massive_bereavement, do gaming w ADHD gaming

At my age, I'll pick a game that doesn't require several hours of unfun stuff to get to the fun stuff (endless tutorials, churning, unfun mechanics, git-gud, etc..)

If I want to dedicate lots of times to learn something, I'll pick any of the thousands of half-done projects and abandoned hobbies spread around my home.

My biggest issue with Discord is that they have become the default hubs for issues and fixes. Over days, weeks, months and years those fixes get buried and harder to find, but the worst offender is that they are unindexable by default.

Quite a good move from them, although the whole support through Discord is a botched concept per-se.
I'll check the bot too for The Gamer's Tavern, we have a few threads about Linux VR gaming and other Linux gaming/audio stuff worth (maybe?) of being set discoverable

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?

@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

If they wanted to “make a splash” they could have released it 3 years ago. I don’t know what they’re waiting for. With the launch of Steam Machines it was made available to everyone on day 1.

VaalaVasaVarde,

They are actively monitoring for “HL3 confirmed” and adds a hour to the release time for each they find.

The current release date is in the year 252525.

MBech,

That’s dumb. The only technology in 252525 will be a rusty sword for practicing proctology.

boonhet,

I heard we don’t even need our eyes by 4545 and in 5555 our arms are going to be limp. Guess the game is going to run all in our brains.

colournoun,

Likely not tbh. At least not in any way we currently understand a human to be.

InvertedParallax,

You think that’s bad, wait for the giraffes.

MBech,

That won’t be for another 747475,5 years, worry about that later.

Unboxious,

It’s not as simple as just releasing something. They need to develop it first, and making it a good experience with arbitrary hardware is actually pretty hard.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Not hard enough that it hasn’t already been done for years by volunteers with zero budget.

Unboxious,

There is no distro that supports arbitrary hardware as well as SteamOS supports the Steam Deck.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

There are several.

Unboxious,

Really? Which distro has a button I can press to open a menu to change the power budget on my Ryzen 5 5600? Which distro has everything configured for me to be able to use my VKB joysticks without needing to mess with the registry in the proton prefixes of Windows games?

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Bazzite. Chimera. Nobara. HoloISO?

Unboxious,

Lol, I’d be surprised if they could do either of those things, let alone both. I know Bazzite can’t; I have it on my laptop and that shit can’t even update itself properly.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Roflcopter, they can do both of those things.

Power levels are changed via the quick access menu and input options are configured via Steam input, which doesn’t even have anything to do with the distro in question, it’s part of the Steam client.

Unboxious, (edited )

Steam input doesn’t work with VKB joysticks, lol.

edit: figured out how to open the quick access menu on my laptop and I can’t change my power levels. So yeah, as I suspected Bazzite can’t do either of those things. I doubt any other distro can either.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Let’s say it’s not true, Valve can choose to release a distro that is mostly-complete and add additional features later or they can update it in secret for some strange reason while sitting on it…?

Unboxious,

It’s not simply “some strange reason”. There will be a lot of press coverage when they release a desktop version so naturally they want it to be as good an experience as possible. They may not ever get another chance for that kind of coverage after all, and they wouldn’t want SteamOS’s reputation to be damaged (again) because it wasn’t good enough for most people to use (again).

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

The other distros I already mentioned are already more than “good enough for most people to use”. So I disagree.

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

Isn’t SreamOS already available for download? It has been for months actually… What do you mean by “release a desktop version of SteamOS”?

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

SteamOS has been available for years but no general purpose desktop release as of yet. Or anytime in the near future.

prole,

That’s a different iteration of SteamOS than the current Arch-based immutable image the Deck uses.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Yes there’s a new iteration every few weeks

prole, (edited )

Right, but it’s a different distro than the one being referred to here. I know because I made the same mistake.

That one is based on Debian and has existed since 2013. The version on Steam Deck is Arch-based immutable and has not been publicly released yet (EDIT: For anything besides Steam Deck).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SteamOS#Releases_and_perfor…

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

The current Arch-based immutable SteamOS distro is and has been publicly available for years.

prole,

Like the wiki says:

Only available as the system image for the Steam Deck.

So OK sure, but you can literally only use it on the Steam Deck which already comes with it pre-installed.

I misspoke and clarified my previous comment.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Yes, as I said in my initial comment, there is no general purpose release.

It’s not true that you can “literally only use it on Steam Deck” either, lots of people have already demonstrated it working fine on a wide variety of devices. It’s just not intended for that purpose.

Midnitte,

The new version on the Steam Deck isn’t available - the old version of course is, but you might as well use Bazzite.

I dont think Valve would bother trying to convert people to Linux - regardless of where people’s OSes are, they are the gaming store. Plus, Valve really doesn’t think developers should develop Linux native ports, so I dont think they’re really push people to use Linux - just use whatever you want and play shit with Proton if needed.

Well yes. That’s why you buy other games.

Prey 2018, when you break through the glass. The whole game was good, but that first bit was stellar.

Dr_Box, do games w Day 296 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

Daggerfall is my favorite Elder Scrolls game and what the community has done for it is amazing. A lot of people hate the dungeon design but honestly its my favorite part. I love how mazelike they are and I have become very good at navigating them. The immersion is good too if you can wrap your head around it. Most quests having a deadline really makes you question whether or not you can fit that 8 hour rest in. Caught a disease from a rat? You wont know it until later when you start feeling too sick to travel. Cursed with lycanthropy? Better get out of town when the full moon hits. I wish they had stuck to this formula for elder scrolls games but as others in the fanbase have pointed out, these mechanics have been thrown out in favor of attracting a broader audience which sucks but I understand

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

The immersion is so much fun to get involved with. It can get a little frustrating at times, but damn is it so cool most of the time. The scale of the world is probably my favorite part. Having something of that size just makes it feel so much more immersive

gerryflap, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

As long as it’s a bit of a sandbox: hell yeah. But there needs to be stuff happening, things to do. I love games like GTA, Cyberpunk, Just Cause, Stalker, because you can just go around the world and experience random stuff happening. Sometimes I don’t want a goal, but just a sandbox to create my own stories.

Segab,

Yeah I find that open world games are only as good as their sandbox capabilities.
