PC ports being awful was actually the norm back then. We PC gamers used to praise companies that released good ports, when it should be the bare minimum. Granted we still get crappy ports from time to time, even with big game releases that should be taken good care of (looking at you, Last of Us Part 1), but generally speaking, I’d say that awful ports are now less common than good ones.
No. The internals have been significantly modified on the OLED version. Also, the OLED screen is slightly bigger, since the OLED Deck has smaller bezels.
Both
Emulation Station, Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonder, Paper Mario (GameCube), Chrome and some GoG and Epic games.
I played the entire game, start to finish, on release, on my Deck. It crashed twice, apart from that, no issues, and certainly no hoops or ladders.
Isn’t all of that part of the game?
If you like it, pretty much infinite. No 2 runs of Slay the Spire are the same. I have it on PC and iOS, got 100 hours already on Steam, and I play at least one run a day on my phone while commuting on bus.
For transfering files between PC and Deck, you can share a folder and access it from desktop mode. See how here. Looks like a hassle, but it’s set up once and forget about it, and for me it’s the easiest way.
Also, keep in mind that if you have a Steam game downloaded on your desktop PC and want to download it on the Deck, having the PC on with Steam running, just hit download on the Deck and Steam will transfer all it can from your local PC, which should be faster than downloading from the internet.

I actually bought Clone of the Kingdom from Dbrand, but I’m too afraid to put it, as I’m not known for my manual dexterity.
I just never had luck with the PC version, it crashes constantly. If you upscale the resolution of the PS2 emulation, the game looks pretty decent.
Bully. The PC port is that bad, it’s better to just emulate the PS2 version.
There are some non-multiplayer games that can also work as co-op games. Puzzle games like Baba is you, mystery games like Return of the Obra Dinn, or narrative games like The Walking Dead are more like watching a series than playing a game, doesn’t really matter who holds the controller.
The PSP has such an amazing library of games. I love Loco roco, what a beautiful and weird game that is. Love Patapon also.
You now have a spare computer, and are able to go down this rabbit hole

Spain, packaged
I’m currently playing Eastward, so that.
Wrong, they need to make GTA6 run on the Steam Deck. We need better made games, not more powerful hardware to bruteforce through poorly optimized games.
Ordered on release, supposed to be on delivery right now. Spain.
