Yeah that’s crazy, the touchpads on the Steam Deck are really good…

With no subscription, just simply uploading from my GBA/DS/3DS/Switch to my Steamdeck… Nintendo for reasons completely lost to me refuses to allow that. Like, wth are they even doing over there to not have solved that issue day 1 on the switch.

Are you honestly asking why Nintendo doesn’t allow you to simply bypass purchasing their console? Really? Why do you think?

Before Steam Deck maybe.

Imagine if people were this principled about things that actually mattered…

Use the Windows version with Proton, it almost always works better.

I’ve been playing Oblivion on Linux through Proton and have had zero issues. Like most games.

Your data on Linux gaming is woefully outdated.

I imagine the Deck hardware is barely up to snuff.

Same. No problems whatsoever.

I love gaming on Linux

Have you tried Against the Storm (based on your mentioning of RTS style games)

Why does it look like they’re making their 3D titles on PlayStation 3s?

All 2D Mario games seem pretty similar. Of course people are hungry for new levels to play, but there’s hardly anything groundbreakingly different from one to the next.

This is exactly why they put out Super Mario Wonder, which was pretty different (and pretty good imo)

Maybe… It’s been a long time since I read.

Awesome book, but man that’s a pretty major spoiler lol

Groundbreaking

Some save scumming. A couple of false starts. Once or twice where I played a few hours before realizing that I fucked up several hours prior.

Yes, I know this is not how the game is meant to be played. No, I do not care.

Oh shit good call, I’m in the same boat. I have like 100 hours and I’m still at the end of Act 1. Had to take a break, but it’s a hard game to come back to after a while.

Steam also has like the most generous return policy for video games ever

Yakuza series for sure.

But yeah, I wouldn’t put it at the top of the list, personally.

This is also part of the reason why Switch seems to be fairly powerful

Say what? In what world? The chip was already like 5 years old when Switch came out.

Playing this game for the first time and it’s very impressive.

I’ve read that the game world is estimated to be 5x larger than Fallout 4’s, and 3x larger than The Witcher 3. That’s insane.

feel disgust when your beliefs are challenged

I remember feeling this in church as a kid. Know what I did? I asked myself, “why would I react that way? If this is true, then it should be able to withstand challenges, and if it’s not then it is not worth believing.”

You’re asking the wrong person as I stopped caring about Star Wars a couple of decades ago.

Maybe they’ve gotten better at filtering that shit out in the past couple of years, but can tell you with certainty that I’ve watched at least a half dozen shows and movies based entirely on this and have enjoyed them. My memory is shit so I can’t seem to think of any off the top of my head right now. If any come to me I will update this comment.

It’s usually media that portray the black experience in America, or that shows US history (particularly slavery and/or Jim Crow) in a negative light. Sometimes it’s just because it’s about strong women. Or, in their minds, it makes men look bad (because portraying the objectively shitty things men do is apparently biased)

For examples of the religious BS, look up anything Jim Caveizal has been in throughout the last decade or so.

Also, the only thing that comes from including more people of color, LGBTQ+ people, etc., in media is more variety in characters and possible story lines. How is that ever a bad thing?

Also I’m pretty sure that the black samurai in the game is an actual real, historical figure. Or at least based on one.

Which makes it all so much stupider. It’s not even about race swapping, it’s literally people upset that the main character of a video game is black.

I, unironically, use this as a way of finding movies, TV shows and games that I might like.

If you go on RottenTomatoes and look at the critic score vs. the user score, you can really tell a lot.

For example, if a movie has a very low critic score, and a suspiciously high user score, it’s most certainly religious drivel created to push a narrative. If you click on the reviews, it will confirm it. Every time.

Conversely, if a movie or show has a very high critic score, and a suspiciously low user score, it’s going to be because of conservative snowflakes getting triggered. Again, reading the user reviews confirms it every time.

In the case of the latter, it almost always means I will enjoy the content. So I will seek out movies and shows that have that discrepancy.

To be fair, they had to have seen this coming

I was just reading some of the reviews on Steam the other night (because it’s my favorite game), and was pleasantly surprised to see that I was not alone in that view.

People who know, know.

Once it clicks, there is no feeling like it. Incredible game.

YES.

Sekiro is my favorite game ever and I wish they’d make a sequel.

It’s so good that it ruins other games for paling in comparison.

Sekiro.

This game is cool and nobody ever talks about it.

3D platformer meets Pikmin plus Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Shameless

I like “search action” instead of Metroidvania. Credit to Tim Rogers.

Holy shit

Skyrim wasn’t “weird” by any definition I’d use. More like bland.

Morrowind is over 20 years old, and there hasn’t been a FO game with compelling plot lines since New Vegas. You are living in the past.

I’ve played through DS several times and would expect to get it finished in about five hours

Do you think your experience here is at all the norm?

I have distinct memories of my buddy completely demolishing the level with the skeletons who play their own bones like xylophones, on the hardest difficulty.

Great music

I haven’t used PCSX in a while, but I remember those settings being obscure af if you’re not like an expert on VRAM and shit. I would just try everything until I found the best settings for the game lol. Thankfully you can save settings per-game I believe.

I believe a Suikoden 1 & 2 remaster is coming out soon.

Hell yes, Gitaroo Man is fucking dope… Had a friend in high school who was like obsessed with that game, he got really good. I tried it again recently on an emulator and holy shit it gets hard after a few levels.
