I thought I’d have enough of Baldur’s Gate 3 by now, but I think I’m about to start my third playthrough. Even though performance sucks ass in the third act.

Did the last update help much? It was largely performance focused but I haven’t heard much about how significant the improvements are.

No, not really. I think it’s all the NPCs running around in the city. I bet that’s CPU bound, which is not that great on the Deck.

I’m still having a blast with Baldur’s Gate but I’ve been hearing good things about Armored Core and want to try it

It sounds like it runs pretty well on the deck! I’m excited to try it too once I’m done with bg3

Factorio got me. It continues a pattern of games that can really take advantage of the deck’s controls.

Coming from the computer with near 2000 hours of gameplay in Factorio I just couldn’t make the jump to the deck. I miss the precision of a mouse and the keyboard shortcuts (the deck buttons weren’t enough and I didn’t want to memorize a ton of shift/modifier-* type shortcuts)

Yeah that makes sense, I started out on the deck so I’m used to the shortcuts. I also played a ton of elite dangerous which does something similar to fit 50 controls into 10 buttons.

Finally got over my laziness and set Retro Arch up so both my PC and SD can play and sync easily

So I’ve been playing a bunch of old PS1 and GBA games for the last few weeks, Pokemon Emerald most recently

Having achievements in old games is addicting

I started sprinkling some peglin in between BG3 sessions.
