Gerard's Guitar

Been enjoying playing Vampire Survivors on my SteamDeck, it’s surprisingly fun for its simplicity and barely uses any battery.

Also just started Nova Lands because I heard it was a good gateway game to other automation games. It’s pretty chill. Unsure how fun mid to late game progression is but I’m enjoying it so far.

Yep! I installed Spotify and Plexamp in desktop mode and added them as a Non-Steam apps. Then in gaming mode I just open the game and my audio player of choice simultaneously!

Enjoying Powerwash Simulator on my SteamDeck this week, it’s the perfect game to chill and listen to podcasts as you play.

Also been enjoying Skate 3 on the PS3, I’m pretty close to completing the game so have been working on the last few challenges.
