BombOmOm, do games w Games to play with my late 40s brothers?
@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

Some games that make for some fun coop and don’t require a ton of screen time. All of these are at least gold rated on ProtonDB so should be fine on the SteamDeck, though I’m not sure about crossplay with consoles on any:

  • Sanctum - An interesting combo of first person shooter and tower defense (Sanctum 2 was also real good)
  • Borderlands 1 - Looter shooter with some solid humor (Borderlands 2 was also real good, but goes downhill in later games)
  • MechWarrior 5 - Who doesn’t want to be a giant mech riddled with guns?
  • Left 4 Dead 2 - Fight together to escape zombies, or in multiplayer servers work together as the zombies to take out other humans

Now, less of a focus on shooters:

Great I’ll check em out, thanks mate. I’m going to send this comment to my brothers. Yeah I’m thinking we can do co-op gaming.i don’t think we really want to play against other people, we’re pretty much looking for a private playground until we get good enough to play with the clever kids!

The Quake games (1 and 2) got updated with co-op support and cross play.

The Borderlands series might work. Also I believe L4D2 might run on all those, if y’all wanna coop some zombies?

Hmm left for dead 2 seems possible for steam deck at least. I’ll check with the others. Yeah we could do co-op, but I don’t think we wanna play against other humans. Just something we can catch up an have fun for two or three hours each week

Halo Infinite has free multiplayer that is cross-platform between PC and Xbox, and works on the Steam Deck. There are lots of competitive and co-op modes available, both in official playlists and community made Forge modes.

You can make private matches until you’re comfortable joining public ones.

The campaign is also online co-op, but must be paid for.

Every year I enjoy the hell out of Left 4 Dead 2 around Halloween. If you guys have never played it, oh you’re in for a fun time. Super cheap and runs on a potato at this point if your Xbox brother can find a computer.

I would love to say this is going to flop, but in the States people pay $1k for telephones and $600+ for consoles and then pay a monthly fee to then use those devices.

Brumefey,

1k for phone ? Iphone pro max are now close to 2k …

VintageTech,

What??? I’m way out of the loop.

Gamers_mate,

Hi not even Estonian I tried your minecraft seed and it spawns me in a snowy taiga. :) https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/b7bd54e4-c24b-4eef-a17a-4c4dfe352641.webp

LallyLuckFarm,

D…Dad?

Comment105,

Your dad is a real motherfucker, Lally.

If my advice means anything, don’t get reunited.

Gamers_mate,

Is this a movie reference?

Comment105,

You’re a motherfucker with your human rights violating humor. Also, dads are motherfuckers. Also, the user who thought you were theirs shouldn’t get back in contact with a dad that would subject a stranger to that kind of humor.

Gamers_mate,

Are you okay? I think this is a misunderstanding this is just some wholesome hi insert name I’m Dad type joke. I can assure you it has nothing to do with human rights.

Gamers_mate,

Your dad is a real motherfucker

I don’t get the reference but the seed does spawn you at a regular forest and an old growth birch forest. https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/32338256-290d-4e10-b9c1-92a26230b7b6.webp

Gamers_mate,

Yeah I said beehaw because I was posting it in a beehaw community though this can apply to anyone who sees this in the fediverse. Would be a silly thing to gatekeep. :)

montar_, do zapytajszmer w Jak zgrać treści z płyty CD?

Wiele (zwykle większych) bibliotek ma sprzęt do archiwizacji mediów cyfrowych, ten sprzęt często potrafi przeczytać media w gorszym stanie, a napewno nie uszkodzi ich bardziej. Słyszałem głównie o dyskietkach ale może i z płytami pomogą. Nawet jeśli nie mają specjalnego sprzętu to prawdopodobnie mają porządny napęd.

Wow, to jest trop!!!

donuts, do games w I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement

These achievements are just filler, preying on the people who feel bad if they don’t get them all.

You can see in your own screenshot that 0.1% of players have completed it. So yes, it’s possible.

