Our #SteamDeck Performance Review of Baldur's Gate 3 has finally arrived! We played through the entire game, which did take awhile, but we wanted to be thorough!
I played one of this game’s endless march of pre-release versions last year on #SteamDeck. It provided some of the finest hours of gaming I’ve ever experienced, stopped dead by one of the absolute worst single moments.
I hope they’ve tuned that balance a little better! (Though honestly that mostly means “make non-permadeath the first option on the new-game screen, and rename the options to suggest it’s the best starting place”) #CavesOfQud https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/112280874814360993
@akahn@jmac it’s been a while since I’ve played it, but always starting in the same town and going through the same motions after dying was tedious, so I didn’t make very many attempts. But I read there’s an “rpg mode“ now without permadeath?
@spinning_bird I played it early last year, and it did indeed have a "role-playing mode" that is identical to "classic mode" except that you get a restorable checkpoint every time you visit a settlement.
A new upcoming plugin for the #SteamDeck will tell you if an official third-party store has a lower price, and it looks like it will save us tons of money!
When playing a shooter on #SteamDeck with trackpad, I saw a suggestion to use the left trigger for firing.
It makes a lot of sense, not only considering the SDs size and the strain it puts on thumb + index finger to have to stretch so far, but also in regards to precise movement of the thumb.
It makes me wonder why not all games have the trigger on the left. Seems like there could be merit even when aiming with the stick. (At which I'm awful anyhow.)

Je viens de terminer Citizen Sleeper qui n'avait ps du tout le gameplay auquel je pensais mais c'est une vraie réussite. Le nombre limité de dés par jour et de jours pour effectuer certaines actions, l'attente parfois qui permet de souffler et de reconstituer ses ressources, tout est vraiment très bien dosé. (Sauf p-ê en tte fin de jeu quand le nombre de quêtes s'amenuise, ms à ce moment on est assez attaché aux événements pour ne pas lâcher l'affaire)
Il y a quelques choix cornéliens, les échecs ne laissent pas dans l'insatisfaction (ils sont très naturels, parfois la vie ça marche pas comme on veut)
@Octavia ouiii c'est vraiment une pépite ce jeu
pareil que toi, je ne m'attendait pas du tout au gameplay et les personnages sont tellement bien écris que chaque choix était difficile à prendre :neocat_heart:
je plussoie cette recommandation :cat_thumbs_up::bugcat_thumbsup:
@tournesol Je te laisse imaginer ma tête quand je me suis rendue compte que peut-être j'allais débloquer une fin alors que j'avais encore d'autres quêtes en cours 😂😂😂 (au final j'ai réussi à faire tout ce que je voulais faire avant de terminer)
I love this feature on #SteamDeck. Not that other platforms don’t have it too. It’s just that I love this social aspect of #gaming where I can see what my friends are playing.
I bought a Steam Deck! I would've got one much sooner, but they still aren't officially available in Australia. I finally found a good importer and picked up the OLED 512 GB model.
I'm extremely happy with it. Right off the bat, I was struck by how great the ergonomics felt. It fits my hands near-perfectly. Heavier than the Nintendo Switch, but not too heavy.
Performance is good - comparable to my aging GTX 970. Having that in such a small form factor seems amazing.
Unfortunately, it's a bit fiddly to manually plug in the USB C cable - nowhere near as easy to use as the Nintendo Switch in that respect.
It also doesn't seem to handle being unplugged or plugged in mid-game. In my experience, this causes the game's audio to stop working until it's exited and opened again.
Other than that, it works great with the TV, including with my 8bitdo Bluetooth controller. I'm really enjoying it!
@dHeinemann Yeah, the port location is a shame. Especially when it's in a gap under the TV, designed for a set-top box. Juist about fits!
I have the 8bitdo ultimate controller which has a wireless dongle. Very nice !
I'm wondering if you are also a game developer and you have a Steam Deck how often do you play with it?
A year ago I really wanted a Steam Deck, firstly to make the Erra: Exordium game compatible, before the release I got a Deck and I used it as a developer. 4 months have passed since the release and I haven't used it all this time
Currently at Level 12 with my characters on Sea Of Stars, I feel like I’m inching ever so closely to the end here. Been doing as much as the game has to offer, and this far, it has delivered! From the art design, to the music, and natural how it feels like Chrono Trigger! Absolutely love this gem of a game!
Narf, my #SteamDeck is broken again (first time I RMA'd).
It just won't turn on the internal signal at all (touch works though). In fact, it doesn't even boot (or POST) if no external monitor is connected. While it at least fully boots with the external monitor, it doesn't detect the internal one.
I still hope to be able to debug it, since at least being able to boot it with the external monitor + in theory being able to reset the DC should at some point solve it.
@dubstar_04 Not first hand, sadly, no (and I likely won't ever unless my Lap Dock breaks). I know there are some people who have used NexDock devices with Linux Phones (e.g., Librem 5) - @kyle for example. @PINE64@frameworkcomputer
Stück für Stück die Kiste mit den fragwürdigen Röhren abarbeiten. Von 3 Stück EM11 Magischen Auge funktioniert noch eine. Die fette EL519 ist ebenfalls mausetot. Ihr sieht man es aber auch an. Warum bewahrt man kaputte Röhren auf?! #basteln#röhren#tube#valve
