Best dock for the Steam Deck? (And other accessories) (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey everyone! I just got a deck and am looking to get a bunch of accessories, the main one being a dock. The Deck really intrigued me as a all-in-one device for both gaming and software development on the go.

Looking at FlatHub, it looks like pretty much all of the software that I use in my workflow is available (Rider, Webstorm, Postman, GitKraken, etc), even some hobby software that I use like PrusaSlicer! Pretty much all of the other command-line tools I would need can be installed with Homebrew as well without worrying about the read-only partition being overwritten.

So the final frontier for me will be the hardware. First and foremost, I'm looking for a good docking station that can support two simultaneous external 1440P displays. I would prefer to be able to use dual DisplayPort connections, but if there's nothing of good quality on the market then I'm fine with using a DP + HDMI setup.

Additionally, I'm also looking to max out the capabilities of the deck with regards to battery life, performance, and storage. What would be really cool would be if there were some kind of Battery + SSD mount that would strap onto the back of the deck.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I usually watch a video after reading the rules and trying to play for a little bit. It usually helps cover the gaps in understanding or areas that I’ve misinterpreted the rules, while also allowing myself to become familiar enough with the game that I don’t get lost.

Weapons, armor, equipment, upgrades, etc. in single-player games that have effects that have tradeoffs or very niche use-cases are unfun. I can understand it in multiplayer competitive games where balance is important, but effects like “provides 20% more defense versus ” or “increases range, but decreases damage” just deflate me when I get them in games. If I’m spending time playing a game, I want to earn things that make me objectively better as I progress. Developers of modern games seem waaay to preoccupied with holding back and not allowing things to be “broken” in games where it just doesn’t matter.
