Cloverpit and Balatro, as well as trying (and failing bc my WiFi sucks) to stream GTA Online and Skate to my Deck from my PC

Don’t tempt me to spend even more money on games I will forget I bought 😅

My friend has been using theirs for several years to manage their home server and for gaming. They tend to have it docked by the TV and use KDE connect and/or a trackball mouse and keyboard for server stuff and an 8BitDo controller for gaming.

They haven’t seen the need for a dedicated console since and they had been gaming on playstation for decades prior to getting a Steam Deck

Same lol should have guessed that would be too good to be true!

I’m not OP but I wanted to say that’s really cool! My dad set up a server for me and my sister when we were kids and some of my core memories from my childhood are playing Minecraft with friends.

There’s just something special about legacy console editions that modern Minecraft lacks.

Been playing Nova Lands in the evenings, it’s a pretty chill automation game.

Sounds like an awesome idea.

Been enjoying playing Vampire Survivors on my SteamDeck, it’s surprisingly fun for its simplicity and barely uses any battery.

Also just started Nova Lands because I heard it was a good gateway game to other automation games. It’s pretty chill. Unsure how fun mid to late game progression is but I’m enjoying it so far.

Yep! I installed Spotify and Plexamp in desktop mode and added them as a Non-Steam apps. Then in gaming mode I just open the game and my audio player of choice simultaneously!

Enjoying Powerwash Simulator on my SteamDeck this week, it’s the perfect game to chill and listen to podcasts as you play.

Also been enjoying Skate 3 on the PS3, I’m pretty close to completing the game so have been working on the last few challenges.

If franchises count then the Skate trilogy because I ended up hyperfixating on it. The controls are perfect and the vibes (especially in the first 2 games) are immaculate and really being me back to the early 2000s. They’re the main reason I have a PS3 that I use regularly tbh.

If not then Minecraft Java Edition because it’s so easy to play with friends and there’s tons of mods and ways to play the game.

Edit: not sure if I misunderstood the title, if it was asking about 2025 releases then disregard this lol

Can’t believe I’ve never heard of Backloggd before, it seems cool!

I use How Long To Beat to track my games and backlog across a bunch of platforms.

They have a website and a mobile app.

Edit: I thought they had a mobile app but I cannot for the life of me find it anymore!

Also been trying to set up Minecraft with the Legacy4J pack and Midnight Controls to relive my nostalgia for Legacy Minecraft.

Basic answer but I’ve gotten back into Powerwash Simulator recently. Perfect game to play on the Deck whilst listening to podcasts at the end of the day.

Legacy Minecraft has such a charm to it that modern versions fail to capture imo
