I just accidentally stumbled onto Dave the Diver and I really want it, though it's not on a particularly great sale. Concept sounds super fun.

I'm pretty sure it just left early access so the small discount makes sense. It's a stellar game and honestly much longer than you'd think with a game that screams casual.

Is performance still poor on the Deck though? I played it a few months ago but was going to wait to see if performance improved.

Even 40fps was hard to maintain consistently.

I force most games into 45 or 60 of I can help it. I've never noticed bad performance while swimming so I loaded it up and played for a bit. I was locked to 60 with no issues. Definitely fixed whatever performance issues they had.

Great to hear!

FYI, if you’re seeming the mathematical balance between 30 and 60 fps, 40 is what you’re looking for. By frame-time, 40 is exactly between 30 and 60 (25ms vs 16.67 and 33.33, respectively).
