yeah it’ll probably be easier to stylize a comparatively modern engine than it would be to deliver a modern feel with an old one.

thanks for the advice! ^^

this is a good theory!

i wanna make a slop farming simulator game on ue2 or some shit, but finding old dev resources is a unique challenge. maybe i’m just looking in the wrong places.

i swear as soon as they stopped releasing new unreal tournaments the engine itself started getting more bloated and unoptimized with every new version.

i’ll go ahead and assert that you’re not actually reading the comments you’re replying to. at the very least your replies give no indication of comprehension.

alright.

well you could be getting better performance on both! hahah

late reply but, i bought a deck on launch! stuff has gotten a lot easier, but you still need tweaks to get full performance.

at the very least you need to know how to use launch options and navigate protondb, which i have specifically been told is a bridge too far for some folks.

i think within the decade it may very well be truely plug and play. valve is doing some serious heavy lifting for gaming on linux.

launch tweaks, protonup-qt, decky plugins, the list goes on. there’s a number of things you need to understand before you can have a truely seamless experience on steamos in the same way you can on a bespoke console.

as much as i appreciate the convenience, it’s far from 1:1

YOOOOOO this is pretty sick actually!

lotta games end up with a non-current version becoming popular because of mod compatibility. in the absense of such support on steam, A LOT of workshop content gets straight abandoned after a game updates.

man good on them, that response is damning. you’d hope publishers (especially old heads like RWS) would be a little more apprised of these things, but given the circumstances it sounds like they weren’t informed about the use of AI assets.

i swear i read somewhere that they were shootin for around $400 for a base model

yeah, but folks who are already bought into traditional social media aren’t making that same assessment.

why would anyone pay for streaming when you can get it all for free? i certainly don’t get it, but streaming services are wildly successful nonetheless.

when the workaround is changing a word vs signing up on and learning how to use a whole new website?

yes

i’m still not sure you’ve read that page

huge laugh from the audience

turns out if you skew definitions enough, anything can be the truth!

so it’s >1 year that you get telepathy?

e: this is my last reply, this has been fun tho! please continue to exhibit this same 100% self-assurance in other threads, i tend to make a habit of talking to brick walls for funsies ^^

i just think you’re assuming a lot from a few comments here.

e:like the line of thinking here, if i’m following, is that since he likes steam he’s JUST LIKE elon musk simps. that’s legitimately crazy.

if they felt the need to correct you, then your explanation of why they were wrong in doing so isn’t gonna tell me anything other than how stubborn you are.

i’m unsure of who you’re trying to convince what at this point.

i had no idea anarchist and libertarian were synonyms, TIL

i reckon the disconnect came around the initial labeling. you GOTTA understand it’s not apolitical to call someone a libertarian in your opening line, right?

also you’re literally putting someone in a box as an opener. folks generally don’t like that.

like if this reply started with “par for the course for a centrist”, you wouldn’t think i’m a cool and understanding guy for saying it.

par for the course for libertarians.

golly i didn’t realize identity politics had such a large role in console preferences, TIL

i learned about crosscode recently, and i could tell from just a few gameplay snippets that it’s a game i’ll spend a lot of time with. at full price it was only $20, and i’m more than happy to support the devs.

their next game, alabaster dawn, looks really nice so far too.

omfg blueglass BETTER play this at GDQ. i miss him so much.

i’m blown away that the switch 2 is so beefy. nintendo has been the “lower spec consoles but AMAZING first party games” company for as long as i can remember.

not useful to you ≠ totally useless

your definition of “runs like shit” could mean anything. i personally consider anything lower than like 40fps to be terrible, but i also know steam deck owners who cap it at 30 and have no problems whatsoever.

if a game runs with no slowdown at a solid fps rate that people do specifically target for this system, obviously it’s not gonna be my cup of tea @30 but i can’t say it doesn’t work.

also “unverified” literally just means “we don’t have enough/any reports”. i have no earthly idea why the existence of working-unverified games could be a bad thing.

this is the worst way to find out my favorite game had a scummy dev the whole time lmao

there’s reviews from February that say you can still find populated servers, but that might be region dependant and you almost certainly won’t have a choice for gamemode.

guess we’re both just waiting for the next next good battlefield game 🙃

BattleBit Remastered is legitimately the tightest battlefield-like fps i’ve ever played, better than name-brand battlefield even. it fills the exact same niche for me.

i play with mic off and still manage serviceable communication with a squad of randies pretty much every game. there’s relatively frequent balance updates, so the meta isn’t focused on any one single playstyle. it’s exactly what i imagine an fps made by fps-junkies to look like.

Also playing support actually feels rewarding, and i think that’s proper rare in multiplayer games.

e: fuck hahah just kidding apparently it was abandoned by the devs. last update 15 months ago, rip to my favorite fps :c

i reckon qud is the smaller burden between the two. in terms of both how much you’ll need to learn, and how much of your life it will eat once you do.

i’m still blown away we finally managed og xbox. i guess modern consoles are so much closer to desktops anyway, it shouldn’t be too surprising they’re already being tackled!

oh holy christ i’ve never actually seen it before just now. it does have a certain “placeholder” vibe to it.

i swear pokémon duel would do the opposite of this. you’d get on a win streak and then suddenly a player with a very generic name and the EXACT counters to your deck fucken SWEEPS your ass with seemingly psychic precision. you could even trick it by switching to a deck with no synergy and just playing like a psycho whenever you got ~5 wins in a row.

i miss that game so much. taken before it’s time o7

i think psp did it first for handhelds, i know the suspend feature was a talking point when it launched. consoles didn’t get it until xbone iirc. it’s kinda wild how long it’s taken to be a regular feature!

i know this doesn’t answer your question at all, i just thought it was interesting hahah

the deck does this SO cleanly that now i get surprised when suspending my laptop breaks games.

like that’s the expected behavior, valve has me so spoiled.

the only decision that matters in the entire franchise is whether or not you hug da Vinci in the second game. that’s where player-choice peaked for assassin’s creed and i will not compromise on this.

make it so you shoot them out with a gun

EVERYBODY had the burger mii back in the day. there was also a classic gray alien and a comical looking michael jackson that practically everyone with an internet connection had downloaded from the mii channel.
