Yoku's Island Express was superb on the Steam Deck.
The pinball mechanics work really well on a handheld device.

I've noticed that lately, I've been primarily using my steam deck for watching movies via SMB shared folder. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to add the follder to the steam library for easier access in a couple of clicks.I still play games, but often find myself too tired on weekdays to actually play something. Vacation is coming

ps. It seems that I should buy a TV

I'm playing between lots of games at the moment :) Hogwarts Legacy, Minecraft, No Man's Sky, Temtem, Dinkum, and Life is Strange 2 have all ran beautifully on it, I'm really impressed and happy :D I actually haven't had a big problem with any games, there's usually always some easy way to get them to work, but most of them have started all great on their own!

I currently have the transparent limited edition version of the Steam Deck. I am a bit ashamed to admit, I also got the original release, but I'm a sucker for the see-through case. I don't know if I want to activate the second Deck's rewards on my account since I already have all the stuff from the original Steam Deck and it's not tradeable. I keep a second Steam account just for multiplayer games I may want to play with a friend, so I'm thinking of activating it there, but then I won't have the OLED keyboard.

Edit: OLED Startup Movie?! Are there any other differences between the original Steam Deck rewards and the OLED ones?

Welcome to the group! The only thing I'm certain about is the OLED model gets a red keyboard.

I have been gaming exclusively on it ever since I got it, Christmas 2022. Once I went bed, I could never go back to desk. Sometimes I run games natively, many times I use it and my desktop in tandem via streaming. Currently still playing Baldur's Gate 3. 269 hours in, second playthrough.

Hi! Just received my SD OLED. I have access to so many games (about 5000 with family share) that I don't know where to start lol.
Thanks for the group idea and for accepting me, it's fun!

Welcome to the group. The OLED is soooooo nice. I usually pick 2 games to be playing at a time. One that is simple gameplay or repetitive. The other one a longer/more complex story game.

Thank you!
I automatically installed a lot of games and now I'm sorting them out and testing them.
Indeed, I've also decided to play a fast and repetitive game (CUPHEAD / Binding of Isaac) alternating with other longer games. This machine is incredible!
See u

Iโ€™ve been enjoying being able to play monster hunter and halo on the go, but I love playing the emulators and reliving the old days! Currently playing Bomberman Hero and Dark Cloud 2!

I've been using my SD mainly for emulating, reliving some old memories. I recently tried re-playing Super Meat Boy on it after what must have been almost 15 years? The controls worked surprisingly well. I'm just a little Sadge that I didn't wait a little longer so I could've gotten the OLED version instead.

I'm looking to pick up playing Steam games again and have downloaded a selection that I think would work well on SD, mainly platformers and JRPGs. But I'm curious if you happen to have any favorites/suggestions on SD?

Are we allowed to create GA for this group and another one? Or do we have to ONLY allow this group to enter? I would like to have this group and my own small GA steam group be able to enter.

There are no rules about the giveaways (as long as it's not trashy games). It's open to anyone with the steam deck items so just make sure you follow the rules of any other groups that you are sharing with.

Request sent. Got my steam deck last month and enjoy it so far. I mostly play visual novel on the deck and stream AAA games like Forza 5, God of War from the PC

Welcome to the group! God of War worked pretty good without streaming... I think pretty standard 40fps on low/min settings

haha I know, GOW is the first game that I download on Steam deck, still cant believe that such tiny machine can do so much, but that will make my good old PC lonely so I make him stream the game so that I can play max setting on deck ๐Ÿ˜€

I only got my steam deck a few months ago, when the OLED released. So far i'm loving it. Best games so far i played on it is probably "Nordic Ashes" and "Tinykin". But I recently got Cozy Grove to play it purely on my SD. ๐Ÿงก
Would love to share SD games with you all!

Only if you can go into the settings in the Steam Deck and "claim" the rewards. It can only be done once per steam deck serial number.
