First major game(s) completed on the Steam Deck are all 7 Commander Keen Episodes (minus the GBC Game, which I'll get to when I get my Analogue Pocket later this year). Not the greatest games unfortunately, but they had their charm. Duke 1 and 2 next?!
I just spent three hours figuring out how to launch a DOSBox game on the Steam Deck, and now that I've got it working just right... I have no desire to play it (right now anyway). This is the way.
It's Tuesday. Blasted this classic on the drive in to work this morning.
The Steam Deck remains an absolute joy. Playing some random stuff - Finished Ep.1 of Commander Keen for some reason. A bit of Dark Souls Remastered as well. Also addicted but hate-playing Gonner. Not really enjoying it but I have to "try" which is... fun?
Oh shit that Steam Deck order confirmation just hit. Here we go! I hope it gets to my current address because I won't live there in four weeks! GULP.
Fully completing Kirby had me remembering that I never one-hundo'd Yoshi's Crafted World. So I did that! And it was extremely tedious and the boss challenges are actually quite difficult but whatever, it's done! Did anyone else go this far with it?
30 hours later and I finally made it through the tutorial area in Elden Ring. Pheww!
Woke up this morning and chose chaos. Played Dark Souls Remastered for a bit (I've never played this version), but I forgot how mechanically simple this game is. Just backstabbing everything with a two-handed dagger. Like... everything.
Almost got Godrick on my first try... shit. Sorry to contribute to the Elden Ring qpost overload, but this is an Elden Dangus stream now.

For anyone interested in the output of the folks that made the Anodyne games, here's their next work, releasing in a couple weeks. Anodyne 2 is a recent favorite of mine.
Just finished EarthBound Beginnings! This means I can FINALLY play EarthBound and actually get more than 30 minutes into it for the first time in my life. Beginnings was definitely a grind, but it was still a really memorable, strange experience.
All done with NieR:Automata (yes, ending E). I think I came around to it by the end. I think it has a ton of issues, but I can't fault it for being an interesting, memorable game with a lot of personality and atmosphere. Good music too! BUT WHAT'S NEXT?!?
Alright Nier:Automata, you've got one more chance to wow me. Route B done. On to C. Also have 75% sidequests done but man are most of these pretty bland. I'm worried the remaining few are going to be a slog (battle arenas and weapon upgrade nonsense).
Sekiro "platinum" is close now! Just need to grind out about 20 skill points and then beat the last boss again, back up my save, and pick both remaining endings. This still might be my favorite of theirs at the moment, but definitely ready to move on.
NG+ (I'm on ++ right now) reveals the 3 hour long game that Sekiro actually is, it's crazy.
I picked a strange time to Steamroll (Platinum on PC) Sekiro with Elden Ring coming, but here we go. Got the Shura ending just now - you really can beat this game in like 4 hours if you know what you're doing, it's crazy. 5 more achievements left. Robert!
Baba is Dangus. Back on a Baba addiction. I've got complete flowers for the first 5 worlds and also did the last level and saw the credits. Still plenty to do. In the space world now. Using a minimal hint guide for some of the levels - no shame.
