aniki, do games w Nintendo Confirms Backwards Compatibility for Switch Successor!

Fuck Nintendo

Hideakikarate, do games w The Binding of Isaac Rebith is getting online multiplayer in 2 weeks!

I “beat” isaac on the Switch (one Dead God), then got it all again for the Steam Deck so I could have mods. Unsure if the mods themselves are tanking the performance, but I don’t really care. It’s up there as one of my favorite games. The creativity of the mod creators has kept me coming back to play custom characters and challenges.

simple,

The modding community really is insane. There are a couple of fan-made expansions like Fiend Folio that massively overhaul everything. I hope this update tries not to break mod support.

Akagigahara,

There is script extender as well now. Crazy shit

Hideakikarate,

FF will NOT run on my deck very well. Not even moving in the spawn room lowers me to low 50’s FPS. It’s a real shame, too.

simple,

Have you tried running it with Repentogon? It optimized mod performance and has an options menu to adjust performance settings.

Hideakikarate,

Oh yeah. Got that installed. Was fun because I hadn’t worked with Linux systems before, so finding the proper file locations was a little challenging for myself. Custom characters have post-its and I don’t get the big banner saying it was installed wrong. Even messed with performance settings the deck offers for each game and lowered those since, well, Isaac isn’t exactly the pinnacle of graphics. Even now, just custom characters, alt paths and their additional effects (rain drops, ash, etc) tanks my performance. Unless there’s some magic that I’m not seeing, I’ve tried what I know. It is a little annoying when games that have actual models, and a lot of them at once, don’t have issues at all (Deep Rock Galactic Survivor being a prime example).

Dettweiler42, do gaming w SteamDeck TOP Played list.

I can’t help but question the accuracy of this list, since the Steam Deck doesn’t seem to log hours for games played in offline mode correctly. I easily have hundreds of hours unaccounted for. It will also add played time for hours spent in standby with a game running, but then wipe all of the hours played and in standby once I connect to the internet.

At least on PC if you play a game without internet connection the library update the achievements/hours played when you reconnect, is different when you log in the offline mode?

teawrecks,

I recently put a dozen hours into Witcher 3 while using my steam deck on a couple long flights. I’m pretty sure it synced correctly when I finally got home and connected to wifi. Maybe it didn’t work at one time, but I’d be surprised if it still doesn’t.

Yeah I played Divinity Original Sin this weekend and my internet died Saturday, finished the game, when my internet got back on Monday steam saved my +15hr and the achievements but I also let my PC on and steam opened hoping for the best.

Dettweiler42,

It does update achievements. It’s really just play time that seems to have issues

lambipapp,

Valve would probably like to hear about your findings so that they can resolve this if it is verified

MutatedBass, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 3rd

I’ve been playing Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord. About 35ish hours into this save and so far I enjoy the game a lot. It does some things better than Mount and Blade: Warband but unfortunately some aspects of the game are less developed than in it’s predecessor. Overall I think unmodded Bannerlord is better than unmodded Warband but Warband has an absolutely massive catalog of incredible mods. Maybe Bannerlord will get there one day.

DdCno1,

Which aspects are less developed?

MutatedBass,

There are a few things that have stood out to me so far.

Some smaller things:

  • Food doesn’t rot.
  • There are no feasts, which were a good oppurtunity to improve relation with a lord/lady.
  • There are less options when camping.

Some bigger things (to me anyway):

  • The courtship system was significantly reduced, basically just a few speech checks where you know the exact % chance of failure/sucsess, then purchase them from their highest ranking clan member.
  • The npc compainions don’t feel as unique as in Warband, and I find myself almost always skipping through their dialogue. Maybe this is just my run but I have only had one instance of a companion taking issue with my actions.
  • You can’t really start as a nobody anymore. In Warband you could serve as a soldier in someone else’s army and work your way up the ladder, it made for a harder path to becoming a vassal and an interesting early game. In Bannerlord you can start as someone who didn’t have noble parents, I did, but this part of the game just felt less fleshed out.

I haven’t quite started my own kingdom yet, I want to spend some more time as a vassal. But I have heard that kingdom managment and diplomacy feel unfinished to many. I guess I’ll have to see this for myself.

DdCno1,

Thank you for the detailed answer!

perviouslyiner, do gaming w Are there any open protocols for facilitating online gaming?

Like …wikipedia.org/…/Distributed_Interactive_Simulati… or you mean the match-making protocol?

john89,

I think matchmaking should be done on a per-game basis (or at least it’s a different issue.)

I’m more referring to how players connect, such as having friend lists, joining those friends, and the profiles we see in and out of games.

This protocol looks interesting, and I’ll have to learn more about it.

perviouslyiner, (edited )

The standard protocol for friends list and “who’s online” would be en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP

WolfLink, do gaming w Are there any open protocols for facilitating online gaming?

I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.

Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.

This tracks, I almost exclusively play Balarto on my deck. A lot of those last almost a whole day on battery with how undemanding they are (and did you know you can undervolt games? I run a copy of Phantasy Star Online at 3w and it lasts 8 hours).

mesamunefire,

Nice. Its such small footprint game. Im tempted to get it for mobile/ other game console (portmaster?) just to keep going. Steam deck is great, but I need something smaller when I go out.

taiyang,

I agree. I wish we could get a deck mini at the very least. I miss my hacked PSP for that reason, it has a good size for emulation. A PSP sized PC would be insane.

Just want to say that Balantro on mobile is fantastic and you don’t need to miss it just because you don’t have a steam deck.

Other games ive liked on the steam deck:

I like pixel games and/or great flow state. The SD has some of the best speakers on handhelds ive ever owned plus audio jack (wooo!). For flow games, ill often put them on and have an audiobook or podcast going at the same time.

