we talkin' bout retro bullshit aren't we?

>most games the deck could potentially run well still aren't deck-verified
>community controls dont help
>community fixes dont help
works on my machine.
Huh?
>Deck verification means literally nothing just check Proton DB bro. You can even load the Proton DB rating into the game’s Steam page with a Decky plugin
>Every game has community control layouts, even if the stock controls are just fine
>I’ve yet to encounter a problem for an official release that there wasn’t a community solution for
Granted, I don’t play really play muh eSports-oriented GaaSlop. The only problem that I haven’t been able to solve is Xenia being pretty broken, but I think that’s as much a consequence of Xenia needing more development as it is the Deck just struggling to run it. Most of the time, when a game isn’t running right, switching to Proton GE is an instant fix.
Pretty much anything with mouse controls that lacks official gamepad support just doesnt work on the Deck despite community control schemes. E.g. Torchlight games.
And by "doesn't work" you mean they're not easy to play with touchpads? I mean, yeah, I don't know what you expect. Is there a handheld with a better mechanism for controlling a mouse cursor? Don't play point-and-click games on Steam Deck if you don't want to play them without an actual mouse. I played a mouse-oriented game on my Steam Deck and it was clunky, but it worked in the sense that I was able to play it. I didn't even use a "community" control scheme, by the way. I just set it up myself the way I liked it.
Right touchpad+L4 for left click is my go to for mouse controls
Xenia actually works better in Windows than Linux aka Deck's default OS
Deck verified means jack shit. Games that run flawlessly are regularly marked "unsupported". Games that also run flawlessly but merely have the wrong button prompts are marked as "playable".
I'm aware of this since I've had a Deck since April 2022 and some games that are "unsupported" I currently play on it like Bioshock 1/2. That being said, plenty of "playable" games in my library either run like dogshit despite being 15-20 years old or are essentially unplayable due to shitty controls that are not solved with community control layouts.
I agree performance can be hit or miss and doesn't seem to weigh in to verified status for some fricktarded reason, but I haven't found a single game that can't be made playable with steam input. Last year I was playing fricking AoE2:DE on this thing.
"Deck verified" is intentionally hyper-strict so that complete morons don't complain about "deck verified" games having even the slightest bit of a hitch. They want "deck verified" games to be the platinum standard of perfection so that if there's even the SLIGHTEST inconvenience it gets marked down to make the morons understand that they might have to think for half a second about some minor thing.
Well, that's how it's supposed to be. "Verified" would be the console experience for people — and supposedly they exist although I almost refuse to believe it — who would buy a Steam Deck as their very first PC, not even having a Steam account beforehand. "Playable" would cover the games that you can figure out how to run if you're actually a PC gamer.
But in practice, I've seen a lot of ratings that make no sense — "Verified" games that don't work unless I switch Proton versions, games explicitly listed as "Unsupported" which work perfectly anyway, etc. — and I assume that's just because the ratings are outdated and things changed, but also Valve seems to have made some mistakes in their approach to verification. Like verifying games for Proton versions that aren't actually stable, and leaving them with that configuration indefinitely, as if Proton Experimental today is the same as Proton Experimental of the Proton 7 era.
Last time I checked, games marked as Unsupported also get configured to run with the tested (i.e. verified not-working) Proton version by default, which is downright ludicrous. There have been games that work natively but not with Proton, rated "Unsupported" based on Proton testing and thus configured to run with Proton by default, so people have to manually switch back to native (which Valve probably didn't even test for some stupid reason like "hurr durr the system requirements say Ubuntu and this is Arch").
The literal only game I've tried on the deck so far that didn't work is Sonic R

I haven't bought fromsteam directly in years, it's usually Green Man Gaming for games I wanna play day one and third party sites linked by price trackers like GG.deals for everything else. After the first couple of days of a major steam sale I check games I want on GG.Deals and they're usually cheaper. The thing is you gotta wait for third parties to stock up on keys with their adjusted third world currency pricing so you can enjoy the savings they pass on to you.
My friends and I all have Decks and want to play some games together. What're some great LAN games for us to play that aren't first person shooters or require too much investment?
Terraria
Risk of Rain
Diablo ___
They should do a sale where all games are for free, but only for me.
