Are there any good post/recs/whatever on here on what to do with a Steam Deck? Got as an early birthday present and want to emulate shit but is there like a recommended Master Guide for that? (PS2&3 especially along with whatever Xbox stuff can be done)

I donât know a vid for stuff like that, but this is like an all-in-one package that loads you up with emulators and automates importing ROMs into your steam library. Itâs real nice and tidy.
The only other super handy thing I could recommend is installing ProtonUp-qt through the Discovery app in desktop mode. This letâs you add more up to date layers of proton compatibility than Steam automatically dishes out, in case a game doesnât work right out the gate. You can just go to properties of any game, check the compatibility checkbox and select Proton GE 7 or w/e itâs called and I bet that will do the trick if a game wasnât running right.
And for a LAN file sharing thing across your windows PC and your deck, one method I use is a Linux app (available through Discover) called Warpinator and a windows version called Winpinator.

The Club is an all timer! I put that in my top ten when we did that list project and generally I donât even like games with guns that donât shoot nails!

are there any significant technical differences between The Club 360 and PS3?
I doubt thereâs anything major. 360 might have the slight edge in performance as it tends to at this point in the console cycle.
how much am i missing out on if we (me and gf) watch a playthrough of earthbound instead of playing it myself? asking for adhd and loved-one-patience reasons
I would sooner do cheats and/or emulator fast-forward to smooth over any gameplay hurdles. Thereâs a lot of charm in walking around and talking to NPCs at your own pace (even if that pace is faster than most). Thereâs not a lot of intended grinding and no overworld empty zone.
(That said, I expect you might find some of Earthboundâs schtick annoying-to-offensive so heads up itâs going to be cartoon racist and heteronormative. Itâs better in some ways in Mother 3 and way worse in others.)

Itâs very much a your own pace and such game. It is Dragon Quest with a different coat. Without you yourself fighting the random battles, talking to the NPCs whatâs the point?
Itâs also a 30 hour experience either way so fully possible on a playthrough or videos youâd get bored 2 hours in and never go back causing Earthbound to haunt you to your grave. In the corners of your room as you fall asleep âYou Never Finished Me. Booooohhhhhhâ
