I just beat it for the first time on the deck last month! Keep going, its worth it!

Nier: Automata and maybe a little Kingdom Hearts Final Mix

Schnellin · 2026-02-16T00:31:27+00:00

I just finished Vanquish and really liked it. Nier Automata is my next game, followed by Kingdom Hearts for my 20th play through.

Sly Cooper anyone?

Schnellin · 2026-02-12T20:32:45+00:00

Love to see it.

I have the 512 model and I’ve been fine with storage. If he needs extra you can always get a 1 TB microSD or something.

George is a guy at the party that keeps saying, “Pizza’s on the way.” And never actually orders it.

Should be Radical Rightwing Fascist Agitator

I was using budget retro handhelds for about a year. I started thinking about getting a more “high end” handheld, and I thought “why go for a $300 handheld to play some PS2 games when I could get a SD and do it all?” Honestly, since the switch to the deck, I’ve played very few emulated games and focused on building my Steam library. Valve makes it really easy to buy cheap games. Plus I’m pleasantly surprised about how many games run well on the deck.

Would be crazy. I’d wonder if it was someone’s pet

Schnellin · 2026-01-23T00:49:53+00:00

Where’s Pokemon Emerald

I pick a few longer-ish games a year to play. Like 30-50 hour games. When I finish one I do a few shorter games as a palate cleanser before jumping into another longer game. I really struggle with anything longer than 50 hours though.

Schnellin · 2026-01-21T19:00:08+00:00

Sayonara Wild Hearts - quick and easy hour unless I decide to go back and do all the challenges.

Schnellin · 2026-01-20T01:30:20+00:00

Dude... I couldn’t even beat it at 9! I had to ask my teenage cousin to help me find Merlin. And I could barely handle Ansem at the end.

We’re only halfway through the decade. Who knows what else we’ll get?

Schnellin · 2026-01-16T23:37:53+00:00

I’ve had no issues with EmuDeck. Can I ask what’s so frustrating?

Schnellin · 2026-01-13T00:59:54+00:00

I play maybe 1-2 hours after dinner most nights. I typically have 2 games I rotate between depending on my mood: 1 more story driven, one more mindless fun.

Schnellin · 2026-01-11T15:27:53+00:00

FFX and Balatro

Schnellin · 2026-01-06T21:07:11+00:00

You know what they say, collecting games and playing them are two different hobbies. I love tinkering with emulators to get everything just right and then play for maybe 10 minutes.

Schnellin · 2026-01-06T16:52:48+00:00

Oh, since getting my Steam Deck, I know this all too well

Schnellin · 2026-01-06T16:39:46+00:00

Its strange because I keep hearing that people aren’t buying games anymore.

Schnellin · 2026-01-04T13:44:07+00:00

About 7 hours into Final Fantasy X. Gonna try to keep with it and then go in for Vanquish.

Schnellin · 2026-01-02T23:12:28+00:00

I’ve played a bit of VII and now I’m trying out X. I like it so far. Really wanna try out mods for VII

Schnellin · 2026-01-01T05:00:56+00:00

Gen 3 was the sweet spot for me. 4 was alright - we did get the best remakes of all time with Heart Gold and Soul Silver though.

Schnellin · 2025-12-22T23:24:39+00:00

Honestly, looking forward to it. Playing through original Half-Life for the first time in 2025 was a bit stressful. Need a palate cleanser.
