BossDj, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #15

I have to stop reading these. I finally just got Death Stranding installed to play this weekend, but now I’m eyeing expedition 33 because it looks beautiful. I feel like a week from now you’ll have me pulled another direction!

Honestly, of the two, Death Stranding is my pick!

I am so constantly amazed with the world he built for that game. It is so beautiful, and expansive and lovely. Please check in with me and let me know how you enjoy it!

BossDj,

Ok then, staying the course! Also two questions…

I can’t find best answer for Death Stranding: Should I go mouse & keyboard or controller?

And what country did you end up in?

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I played and had the most fun with controller, on my desktop PC and…obviously my subsequent play-throughs on my Steam Deck. But I’d say that one in particular is personal preference!

After Thailand I went to visit Malaysia (just Langkawi then K.L.)!!!

:)

TheOakTree,

Expedition 33 has me hooked. Amazing game.

DokiDokiCT, do gaming w Let's hear both sides

I always make a point to at least look at a few of them. Sometimes it’s ragebait, but there have been a few times where the review has actually mentioned something that was a deal breaker for me.

Redfields are just straight up built different.

This is awesome! I hope more groups start doing this.
Edit: Are they using a script/tool for this, or are they manually copying over the questions and answers?

Played the first demo of Gothic they released, an that felt very different from the original. Will have to check out the new one. But, for anyone interested, the original games are still great to play.

I finally finished the Witcher 3 after 10 weeks and 160 hours, and have since moved to my computer for System Shock 2. Still early in the game, but it’s really different from Nightdives remake of SS1.

I 100% agree. It’s an amazing game. The guild quests are some of the best parts of it.

That’s odd!

Not my doing, must be something to do with your instance? Perhaps? Has it stopped now? I hope it has, because my posts as you pointed out…they’re not short ones!

megopie, do gaming w Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year

The thing is, I don’t think valve wants to become a desktop OS provider. Becoming the provider and maintainer of an OS for hundreds of millions of users is so far beyond their scope as a company. They’ve got a third the employees of Canonical and a fiftieth the employees of RedHat, the companies behind Ubuntu and Fedora. Maintaining a limited scope console/handheld OS that runs on a handful of hardware set ups is one thing, but supporting a fully fledged daily driver desktop OS meant to operate on any system is something else entirely.

Right now, most of their users are on windows, which makes them nervous because Microsoft is a known monopolist and has been slowly creeping deeper in to the PC games space. That’s why Valve has put so much effort in to software to support compatibility on Linux, so there is a viable alternative if Microsoft try’s to push them out. I think the steam deck and steamOS were a means to that end, create a business reason to develop and support those tools, not a first step towards becoming an operating system developer.

A better route forward for them would be to use their reach and public trust to help people make the switch to other extant distros. For example an all in one utility on the steam store that helps people select the right distro for their use case and set it up, have a hardware scan and a little quiz to choose a distro, a hard drive partitioning tool to set up dual boot, a tool to write the ISO to a USB drive (or maybe even just set up a bootable on the disk using the partitioner IDK), and migrate important files over using their cloud system.

If the issue is that people trust stuff with the valve branding on it, but are not willing to try Linux on their own, then Steam acting as a guide is much more practical than Valve taking on all the work needed to maintain a proper distro.

Crotaro,

That is an excellent suggestion!

I recognise that for almost any one task, Linux has a solution that works better than Windows. My issue is just getting Linux to run not only one specific thing but all the dozens of programs with each having their own dependencies and possible quirks without losing my mind, weeks of my life, data or all three.

If Valve (or really any other large entity capable of handling this for tens of thousands of users) stepped in to act as the guide for setting it all up in a safe manner and such that it just works without constant need for tweaking (unless you want to stray from the “installation wizard”), I could see Linux gain a big surge in users.

Fallout 76 has a new springtime event so I’ve been playing that a lot. Little bit of the Oblivion remaster. Started Cabernet.

You’re getting very close to 365, have anything special in mind for that day?

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I thought about it, but honestly i don’t have any ideas. I’d consider redoing my very first screenshot but i believe that was Uncharted 4 and i’ve already done that. I’ve thought about doing just a collection of my favorite photos but i have so many that i couldn’t decide lol. I have been thinking about it though

You could post a collage of all 364 screenshots together, but that must be quite a bit of work.

This is so much better than the click bait bullshit on Reddit. I love people like you who put effort into quality posts like this, and this ecosystem in general that supports it!

PerfectDark,

I love Lemmy and Mastodon!

I actually shudder with how much time and effort and content and moderation I gave to Reddit over such a long time. I am so much happier around here :)

Thanks for reading, and enjoying these!!!

YiddishMcSquidish,

Thank you for at least attempting to treat my ADHD! I didn’t realize I could concentrate on anything more than a few minutes, let alone the hour or so I spent reading this.

I’m so, so glad!!!

Maybe it was because each little story is quite short?! In its own little ‘bubble’ so to speak. Self-contained and eaiser to get through each bit?!

No matter what, I’m glad you enjoyed this!
