The best username I've ever seen was DaHeckIzDat on the videogamecritic.com forums. He also writes some awesome guest reviews for the critic sometimes.

I tried out Total War Warhammer 3 today, and YIKES! When they said this game wasn't optimized for Steam Deck, they weren't kidding! I was able to get it to run, but only with the settings so low that the graphics are sub-PS1 standard. And even then, the Deck chugged pretty hard to make it work...
