In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:

• Death Stranding
• Red Faction: Guerrilla
• GRID (2008)

And the hilarious tech demo of course!

I’m really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).

Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).

In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let’s see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:

• Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
• Gran Turismo 4

My condolences!

That’s awesome! Well you won’t need to expect WMR updates for Windows anymore, firmware or otherwise. I didn’t know WMR worked with Monado. Does it do 6 degrees of freedom tracking?

Same here, on a Reverb. The only “upgrade path” that could take me to Linux is the announced Bigscreen Beyond at about €2k for a set. Pure SteamVR means it works great on Linux. Every other headset is a sidegrade at best. Even the Valve Index doesn’t have the sheer pixels the Reverb G2 has. I neeed the pixels for flight sims
