Doom: The Dark Ages will run on the Steam Deck after all, thanks to a timely SteamOS update. Here's how it runs on the Deck, and the best settings to use on it.
I have fond memories of Hexen. But most of those are overridden by it being the unfortunate game where I finally realized that first person games make me motion sick.
“Oof, I don’t feel so hot. Let me keep playing to keep my mind off of it. Maybe a bite to eat. Back to the game, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m…” running to the bathroom and honking up everything I just ate and then some until I’m dry-heaving. I didn’t eat hot dogs for a good five years after that.

Does this mean the game will be playable without (extra) issue on Linux at release date ? That would be kinda nice :)
Whew what a whirlwind I’ve had leading up to this while intending to play on deck
At least they’re being honest. See too many people saying stuff runs perfect, then get like 20 fps on min settings
Yeah, I completely agree. Doesn’t stop publicly celebrating something being “surprisingly okay-ish” from being hilarious to me as a concept, though 😁
put that on my tombstone
I fuckin lol’d
Back in my day, if we wanted medieval Doom, we had to play Heretic
Amid Evil is a good Heretic-like game. Also they’ve done Dusk which is also excellent
It’s a shame we don’t get updated sequels to Heretic/Hexen… or Quake, for that matter.

A buddy of mine wasn’t sure if it was FPS’s that made him motion sick.
I introduced him to Descent.
He had to go have a lie down.
All these Doom sequels… a proper Descent would kick ass
I’m getting a headache just thinking about it.
Or STRIFE
Or Blood.
in a small world, word travels fast…
