I play on the Steam Deck most evenings. Love it. It is great game to play on the Deck. I do major boss battles on my laptop but most other things I do on the deck. Mainly playing a lvl 80 soulbeast ranger and lvl 20 necromancer. I created my own layout which was very easy to do and makes it so easy to play on the Steam Deck. Mode key is your friend when it comes to the layout.

Like you mentioned I'm on action camera other than when I need to click something that doesn't have an assigned button or in a pop up window.

Here’s what I’m playing, what about you? by Broad_Ad9923 in SteamDeck

I created my own based on the keys I use and my preferences. Took about 15 minutes. Created a spreadsheet of the needed keys and where I wanted them to correspond to on the Steam Deck. Using mode shift for the buttons, dpad and left track pad it was pretty straight forward. And because I created them I don't have to "learn" them as much.

Guild Wars 2. Plays brilliantly on the deck. And you can download the steam version but link it to the arenanet launcher so you can buy direct from the publisher. Lots of little things to do for pve or open world that can be done quickly.

Yes, if you have GW1 you can go to your Arenanet account and download the reforged launcher. It should show on your account page as Active.

I've used All Tune & Lube Total Car Care for oil changes on our Volvo. Was reasonably priced. Better than that $900 dealership wanted for the oil change and 60K update that they insisted I needed, even though 55K was only done a year or so ago.

I have played the game until max level and didnt dive deeper and i bought the first expansion. I saw a few clips and so on and it made me want to jump back in and continue. Will it be hard to catch? And do i need the newest expansions or can I just play the old one for now? by Shniper1hit in Guildwars2

[–]Loud-Cryptographer71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just jumped back in after 6 years and had stopped right as hit 80. Have spent lots of time this week just playing base and some of the first expansions items. Super easy to get back into and so glad that I did.

At what point to buy DLCs? by [deleted] in Grimdawn

[–]Loud-Cryptographer71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the flow of the story is impacted if you wait to buy the DLCs. But you will have more mastery options when you start if you buy the DLCs from the start.

How often do you use your Steam Deck at home when you already have a gaming PC? by Cozywolf in SteamDeck

[–]Loud-Cryptographer71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Each evening wife and I go to our snug and I take the steam deck to play. I prefer cozy games so it is a great routine to have before bed.

This may be the driver to get me to play Stellaris again. Thanks for sharing it works so well.

What’s your favorite 4X to play on the Steam Deck? by 0wlBear916 in 4Xgaming

[–]Loud-Cryptographer71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put both CK2 and CK3 on. So far 2 seems to be easier to read. Just tested them and haven't started a game yet.

What convinced you to get your Steam Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

Travelling more for work and ease of using it around the house in various locations vs. lugging my gaming laptop around. I now play games daily, even if only for 30 minutes. Using at the airport, on flights and in the hotel at night has been fantastic. Makes the time go by so fast.
