It's not the same as Balatro but if you like Balatro you'll probably like D&DG

It's pretty good even though I've only won once. It has lots of replayability.

This is fine but I had a lot of performance issues and radarr's sqlite database corrupted on me meaning it broke. The developers of these projects semi-recently added support for PostgreSQL which runs independently and is much faster and reliable.

Comment on Bought my first Steam Deck after seeing the deep discounts on refurbs...what should i know as a first time Steam Deck/PC gamer? in ~games
UntouchedWagons LinkBurnout Paradise (not remastered) runs great on the Steam Deck, the servers have been shutdown so you have to skip logging in every time but it's still a fun racing game. Stardew Valley runs great...- Burnout Paradise (not remastered) runs great on the Steam Deck, the servers have been shutdown so you have to skip logging in every time but it's still a fun racing game.
- Stardew Valley runs great but inventory related stuff is slower compared to using a mouse.
- Backpack Heroes
- Dicey Dungeons
- Cassette Beasts - I had issues with the game's design but it runs great
- Cat Quest - Runs great plays great
- Cat Quest 2 - Runs great but not as good as CQ1, difficulty is inconsistent
- Cave Crawler - Free to play so why not?
- Dwarf Journey - A fairly simple action platformer roguelike
- Enter the Gungeon - Bullet hell shooter
- Holocure - Free to play reverse bullet hell shooter, play if you watch any of the Hololive VTubers
- Mr. Shifty
- Patrick's Parabox
- Peglin
- Potion Craft
- Rain On Your Parade
- Rimworld (I've only played this on desktop)
- Roots of Pacha - Neolithic Stardew Valley but not as good
- Sable - Feels more like a tech demo than a game, has a truly unique art style
- Shadedown Hawaii
- Slay The Spire - Well regarded but my brain is too smooth for me to be tactical
- Streets of Rogue
- Terraria - I didn't like the controls but maybe you'll fare better
Pokemon Infinite fusion runs great but is a bit of a fiddle to install on the Steam Deck

I'm not entirely sure why I think Slime 3K is better but four reasons is that in Vampire Survivor experience just lays on the floor and enemies spawn so quickly that you can't pick up that experience to progress while in Slime 3K you're given the XP automatically. Second more health drops that greatly increase survivability. Third better art style (in my opinion) and fourth I just don't like vampires and all that stuff

The various Jackbox Party packs have various games. My favourites from Jackbox 7 are Champ'd Up and Quiplash and in Jackbox 9 my favourite is Fibbage. Both of these games benefit from having a big screen TV with a computer connected that acts as the primary display where all the results show up, everyone else uses their phones or tablets to play the game.

I don't have much experience with alcohol, we stopped at a place by the highway that specializes in apple based stuff (pies, donuts, ciders, etc) and I decided to buy the bottle of apple cider mainly to see what it's like. A long time ago I was helping a friend move and I was offered a can of Rolling Rock and it was awful. One time while at a Chinese buffet a friend offered me a taste of her Italian beer (it was in a green bottle, I don't remember the name) and it was awful too.
I don't really know what I'm looking for or if I'm really looking; no one in my family drinks (though not due to any moral objection).
How about garlic hummus on crackers?
