That still seems like a wildly high buyout.

A lot of newer games have "story mode" or other accessibility options for an easy playthrough.

But yeah I really miss cheat codes, especially the wackier ones.

It may depend on the specific game, but I know people are specifically using the android version to run Roblox through a tool called sober.

Biggest reason may be bypassing anticheat. Some games (like roblox for example) have anticheat that doesn't work on linux, but you can run the android version. As long as the android version supports controllers it can be a decent enough deck experience.

SteamOS in game mode runs on wayland actually, because it's using gamescope which is a wayland compositor. My understanding is a lot of applications are still running as x11 and then using xwayland to run on gamescope though. I don't know if that can be manually bypassed to run directly on wayland or not.

Desktop mode is always using x11 though.

I've tried a bunch of apps, and Thunder is my favorite. I believe it's available for both iOS and Android.

I was a big fan of relay for Reddit, and thunder is the closest I've found.

Not a very convenient option, but you can try manually deleting the downloaded configs. According to this website, you can find your downloaded control configuration files at <steam folder>/userdata/<your user number>/241100/remote/controller_config. On steam deck, you can usually find your steam folder by showing hidden files in the file browser (click the 3 bar menu in the upper right for this option), then go to the hidden .steam folder in your home folder, and then follow the steam folder shortcut there.

To be fair, that's a 6 year old game. That's a pretty long time in terms of hardware progression, basically every home console generation (with the exception of the switch) has been 5-6 years long.

It's a UE5 game, as far as I know every UE5 game has rough performance, at least at launch. This one sounds better than most, but I'll probably wait a couple years until it's on sale and better optimized.

Lot of good games here, but I would like to personally recommend Full Metal Furies. It's by the devs behind rogue legacy, and is a great game. It also has some really cool puzzles later on, including some that are ARG-ish.

That's good to know, I've noticed reduced range with USB dongle devices, and that they don't work well unless I have direct line of sight to them (for example I have a wireless mouse that will work if my dock is turned backwards with the USB dongle facing me, but it has jerky cursor movement with the dock facing towards me.

I have a couple USB extenders around, I'll try this.

Can't have a UE5 game without spending a lot of time discussing performance.

My PC is pretty decent, but whenever I hear a game runs on UE5 I just figure I'll pick it up on sale in 5-10 years when I have newer hardware.
