julianh, do gaming w Controller help

I use a switch pro controller regularly on mint, so it should work. I believe support got merged into the kernel a while back.

If not, joycond also works (although it’s a bit janky in my experience): github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond

sleepybisexual,

Thank you.

I thought all switch stuff needed that fancy driver.

What about PlayStation controllers?

Playstation controllers work for. I’ve tried ps4 and ps5 ones with no issues.

OmanMkII,

Yeah ps4 works a charm, the hard part for me was figuring out why an Xbox controller didn’t. Turns out some of the older models had deprecated Bluetooth that it couldn’t connect to, so went with a ps4 one instead.

sleepybisexual,

Oki :3

Now I guess I just gotta find some good fighting games

I'm glad you enjoyed Alan Wake 2! It is definitely a great game.

Still working on Lies of P. This game is taking me way too long to finish. I am still making progress, and I'm still having a good time, but I think I'm going to find a shooter style game to add to the mix so I don't get too burnt out or too bored with the combat style.

I don’t know why but 4 years after the official launch I started playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I like it because other than the stores schedule there is no timer constantly running like you have in Stardew Valley. I tend to get very anxious/FOMO in games with timed events and where 24 hours are like 1 hour or 20 minutes in real time.

CosmicCleric, (edited ) do gaming w Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam?
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

Fedora/KDE (on all AMD hardware).

No brainer, everything just works.

And for those games that aren’t Steam based, I use Bottles, and then use the feature inside a Bottles that adds the game to my Steam library, so they can be launched directly from Steam.

Fedora seems to have the best support for hardware, of all the distros that I’ve tried.

There’s potentially some cloud-based options for this, if someone doesn’t want to maintain a gaming device.

Basically, it seems like Game Pass Ultimate will let you play games like The Sims 4 and Minecraft using a constant video connection to an Xbox server. If I’m right, these are in fact the mouse/keyboard version of the game. Probably not as moddable though.

It’s not a great option especially considering the subscription, but it sometimes feels more hassle-free depending on the user.

If you’re still looking for folk to playtest your game, I’d be down to give it a go! I’ve not done that kinda stuff before, but I have played an unhealthy amount of games, including the Stanley Parable. c:

Road_Warrior_10,

Perfect, can you please add me as a friend on Discord so we can figure out the best time for both of us. My Discord name: evotheseusgames

ResidentCoffeeCat,

Sent a friend request just now.

prettybunnys, (edited ) do games w The Sega Saturn

I played Panzer Dragoon and Mystaria at my friends house and was so jealous of the Sega Saturn.

This was the summer before the PS1 was released so ALL of what the Saturn had was a “killer app” as far as my 10 year old brain was concerned.

Uh, what method are you planning on using? I have my phone and a super 8 as far as recording goes. I mean I’m down, but I need to know what’s involved.

Road_Warrior_10,

Hi, the way I’ve done it before is we get on Discord or any other screen sharing site and you share the screen and play the game and we discuss in real time what you like, what you don’t. What work, what does not so can get the feel of someone else of experiencing the game for the fist time. : ) If that is okay with you we can do it

I’ve been pretty satisfied with the rite in the rain pens. The ink is pretty nice for writing in all conditions. They have a pretty wide variety to choose from.

Mistic, (edited ) do games w Which game series had the worst anniversary celebration?

Genshin Impact’s first anniversary was the most horrendous one I’ve seen.

They couldn’t even bother to send out an in-game message to congratulate the players.

What they did instead is paying thousands of dollars for Twitter emojis and dishing out a few give-away events where you had to practically advertise for the game to enter. Were you guaranteed to get any reward? No.

Essentially, instead of even acknowledging the anniversary, they made players advertise their game.

They were also supposed to introduce a paid bundle with some cosmetic items alongside a free concert stream (the concert was pretty good). But that was after the anniversary. Keep the bundle in mind, however.

What did it lead to?

  • Thousands of outraged players flooded social media.
  • Their discord was spammed with “qiqi fallen” emote (one of the characters laying on her back with a blank stare).
  • Review bombing got to the point where even Google Classrooms became one of the casualties

I’m probably missing some other details, but this lasted for weeks.

After a long while of non-communication, the devs gave in and finally decided to give players something. This “something” turned out to be the bundle that was supposed to be paid content alongside some (read “very little”) in-game resources. There was also another another giveaway event with, this time, guaranteed rewards. The rewards were, practically, you either get a scooter or one cent. Needless to say, it left a sour taste afterward.

Honestly, it felt like a slap in the face, but it was enough for the things to start calming down.

So far, even though they’re still very stingy with any sort of rewards, they at least make sure to congratulate the players somehow and give something.

Applejuicy, do gaming w Trying to Give Away Some Accounts

Hope you can give them to someone in need.

piyuv, do gaming w I just got a Playdate!

I can’t bring myself to spend 200$ on it, no matter how many praises I read. It doesn’t matter that they’re including 20 games, they’re all pretty short and switch lite costs 200$. I believe I’d buy one around 100$, if I ever see a 2nd hand for that price

TheSambassador,

It’s an enthusiast device. As a gamedev myself, it’s super fun to make little games for, and then you can easily show your friends/family. The limitations and unique input (the crank) lead to some awesome and interesting games.

I don’t really view it as a serious gaming device. It’s great for 5-20 minute sessions but it is basically a toy. I think if you’re interested in experimental indie games, it’s a great little device that’s absolutely worth it. It shouldn’t be directly compared to a “normal” game console because, frankly, it isn’t.

Aurenkin, do gaming w Heroes 3 appreciation post

Such a great game. I used to go to my friends place on weekends and we’d spend all day playing hot seat.
