A healthy attitude to take. Having a Deck is finally letting me get through the backlog, I'm not going to start adding to it again!
Same, been going through my backlog and only rarely adding to it, although the Humble Choice subscription which i still can make myself leave keeps growing it slowly 😅
Well I run !freegames@feddit.uk so I end up filling the backlog with freebies faster than I can play them anyway!
Oh no! My backlog! 😱
Psychonauts 2 is 90% off. Though it's not Steamdeck verified it's Linux native and should run pretty well.
Nowadays, I don't even check if it's SD compatible. I just check if it's controller-friendly.
Protondb is the place to check.
Played through it on my Linux PC, worked flawlessly. Fantastic game!
I picked up this and Slime Rancher so far!!
gonna do what i always do; open up my wishlist of 300 items, cry, add 10 more things, get indecisive and close it
You forgot to add something to the cart and then remove it a few days later.
i would never do that looks at the five things i already have in my cart
Oh boy, oh boy!
I bought: Duck detective https://store.steampowered.com/app/2637990/Duck_Detective_The_Secret_Salami/
Balatro https://store.steampowered.com/app/2379780/Balatro/
Powerwash Simulator https://store.steampowered.com/app/1290000/PowerWash_Simulator/
Animal Well https://store.steampowered.com/app/813230/ANIMAL_WELL/
Animal Well is one of the best games of the year. So good.
The less you know about anything going into it, the better.
I bought Skyrim, again... The special edition. And I got Tanuki Sunset which I didn't know had a full release all the way back in 2020. I played the fuck outta it in highschool on the web. Really fun game I recommend checking it out, you can play the classic version for free on itch
How many skyrims do you have by now?
I finally bought Nine Sols.
You're in for a treat! They just released boss rush too!
Picked up Balatro and Dave the Diver.
If you enjoy Balatro, try Inscryption next. Don't read anything about it, just hop in blind
love inscryption! It's really unique and a lot of fun.
I was stoned af when I finally won my first run 5 hours into it, and my mind was absolutely blown
If I can walk away with only 1 or 2 games by the time the winter sale ends, my backlog will thank me.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Hopefully plays decently on the deck.
I finished it on the Deck, it was basically perfect aside from achievements not triggering in the second and third games iirc. Modding it was a pain in the hole, had to essentially install the game on a windows machine, mod it and then transfer all of the files over. Not sure if anything has changed in the last year.
Doesn't that require an external account and running the fucking Origin client on device? I've seen that go to ludicrous levels of discounts (currently at freaking 92% discount) but FUCK THAT!
Out of stock in Germany.
This sale, only Sonic X Shadow Generations. I have a big payday in December though and will be buying a lot for Christmas.
Maybe Sonic is good again. I'd hope. I'll buy Frontiers since I've tried to avoid spoilers for too long.
Fyi: hunter call of the wild does run well on the deck. It's quasi realistic and quite peaceful hunting game that very gradually unlocks less realistic stuff to make hunting and tracking easier.
Picked up Crime Scene Cleanup yesterday and I'm enjoying it, so far.
I bought up Psychonauts 2 and Jedi Fallen Order for myself. A friend gifted me Astlibra (which I'm really excited about), and Brok the Investiagator.
I also gifted a copy of Shadows of Doubt and F.E.A.R. Hadn't realized until after my friend tried it, but turns out F.E.A.R. is one of those games that runs perfectly on linux, but doesn't run well on Windows anymore. Requires multiple patches to remove memory caps for windows, and even then it still has fps dips for some reason. Meanwhile linux/steam deck runs it perfectly.
