Spider-Man:Miles Morales. Hopefully by the time I beat it Spider-Man 2 will be on Steam and Deck Verified

Spider-Man is good too if you haven’t played it yet. Runs well on the Steam Deck.

Spider-Man Remastered was indeed great! I beat it then went right to Miles Morales. It’s been a Spider-Man kick here haha!

It will likely be at least a year or two before Spider-Man 2 comes to Steam. It will be about 2 years for Horizon: Forbidden West, and I think that was the fastest one so far.

I’ve started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I’ve added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?

For a long time I went down crazy modding rabbit holes for the fallout games, spending more time modding than actually playing. I finally decided to just pick a setup and stick with it so I could actually enjoy the game. I ended up following this guy’s modlist which has a nice focus on the essentials.

A bit late, but this list has a number of issues, notably things like ENB. For anyone wanting a minimal mod list, is the gold standard.

I definitely won’t dispute that Viva New Vegas is a gold standard, but with the number of mods that even the base setup pulls in I wouldn’t really call it minimal. I think the person who was asking (and me, the last time I played NV) just wanted a simple set of mods that did the most to improve the experience, which I think that list accomplished better than the others I’d looked at.

Apart from ENB, do you know what the other problems are? I’d guess mostly the result of it being a few years out of date, but genuinely curious!

Some of those look nice! I notice that a lot have pre-requisite mods, and those require their own pre-requisites 😱 I’ll see if I can find some easy to install ones

I definitely recommend weapon inertia and the one that makes enemies react to getting shot (can’t remember the name, ragdoll maybe?). They’re subtle changes but make a huge difference in how the game feels!

My Steam Deck is a “Baba is me” machine right now, most of the time. It is a neat little puzzle game to play while sitting on the couch.

So frustrating at times! Some of the harder puzzles are ridiculously convoluted

Deck is currently being borrowed by my dad to play Zero Dawn, but last I had it, I was using it for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

This is so dumb, but:

The new Forza Motorsport has a system where you have to drive a car for like 3 hours before you’re able to upgrade all of the parts on it. Regardless of how many credits you have.

So I’ve been using xCloud to “play” Forza with all of the driving assists on—accelerating, braking, shifting, all of it—just to level up cars to the point I unlock all of the upgrades to that car. (Offline, of course. Not gonna mess up someone else’s game because of Microsoft’s weird ideas on progression.)

So “AFK racing” has been running on my Deck more than any other game this week.

Wow, that sounds awful. Reminds me of shitty mobile games.

Yeah, I guess they were going for “engagement” or whatever metrics look good to the C suite pinheads.

But the actual racing with a properly upgraded and tuned car feels really good! So I enjoy the actual racing, and let the computer do the grinding for me lol

How are you running Xcloud? Are you running Windows?

My daughter told me I could do this. I might actually get a series S if it’s good.

Problem is, I have toddlers. I have not been able to use my tv in awhile. The Steam Deck has been a lifesaver.

If I touch the tv, just baaaarely touch it, they swarm me. “I want JJ!” says one, “NO DADDY, PINKFONG! No, monkey, yeah monkey.” The other cries, “No daddy, JJ. Pleeeeeaaaase?”

So I just don’t touch it haha.
