Lol nah you weren’t the only one!

Great cheers I’ll check it out

Thanks mate, appreciated. Yeah I also seen a recurrent pattern in peoples’ suggestions, just what I was hoping for when I posted the question!

They have a fluttery feeling in their heart and pigeon shit leaking from their chest cavity.

I’ve just wishlisted it, so yeah I’ll keep an eye on it. Cheers mate, that looks like a good un

Great I’ll check em out, thanks mate. I’m going to send this comment to my brothers. Yeah I’m thinking we can do co-op gaming.i don’t think we really want to play against other people, we’re pretty much looking for a private playground until we get good enough to play with the clever kids!

Tbh not really. I’m the only one who’s at all flexible - I can do steam deck or old laptop (3050). But electricity is an issue for me, I’m not on mains electric just solar & batteries, and the steam deck is much less power hungry. Both my brothers have kids and homes to pay for. We’re not broke but can’t really upgrade tech without having to budget. We were hoping to find something that’ll work for us all.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

I’m forwarding this whole thread to my brothers, we’ll agree on something. I like the look of sniper elite 5, thanks!

Lol we actually played worms Armageddon against each other before. If it still has stuff like exploding sheep etc it be a good game to play with their kids

Hmm left for dead 2 seems possible for steam deck at least. I’ll check with the others. Yeah we could do co-op, but I don’t think we wanna play against other humans. Just something we can catch up an have fun for two or three hours each week

It doesn’t have to be against each other, but I think at least to start we wouldn’t want to play with other randoms cos we’re all pretty amateur level.

Yeah we’ve been trying to find something but like you say the platforms seem to be a problem for most things

Yeah same. I got a steam deck maybe six months ago, my backlog is so big I’ve only recently finished bioshock. Seems like a nifty little device and it seems to handle contemporary stuff okay too.

Tbh the physics makes crashes pretty fun. I do a lot of driving for my job and try to be a responsible, careful driver. So it’s nice to fire up the steam deck sometimes and drive like a complete wanker!

Tbh I don’t even know how to find out how many frames per second it gives me! It seems pretty sweet to me though. I don’t think it can manage much in the way of traffic, I’m told three other cars is about the limit. That’s not been a problem for me though, I’m mostly either playing rally car on a mountain or trying to climb rocks in a 4wd. There’s a lot to do that I’ve not experimented with yet.

I’ve been playing beam ng drive on my steam deck recently. Haven’t got any experience with other driving games but I’m having a lot of fun with it.

I’ve just started playing beam ng drive. Looks great so far, but I’m pretty shit at it.

I love RTS but I rarely play it these days because I don’t have a lot of screen time. When I have half an hour to pick up my device I’m probably going to play an FPS. I did start a play through of the original homeworld campaigns a while back but I’ve not had time to progress far.

Shame you’re getting so downvoted. People are so determined to believe in good philanthropic billionaires that they forget the system that allows the accumulation of such ridiculous wealth doesn’t work for nice philanthropic people. It was like this with Elon musk, before he sacked his publicists (my guess) before the cave diver thing. People were saying he was going so save humanity or some shit. All he’s done is fuck up twitter. Same with this guy. I use steam and I think my steam deck is a cool little machine but that doesn’t inspire me to tongue the sweaty arsehole of an obscenely rich guy.

I’ve been playing through the first two games again for the first time in many years to get set for this. They hold up pretty well. Haven’t tried Deserts of Kharak but might play that too. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed them.
