[Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024

Jump

  • I've been playing some outer wilds, but new vegas is tempting me after watching the show.

    • Why does beehaw and Lemmy in general feel so dead?

    Jump

  • It's kinda the nature of the platform I feel like. The Fediverse is a bit confusing of a concept so it's less mainstream. On top of that, the content can be fragmented across different instances that might defederate with each other. Things could pick up in the future though, especially if people keep using the platform.

    • Dpad vs analog stick

    Jump

  • Usually the analog stick. I'm just more used to it so it feels more natural most of the time. But some games do play better with a dpad, so there are exceptions.

    • Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld

    Jump

  • I think the switch did pretty well actually and I get why they made the decisions they made. As much as I love my steam deck, the thing takes up like twice as much space as my switch, for example. There is definitely room for improvement though.

    • What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help?

    Jump

  • I think people tend to go for open source when it is a free alternative. Especially when it's still quality. Blender is a good example of this.

    • What is your favourite game console?

    Jump

  • I feel a lot of nostalgia towards my ds lite, even though I don't play with it very much these days.

    • Why do mobile games suck nowadays?

    Jump

  • I think it's because most people play mobile games as a way to pass time, rather than to do something actually engaging. So, people don't typically want to buy mobile games upfront, meaning devs gotta monetize in some other way, like p2w microtransactions.

    • Need game recommendations

    Jump

  • Hollow Knight and blasphemous are a couple of great metroidvanias and also a pretty good challenge.

    • Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android

    Jump

  • That's a shame... It was nice to have even if I didn't use it day to day.

    • Stray Animated Movie in the Works - IGN

    Jump

  • I didn't expect them to make a movie for this but it's a welcome surprise!

    • aside from here are you anywhere else in the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm on mastodon.world, lemmy.world, and kbin.social. I'm thinking of checking out peertube next!

    • using discord is morally lazy

    Jump

  • It is one of the first extensions I'll install after downloading a browser. It's essential at this point for me.
