Bolle

on my fedora pc i actually Had to use xpadneo to get my xbox (Elite 2) controller working via bluetooth. before i did that, it would connect and show up in buetooth but wouldnt work and not be recognized by steam. but keep in mind i did this on a pc with fedora and not a deck so it might not work

if you are using docker/podman you can use e.g traefik reverse proxy.

if you don’t use docker you Have to move those Services behind an apache/nginx/haproxy reverse proxy.

with the latest updates and after an initial shader caching the game runs smooth as butter(capped it to 40fps for battery reasons)

Dark souls saves very often. you can’t really save scum. if you die, you die. if you fall from a cliff and you quit out before the “you died” shows, you are on the last stable ground and alive. if you quit out during a boss battle you will load in before the boss fog but if you used estus or items they will not be restored. enemies will reset their position if you load in but stay dead if you already killed them. this is true for every platform and every soulslike game made by from soft . if your game crashes you will load in a few seconds before the crash.

but you also cannot really pause the game. your only reliable glitchless way of “pausing” is quitting out

i thought about adding hades to my personal list in this thread but the story is so good, that I cannot play it and let my mind wander at the same time

Here are my go tos if I want to just let my mind wander and not think about what i do:

bullet hells

• vampire survivors
• brotato
• soulstone survivors
• 20 minutes till dawn
• bounty of one

emulated:

• pokemon leaf green/fire red
• zelda BOTW (small chunks possible. Do one shrine, explore a bit. Search for some koroks.) runs beautifully on yuzu

RPG:

• Dark souls 1 Remastered(Because the game practically saves every second or two you are not in any way committed to play a long time)

For PS5 streaming to steam deck I am using chiaki4deck. Works great and is easy to setup
