  • Depending on a game, either of the two:

    • Right joystick with continuous activation or release (latter being less reliable)
    • Right trackpad menu in an action layer, sometimes through a chord

    For example, I can have the right trackpad behave as mouse most of the time, but switch to a virtual menu on click, each item also being activated on click. Some of these items can be bound to weapons, but if that’s not an option, like there’s being more weapons than I can comfortably fit onto my virtual menu alongside all the other stuff I may want to see there, I could hold L5 to turn the trackpad into a different virtual menu, all dedicated to weapons. I often use gyro on right trackpad touch, so I’m okay with giving mouse input on it for a few moments when I’m switching a weapon.


  • OpenRA on PC (I totally suck 😅)

    I’ve been gaming for decades and still suck at RTS. So bad that I have been eyeing various titles without daring to approach them. Wish you luck and believe in yourself - don’t miss out on the fun like I do!

    GTA V on PS4 again but I consider getting it for the Steamdeck 🤔

    I’ve been playing some games on Steam Deck with the goal of making greater use of the trackpads for movement and a combination of camera and a multi-button menu (mouse as default, action menu layer on click that is removed upon click release in the layer itself). It’s incredibly fun when you configure it right! Truly feels like a new way to experience something familiar - greatly recommended.


  • The Talos Principle.

    Been sitting in my library for a while. Kept holding off because I wanted to use my brain less during leisure, but puzzle games just help me relax and bring me so much joy, even when I’m exhausted - really great alternatives to my beloved shooters, ESPECIALLY when I’m exhausted.

    I’m loving this game. Super excited to play other titles in the series. Or even beat it again, this time in a different language just to learn it, because there’s just so much to read - which I also love.

    And it’s loaded with secrets and Easter eggs. Some have made me mad, but very proud to finally discover. I’m at a point where I still wonder if all the secrets I have uncovered are indeed secrets, meaning optional and lead to something extra, or I’ve been fooled to believe I have free will and achieve something beyond the bare minimum. If you’re reading this and know the answer, please don’t reveal it, as going blind really makes this game shine.

    And of course, loving the environments and the soundtrack. Such a pleasure after a work day or anything else you want to unwind after.
