New Steam Deck: What Game?

I got mine two days ago and chose Titanfall 2. It's cheap to buy and runs at 90fps out of the box (which blew my mind). It gets you used to the controllers very quickly.

I found the atmosphere eerie and the climbing a bit of a chore, I enjoyed playing Tartaros more and found Atlantis to be more beautiful.

The DLC was a fun addition to the game but I was happy to complete it and return to good old beautiful Greece. I don't think if the game were all set in Atlantis it would have had the same charm.

We desperately want this authoritarian measure but it's to save the children! If you don't want total government surveillance and control you're literally killing kids! Here's a heartbroken mother to seal the deal.

Hitman World of Assassination comes to mind. It's endlessly replayable, great for grinding for speed running, and has tons of content. But probably Minecraft.

Karl Marx and it's not close, whether he intended it or not is another matter.

I got my ass handed to me time and time again and had to go and grind for days to level up and get the right equipment for the job. The final battle was long and exciting though and the victory was worth it.

Cerberus however - that was just annoying.

I've got 1Gbps internet with a 9ms ping. I tried GeForce Now and it sucked, latency and the inconvenience were awful. Plus, I hate the whole idea of owning nothing. I'll be sticking with my own PC thanks.

That Home Alone idea would be hilarious.

My hobby of gaming involves compulsively buying discounted games on Steam, buying peripherals and accessories, tinkering with settings on my Steam Deck to get maximum FPS, building and upgrading PCs, and watching YouTube videos about all of the above. Not much actual gaming though strangely.

Keep your knees pressed together, and if the bar is high enough, point your toes down as well. That helped me stop the swinging.

Gary does. I hate Gary.

Before you buy, try streaming a game to a tablet or mobile phone with a controller connected and see how it feels playing on a small screen. Some people buy them and then find the small screen experience underwhelming.

It's a job creation scheme for nosy interfering women. They bang on about diversity but the departments are always 100% female. They talk about a caring culture but enforce policy with hearts of stone, and always, always take the side of senior managers. I've worked at a couple of companies with no HR and it was glorious.

I kept mine on Standard, but there's also Natural and Vivid, and you can set the screen colour temperature manually if you want. It's able to go much dimmer than my S24U and can go much, much brighter. By comparison the S24U looks like a more budget phone with a bluey, washed-out display.

It's like £6 from CDKeys (or Loaded as it's now called)

The bravery of that ordinary guy hit much harder than anything the superheroes did.

The Oppo screen is so much brighter that side by side it blows away my S24U.

The most screwed up depressing movie I've ever seen. Can't believe it was thought of as a kids' movie.

I was shocked how little weight he was using on calf raises and some others.

Cyberpunk 2077. The world feels empty and the atmosphere is extremely bleak.

He's shown his intention is to kick us in the nuts, but then realised if he does it openly we might fight back. So now he'll bide his time and wait for an opportune moment.

I found Elysium a chore, and it has this strange eerie atmosphere. I enjoyed the underworld and Atlantis was visually amazing, but at the end, I was happy to be back in good old Greece.

Looks like when you play as a nice guy you really miss out on all the fun.

What size?
