That’s disappointing, Discover is pretty neat.

On the other hand, with the Steam Deck sparking competition in the PC handheld market again, PC gaming has never been easier or cheaper to get into. Especially with used units starting to hit the market.

It wasn’t mentioned yet: Abiotic Factor is essentially Half-Life 1 but with coop.

If you have a friend or two interested in the same type of game I can only recommend it.

Think I can’t steer left better than you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC9Zi1Fpq1Y

Isn’t it running plain KDE? If so, Discover is included.

Thanks, that should make debugging a lot easier.

Still in stock in other regions, depending on where you live you might be able to order somewhere else?

Can you also switch between different remote views when debugging with multiple instances? Somehow I never know on which instance I am attached to.

Sayonara Wild Hearts was such an unexpected banger to play through. I still hope they make another one.

I’ve gotten stuck on a boss, closed the game thinking “I hate soulslike games, this was a waste of money,” and then beat the boss on my first try the next day.

Ah yes, the classic Souls experience.

It’s super satisfying.

It is, being in a 5 minute sword fight with swords clashing all the time is really rewarding. Many of my favorite Souls bosses are from Sekiro.

Isn’t Foundry just a website? What’s stopping you from putting a browser window on your second monitor?

Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?

Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.

Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?

Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad but I’m more of a mouse or gyro control guy.

Trackpad rules in strategy games though.

I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick?

You can combine as well. I usually use the stick on the left hand and the trackpad on the right one. You can also go back and forth while playing.

does that require tilting the device?

Yep, you can set it to activate only if your finger is resting on the right joystick. Very useful for precise movement, just bring the camera in an approximate direction with the stick and do the rest with the gyro control.

For the more popular games there’s usually a few community profiles you can download and try before messing with Steam Input yourself.

It’s a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters.

Since you have a Steam Deck, did you experiment with gyro and trackpad aim? I suck at controller aiming as well but that makes it so much easier.

FYI, it’s 35€ on green man gaming right now.

I finally bought Nine Sols.

Played through it on my Linux PC, worked flawlessly. Fantastic game!

My tip is to play the game until you find it fun, while developing it.

That’s a good tip, if your testing sessions get longer and longer because playing the game is fun you’re on the right track.

I never used gamescope on Xorg, so not sure.

Lots easier now with far fewer cables to be run, cases offer more space behind the mobo for hiding cables and not the 3/4” of space they used to offer.

That’s why I only use cube cases nowadays. Just shove all cables into the back and you’re done.
