Sure, here’s a rewrite with that specific tone and style:

—

Okay, so, the whole Steam Deck thing—whoosh, it was a big splash. I mean, everyone was losing their minds. Fast forward, now it’s like, “Oh, another handheld?” But hey, don’t write it off. This baby is still the MVP of handheld gaming. Oddly, I thought it ended at Steam games. Boy, was I wrong.

Totally not true!

Turns out, you’re not stuck with just Steam games. You can wander off into Epic, Amazon, GoG… you name it. There’s this thing called the Heroic Games Launcher. Yeah, I used it for some random Linux setup—long story. Anyway, who doesn’t love freebie games that just sit there, right? Guilty.

Here’s where it gets fun. Think about, like, playing games on a bus or lazing around in bed. A handheld dream come true!

Wait a sec, where was I… oh right! Desktop mode on your Steam Deck. You know, hit that Steam button and do the power shuffle to desktop mode. Desktop looks weird, right? Anyway, it’s the fourth icon over—Discover. Basically, Steam Deck’s app bazaar.

Okay, so I search for Heroic. Took a second to find it, but there it was, ready to hop onto my Deck. Took a mini-nap waiting for it to install. Whatever.

Then the pop-ups—because Heroic can’t resist the last word. Set yourself up with Epic or whatever (I’m all about those ninja turtles, cowabunga). Gotta navigate lots of setup clicks. Blah, blah, blah… show me the games!

Proton… Experimental? Sounds dodgy, but I’m in!

This takes AGES sometimes. Ok, Cyberpunk was a whole 40-minute wait. Yeah, that happened. Shredder’s Revenge, though? Boom. Installed.

Play the game! Just hit play. Oh, but wait—screen went all wonky on me once. Don’t let that spook you. Totally smooth sailing otherwise.

And get this! You can stuff Heroic right into your Steam library. Click around in Steam like a hacker—sorta magic! I won’t lie, I got fancy with custom artwork. Steamgriddb was my go-to… made it look legit. Heroic was all dressed up, and nowhere to go.

In the end, click-click back to gaming mode. Heroic is now cozy on your Steam Deck. It’s like, always waiting there, a click away. Ready to drown you in limitless games! How awesome is that?
