Lazy day for me today. Although I actually got around to trying out the Steam Dock that I picked up this sale. Works great with my Steam Deck. Just played a session of LEGO The Incredibles on the big TV screen and a controller hooked up.

Also ordered me a Steam Deck Dock, forgot to mention that yesterday. Then I can use my Steam Deck as a full Linux system. Well that's my hope anyway, because I seriously don't use it as a gaming console much at the moment. My gaming laptop is more convenient. ;) I don't go out enough for a gaming handheld. :P
#SteamDeck

Wow, I've spent HOURS on trying to get a few mods matching up to what I want. In the meantime I've also managed to hard-crash the Steam Deck twice, I needed to press the power button for quite a while to get it working again.

At least the end result is that I can continue playing tomorrow with nicely colored floors and more floor designs. :P

Finally hooked the Deck to the dock from job, and gave it a cabled connection. Streaming from the Deck to my laptop is way more snappy now.

I'm having a little bit too much fun trying to see what games I can stream from Deck to laptop.

RimWorld works, with a lower resolution but still fullscreen. I'll have to connect the Deck to a cabled dock sometime then the slightly laggy feeling might even go away. Keyboard shortcuts are available, which is a huge plus with this game.

LEGO The Incredibles worked perfectly fine via streaming. I could even use my own game controller at the laptop. Played this game for a few hours, and the Deck got a bit warm. Not overheating or anything, just very warm.

Backgammon Blitz I had to resort to controller as the mouse clicks didn't get registered very well for some reason. And the controller directions to select the pieces made absolutely no sense, heh. I still won that session with a gammon though. :P

It makes far more sense to me to make the right trigger a right mouse click and the left trigger a left mouse click. Usually I'm also being precise with the right trackpad at that point, then my left hand is perfectly available to do a left mousetrigger click.

It'll also be less confusing when a game tells me to rightclick something. 😋

Looks like I managed to crash my Steam Deck. :P (It suddenly rebooted)

I was only trying to add gyro movement to RimWorld, so that I can move around the maps (not mouse movement). Haven't managed to achieve that goal, it just doesn't seem to work.
#SteamDeck #RimWorld #Gyro #Games

The game SUPERHOT definitely is made for the gyro. 😃

3D "shooter", no fast reflexes required, definitely need to be able to look all around you. This might be more fun than when I played it on the PC.
#SteamDeck #SUPERHOT #Games #Gyro

I like the gyro in 3D puzzle based games or 3D exploration games, I think. I still need to get used to the controls, and I wonder what the best action is to turn around if I don't want to do a 180 in my lazy chair. 😋

I've played a session of Portal 2 and a bit of Aer. Portal 2 was fun, looking absolutely everywhere with the gyro, though sometimes it's at awkward angles. Gotta figure out what the best strategy is to look around smoothly. I also think I have to rebind a few keys there as having to let go of the gyro to grab or push something is a bit annoying.

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

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. 😁

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

So, are people who have ordered a Steam Deck also going to order a Stream Deck? 😜
#SteamDeck #StreamDeck

Apparently it's a madhouse for people trying to buy the Steam Deck all at the same time, heh.
#Steam #SteamDeck

Huh, I just stumbled on this:
https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck

Didn't know Valve was working on a handheld console which can be docked. (maybe same idea as the Switch there?)

It does look fairly interesting, especially if you have a large Steam library and can use this as a console.
