@drmikachu @LadyIrene Now I don't suffer from Arachnophobia, but I really like how #Webbed handled this by replacing its spider protagonist with a cute little fur ball. Also, in #Grounded there's a setting to gradually remove features from spider enemies, leaving only two floating blobs and a pair of red eyes at the highest level.

I'd say the House Rules in #RogueLegacy2 have brought me the most joy personally. Without the ability to half the enemies' HP, I'd probably have just stopped at NG+.

Gaming stuff to follow. Skip if you don't care.

#VampireSurvivors is a simple game. It's inexpensive. It looks cheap. You can easily play the entire game with a single finger.
I will be honest, the pixel graphics kept me from buying the game even though it's $5 at full price.
It wasn't until James Stephanie Sterling said that she wrote the bestiary that I gave it a second look.
I bought it during the 2022 Steam Winter sale so I could try it on my #SteamDeck.
I've played 49 hours of a game where you just move your sprite around and automatically attack.
I have 142/159 achievements in a game where you only ever have to push a single button.

Why?

The developers managed to cram more depth that I could have possibly imagined into the game.

• Unlockable weapon evolutions
• Unlockable player characters who, in turn, can unlock new weapons
• Secret unlockable player characters with bizarre or interesting traits that make the game play completely different (like a tree with -100% move speed but slowly earns one hell of an attack radius bonus)
• Unlockable powerups (they are permanent, but you can refund them at any time if they make the game too easy)
• Unlockable mutators in the form of selectable Aracana, Hurry, and Hyper modes (and more that I haven't unlocked yet, but have read about in the wiki)

I highly recommend the game. Every time I think I've mined all the fun out of it, I find something else.
Never forget:

• The first time you evolve a weapon.
• The first time you make it to 30 minutes.
• The first time you make it to 31 minutes.

I'd been playing #Hades, #RogueLegacy2, and #DeadCells on the #SteamDeck because I didn't think #VampireSurvivors could possibly be very engaging.

I was dead wrong.

Speaking of "dead", when do I get the fight the vampire?

I beat Rogue Legacy 2 for the first time tonight! I know it's only on normal difficulty, but I'm pretty proud of myself for doing it. I got stuck in Rogue Legacy 1, so I never completed it, it makes getting this far in the second even sweeter!

@corbden
I bought the $650 #SteamDeck in March of 2022 which means I got it in October. I worried the whole time I was waiting that I'd made a mistake. That I would hate it. That it would be uncomfortable or too heavy.
I wasn't sure I'd even go through with the purchase when I got the email that it was time.
But I did.

I love it. The biggest limitation is the battery life, but if you are playing in bed, you'd be able to have it plugged in.

It's bigger than you think if you haven't seen one in person. It looks too big, but once you wrap your hands around it, it feels perfectly designed.
I have no problems using both analog thumbstick, the XYAB buttons, both touchpads, the top buttons, or the triggers. The back paddles, back buttons are a little finicky, but you can sort of squeeze them by closing your fingers in and that works. It's easier than pushing the buttons, too. Also, the D-Pad is little awkward for me to use. Finally, the touchscreen itself is difficult to use because you really need both hands to hold the #SteamDeck
You can use the touchpads to access the on-screen keyboard, similar to how it worked with the old #SteamController. So you don't have to touch the screen to type, but it is faster if you do. Wiggling the pointer around to the letters you want and gently depressing the touchpad to type it is difficult to do quickly.

Game-wise, it's wonderful. I've put at least 150 hours of gaming into it, most from my recliner, since I got it.
I've done minimal fiddling with the settings. The only settings I changed permanently was limiting the FPS instead of 60. That saves some battery without making games look terrible.

I do not regret purchasing it. My thumbs regret it. I'm getting Nintendo thumb like I had as a kid, but it's worth it.
I'm not sure what kind of games you like, but I have played Roguelites, Medtroidvania, ARPGs, and RPGs without issue. It can run FPSes but I get motion sick.

In my experience, these are great on #SteamDeck which means no complications and controls are fully integrated:
#RogueLegacy2
#RogueLegacy
#Hades
#DivinityOriginalSinEnhancedEdition
#DivinityOriginalSin2
#VampireSurvivors
#DeadCells
#VictorVran

I want to talk about #VampireSurvivors for a second. I have that game on PC / #SteamDeck, but there is also a mobile version. I've tried playing the mobile version on my tablet and it was awful. It was unplayable for me because the touch controls were so soft. But on the #SteamDeck, it is fantastic. I am able to deftly weave around enemies in a way that was impossible on the tablet.

Here are games that worked fine for me but weren't fully integrated, so prompts for keyboard or having to rely on touchpad and triggers instead of keyboard and mouse:
#Tyranny
#GrimDawn
#FaerieSolitaire
#DiscoElysium
#ReturnOfTheObraDinn
#SlayTheSpire
#ShadowRun

#CryptOfTheNecrodancer is "meh" just because it's better with the D-pad and that is hard for me to comfortably use.

There are some other puzzle games and adventure games that were fine to play, but you are using the thumpad as a mouse and the triggers as mouse buttons. It takes a little bit of getting used to.

I have terrible nearsightedness. I hold the #SteamDeck about 4" from my face to play it, which has the side effect of making the screen seem to be absolutely gigantic.

@ShareYourGames
I got my #SteamDeck in October 2022 and I've played about 150 hours of games on it so far.
#RogueLagacy
#RogueLegacy2
#VampireSurvivors
#Tryanny
#DivinityOriginalSin
#DivinityOriginalSin2
#GrimDawn
#Shadowrun
#DeadCells
#Hades
And others.
