This could be nice for getting GOG Galaxy Overlay and tracking working. Heroic Launcher does provide access to GoG cloud saves and some provisional achievement tracking but Galaxy would be strictly better.

Stellar Blade has consumed a lot of time, I'm already at 40 hours played, it's been great and it performs quite well on Deck.

So WuWa might finally work? ProtonDB reports have been getting better but so far installing it directly via Steam only results in failed launch. I'll try this again.

I'm tempted to buy MiniHealer despite early access and dev abandonment for 2+ years now. I just want to relive MMO healer class gameplay. Or maybe Ex-Zodiac for $6 tho it's also still early access.
If I had oodles of time I'd buy Blue Prince, AC Shadows, or the latest Indiana game. Still Wakes The Deep sounds excellent too.

@doragasu
Agreed that the selection is fairly uniformly bad to my eyes. Each month has one recognizably good game, one or maybe two games which are known-quantities, and then the rest are to put it nicely, Indie-Me-Too games that are an alternative take on an existing game type.
I've never subscribed to this so I can't really complain, but my point is I've never seen the value in subscribing if I'm mostly getting chaff that I may leave in key-form, unclaimed.

I go to NexusMods almost daily. I love following along each day watching new mods come out, tracking ones I like, watching for updates. I've subscribed in the past and I should do again.
This is worrying though. Nobody wants to see a fan site sold, and there's other mod websites out there that are explicitly attempting to made our community a monetized one. To say nothing of Patreon modders, of course.

This game seems so good that I'm very tempted to break my Early Access embargo and pick it up early.

I hate to be a doomer but I'm worried too. All MS has to do is get big box stores to offer monthly payment plans, MS can fold in a year of free GamePass, and they'll lock in all the sales. MS could even do this themselves and ship directly from their MS Store, or offer a new $50/month GamePass sub which includes a leased handheld.
Why buy the Steam Deck when you need to pay attention to a compatibility metric, when the Xbox handheld will natively play everything including all anticheat games?
Modding is easier as they won't need to find Linux workarounds.
An awful lot of people don't seem to use the Steam Deck's trackpads, and many seem unaware of how to rebind basic key presses. They don't even learn steam shortcuts like steam+trackpad for the mouse cursor.
I'm eager to learn what Valve will do next. On the plus side Valve aren't publicly listed and don't have to answer to shareholders, so they can take a loss on steam decks where MS maybe can't subsidize these handheld costs.

I played the demo of this years ago and came away impressed and it has occupied #3 or so on my Steam wishlist for a while now. I'll be getting it early.
