PayPalValve has done their monthly thing, giving out a list of what was the most played games on Steam Deck through January 2023. Yes it's already February, no I can't believe it either.
Sorted by hours played from top to bottom the most popular games are:
- ELDEN RING
- Vampire Survivors
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Stardew Valley
- Hades
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Persona 5 Royale
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Cyberpunk 2077
- The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special Edition
- Fallout 4
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
- Valheim
- Brotato
- Slay the Spire
- God of War
- MONSTER HUNTER RISE
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- No Man's Sky
- Disney Dreamlight Valley
Does anything in that list really surprise you? Can't say I'm surprised by any of it, all pretty popular stuff as expected but interesting to see Vampire Survivors finally knocked down a position.
What have you been playing over the last month on either Steam Deck or your Linux desktop? Hi-Fi Rush was quite the highlight for me but Detroit: Become Human also really sucked me in too.

Quoting: Phlebiac(I think there was some console platform where there was a specific model of DVD drive that would be able to properly read them, but I don't remember details.)You remember correctly - that was the Sega Dreamcast's "GD-ROM" format.

Oddly, I have zero issue with that in flight games/sequences (something which I enjoy), as long as the view is third-person.

Quoting: PhlebiacQuoting: MohandevirI was able to rip my whole Wii library from my old scratched DVD's.
Got any tips on good tools for that? Does it require anything special hardware-wise? (I think there was some console platform where there was a specific model of DVD drive that would be able to properly read them, but I don't remember details.)

Personally, that's what I followed. I used my Wii and an SD card to setup the Homebrew channel. Once it's done, I copied the content of the USB Loader GX zip file to an external drive (Fat32 partition), launched it via the Homebrew channel entry and began to install my games on the external drive (inserting the DVD into to Wii will prompt an options menu, just choose install). After that, I added Priiloader to my Wii (same as USB Loader GX) and configured it to boot directly into USB Loader GX, so that I may start my games from the external drive... The DVD drive on my Wii is doing some really disturbing noises and it destroyed a couple of my DVDs already. From that point, I recuperated the .wfs files of each games, from that external drive and put them on my Steam Deck (Emudeck). Dolphin can read them as is, even if broken in multiple files (Fat32's 4gb max). The final touch is to configure the controller layouts per game (in Dolphin). There are good tutorials for that if you google it.
Edit: With a simple udev rule addition and a Dolphin USB passthrough for the Portal, I was able to play Skylanders: Spyro's adventures/Giants/Swap Force on my Steam Deck... I connected our Swap Force portal to my usb hub and it got recognized.

Seriously, for all games, the visual upgrade over standard Wii graphics completely justifies it (Gamescope FSR, I tested it on my Holiso install on the PC that's connected to my 1080p TV).
