There are quite a few games which were developed primarily with kb+m in mind, but also have some controller support. So you might hit a menu or gameplay section that really requires typing or something.
On steam deck this works pretty well with the pop-up keyboard, but a physical keyboard is always a bit nicer
Yeah, I kind of intentionally avoided saying AFPS because unfortunately these days that tends to mean (like with diabotical) games which are desperate to be the most hypercompetitive aspects of quake. Duels or FFA aren’t really my thing, give me teams and objectives!
Perhaps unsurprisingly UT2k4 is one of my favorite of all time
Valorant I can’t speak to, since I can’t play it on Linux.
CS I’ve played a lot of and it’s fantastic just a bit too slow paced/tactical for me. Your right though that it’s a fantastically designed game and a really good shout.
Overwatch I strongly disagree with. The maps have clean lines, but with the character design, abilities, and UI they clearly prioritise being flashy over anything else. It’s really visually loud for the sake of it and too much for me.
I’d like multiplayer shooters that put emphasis on clean visuals designed to transmit information as well as more emphasis on movement.
Even with all the hats, visibility in TF2 is a masterpiece compared to 90% of games. One team always bright red, one team is always bright blue. The maps aren’t full of noisy scenery and still look great.
I’ve been enjoying it on the deck but I haven’t found any settings to make it run smooth as butter.
Especially in the last act where there is a lot going on I had to switch to my desktop.
That said, I actually prefer the interface on the deck to the desktop, despite being historically a pc guy
“It’s far more stable than steam btw.”
I’ll admit I’ve only used Linux for the past 5-6 years, but I think the last time steam crashed for me was almost a decade ago or something? Is it not stable on windows anymore?
When they say something like “60 days battery life” what they mean is using the device for half an hour everyday for 60 days.
OP is arguing that it would make more sense to just say the continuous use battery life, which in the above example would be 30 hours (60 × 0.5)
