Woo, I got my Steam Deck in! I've been trying out a few games and also tested out the gyro. Not sure I'll be using the gyro that much, but LEGO games and such work perfectly fine on that thing. ๐Ÿ˜

Went to play a good session of FAR: Lone Sails, it's kinda getting used to a smaller screen. I mean, I usually game on a 24" monitor. :P

I also managed to mooch a dock from job, still gotta test that out with the deck but it'll be a nice loaner until I get a nice dock that's more suited for holding the Deck. A Deck dock. :P

Wow, the Steam Deck, in its Linux desktop environment (KDE in this case), certainly has a shitton of emulators ready to install. ๐Ÿ‘€
There's even a few Switch emulators in the list, lol.

@trinsec You can use Emudeck to set it all up for you.

@jay I'll check it out another day, when I actually have a bluetooth keyboard+trackball. It's a bit too fiddly for me right now. ๐Ÿ˜

@trinsec Iโ€™m a HUGE gyro fan! I toot about it too much probably.

@gpowerf I've tried it a bit with Toy Box Turbo since I had that installed and it was with little racing cars.

Well, I was already bad at it before with the joypad. I am absolutely a terrible driver with the gyro. ๐Ÿ˜…

I probably should search for some 3D game for it sometime, but I really dislike playing those games with joypads/trackpads.

@trinsec oh yeah! Not driving, it is best as a replacement for the mouse in first person shooters.

@gpowerf I've finally played the Aperture Desk Job. That gave me a much better insight in what the gyro can do. Not bad. Though I likely won't play shooters because I just don't like shooters. :D

The coming days I'll have a few 512GB microSDXC cards in, then I can install the bigger games. The internal storage is almost full. :P
