I’m really impressed with the performance.

Having a blast playing as a bard with several mods to extend the musical abilities. The native mod manager that Larian added to the game just works, it’s phenomenal.

I can’t wait to see what the modding community does now that they’ve figured out how to create custom campaigns.

Fuck Ted Faro! Wait, wrong place… Oh… Oh no…

Yes definitely pull it out. Celebrate any progress in the right direction. Write down one word. Fill out one tiny section. Now positively reinforce it - that section was easy, nice. If that’s what you get done today then so be it. The next section will be easier.

Yeah unfortunately it has the awful EA launcher tacked onto it, which you also need an account for. I had to launch the game from desktop mode to actually get through the EA login for the first time. After that steam does a pretty good job of keeping it out of your face. Every once in a while EA updates it and breaks a bunch of things, then Valve fixes it again. Fucking EA.

Edit: The games work great otherwise. I always check here before buying: https://www.protondb.com/app/1328670 There are tons of games that Valve has not verified but still work great on the deck.
