Dremor, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #21
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

Good read, as always. The link to lego island is broken, on my end at least (it redirects to LW).

For copyright reasons I’d rather it be the link to the decompiled/ported source code rather than directly to the game itself. I doubt they got the 3d models IP owner autorisation to use them, thus falling into the no linking to piracy rule.

The game was deemed abandonware years ago now, featuring both on the site myabandonware and on archive.org. There’s no complaints from LEGO itself as a brand since being shared there, but I’ll just remove the link entirely for you since you’re worried!

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

Honesty I’d agree that it should be allowed, but the EU has a much more strict rules on fair use than most countries has. And as LW is hosted in the EU, that’s the rule we have to follow.

But the jurisprudence made it clear that source code is considered as ok as soon as it does not contain copyrighted materials (original 3d models, music, etc). That why I’d prefer to link directly to the source code.

And if they have a direct link to the playable version of that game on said repository, that’s not our problem anymore 😅.

Hey, don’t worry! Better safe than sorry, this way at least if people reading are curious and want to find it (and play!) they can search it up, I’d assume. No problems!!!

I still hate pressing the sticks for most anything. First thing I do in most games on my steam deck is remap them to the back paddle buttons.

I hate when the default controls have duck toggled on R3 but then don’t have anything on two of the 4 face buttons. Crouch should be on Circle/B if you’re not using that button for anything else.

FreeAZ, (edited )

No…

The entire reason it’s like that is so you can crouch and aim at the same time, it’s almost objectively better, as long as you don’t accidently press it.

The best control schemes are the ones that bind any action that would be useful to do while still controlling the camera to the back buttons or the sticks.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I’m talking about a toggle tho. It’s not going to be accidentally toggled if its not on the stick, and the stick press is usually really sensitive. I can also hit the far right face button with the first knuckle of my thumb, while still having the end of my thumb moving stick.

If there was no toggle crouch in the theoretical game, then I would agree with you.

FreeAZ,

I prefer toggle crouch and I still much prefer it on the right stick. Allows you to spam crouch and aim at the same time, but do you. I just think it’s objectively better and hate when any action I would use while controlling the camera is on a face button.

My main point is there is a genuine reason it’s mapped to the stick by default, I would be annoyed if it was on the face buttons by default.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I think we can both agree that not being able to make any button do any thing is the best way to go about it. I hate being limited to a single scheme, or even just 2 or 3 and not being able to 100℅ fully customize them.

FreeAZ,

Yes.

MrScottyTay,

Stick buttons should always be toggles in my opinion. Fuck having to keep that pressed in while moving it around.

LifeInMultipleChoice,

What game does that? Any game I’ve ever played that used them for crouch was press for crouch, press and hold for a half second to go prone.

MrScottyTay,

Loads of games and if not by default it’s an option in the menu. Not so games have prone either

Ziglin,

But it’s really hard to use the joystick when you’re putting so much force into keeping it pressed.

FreeAZ,

Most people use toggle crouch, I just click it once and that’s it.

@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Breath of the wild is the worst. Crouch, as a toggle control, on L3.

calcopiritus,

Would be way worse to be hold. You know what I hate more than pressing L/R34? Holding them

VindictiveJudge,
@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

That was the industry standard for a long time and it still pops up sporadically.

7 year old me also didn’t know about the L3 and R3 buttons. But this was the controller I had at the time so perhaps reasonable.

The controller that came with the Atari 5200 was complete ass. That third-party one was much, much better.

You only get to know if you’ve looked at the game manuals of old, and seen them annotated. I still refer to them as left/right stick in

@cRazi_man@europe.pub avatar

Oh yeah, push that stick right in.

Giggety

Ziglin,

Don’t they have it the manual for the console too?

I’ve also seen the input symbol showing a stick being pressed down sometimes.

OW2 got way better in the past year that I'd say it's a good f2p game, it deserved all the bashing on launch but once they went back on locking heroes and actually started adding new content it's worth a play. Lemmy hates live service though so nobody is going to let you say it out loud without getting mass downvoted.

Eyck_of_denesle,

Yea I noticed. I’m young so even if I want to play co op games, my friends won’t join cause you just like instant stress relief fighting games ig.

Yermaw, do games w Overwatch 2 slaps

I really wish there were custom games where they just play like quick play. I do believe its one of the best games out if not for the players. You either meet Sweaty Eddie who’s on the mic telling you to kill yourself because he thinks youre not winning hard enough, or the guy who thinks the game is to stand there and spam “hello” and the dance emote at the enemy.

I very very rarely get a game where people are just playing the game and enjoying themselves.

rigatti,
@rigatti@lemmy.world avatar

You wish there were queues for the custom games like there is for quick play? Trying to understand your comment here.

Yermaw,

Like when you look at the list of custom games, instead of just being weird and wonderful game modes and “chill no kill VC 18+” there was also “regular overwatch being played by regular people”

Eyck_of_denesle,

Never faced this problem because I play i south east asian servers. No one ever comms. Which makes ot a little boring for me as I come from Valorant where players talk a lot about strategy compared to ow2. But I’m getting used to it.

I’m enjoying it! Long puppy is def my favorite so far. I was really excited for Shadow gate and while it is a very cool project idk if the game is really for me

Pechente, do gaming w Playdate Season 2

I got kinda caught up in Dig Dig Dino but to be honest, I‘m lagging behind in giving the newer games a fair shot since the release of the Switch 2 has distracted me slightly

There never was a rules-based order. There was just America, the imperialist empire that it is. There are no norms anymore. It’s just bitches running wild… And it kind of always was like this, really. It’s just… the temperature is rising, and the events are accelerating. America, the Supreme Karen, is flailing about making a scene. She never worked on herself. And so all she can do is slap, bite, and scratch. As she falls into the abyss of her own self-awareness and Self-Hatred. So entering the stage is the kazoo man playing the national anthem trailing off, losing interest. You can hear the coughing in the audience and the crickets chirping as people are exiting out the back. A limp dick, a turd left in the bowl you flush and its legacy is the streak that is left. USAID is the CIA slush fund and charity is tyranny. A mechanism of colonizers. The world is a capitalist hellhole. War is used as a bludgeon to beat down the working class. These rich bitches might have an argument or two amongst themselves, but they understand their place in the hierarchy. They will join forces to get you to work for nothing. They all in on it. It is your kids not mine. So, I’m only gonna live so long, so it is what it is. Meh… okey dokey in the hocus pokey and you turn yourself around and that’s what it’s all about. AOC and Bernie Scamturdz is gonna save us all! hahahhahahhaha. Oh Nancy! Oh Nancy! Where are you Nancy?

AV8s are pretty old. The US retired them in the early 2000s. NATOPs manuals explain how to fly the plane, like what button controls what. I’ve never been on the war thunder forums, but whatever argument that triggered this upload was probably over something really dumb. Like what button controls the windshield wipers or something.

kungen,

IIRC it was basically “the Harrier behaves too fat”, not as much maneuverability as in reality.
