Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

    I’ve been gaming on Linux for umm about ten years? Before that it was on FreeBSD and before that, it was on Atari ST. It feels so weird to finally be playing the same games as everyone else. Thanks Steam Deckers.

    If anyone wants to spin up a private server and host some kind of game, I’ll join your world! 7dtd is dropping a new release tomorrow.

        I had to upgrade my 520ST to 1MB just to keep playing NetHack after a significant release increased the requirements for all features enabled.

      I hope you know everything that runs on the SteamDeck also runs in Steam on a Linux PC.

        Not only do I know that but my whole point depends on the reader also knowing that.

          In that case I don’t think I understand your point. It sounds as if you couldn’t play the same games as other people until the Steam Deck arrived? But in fact Steam has worked great on Linux for much longer than that.

              Sorry, I didn’t mean to be a smartass it just seemed like either I was misunderstanding you or you were misunderstanding something. Proton has been around ever since the Steam Machine was released eight years ago.
