- Need a game for a flight
Flying to Greece this weekend and it’s my first flight with my OG Steam Deck.
Got Balatro, Vampire Survivors and Chrono Trigger (first play through) loaded up, might also play some RimWorld if I can handle the controls.
I’m tempted by Hades while it’s on sale and I love Dunkey, so Animal Well is also tempting.
What suggestions can y’all make?
Edit: thank you everyone! Went for Hades due to the sale and I love a good rougelike game! Wishlisted a bunch of suggestions and keeping an eye out for a Midnight Suns sale.

- Portable monitor for steamdeck?
I am in need of some help. I'm trying to find a good portable monitor for my steamdeck. I don't need it to be huge, 12inches minimum, but I'm not having much luck with my own research.

I have the official dock, so it would need to be able to connect through that as well.
Thanks in advance for any help!

- is there anyway to tell if you have MEDA or MHDA joysticks for an already opened Steam Deck
I'm in the process of transferring my deck into a JSAUX transparent Purple shell, as well as switching the sticks for Hall Sensors and getting the DeckHD 1200p Display. Unfortunately, I didn't check whether my original Joy Sticks were MEDA or MHDA before opening it up. Now I'm not sure what to set the ElecGear sticks to. Is there any way you tell from the sticks themselves? Bought the 64GB LCD when the OLED was announced, as it had quite a nice discount (upgraded to 512GB immediately), in case that helps with which sticks are more likely. Thanks.
