I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn't hurt much.

Hmm I'm not sure I like the idea of tilting the device - with the steam deck you're tilting the screen too. Doesn't that impact your view of the screen?

But I'm definitely gonna try your trackpad suggestion. Thanks, I'll see how it goes. Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?

Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.

Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad but I'm more of a mouse or gyro control guy.

Trackpad rules in strategy games though.
