You’ve bought spaghetti Kelly, not cocaine.

I tried the demo, and I’m gonna be honest it ain’t for me

The gameplay is fine, but it’s the UI, controls and stuff letting it down. Its not very polished. Probably just early stages of development.

I had a frustrating start, trying to drive a broken vehicle for about 10minutes. I even googled why I couldn’t start the engine. (No luck) Then I got out and saw the icon indicating broken car. Yeah it’s me being dumb but a well built game would think of this and help the player if they’re trying to start a broken car

I stopped playing after about 30mins, the initial frustration used up too much of my patience

I may give it another chance in about a year or so, when it’s more polished and maybe out of early access

Also some of the controller glyphs are quite difficult to see on the deck, looks all jagged

Gonna check it out, thanks!

I’m looking for a game with realistic handling where I can race down some roads with traffic. Asseto corsa with mods is perfect but it won’t run on steam deck!

How’s the controller support? The steam verification doesn’t look promising

But you get it for free, I assume the costs are covered

Because there’s still a strong football/soccer community there, along with Reddit

Sweden? I know VPNs tend to like Sweden from a privacy standpoint

Haha thanks for reading!

And yeah it took me a few tries to get into stardew. Mainly because I was playing a simple looking game on a beefy desktop pc, it didn’t sit right with me

The deck however, being in bed and playing stardew?? Hell yeah

Not every game is for everyone, if you don’t like it fair enough and move on! But I will say it gets very addicting once you’ve learned the game and played through the first “season”

Probably their style. It kind of works

They feel like a standard Xbox/PS4 controller to me, which feels good imo

They aren’t rattly or get stuck. The positioning of thumbsticks could be lower, and the L1/R1 could be easier to reach like a controller but nothing terrible

It’s a game that requires next to no focus to play. Perfect for putting on a podcast and relaxing. Probably best for those who enjoy driving. Not everyone’s cup of tea tho, I get that

As for the UI, if it’s like ets2, it’s dated but not too bad. It is an old but very good truck driving game

Especially after you configure it with control settings on the deck. It has native steam input support so all controls are configured on the deck menus itself.

It’s really easy, I have right touchpad for looking around and using the mouse in menus, and back paddles to signals, center camera and toggle lights

For some reason, I simply focus so much better when playing ets2 lool. I can’t listen to podcasts any other way, my mind always wonders

Started going through my backlog a couple months ago. I want to give all worthy games a chance, preferably complete before I think about buying another

Started by cutting out all the trash from my library, bringing it from 110 to about 30. I then used a decky plugin to split the games up into:

• Playing
• Story Backlog
• Non-story backlog

I will have max 1 story game in my “playing” group and a bunch of non story games when I want a relaxed, not mentally focused session

Dying light - on hold after ~10 hours

too scary and the strength and stamina of the guy is annoyingly low. The idea of playing it sounds really fun, so I’ll probably pick it back up when I feel like playing a scary game

stardew valley - completed main story/objective (the community center). Took me ~80 hours

the only game I’ve completed this year but I mean it when I say I loved that game. Couldn’t put it down, even played for 8 hours straight once; which is very rare for adult me. Only stopped playing because I felt burnt out after nearly 80 hours. There’s still content for me to get back to when I want

the Witcher 3 - currently my “in progress” major story game

About 10 hours into my second attempt at a playthrough. Wow what a game. No spoilers at all pls even if it’s something that happens at the start

Dishonoured - abandoned after 9 hours

It’s a fun game, the story is okay but it’s just not gripping me. It’s a meh game. I abandoned it when I realised I kept procrastinating it and moved onto the Witcher 3 (thank goodness I did!!). Small chance I try again in the future.

Bully - abandoned after 8 hours

This game did not age well at all.

Very fun idea but it’s too old to enjoy. Controls too clunky, missions are too basic, doesn’t run smoothly and just a bad experience overall. The missions are also very basic.

Some of the casual, short session games I currently have in the rotation:

• Brawlhala - just downloaded, seems fun.
• Vampire survivors - lives up to the hype 100%
• Forza horizon 5 - my virtual Sunday drive
• Hotline Miami - stuck on a level! Quite a difficult game
• Doom 2016 - one mission per month is enough for me!
• Dirt rally 1 - have to be in a specific mood to play this!

Some games in my story Backlog (in no order):

• GTA IV - up next after I finish TW3
• Fallout 4 - I hate bugs and spiders though D:
• RDR2 - played prologue already
• Shadow of modor
• Shadow warrior

I just realised I put so much effort into a comment no one will read 🙃 it’s too late to delete now, I ain’t getting my time back so neither are you ;)

Now im doubling down and giving all the info!! I’ve got nothing better to do (apart from the fact I should have been asleep 2 hours ago)

Shower thought material right there

Used to be minimum 2-3C when I was growing up. With temps as low as -5c. Now it’s 11C

May aswell be a big red button saying “DO NOT PRESS”

Yup you’re correct. I don’t have any children, I do have loud siblings but they won’t come to me and disturb me lol

I do like to stay up but I end up “resting my eyes” and falling asleep with my phone not on charge hahaha

But then I have a free morning! Ive been awake since 7am on my phone and it’s now 10 30 and I’m still in bed, unbothered lol

I’d say assetto Corsa is better right now, beamng feels like a crash simulator or even just a scene creator rather than a proper driving sim

In asetto Corsa I can get real world cars in real world maps and drive it around

I think I remember an aeroplane in Google earth lol

I know there’s a very basic version of this online somewhere, you can drive a car on top of Google maps satellite view

I tried that on my steam deck, controller support is non existent from when I last played

Id say closest game right now is assetto Corsa with mods

Ets2 has trucks, even if you mod a car in it still feels and drives like a truck

I want to rip it around my home town in a fast car, swerving through traffic lool