Worth it? No.

False,

You can use certain programs to give yourself achievements. Could be that

donuts, (edited )

I mean, it’s like a hobby. If you are unlocking them with a program you’re just cheating on yourself. If you feel like you need to cheat to make yourself feel better about something that doesn’t impact anyone else, then I think you should reflect a bit on that and ask yourself why you wanted it in the first place.

But that’s just like, my opinion, man. It doesn’t really harm anyone in the end. I just think achievements are used as carrots on a stick, exploiting the human psyche of “number go up = dopamine” to make the player think the game has more value than it does, or is “worth the price” because you got so many hours out of it (grinding for those last shitty achievements).

DesolateMood,

I think it’s fair for someone to want to cheat in achievements of this nature. OP put over 100 hours into this game and is only 0.1% of the way there. If I put 100 hours into a game, I would also want to fast track past these two middle fingers the devs threw in

donuts,

It’s not even their progress, it’s the percentage of all the people that have access to the game: steamcommunity.com/stats/2884590/achievements. So it’s probably worse

False,

I did it for the original Killing Floor because they had class features locked behind achievements.

CalcProgrammer1, do gaming w My Experience With The ROG Ally Z1E (Windows/Bazzite)

I should install Bazzite on my Ally and give it a try. I have Arch on it now, dual boot with the Windows 11 it came with. I want to keep Windows on it as I use it as a low powered Windows runner for GitLab projects, but Arch isn’t as nice to use on it as I wanted and if I’m just going to be gaming on the Linux side, immutable is fine I guess. I recently tried playing Fortnite on my Ally and it ran well, I have a Steam Deck for things that already run on SteamOS and I much prefer it to the Ally so if I install Bazzite it would just be for comparing vs the Deck and to experiment.

xavier666,

IMO the only advantages the ROG Ally has over the Steam Deck OLED are

  • VRR with 120 Hz
  • Anti-cheat support
  • Slightly more powerful chip

In every other way, the Steam Deck is superior (interface polish, battery life, HDR, touchpad).

princessnorah, do gaming w My Experience With The ROG Ally Z1E (Windows/Bazzite)

I have a Legion Go, not a ROG Ally, so I may be wrong here. But Handheld Daemon (HHD) (included OOTB with handheld images) supports fine TDP/fan controls. You get to it by long-pressing the button that brings up the Quick Access Menu in big picture mode.

xavier666,

Hi, you’re absolutely correct and sorry for being unclear.

I mean precise TDP control (16W or 17W) and custom fan curves. I’ve used HHD, it’s also good. Most people simple switch between power saving / balanced / performance but wanted to go down further to extract a little more juice out of the device.

SimpleDeckyTDP is a bit tricky (open desktop mode - open terminal - paste command) to install but offers more customisation.

princessnorah,

HHD allows those things though? https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/134674c4-c30b-470b-8800-d61ec900c3e4.webp

It even hooks into the Steam TDP controls: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/6c050c1e-6d02-4cad-9eff-f6d29f5e49f2.webp

(disclaimer: again, this is a legion go, i cannot confirm that for the rog ally)

xavier666,

It’s possible I have to RTFM.

I checked the Bazzite documentation for the Ally and it says SimpleDeckyTDP provides more features than HHD so I didn’t experiment with it at all. I prefer using the Decky plugin mainly because it fits with the Bazzite theme better :P

ErsatzCoalButter, do gaming w My Experience With The ROG Ally Z1E (Windows/Bazzite)

fantastic post, I wouldn’t have considered that fan setting issue on Bazz…

wonder if one of the linux fans speed apps can replace that functionality to some extent

am i dumb or do those two achievements have the exact same requirement?

Gingernate,

Circumference of the earth 24k miles Distance to the moon 239k miles

Not sure why it shows the saame number in the achievement kinda weird…

DannyBoy,

Both is percentage of players that got the achievement I believe.

Gingernate,

40075020 would be a wild percentage

DannyBoy,

Ah I missed that part.