  1. Peglin, fun little peggle rouge-like. Its a good flow state game.
  2. Coromon - Pokemon like game with excellent GBA vibes. Awesome pixel art, the coromon themselves look fantastic. Great little RPG.
  3. Dave the Diver - I recently picket this up. Ive been enjoying the game, again pixel art is great. I love that all the side charaters have these huge cutscenes but Dave is just…Dave.
  4. Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - If you liked Mario RPG or the paper mario series, this is a game for you.
  5. Tetris® Effect: Connected - Tetris, but with trippy visuals/music. Great flow state game that you can play with your friends.
  6. Cobalt Core - rouge-like, FTL like, space game. Has a good story, fun gameplay loop. Another flow state game for me.
caut_R, do games w FF6, T(ranslating)-Edition | Screenshots of what I'm playing, day 9

So this is a difficulty mod? From the title I thought it was like a Japanese practice mod or something lol

Auster,

The post title was a pun with the mod’s original name, “T-Edition”, and me insisting on playing the Japanese version despite still having difficulties with the language. But besides apparently increasing the main game’s difficulty, the mod adds a ton of optional challenges, including one that, iirc, acts like FFV’s mini dragon.

I feel like I've missed something with brotato. Isn't that another one of the platformers around the time of guacamelee and broforce, that kind of indie things?

Its gameplay is similar to Vampire Survivors. I actually prefer it because it has more characters, upgrades and synergies.

Buffalobuffalo,

And its potato based so starchy and slower digesting than most sucrose based games like this.

Custard, do games w The Binding of Isaac Rebith is getting online multiplayer in 2 weeks!

It’s been a decade since rebirth came out? It feels wrong

simple,

I remember playing it on release… Feels like a lifetime ago. Usually it’d feel like less but 10 years checks out for me here.

Custard,

I was really big into Isaac at the time, but never went back to play any of the DLCs. Maybe now is the time

simple,

You’re missing out, Repentance is amazing. They’re all on sale right now for the 10th anniversary so it’s a good time to get them.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

BoI is still one of the best feeling roguelites ever.

But it also very much suffers from the design philosophies of the 2010s. Because you are going to do one of:

  1. Spend a LOT of brainpower memorizing all the upgrades and their synergies
  2. Have a wiki open off to the side and reference it every few rooms
  3. Just YOLO and feel like the entire game is RNG

Because there are way too many upgrades that end up being downgrades that can just kill a run completely unless you plan for them. And there is no good way to understand that in game.

Well, the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta test ended. I’m devastated honestly, because I didn’t get to play it enough! It started the day I had work and ended 2 hours after I got off today. I misread the timezone and I thought it ended on the 4th and 11:59am in my timezone. It ended at like 8pm or so.

So that’s too bad! Other than that ~8 hour treat that I thoroughly enjoyed, I’ve finally gotten around to Dragon’s Dogma 2 and I’m enjoying it as well (though slighted now after my favorite series was ripped away from me). It feels a little floaty for some of the characters, but it so far has been a good experience. I’ve been in a bit of a gaming slump so it’s been nice to relax some and play some nostalgic games right as winter is hitting.

The gaming slump I was in had me pretty much only playing Phantom Brave and sifting through little games like Sonic Mania, so I’m looking forward to the games I have on my radar cause it’s really the first time in a while!

Oh also, Amanda the Adventurer 2 came out and my partner and I played through it a little bit. It’s pretty good, although it isn’t the most straightforward. We had to use a guide for quite a bit of it and, while we were close to the right track for each puzzle, we just were not on the ball with what the developers wanted from us. I think the first game was a lot like that though if I remember, and so really what matters more with that in mind is how they continue the story and the atmosphere, which they really nailed. The perfect amount of corporate conspiracy supernatural demon cult technological red herring horror.

All in all, I guess being an adult means winter is gaming time cause I’ve been pretty much too busy the rest of the year to really want or have time to game. For me, a big part of gaming is how I’m feeling, sometimes I want point and pop, sometimes I want laid back, sometimes I want something new, and sometimes I want to make numbers go big. And sometimes, I want to do other things that aren’t gaming, which makes actually gaming feel a little guilty.

I also dabbled in the monster hunter wilds beta. It was what I expected and I’ll be happy to play the full version when it’s released. I think I bonked every monster available, both large and small. I tried out the weapons I’m likely to use.

Gunlance felt ok, light bow gun was interesting but more complicated than I expected. Bow was mostly the same but with some friendly additions. Switch axe ended up being my favorite of the beta. That thing just hits so quickly and wounds to easily that I don’t know if they oops’d the damage on it, or if I was just getting lucky. There were times when I’d break and make wounds in such a way that the monster would be basically stunned for a decently long period of time. If I had been partied up it would have been much too efficient. The other thing about it is the mobility of certain slashes. It took a bit getting used to, but it covers a lot of ground for a heavy blade.

After all that, I discovered the capture net would give both the insects and their essences, so I ran around hunting for endemic life and found a lot of little critters I otherwise would have missed. There’s a hornet that was endemic but could also poison you!

And I spent some time fishing. They really changed it up in this one. You need to reel in the line slowly to actually entice the fish to bite. I wasn’t completely comfortable with it at the end of the beta, but it also feels like they’re going to work on it a bit more.

As for other stuff I played. I continue my usual dedication to a few missions a week in helldivers 2. It’s a very fun game made by some very dedicated folks, and I’m down to blast some things every now and then. I finally got my nerve up to continue playing satisfactory. I usually stop right around coal power because it’s at that point that you can really automate the world… It’s just the amount of math and just waiting on materials to build so you can finally get exponential with your growth. I’m still very much in that stage currently. I need to upscale everything but I’m waiting for materials and to make sure my power situation is handled before I go nuts.
