Through a PS2 emulator
I’ve been vaguely replaying Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge. Pretty cosy, if a bit crashy. Also the performance is comparable to when I played it back on my 400 MHz Pentium II. I’ve never understood why it runs so poorly under Wine or virtualization.
Arc Raiders! It runs like shit but it runs lol.
On the Steam Deck? I had actually expected much worse from an UE5 title.
That said, we ain’t bringing down no Rocketeers or Vaporizers on them Decks.
Finishing up onimusha on my steamdeck. Well … Streaming from my PC to my steamdeck so I can hang with the gf around the house. Forza horizon 6 has been fun too
I was pretty happy with how it ran on the Deck itself, but I bet it would look pretty running on a full PC. Did you have any issues with latency making parries/etc hard?
Nope. I’m on the final boss and accidentally am super under levelled (level 2 on all my upgradables) so I’m pretty much issen-ing everything, and going from computer to steamdeck hasn’t been an issue

It’s such a good dating sim.
I’ve been playing a lot of Arknights Endfield on Deck. I had to waver between installing via Heroic / Epicstore, and Twintail Launcher due to validation issues. Might be nicer if it was in Steam, but I’m happy I have it working.
Downloaded the Witcher 3 last night after the free dlc remaster news. For some reason it had to update the entire install again today. I’ve had it for a little while but never put much time in it. I’m dedicating myself to getting through it this time.
Started Dishonored 2 on Deck. It flows better than 1, maybe because I know what to expect and how the game plays. Kind of dived into 1 with the expectation of playing it like a FPS. Waiting for my Frame, am on the reservation queue since the lottery. Having daydreams of playing the game in VR, that would be so cool, seems like a perfect VR game. Theoratically, there could be a way, but Linux support and especially Frame support doesn’t seem to be there yet. But as long as I can’t buy the Frame I keep daydreaming anyways.
I couldn’t get far in Dishonored 2 on my Steam deck: text was too small and jagged, both in menus and in-game trivia, like books, letters, etc. Otherwise a great title, yeah, with much smoother combat than the first game - not that the first game’s combat is bad, though!
Have you tried the Deck lense? I can read the text just fine, but before starting, I got a popup, that there’s a button combo to use a lense, to better read stuff.
Treasure Hunter Claire… It was on sale…
Control! Resisting the urge to buy Resonant by playing the original. It’s really awesome still and it’s much nicer on the Steam Machine than my old Xbox.
I’ve been playing Resonant (not on the Deck) and I have to say I prefer Control. Resonant isn’t bad, the mechanics are fun but it’s not a great sequel to Control. It just doesn’t have the same feel Control does.
I always play peglin to relax. I used to play a lot of hero’s hour but I kinda got tired, luckily hh 2 is coming out. I’m also playing a lot of idle/incremental games. An cyberpunk 2077 for the third time, but on a linux desktop
But what about us “only have Steam Controller” people? :(
We wanna be in the club and asked too.I asked the other club members and we took a vote. They said if have a Steam Controller and you’re still using it - you can be an associate member only. That basically limits you to two Half-Life 3 jokes a day and posting about how “my wallet hurts” or similar to 4 times a year. Otherwise - welcome to the club!
Hahah, superb answer! I will follow the rules to a T.
Asking
On the Machine I have been playing couch co-op Minecraft Dungeons II (streamed from my windows machine since it doesn’t currently support Linux). On the Frame I have finally been playing through Chants of Sennaar, I was also playing through Minecraft Dungeons I on the Frame (which isn’t technically Frame verified but I was able to get like 30 FPS at 1080p on that game).
I believe they released a patch today to add Linux support to Minecraft Dungeons 2.
They did, it runs wonderfully on the Steam Machine natively now.
completely unironically it’s actually so fucking good. it’s stupid as shit but is smart about it, gameplay is incredibly solid, and the soundtrack is somehow legitimately really well done. this game has no right being as good as it is but here we are
my only actual nitpick is that there are 2 “puzzles” that are so absurd that the best way to beat them (especially the harder one) is to lock your frame rate down to like 10. but tbh that’s also entirely on-brand with the rest of the game. funny enough the game calls you out for cheating in an achievement for clearing the second one at all - and it’s also required for 100%
