I took think circle pads would be an improvement, do you find the pads being raised uncomfortable as well?

The atomic purple is my absolute favorite. Do you have a link to the RGB mod? I'm curious to how much power the lights draw.

Question have you seen the 1200p screen upgrade. Do you think it would be worth it?

Keep us updated on the Ally. I'm curious about it. I think I've got more the. What I need on the deck. I tinker more then I play.

Recently got a TV put up and I tried playing escape simulator with an Xbox controller. It was the first time I really wished I owned a steam controller. The maps have a lot of different things and ways to interact with them. I find pads make it easier to rotate objects.

My condolences! Would you interested in upgrading your screen or replacing it to stock?

I'm big fan of punchy colors which is my biggest motivator to upgrade to a 1200p display and scale down for performance. Counter intuitive I know, but the 3rd party screen is supposed to have higher color accuracy, or so I've read.

The vibrant deck decky plugin has quelled the itch for me giving me punchy colors. However, if I have to tear my deck apart anyway to do a shell swap anyway... Idk.. I just might replace my screen in the process!

I did the 1tb upgrade about a week into owning my deck. One of the easiest things I've ever done. Have never tried the gulikit I've had my deck since September and the joysticks have been excellent can't say the same about my switch. got drift twice.

Mech warrior 4 vegenence was my first entry in series early 2000s. This post makes me want to try out Mech Warrior 2 on the deck. Another point for steam controller. Im currently working my way through some SNES titles I missed. Playing Fall Out 1 is on my list as well and I think the track pads would be plenty usefully in that game.

Better start going going over the ifix it shell swap page. 103 steps just to remove everything and im pretty it's 103 steps in reverse to put back together. I'll report back, cause I am crazy enough to try this.

How do you use it with your obsidian?

There's a preorder page?

Howdy, I got some input. My partner and both play on steamdecks.

Saw this in one of the comments below but:

Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time

• Is a blast and I e of the few games you need another person to play with. The more the merrier.

Heave Ho

• Solid party fun.

Laura Croft and The Guardian of Light

• It's a $1.49 during the summer sale. Played this a while back. Phenomenal time.

PS: It says unsupported but I just booted it up and it loaded just fine, just tap the screen or use the track pads to get past the setting screen that loads up. Local co-op works and you can invite a friend.

Pico Park -Simple game but get great for groups

Unrailed -Recently had an underwater update and it's been a jive to play. Vibrant colors. Voxel art style, everyone gets into a rhythm. Played with 4 people last week. Deck friendly fun.

Nidhogg / Spiderheck /stick fight / Starwhal /duck game

• Different flavors of the same kind of couch co-op mahem

Plate Up

• New spin on the restaurant, cooking genre

Shovel Knight

• GEM!

Splunky 1&2

• Just tried this game. So far so good.

Ultimate Chicken Fight

• If you like Battle Block Theatre

Wildermyth

• Procedurally generated RPG with paper cutout art style. Play this with a couple friends had a good time.

Shift Happens

• It's a partner platformer

! If you get into Emudeck, Netplay is a thing, so is Parsec, but local play for console games works so well on the Deck!

Trine 2

• Played it on my nividia shield. It should work on the deck.

Tetris

• The new versions is a strangely addicting party game.

Inscription? That's cool, I would have never thought to use them for a card game.

What games have you been playing on your deck? Recently got Grounded on the sale. Hoping to tweak the trackpad to pull up the radial menu faster. Games a lot of fun with friends, but combat it slower when pulling up the radial menu doesn't go away until you've select something.

You use gyro in Valheim? For bows? Gyro controls are my kryptonite, I can get them to work.
