Fladder!

Basically I've been using Jellyfin for some years for streaming. Once I got the steam deck, I thought it'd be awesome to use it for offline viewing of Jellyfin content when I'm too tired to focus on a game, on long trakn rides!

So I looked for Jellyfin desktop clients, found one that I liked with offline downloads, namely Fladder. The install process for the Steam Deck wasn't straightforward, so I learnt Flatpak packaging and submitted a PR to the GitHub project, which was well received. I can now watch my TV shows on the train when I don't feel like playing!

For RTS (especially AoE II DE) I use them as:

- the SHIFT key(create 5 units instead of 1 when hold)

- activator for a different action group, where the joystick are mapped to a circular menu. E.g. one of these menu assigns units to one of the 6 quick groups in my circular menu, and I can then select these units with just the right joystick (no button pressed). Another one activates a right joystick circular menu to go to a building (and I did map nearly all building types..)

I can also combine these, to e.g. select all barracks

I'll have a look at decky dictation, sounds pretty handy. Thanks for sharing!

Solo:

- Break the loop - small indie roguelite with some fun mechanisms

- Cassette Beasts - never played Pokemon before so any comparison would be helpless here. But a nice deck game on the train for sure!

Coop:

- For the King II - loved the first one, they did good with the second one

- Wartales - with 2 other friends, it's our recurring Tuesday game night. Really fun gameplay!

It does look like a nice deck game. I only ever played World, but I eventually got tired by the endless grind. How is Rise in this regard?
