I beat Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines for the first time on Deck. KBM controls bound to the system really did it for me and since it was a low spec game it ran flawlessly. And the game’s reputation holds up (well written and engaging but janky lol)

Ooh, I’ve never heard of this one. I’ll have to check it out!

Well I didn’t first discover it on deck but I play a ton of Spelunky 2 on deck. Every time I boot it up intending to play something else, I see it there and go, “ooook just a couple rounds”

Just purchased one a minute ago, albeit in Canada.

Also, the LE is still showing as in-stock for me: store.steampowered.com/sale/steamdeck_2023LE

I think the OOS labels it showed a couple times might have just been from the servers getting overloaded.

Yep! I got one.

Got it into my cart within seconds, didn’t even get through more than the cart screen before I started getting 502 errors. Eventually went out of stock. But, showed back in stock a few minutes later and I was able to get my order in. My order email shows 12:29 (10:29 PST).

Already had a 512 Deck that I got in Feb 2022, but when you combine mainstream Linux gaming, OLED, and a translucent shell, apparently I have no self-control.

blindsight,

So glad I posted this, lol. I was still able to order an LE just now and was able to use the automated system to cancel my original order.

I saw someone who had similar issues, saying their account got locked for making too many purchases. Luckily their brother ordered one for them!

Of games that I've ONLY played on the SteamDeck, I think Dead Cells is probably my favourite.

Really enjoying Stranded: Alien Dawn! 3D Rimworld in a nutshell lol that or Songs of Syx!

Torx screws and threaded inserts is not really that much effort engineering side.

It has more significant impact on the cost. Millions of torx screws and threaded inserts cost more than self tapping Phillips into plastic.

Subnautica.

I played it when it was beta, could not finish it then.

It runs pretty good on the Deck, and I alternatively play it on the Deck docked to a tv on the living room, and on my PC.

It’s a good game.

Maybe I’ll finally get around to playing the Persona series with my Steam Deck…

Bloodstained is a top contender, I can’t say I first discovered it on the Deck, but it just feels right on a handheld, in a way that it didn’t with controller on desktop, and the Switch just isn’t good enough to run it at a passable framerate.

Fall Guys, have had it on steam since before it got bought by epic, having the SD and looking for good controller-based games right after I first got the deck convinced me to play it. I’ve played it almost every day since getting my deck in February of last year. Had been getting a bit bored of it just before the constructor update (user built levels), and the fact that it was broken for ~a week after an epic games services update didn’t help, but the new constructor levels sucked me back in. I usually play it in the morning to help me wake up, the whole bright colors & tight races thing really help my brain to start turning on.

averyminya,

I like fall guys on the steam deck too. But I liked it with the Steam Controller on PC so it’s stones skip away

stolid_agnostic, do gaming w Rant: Valve's new Steam Deck screws speak volumes about their ethos.

Are people continually opening their steam decks? I am confused at the opportunity to have stripped screws and dethreaded holes.

Some people are, yes. For modifications, mostly.

stolid_agnostic,

I can understand wanting mods, but at the same time, it’s not like you can open your iPhone without damaging it in the process. I guess I want to say that I can get why people would want to add stuff to their thing, but I don’t see why someone would expect Valve to have accounted for that.

Kedly,

Thats OP’s point? Valve has gone above and beyond what’d be reasonable to expect?

When I get my new OLED the first thing I will do is crack it open and swap the SSDs. Partly because the other one has all my data on it and it be an eternity to move it over and partly because the old one has already been swapped for a 1TB.

Crozekiel,

You’re missing the point of this post… They specifically made a change to make it easier to open and put back together without damage, which is not the norm in most related industries these days. That’s a good thing that we have been conditioned not to expect because of companies like Apple that fully do not want you to open your device ever for any reason.

Your comment sounds like “well you can’t open an iPhone without damaging it, why should you be able to open a steam deck without damaging it”… Very much corporate overlord shill vibes.

stolid_agnostic,

“Corporate shrill”. Why was it necessary to make it personal?

My point is that you can’t expect companies to do good things. Valve seems to be an exception.

Also you have to admit that the title frames it like a complaint. Top post points this out

erwan,

You just need to open it once to strip a screw

Had a good playthrough of Dishonoured 2 and Death of the Outsider on my Deck. They run extremely well on the Steam Deck and I found a control layout that I liked.

Dishonored 2 is on a 90% discount! Just picked it up, never having played it before.

What’s the control layout you found that works best for you?
