  Yep! I installed Spotify and Plexamp in desktop mode and added them as a Non-Steam apps. Then in gaming mode I just open the game and my audio player of choice simultaneously!

  Enjoying Powerwash Simulator on my SteamDeck this week, it’s the perfect game to chill and listen to podcasts as you play.

  Also been enjoying Skate 3 on the PS3, I’m pretty close to completing the game so have been working on the last few challenges.

  If franchises count then the Skate trilogy because I ended up hyperfixating on it. The controls are perfect and the vibes (especially in the first 2 games) are immaculate and really being me back to the early 2000s. They’re the main reason I have a PS3 that I use regularly tbh.

  If not then Minecraft Java Edition because it’s so easy to play with friends and there’s tons of mods and ways to play the game.

  Legacy Minecraft has such a charm to it that modern versions fail to capture imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Minecraft - Was my absolute childhood and I met so many good friends and learnt a lot throughout my time playing the game.

  2. Skate 2 - The controls are perfect, the vibe is amazing, it’s just one of my overall favourites.

  3. GTA V - The first R rated game I played. Both this game and Fallout 3 were massive inspirations for me focusing on 3D environments as a Game Dev student.

  Honourable mention to Little Big Planet which absolutely shaped my childhood
