I had the same issue, I used to try to play Switch games on the couch and the thinness of the device just made me hold it in a way that would cut off bloodflow, Steam Deck I can seemingly play for hours if I put a pillow in my lap.

I have the JSAUX modcase and I really like it’s grippy texture, not to mention built-in kickstand, and includes a travel cover also generally cheaper than the killswitch

This wasn’t a feature SteamOS had on release, but it’s something I’ve known how to do for years, something I learned from LAN parties in the mid 2000s, you can basically preseed the common directory with a games files and then copy over the appmanifest_######.acf for that game and restart Steam and Voila game is installed.

I originally wrote a script for doing this using WinFSP proxy that allowed me to map my Steam Deck as network drives on my PC, so I could run a script, it would scan my steam libraries show me what games are installed, then I could select the ones I wanted and it would copy them onto the Steam Deck.

Wasn’t even mad when they added this to SteamOS, much more elegant implementation than the clunky system I setup, even though I spent a fair amount of time figuring it out.

This youtube channel has some really good guides for setting up Emudeck and emulation in general, I personally have had really solid results with RPCS3 emulating PS3 games.

Uncharted 4, picked up the legacy of thieves collection during the sale.

Never played this series but I like it, kind of Assassin’s Creed meets tomb raider with great cinematic story

Plays well on deck

I got it on sale a while back, I played for like an hour and yeah it’s just too much non-native gamepad support, which is unfortunate because performance wise it seems to play fine on the Deck.

I decided not to refund because they’ve said they do plan to add it eventually and they want to get Steam Deck Verified.

they actually have some links that go back to their internal forum and welcome people to vote for them to prioritize this feature request in their development cycles.
