    i want to make it very clear that this isn't a scientific or an official business like way to actually test games or hardware or anything, but that it's just me, a girl, literally just seeing which paradox games work and which ones don't. and a lot of it could be my fault, or just that there didn't happen to be great controller layouts, or not a lot of community interest in making the proton layer work for those games, or just me having mods on that messed things up? but either way.. i did my best 😭

    Honestly, this is the one thing I wanted to do with the Steam Deck--playing stupidly overcomplicated strategy games in public. I think that it would be funny.

    The trade screen in Stellaris doesn't work on the Steam Deck. The right side of the trade screen can't fit and doesn't load, meaning you can give others stuff, but you can't ask for anything in return.

  • @TheAgamidaex

    ha, I snuck into the video :)
    so you can install mods for the games, right? I'd try CK3 with Bigger Font and Better UI scaling, would probably help.
    I feel like older games, like EU4/CK2 are better for it, because they were designed with smaller screens in mind, so everything fits well already.

    it is good to have a device that you can carry with you to play your favorite games specially when travelling, but the problem with reading the events and paradox's games well known of its small fonts, even on pc it is hard to read.

  • @calamity916

      Only complaints about Stellaris, I think the trade screen is cut off so you don't have access to requests, and clicking on stars is a bit fiddly with the trackpad. Otherwise, perfectly playable with a good controller layout.

    So that's what the noise in my walls is. Cool. I love the idea of the Steamdeck, just not the price, or the resolution, or the fact I don't game in bed or, and this is probably the biggest downer, when I look at it I get a reflection of a sad old man and not a woman with fierce eyeliner. But yeah I've never undocked my Switch so this might not be for me. Great that you're enjoying it so much.
    At least this video didn't end up on those sites that collate people, ahem, unaware of their reflection. So that's a bonus :D

    The Steam Deck handles heavily modded CK3 like with The Fallen Eagle installed abysmally though. Like to the point the whole thing freezes up and the only way to get it to do anything is to forcibly reboot it.
