Gaming

kinda wish i used my steam deck more — but it seems like i enjoy customizing, modding, and installing stuff on it more than actually playing any games, lol.

Haha yeah I don’t game as much as I’d like but I love the device and whenever I pick it up I have a lot of fun. 

What do you like to play mostly?

Yeah! I have the OLED model. A few years ago I sold my desktop gaming pc and I had been eying a steam deck forever then I got a lil windfall airdrop and bought the OLED on presale. 

It’s a beast for emulation, though I also have an Analog Pocket and a cheap little ambernic so I kind of split my emulation between Gameboy on the Pocket, NES → PS1 on the Ambernic, and PS2/Gamecube and beyond on the Steamdeck. Actually beat Windwaker HD for WiiU recently on my deck. 

Tony Hawk is awesome. I got Steep on a massive sale a while back. It’s like 1080 Snowboarding and Jet Set Radio Future had a baby. Super fun. And speaking of Jet Set, have you played Bomb Rush  CyberFunk? Such a great homage to JSRF. 

My other go to is Stardew Valley. If you just want to decompress, that’s a gem. There’s a similar game that came out recently called Luma Island that looks fun.

And if you like RPGs, check out Sea of Stars. Basically a love letter to Chrono Trigger.

you also have a steam deck?
last time i emulated a few playstation classics — jackie chan for ps1 and tony hawk downhill jam for ps2.
