    Other games ive liked on the steam deck:

    I like pixel games and/or great flow state. The SD has some of the best speakers on handhelds ive ever owned plus audio jack (wooo!). For flow games, ill often put them on and have an audiobook or podcast going at the same time.

    1. Peglin, fun little peggle rouge-like. Its a good flow state game.
    2. Coromon - Pokemon like game with excellent GBA vibes. Awesome pixel art, the coromon themselves look fantastic. Great little RPG.
    3. Dave the Diver - I recently picket this up. Ive been enjoying the game, again pixel art is great. I love that all the side charaters have these huge cutscenes but Dave is just…Dave.
    4. Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - If you liked Mario RPG or the paper mario series, this is a game for you.
    5. Tetris® Effect: Connected - Tetris, but with trippy visuals/music. Great flow state game that you can play with your friends.
    6. Cobalt Core - rouge-like, FTL like, space game. Has a good story, fun gameplay loop. Another flow state game for me.











  • I have an old mac mini that was a server for a good 4-ish years.

    The good:

    1. They are pretty good at sticking in a closet and forgetting about them.
    2. Specs are always on the decent side and some of the older models are easy to upgrade.
    3. Power is ok. It sips power
    4. It can run for years without issues. I still have two mac minis I used for CI/CD jobs, thin clients, etc…
    5. Its a cheap mac. If you need mac for something, like building custom mac specific applications, then its a decent little machine.

    The bad:

    1. CPU is usually lacking compared to any computer of the same price range.
    2. MAC OS. Its good at desktop but as a server, it just doesn’t have the same options/ease of use as a good linux box. You can get around that by dual booting, but its just another headache. Docker/VMs are also an option, but the RAM/CPU usage would take a hit.
    3. The newer the model, the harder it is to upgrade.

    I would use it as a specialty server if you have something you do automatically only macs can do. Or as a thin client/vm box.

    I used to use it as a CI/CD box before github actions was a thing. If you happen to have one, sure set it up for fun. If you dont and are looking at buying one, I would suggest a cheap dell desktop or (depending on what you want to host) a pi 5 or thin client and throw linux on it.
