Year of the Linux desktop!
Here here!!!



The Deck has been my only gaming PC for a while lol
CK II on steamdeck? How easy is it to navigate the UI?
It takes a bit to figure out a good keybind setup and you have to use the trackpad for a lot of stuff, but it’s not too bad overall. It wasn’t inconvenient enough for me to grab my bluetooth keyboard at any point at least.
Same!

This might change next year, though… I see a Steam Machine in my future.

How was E33 on the Deck? I didn’t play much of it there, I was afraid parries and dodges would be a bit of a nightmare to time perfectly.
It’s a lot better after the update a few days ago, but back when I played it I actually installed a performance mod to make it run a lot smoother. I thought it was very playable, but I’m also trash at dodging/parrying consistently. I’m assuming it was more of a skill issue than the game’s performance though.
That’s good, does it still look like shit though? So far it’s been a game I just only play on desktop
There are some video on youtube, it’s still kinda blurry but the game is still pretty beautiful imo. Definitely won’t look as good as it does on desktop.

Are there a lot of bots and casuals that keep these medians so low or do I need the get outside more?
The average steam user barely plays 8 hours in a week.
Bot accounts bringing avg down

The only part I want to share is this:

You beast! I just managed to reach 58 days :(
Once again dominated by stardew valley for me
The steam deck is just too ideal of a form factor to play stardew valley, isn’t it
I didn’t use a keyboard and mouse once.
All controllers or VR controllers.

If I had to guess, the game isn’t gamepad optimized i.e. CIV 5, so the game is marked as a keyboard game.
Just shows how well steam input works.
I guess so! I do use steam input. I bet it’s because I use a PS5 controller with Destiny 2. Even though it’s a Sony game, I don’t get native support.
Yeah I received similar wrong numbers. I am nearly 100% controller at this point but I got ~25% also.
Hail to the King, baby 😎

My favorite was all my playtime for 3 months, going thru the initial campaign, then fell off a cliff

Chained Echoes was just fantastic
It really is. I’ve heard good about Sea of Stars, which is on my shortlist.
Sea of Stars just didn’t click for me. Having a cook fight side by side two trained-for-life combatants was terrible for immersion.
I like my stories to be a bit more gritty too, it feels sanitized.
Sea of Stars is one of my all time favourite game. I love nearly every aspect of the game.
But I can understand that some aspects of it can aim a specific type of players
Played it this year, too. The start felt a bit slow but I really loved it!


I don’t play that much on the deck but had a couple of days off work because of sick kid so it was a life saver.


This, was a busy year. Silksong very much carried my Steam Deck usage.

I only just got a steam deck partway through the year, so that probably skewed the stats some
How does windblown compare to dead cells? I haven’t heard much of it after launch which is a shame considering how much i liked the first game.
It’s early access and unfinished still of course, but I’m having a lot of fun with it. Coop is an absolute blast, and while they’re still tweaking it the combat feels really good, and nothing seems too cheap. Plus, it’s adorable. I would definitely recommend, especially if you have a friend or two you can talk into playing with you. There are public lobbies, but not many at the moment that I’ve seen. I usually just play solo though lol
