VR was amazing, Red Dead 2 is a work of art, the Gran Turismo series stole weeks from my life, the Dreamcast was beautiful in every way, Quake made me realise how much I loved fast twitch sports, seeing Tekken in 3D on the PS1 for the first time blew my mind so hard I could scarcely believe it was real, the Amiga got me into computing and likely secured my career in IT, but…
Dirt Rally 2.0 is just so beautiful to look at, so smooth at a solid 60fps, and the controls on the Deck so perfectly suited to the semi-realistic physics, requiring absolute concentration to the point that you can lose yourself to a full and pure flow-state of mind in seconds after a pause / resume, whilst just sitting at your desk, or on the sofa, or on the toilet…
The graphics, the sound, the physics, the performance, the skills you have to build, the state of mind it puts you in, and all on a handheld device that handles it beautifully.
It’s gaming history, in my own canon.
It’s awesome on the Deck!
But I kept Dirt Rally 1 on it instead because :
1 - It takes less space
2 - I’m ok at 1 but really bad at 2. It’s much harder! Am I doing it wrong?
I followed this image of someone else’s controller settings, and it feels great to me, but I didn’t test the default settings to see how much of a difference it made.

Looks promising, will check that out in an hour or so, thanks 👍🏼
I think I only had to change the first 3 or 4 settings on that page, the rest is default IIRC. So I don’t know how much of a difference it will make, but maybe it will be just enough!! Also messing with the Steering Sensitivity might help, I think I started with 87 or something and it felt fine so I kept it there.
