Some games are better than others for this equipment. Its not a hig end gaming PC so yeah, tone down the graphics, go 2D, and games that work well in short sessions, you will probably have a better time. Things to try on it:

Slay the spire 1 and 2

Into the Breach

Dead Cells

Hollow Knight 1 and 2

Blasphemous 1 and 2

Ball X Pit

Dome Keeper

Katamari (any)

30XX, 20XX

Tunic

Mewgenics

XCOM Enemy Unknown, Xcom 2

Deep Rock Survivor

Cult of the Lamb

Stardew Valley

Hades 1 and 2

Dave the Diver

Cuphead

The Outer Wilds

Some longer session or more demanding things that work:

The Alters - I felt like medium graphics was fine on this one.

The Witcher 3 - remaster has a steam deck preset.

Valheim - switch to classic controls, default is nonsense but otherwise runs fine.

HiFi Rush

A Plague Tale (1 and 2)

God of War ran surprisingly well

Clair Obscure, sort of. A little rough sometimes, but playable

Subnautica

Sekiro

Control, if you turn down the graphics

Elden Ring runs. I dont like multiplayer on wifi though

Monster Hunter Rise and World

Resident Evil 8 and earlier

Theres really no shortage of good choices for the deck. Like sure, most of that stuff didnt come out this year... But neither did the deck.

    Kind of but kind of not. I will look at them when I beat a game and it gives me a quick recap of what I might have missed. That usefulness varies wildly from game to game but sometimes I see an interesting challenge I want to try doing.

    I drink my coffee during my morning commute, usually 45-60 mins long. Nearly every travel mug I have is insulated so well that its still scalding hot an hour after I arrive, so I have been using a plastic travel mug instead. This work, it cools to a drinkable temperature after about 10 minutes, but I can taste the plastic. Something is leeching into my coffee and it gets astringent during the last half. Awful. I need something new. Most mugs advertise they keep it hot for 6 hours! I dont want to wait 6 hours to drink my damn coffee!! /rant

    Anyone else have this problem and good suggestions? I'm all ears. Thanks!
