if you can’t find one I’d recommend getting a ps5 controller instead: it at least has one trackpad and a gyro, and works well with steam input.
I find the gyro is more useful than the track pad for mouse input, with an activation button set to capacitive touch on the track pad, or set to the aim button such as left trigger for shooting games.
Yeah it’s a new way of working and seems like it would be a good thing if society were differently constituted
It’s gone from that thebrainbin.org lemmy instance, but lemmy.nz had it cached 😊
You can thank Hideki Hayakawa, who turned thier Digital Entertainment (home videogames) division into more casino type things, completed around when Hideo left:

And now thier “Digital Entertainment” division is way more profitable: https://www.pcgamer.com/konami-just-had-its-best-ever-year-thanks-to-games-youve-never-heard-of/
Might be possible to run proton in a VM?:
Maybe try find some games that work on the mac?
There’s also this project trying to get linux in a vm to run games on a mac(and also trying to install Linux on a mac, but I assume it might break macOS since bootcamp isn’t a thing anymore, so the vm route is probably the better option):

(I haven’t tried it since I don’t own a mac, just happened to find it when another friend who does have a mac was asking for similar advice to you previously, but he didn’t end up trying it either)
you seem to spend a long time playing games you don’t like 😅
for an explanation of why people love botw: https://youtu.be/CZzcVs8tNfE
I completely agree about rdr2, but I didn’t play it that long before I just installed mods to let me duck around more and explore the beautiful world.
games i don’t like that everyone seems to love: games that waste my time with levelling systems that draw the game out way longer than it’s fun, which is most modern AAA games. I hate how people say things like “you get your moneys worth playing WoW because you’ll spend hours playing it” and “i liked portal but it was too short”, portal was good partly because it was short…
I don’t know what’s so impressive about the water, looks the same as water in every other 3D game from 1998?
I think Wave Race 64 had the best water on N64 iirc.
I also think MGS on PS1 had more impressive water.
Also Redline Racer on PC had quite impressive water for the time, but yeah, was PC, so not really a fair comparison 😅
I don’t get why they test it with half life 2. Almost all those examples look better with what they’re demonstrating turned off, and it already had really good lighting for the most part, so the difference that RTX adds is very subtle.
They should focus on building support for more games that had simpler real-time lighting instead of leaving of leaving it to the community. I tried using thier tools with Far Cry 1 and it was far too complicated and janky to get working.
Also this is just source code, not the assets (at least as far as I understand it).
Could probably just require the official game to be installed too and load the assets from that directory, or might even be able to use the shared folder, but not sure if tf2 uses that, i remember l4d and css and hl2 used to.
I think buying it on steam might do more to help, as at least then it shows up in sales statistics for the publisher and they might decide to fund a similar game in future if the stats tell them it’s viable…
I wouldn’t worry too much about it though tbh, if a game isn’t sold in a region you can’t expect people to buy it there 😂
the record, movie and games industry moguls put out a lot of propaganda to try to make people think piracy is a theft issue, but it’s actually an issue of access/convenience.
