I use my deck daily. Anything that is super intensive I actually just stream from my PC upstairs to my deck / or TV downstairs using the deck. For native games I am currently playing Diablo IV, Eastward, and about to start XCOM 2 after finishing the first game entirely on deck earlier this year.

As of last week I do, simply because SF6 has really captured my heart. The modern controls allow me to still pull off some cool moves, but give me a chance to focus on building fundamentals. I don't want to grind away in the lab mode for 1934589 hours. I want to learn by doing. I'll never be hyper competitive, but I have won a few matches online and now I have the bug.

This is really sad. I rarely posted on Reddit, and I mostly use it as an information source, but Apollo is how I mostly interacted with the platform, and when I did post, it was always through Apollo.

One silver lining is I found Beehaw as a result, and I like interacting and posting here, so I guess... thanks for being shit Reddit!

Yeah 100% no shade on what they are doing. I think it's great. But I do want to be able to access my accounts regularly without major problems. I'll stick it out a little longer, mainly because I already lost all my posts migrating from Masto, and I don't want to lose all my posts again migrating back haha.

Hmmmm. Now I am definitely starting to think it might be better to move back to standard Mastodon. A whole day gone with no ETA feels kinda bad. I know this kind of stuff can happen, but Calckey was already having some weird issues for me anyway, so I am a little scared away by it.

So far I am really enjoying it, mostly because whenever you post something you don't get 130493025084385 people telling you that your are a horrible person and completely wrong and offering you unsolicited advice and ignoring your question in the first place.

It is NICE here. For now at least.

This was me with VALORANT last year. I run an indie-focused games publication, but I lost myself completely to VALORANT to the point that I wasn't playing anything else, and the site suffered as a result. I wasn't even really having much fun, and then I realized how much I was investing into a live service, and games I was genuinely interested to play, talk about, write about, were just passing me by.

So this year I decided to give up live service games for a year, and that has seriously allowed me to get back into my groove, and to play a lot of backlog games. Steam Deck has also helped quite a lot in that regard.

My friend and I play Destiny 2 but we do not do any of the seasonal content. We are still making our way slowly through The Witch Queen and that is quite enjoyable for me. I refuse to devote my free time entirely to one game again.

Having said that... Diablo IV... ooof.

I finally got around to playing the XCOM reboot entirely on my Deck and it was a fantastic experience. Those missions are short enough that I could pick it up, play a mission, and then put it down and do something, and come back to it.
