This may overlap a lot with the discussion on what people are buying during the Steam sale discussion, but here it is anyways.

Still playing Helldivers 2 since I got it. Fun game that
- Thanks for the suggestion of helldivers, I got in enough training on bots and droids just before the illuminate showed up. Had a blast mowing them down with my machine gun and orbital laser!
  
  Super Earth thanks you for your service, Helldiver!
  
  Hopefully, they are back soon. Had a blast getting mowed down by the harvester lasers from outta nowhere and learning how to fight something completely foreign
- I'm tempted, how is it in the deck, fps seems hard to do with it mouse and keyboard
  
  I play level 8 without any real issues. It has a deck preset for graphics now. It definitely isn't a stable 30 but it is in now way unplayable. I routinely walk away with a death or two plus about 550 kills vs both bots and bugs.
  
  It ain't the prettiest game especially when played on a TV but I've been gaming for 30 years and it doesn't bother me anymore if a game isn't the sleekest looking. That said, if you only play handheld, it still looks pretty remarkable. And I have no issue using a controller since it was built for PS5
  
  Alright, I caved... I'm a level 11 cadet now, or works on the deck, and I'm having fun. I'm ready to move out of medium difficulty, I just need to squad up with good players, which had been hit or miss so far with the low level players.
  
  So you know how to push to talk on the deck?
  
  I don't. But you can assign a key (paddle?) to it.
  
  Edit: just checked - go to options -> controller -> change bindings -> then it's in the communication tab (third one).
  
  I'd recommend binding your l4 to the select button, r4 to start, and r5 to left bumper. Makes it much easier to call in strategems and use the map during play. Use l5 to open comms then
  
  Also change the grenade key to tap right bumper and unmap it from the right arrow d-pad button then change the right d-pad button to mark. If you don't unbind it, you'll mark and throw a grenade at the same time
  
  Thanks! I figured out how to do PTT, and m definitely going to remap what you said because I was finding the disconnect between using those defaults to be problematic. I kept grenading big holes but finding it awkward to switch back to a weapon before I got swarmed, or calling in strategems means I stand there like a doofus starting at my wrist while I up down left right, etc. Meanwhile, hoards are swarming me
  
  I also hate how the default was push to pull out grenades. Before I made it tap to throw and then the gun comes back out, I'd blow myself up way more than I care to admit lol
  
  I actually didn't understand this part of your config... I tried to do it but my left dpad is needed for strategems... And I ended up in game without being able to use any that required left to call lol
  
  Just saw this, if you remap in game and not through the deck interface for all but the r4/5 and l4/5 keys it works well
  
  Thanks for the response, I've never really played fps on a controller so I'm dubious, but I'm tempted because it's the one thing I miss playing only on stream deck...i loved me a good battlefield coop, and this seems like it's one of those,when battlefield was good
  
  You could still use the mouse & keyboard combo on Deck if you prefer that. Just plug it into a monitor or tv and you're good to go. I'm just controller gamer primarily lol
  
  I'm very tempted as I need something more fast paced than bg3
