At least I'm upgrading

If you have a micro SD in the slot, and then you take off the back case (which is what I assumed happened here because of the upgrading), it will snap the SD card in half. You just have to remember to remove your card before taking apart the deck

Suggestions for good ego-shooters on steamdeck?

Deep Rock Galactic runs great and is a lot of fun. It is a bit of a battery hog though, so best plugged in or in short bursts.

Boltgun runs fantastic and is a great boomer shooter. The cutscenes don't work without a workaround, but there's 4 total and none of them are important anyway.

Doom Eternal runs beautifully, and is super action-packed and fun. Surprisingly good on the battery too for such nice graphics.

So now we're making actual people into magic cards eh?

I know he was in the assassins creed games, but it's still funny to have an actual historical figure as a magic card. Can't wait for my Teddy Roosevelt mono-green commander!

Stranded on an Island, you can take two games, which ones do you choose? (you are not alone)

You are not alone

My my, how ominous 😶

Actual answer, first game would be Dominion (assuming I can bring my xpacs): tons of variety, is just fun, and in extremis it's a lot of kindling if it comes to it 🔥

For my second answer, I'm going to say Mage Knight. It's long and in-depth, has several game modes including both co-op and competitive, and if my islandmates are too concerned with stuff like "finding food" the solo is fantastic. This is a true island game, as I never play it usually, but with nothing to do and infinite time it seems perfect

Right?? I'm so mad the "trade row" style of Ascension is what took off instead of the "market" style of Dominion. It makes sense from a developer side as it's much easier to just make a stack of cards and let the variance balance the powerful stuff for you, but the ability and satisfaction to make long-term strategies makes market superior to me IMO.

If you haven't heard of it Aeons End is another fun deckbuilder that uses market-type randomization. It's cooperative and features enemies so it's not too similar to Dominion, but it's a fun time!

2p kitchen table formats?

Cube is lots of fun! A tailored 2-person cube is customizable and you can play over and over and have new experiences.

I used to have a "Sudden Death" cube where you start at 1 life that was a lot of fun

Recap Monday - Week 23

Knocked out some Dominion! I have all the original cycle expansion, plus the 2nd edition updates. First game was crazy, Platinums/Colonies, Tiara, Pirate, Tide Pools, all lead to crazy and big plays. Second game was grindy as hell, only trashing was Lookout and Jack of All Trades, and only draw or action engine was doing nonsense with Trail. First game I got to try Tournament though, which is a really interesting power-curve throughout a game.
