Happy new year! I hope you had a great break too! Even though I played mostly board games this year, I managed to squeeze in some good video game sessions. Especially when a new present arrived early January, and I am now the proud owner of a Steam Deck!

I am still keeping my Win 3 for retro emulation, but with the Intel internal graphics, it couldn’t quite play everything I wanted on Windows. But now, with both, I can play almost all the games I want!
I am excited to finally play some games that have been sitting in my backlog for ages like Mansions of Madness: Mother’s Embrace and Evil Within. Being able to play them on Steam Deck will hopefully allow for more play sessions and make a dent in my backlog.
There were some more games not listed, like a couple of hours of Elden Ring on the Steam Deck (for testing purposes!). I needed to try out the Steam Deck – most of these games were games I enjoyed and wanted to test the feel on the console. A couple of games I may actually pick up again – playing handheld felt that good!
I might talk more about that a bit later. For now, lets talk about what I got my teeth into over the break!
