I have this one, installed it on my Steam Deck – but I’ve yet to boot it up.

I get a lot of people who basically think any post with an em-dash is a sign of ChatGPT. I call ‘em hall monitors because they think em-dashes are a gotcha—but I’ve always used em-dashes, and I’m not stopping.

Why should I stop using perfectly good punctuation on account of LLMs?

Nope! And I can provide receipts—show you the original draft as well as revisions. I even made further edits to this post after submission.

But, to you, would receipts even matter?

Or is your purpose here simply to be a comment hall monitor?

(You’re probably going to tell me this comment is written by ChatGPT because it has em-dashes.)

I have a long posting history on the Fediverse. You are welcome to check out the rest of my posts.

Reflecting my own biases here, but I’d say it’s either Jill of the Jungle or Jazz Jackrabbit.

Both work on Steam Deck. 🙂

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is playable on Steam via GOG.

And while Blake Stone may be “unsupported”, I’ve been playing it for as long as I’ve had my Deck—and I’m happy to demonstrate.

As for where I got my information—it’s from me! I played both those games on my Steam Deck! And they work fabulously!

At first, I was skeptical about the mouse. But then I tried it while spending hours waiting around at a rec centre. It works really well for FPS games like Quake – quite comfortable too.

The reason it makes a big difference, though, is because of the size of the Legion Go’s 8.8-inch screen. That extra real estate makes a mouse more intuitive.

In practice, I think it largely depends on what you play.

If you play indie games, then that 1600p, 144hz screen will make a huge difference.

Also, the ability to set the power draw is a massive factor. I’ve played games with an 8W power draw on 1600p, and it was awesome.

Keep in mind that the OS makes a huge difference in performance. Changing from Windows 11 to Bazzite has resulted in big improvements to the battery life.

Finally, my point of comparison is the original LCD Steam Deck (the one I own), not the OLED edition which seems to be superior in terms of battery.

I’ve installed Bazzite on the Legion Go. Not only do the wireless joy-cons work flawlessly, they actually work better than on Windows 11. Bazzite is a huge upgrade.

I also own a Steam Deck. To me, the dual trackpads are essential, and I don’t want to live without them.

The Legion Go has a trackpad (not two), though it doesn’t feel nearly as good as the Steam Deck’s.

However, in the Legion Go’s defense, you convert the right joy-con into an optical mouse – and Lenovo includes a base for just this purpose. I’ve used it, and it’s pretty good.

Talking specifically about the Steam Deck’s grip, it’s pretty good. I like how it curves near my palm. Alas, my wife feels that the Steam Deck is too wide for her.

Okay, I laughed too hard at “Legion Go Get A Grip”.

Nope, the Legion Go is for my wife.

I’m personally holding out for the Steam Deck 2.

I’m not motivated by upvotes, so it’s fine.

And at least the Linux zealots aren’t as insufferable as elsewhere.

But you kind of did.

You arrived here five days ago and already have the cojones to claim that I, someone very active in this community, is an astroturfing bot.

Can it just be possible that I enjoy PC gaming and welcome competition in this space?

I already mentioned the Xbox Ally isn’t for me but if it brings console gamers to PC, that’s good.

It doesn’t need to, neither do I want it to.

Yeah, me – an astroturfing bot who gave away 50 games to members of this community just a few weeks ago. All part of my master plan. 🙄

Very different. Your controller turns into a literal mouse. Take a look at the pic.

Or you can get the Legion Go S, which comes pre-installed with SteamOS.
