Haven’t seen a post like this recently so I thought I’d start the conversation !
I’m close to finishing Wario Land 3 (emulated GBC), which was the game of my childhood, I’m surprised of how tricky some levels are.
I also started playing The Eternal Cylinder but it’s quite a demanding game so I’m thinking of playing it on PC instead

Tunic. Playing it filled me with a sense of wonder and discovery reminiscent of the first time I looked at the map of the original NES Legend of Zelda. Amazing experience. I’m in the final chapter of the game but not finished yet.
Tunic is great, I reached the end awhile back but have been slowly going back and chipping away at some of the final puzzles. It kinda feels like two separate games, there’s the initial Zelda-like with a moderate share of puzzles, but once you get to the end you can mostly drop the Zelda parts and it becomes a top down version of the Witness.
I just got ending A. I pretty much knew what “Take your rightful place” was going to mean, but seeing it happen was pretty bleak. Makes me want to do the other ending now.
That’s a great game with so much hidden shit and things to work out.
Tunic looks lowkey stunning visually, I need to try it.
Amazing game… I’m still trying to figure out that damn gold door thing lol
It’s a hell of a ride, and just the right length too IMO
Started Baldurs Gate 3 a few months ago and just recently started to get more play time.
I picked up Tunic on the summer sale and am finishing that up.
I’m playing two games at the moment:
Yet another run in Nier: Automata, second playthrough, first time on steam deck. It runs surprisingly well.
Stardew valley. For steam deck it’s a killer game - 8-9 hours on a battery, perfect for resting.
I also have Snowrunner and Vampire Survivors as my go to games.
Nier: Automata, first time in steam deck. It runs surprisingly well.
It’s a story that’s been told here before, but one of the major projects that makes the Steam Deck work (DXVK, which converts DirectX in Vulkan for Proton) was made because a guy really wanted to play Nier Automata on linux.
It’s one of the games I missed when it came out and it’s on my backlog for a while. Good to know it runs well on the deck!
A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…
I just modded my Switch, and tomorrow I’m gonna try to get Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom dumped and working on my Deck
A lot of Balatro, lol. I wish it was on mobile, though…
You’re in luck - it’s fully possible to get Balatro to run on mobile: https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker
It runs quite well and is a very good fit for playing on mobile. The only downside I know is that it drains your battery like mad.
I too am addicted to Balatro. I made progress though as I installed RDR2. But afterwards right back to Balatro.
Try the Steam Link app from your phone. I haven’t tried it with Balatro but I think it worked fine with Slay the Spire.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
How does it run ?
Some issues, with textures poping in, but that’s supposed to be normal. It sit’s at around 60fps.
Steam Deck related community reports how the game runs can be found here: https://www.protondb.com/app/379430?device=steamDeck (note you can change the displayed reports to being only Deck, PC or both).
Said it before and I’ll say it again - one of the most underrated games ever!
need to get to trying it pronto

We normally do a “what are you playing” discussion post at the start of each month, so the next one would have been posted in a couple days. This post is taking off though, so I’ll go ahead and feature it and we’ll use it instead for the month of August.
On a side note, we’re always looking for more routine discussion topics if anyone has any suggestions.
Ahhh that’s on me, sorry for being too impatient !
I’ll edit the title so it mentions the month
Thanks! I appreciate it
Lately I’ve been playing Pseudoregalia. It’s a really good game. It’s a 3D platformer in the style of N64, with super fluid movement.
Pseudoregalia was fantastic
Manor Lords.
Plays really well but as one reviewer put it, it gets old after 20 hours or so.
That said, the early access bit is done well in that the content that is there works pretty well, and you can see placeholder for the other features being worked on.
Like right now it’s maybe like 25% of the full game, but that 25% works well and you can clearly see what’s coming.
Mostly just working through my “I should get around to playing this” list. Hades, Dome Keeper, Loop Hero and Whisper Squadron: Survivor.
New Vegas. At some point I took my save from my PC and copied it over since zi didn’t feel like playing as my level 6 new character on hard difficulty survival mode. I’d rather play my melee build character who now has an insanely fast war club that can take out individual death claws without backup with only a 50% chance of death, assuming vats allows me to knock one down.
That, and games like GemCraft: Frostborn Wrath, Isles of Sea and Sky, and trying to get back into Brok the Investigator so I can try and get all endings completed before the eventual DLC release.
Mortuary Assistant and the Outer Wilds while I was on a trip without internet access last week. Both played great at heavily restricted TDP.
Tdp?
Just understand it to mean power the system is being allowed to draw, here. It actually means a lot more, but that’s all you need for this.
Ohh the gpu power, yeah
Pretty much just Zenless Zone Zero and Hades II for the past month or so.
And a bit of Terraria with the boys.
I have recently gone to replay Dishonored. It worked great, so now I’m continuing with Dishonored 2, which I had abandoned after like three missions the last time. It’s loads of fun although D2 crashes from time to time for me. No big problem with the frequent saving I do anyway.
Fury of the Furries
