Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

I used to, does that count? I'm still an avid linux gamer, but mine was just sitting unused compared to my desktop before I decided to sell. Either way, currently playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu. Hasn't been exactly smooth sailing but overall it's been pretty good. The main issues are the emu being so new (bugs) and not having an idea what mods and settings are best for my particular hardware, and TBH steamdeck is great in this area since they're all the same platform aside the storage.

My joycons are breaking and they are so expensive to replace that I am considering getting a steamdeck instead. How well does switch emulation work in general on the steamdeck?

I have a modded switch and I am happy to dump my game carts and emulate them, if they work somewhat well enough.

Depends on the game but some work without many issues

Thanks for the heads up. I just looked through my games and almost of the the "switch" games are on PC as well. In fact the only switch exclusive games are metroid dread, prime, and tears of the kingdom. I do not really care about any other nintendo games. I know that prime and dread work well on the PC. I am not sure about tears of the kingdom, but I expect compatibility with that game will be part of their focus.
