These don’t exactly “fit in” with the rest of the list, but on Deck I’ve personally had a blast with CarX Drift Racing Online and the Sonic &ASRT Collection



I don’t think it’s possible to filter the trending games that way, but you can filter the all-time highest rated games that way by using the “Platforms” filter in instant search: https://steamdb.info/instantsearch/?refinementList[oslist][0]=Steam Deck Verified&refinementList[oslist][1]=Steam Deck Playable

It also has an option to filter the search by year(s) and by number of ratings/followers, so you could select the current and/or previous year to see what has been trending well-received and popular in the (relatively) short-term.


Helldivers 2 will use a rootkit anti-cheat, nProtect GameGuard

Yes, a lot of games work fine without precompiled shaders. Others, like Apex Legends or Rocket League, are a complete mess (at least for the first few minutes of gameplay - it used to be much worse but DXVK 2.0 helped a lot with this). You’ve probably just only tried the games that work fine.


“Having to deal with pre-shader work” that you mentioned is a good thing. Without it, games will stutter more. And you always have the option to skip it or disable it entirely.

But otherwise, it’s a classic delimma:


Through proton, yes. The game has always worked with anti-cheat disabled (so no PvP multiplayer), but proton-compatible anti-cheat has been supported since early April, so all multiplayer functionality has worked since then.

This article is referring to a recent MCC patch that broke proton anti-cheat for about a week, thankfully it’s fixed now.


That’s nice, although somewhat different than what OP linked. I think the filter you linked will completely remove shorts, where the extension OP linked (Youtube Shorts Block) will instead convert shorts into a normal video, despite the misleading name. Although I think the extension has an option to completely block shorts too


YSK how to block entire instances from your “all communities” feed and/or the “list of communities” page
Disclaimer: I am just a random stranger on the internet who likes uBlock Origin, read a handy comment, and figured out how to press F12. I am by no means a webpage expert, and these changes may have unintended consequences I wanted to bring more attention to [@linuxFan@vlemmy.net's comment](https://vlemmy.net/comment/284044) on how to block entire instances (not just specific communities on those instances) from your "all communities" feed, as well as add my own method to block them from the "list of communities" page. This only works if you are using a web browser that supports uBlock Origin (so unfortunately, will not work on any of the mobile apps). Firstly, install [uBlock Origin](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock) if you haven't already. Then, click on the uBlock extension icon -> "Gears" (settings) icon -> My Filters. Per @linuxFan@vlemmy.net, add: `your.lemmy.instance.com##.post-listing:has-text(@theInstanceYouWantToBlock.com)` Then click "Apply Changes" So if I were not interested in any of `lemmynsfw.com`'s content, I would add: `lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@lemmynsfw.com)` [@linuxFan@vlemmy.net](https://vlemmy.net/u/linuxFan)'s ELI5 explanation: `lemmy.world##` - only use this filter on this site `.post-listing` - evaluate everything on the page with the class name `post-listing` `has-text(@lemmynsfw.com)` - the text we want to filter. CASE SENSITIVE! Similarly, if you want to filter entire instances out of the "list of communities" page, you would add: `your.lemmy.instance.com##tr:has-text(@theInstanceYouWantToBlock)` I believe the `tr` is `table-responsive`, which is the type of table displayed on the "list of communities" page. If there are other responsive tables on a different Lemmy page that I don't know about, it may affect those. Also, if Lemmy's website is updated, these filters may no longer work. If someone knows of a better method of doing this, please chime in. But otherwise, enjoy! Why YSK: some instances have *many* communities that are centered around topics people are not interested in, and instead of blocking all of those communities one by one, it is easier to just block the whole instance. Edit: Note that this will remove posts if a blocked instance is listed ANYWHERE in the post body. I accidentally blocked *my own post* when I tested the lemmynsfw filter just now lol Edit(s): Further clarification/typos
