Yeah I’ve played some games on GamePass on my Deck via MS Edge and xcloud. It works pretty well for anything where input lag isn’t a factor, like turn-based games.
I tried Rocket League and Forza just for shits and giggles, and while it’s not unplayable, it’s also not responsive enough to be enjoyable

I’m so excited to start BG3! But my co-op buddy doesn’t have a gaming PC, and it’s delayed on Xbox. It’s ok though, because we’re still enjoying a campaign in Solasta, another CRPG based on D&D rules, although with a much lower budget than BG3.
In the meantime when I have gaming time and he doesn’t, I’ve been playing through DOS2 on the Steam Deck and with some mods. It’s scratching the itch at least!
Cool, thanks. I’ll definitely look into the setup before I get one. I don’t mind fiddling to set it up, as long as once it’s set up, it’s quick and simple to use.
Yeah, between the 3DS and the Deck my portable needs are probably well covered. I have a Switch too, but I really only use that for Ring Fit Adventure anymore (the exercise game)
The Deck is a really nice piece of kit. It’s “portable” in a very different way than the 3DS though. I’m not putting the Deck in my pocket, and in its case it takes up a huge chunk of my backpack. Also it’s kinda tiring to play handheld, just because it’s so big and heavy. But for gaming for an hour or less, I really like it. Perfect for chillin on the couch while my wife watches her murder show
I’m looking forward to the ownership base growing—hopefully more games that don’t traditionally support controllers (like Civ and Cities Skylines, etc) will in the years to come. I’ve used the Deck trackpad in games a little, but it’s not an enjoyable experience.
Those little handhelds look so cool! But I just got a Steam Deck a couple months ago, and I have a modded 3DS, and I work from home and don’t really have a legitimate use for another portable system haha
Maybe I’ll get it for myself for Christmas or something. What’s the OS situation? Or more to the point, is it easy enough to add roms and emulators and navigate to the game you want each time you turn it on?
What spec? I leveled as a holy priest in vanilla, and in retrospect I think that might be the worst way to level haha. Maybe resto Druid would be worse?
It’s a single player, top-down, 2D space combat and trading game. If you ever played Escape Velocity back in the mid 90s(?), it’s essentially a clone of that setting and gameplay.
