Steam Deck Gaming News

Oh man, thank you so much for doing this !!! I'll devour every post you make.
-
*ma'am!
You're so welcome!
It's a bit of awful thing, writing up something like this and wondering if it's going to go down okay (for me anyway!), but that might be a lot of the typical Reddit user responses tainting my previous experiences doing this kinda thing!I'm glad the responses are positive here, you can count on this being a regular thing

Once you get the hang of Markdown, you'll enjoy it far more than Reddit's shitty syntax. You've got way more options here since they implemented a well-tested and widely used system.
Don't forget to use the formatting help link next to preview button!

Seems like I should give Junk-Store another shot
I had installed it back when I was on beta branch and it was… funky. It had me sign in to Epic and then the frame / overlay wouldn’t go away, I had to force restart my Deck just to make it usable again.I tried a few times here and there and ran into the same issue, so it’s just been sitting installed as a spooky button.

It's definitely more polished and complete now!
The dev also works hard, especially if a user has any little issues, they have a Discord and Git page all where help and previous issues are detailed and worked out step-by-step on a fix.
There's also a huge list on games which work via Legendary, and any tweaks users have reported to make games work are listed there on the Discord, too.I'd be curious how you find it, after so much time has passed between the beta and now! Do update how you go! (I've shared that people have written comments here about Junk-Store, with Eben the dev (hi Eben), so I know he'll be lurking here)

Same ! Thank you @[email protected].

Thank you for doing this. I particularly like the GOG part as I usually prefer to buy from them. Most of the Linux gaming advice and news out there is catered to the majority of 100% steam users though.

Reddit used to use Markdown too, before the new mobile-oriented UI.
-
Thanks for this. Keep em coming.
-
I love finding other GOG fans!
They're my absolute number one, and that tended to be my focus. I'll keep it in mind that especially here, there's more of us! -
I promise I will be!
My only issue is somehow keeping it formatted nicely (I miss peppering these with pretty pictures and GIFs), and being able to stop!!!
And you should try both! They're very easy to install, and I absolutely swear by RetroDECK

Still does. But I think you need to manually enable it

Thanks for the newsletter! I am not good with fediverse how do I like and subscribe... Your talk of emulation on the deck awoke something in me. I checked and yes, it appears you can emulate 360 on it too.
I was interested in the rest, but this has driven every other thought out of my head. I don't even know how to make breakfast in this state. I'm a wreck.

Great write-up, thank you!

Oh my Gosh the Steam Deck has been by far my fav gaming purchase. I was the same, rarely playing anything, looking for something new, but the convenience of this thing changed everything for me.
I adore how it plays to two strengths: for those who want a simple console-like experience, it works right away! And for those who want to tinker (me) - the sky is the limit!!
Look for my friend's work if you decide to buy one, he makes something called Decky Loader. From there the customization is endless!

Make sure you check for a 'Xenia compatilibility list'
This is a spreadsheet showing whether any particular games are working, and how well they work. Some don't play at all, and some play perfectly!
I have 5 PS3 games installed on my Steam Deck, through RetroDECK right now that play perfectly, and a couple that required tweaks!
I do remember that Xenia (the 360 emulator!) plays Skate 3 perfectly, though!
