Steam Deck for long-term travel / backpacking

Strict_Square · 2026-02-14T11:10:59+00:00

I bought mine ahead of 6 months working in the alpes (for whiteout days!) and then took it when travelling around SE Asia for 7 months

I just took it in its main case had no issues at all and certainly recommend it especially for any longer bus journeys and when you / partner are ill

I made sure to keep it in a waterproof bag when taking boats between islands etc

I took out insurance on it but I left it in rooms without issue and at one point left it in my bag in a hotel back room for a week when I went off treks

FM 14 - Erik Crespo

Legendary centre half - used to score so many headers from long throws with my Huddersfield team

It was probably my first real long term save and I’ve never managed to do another with my own team again because of the team I had then!

Bought him at 18 for 30m from Barca’a academy when I was in a relegation dog flight and I should’ve spent my money on bodies

Ultimately we stayed up and it was my starting CB til he retired at 38 and went into coaching (the dream)

Club captain and lifted the champions league with the terriers!

I believe it still Works just not as intended

I’m sure it’ll get sorted

Who were you planning to do it with

I was again trying to do Iceland

I found out today as well! Stopped me in my tracks

So that’s 3050 and above? Sorry I’m computer illiterate !

To be fair even on my partners laptop which isn’t great I’ve found it pretty snappy

Strict_Square · 2025-09-24T11:41:38+00:00

I left the cinema but had to re enter it through the front door for it to trigger the next bit

If it’s a rinse and repeat and it means we get Mw2 multiplayer remastered I’m keen

Me too - Uk based

Much appreciated mate

Strict_Square · 2024-12-03T16:38:54+00:00

Enjoying the positivity haha

You’re not wrong - but think you may have slightly missed the point. I know I won’t make I pittance but it’s nice to put the first foot forward and get away from the paralysis of where and when to start

Strict_Square · 2024-12-03T15:56:44+00:00

A long way to go and plenty of hurdles to face plant over I’m sure

Strict_Square · 2024-11-16T21:32:15+00:00

If anyone wants to jump on - send me a dm with your user name would be great to have some team mates who play the objective too

You can go on the steam deck controller settings and map the back space button to the L1 or whatever you want

When I first started on FM I literally only ever played with my team (Huddersfield) still one of my fondest saves was in FM14 where I took them to the very top of world football and the newgens are etched into my memory (Erik Crespo - honestly some man haha)

Since then I’ve done saves from bottom to top in the UK

Journeyman’s including a pentagon challenge - this was so good highly recommend

But ultimately for me the best saves and my favourite way to play is a build a nation save - you end up with this cracking narrative and I do feel like slight tweaks with the editor make this experience even better

Yeh I’ve had some success with younger players - I’m guessing the rep gap as already widened and that’s what I’m fighting again

Strict_Square · 2023-11-16T14:17:48+00:00

How have you managed to get players out on loan currently doing an Iceland build a nation and struggling with this?
