Weird to discover I'm in the minority for trusting the verification check marks. Sure, I've played games without a check on Deck, but I usually use the check to determine how smooth and enjoyable the experience will be.
I've realized I just prefer mouse and keyboard so much that I don't find the deck as enjoyable as others. I still love it, but the number of games I'm interested in playing on it are very limited. So the check is helpful to know how comfy the game will be.
I don't want to waste any time setting a game up or fixing issues on Deck. It's just not what I bought the device for.
That being said, any recommendations for smooth, out-of-the-box games on the Deck that didn't appear in the top 10?
I usually will trust that a game will run if it says verified/playable, but when a game says unsupported I check ProtonDB. Far too many unsupported games run fine with minimal tweaks or proton-ge.
