Desktop mode is good.

Big Picture Mode is good.

Why it’s so easy to accidentally switch between the two makes no fucking sense.

ech, (edited )

Why it’s easy is because the window control buttons are slightly different on steam then on every other window on the PC, putting the big picture mode button right behind where the minimize button usually is. Why Valve did this? No fucking clue.

Big picture mode is great, how easy it is to start it up accidentally isn’t

Pajooonk, do zapytajszmer w Czemu na szmerze linkowany jest klub jagielloński? To przypadkiem nie prawacka organizacja?

Normalizowanie tego typu gówno źródeł i wstawienie ich na stronie obok źródeł które się do czegoś nadają, jest formą zatruwania źródła informacji jakim jest szmer.

Tworzenie bańki to jedno, ale mieszanie jakichś chujowych treści z wiarygodnymi to dużo większy problem.

Co dalej, wrzucanie obok siebie jakichś reportaży i filmów na temat fundacji i akcji prospołecznych, a obok tego jakiś news o tym jak to brauniści i putin to propozycja nowoczesnego konserwatyzmu?

My thing is I wish there was an easy way to get out of BPM. The few times I’ve accidentally switched to it, it takes me at least twice as long to find out where the button to switch back is

Edit: whenever I go to the power button on the sidebar in BPM, it never gives me an option to exit, just to turn off my PC completely.

BOO!!!

Big picture mode is amazing, I have my living room PC boot straight to big picture mode.

I love big picture mode for my use case - my living room PC boots it automatically for couch gaming with a controller. That being said, the button to launch it from the steam desktop client is very poorly positioned and I also understand the complaints about the Xbox button causing it to launch.

I’ve gotten better about not accidentally activating Big Picture mode, but I agree it’s all too easy to do it carelessly!

A lot of good recommendations in here, some I’ve played, some I’m adding to my list!

I’ll share one that I haven’t seen in the thread yet: Crypt Custodian. You play as a ghost cat sentenced to clean garbage in the afterlife. Good mix of exploration and combat. I personally hate when combat keeps me from progressing in a story, so I like that they have Easy/Normal/Hard modes but that you can also further customize assists, like adding up to 3 extra hit points. You can also buy a market to show you the next place to go when you’re feeling stuck. Very good cozy-gamer territory.

The story wasn’t overly complex, but very sweet–the ending made me cry. I loved elements of the story like one of the bosses being the personification of grief.

I played it on XBox Game Pass, but it was worth paying for.

Animal Well.

No combat, big emphasis on (hard) puzzles and exploration. Great atmosphere. Played it on my Steam Deck.

pleasestopasking,

A lot of recs for this one, it might have to be my next!

I do this so much by accident in desktop mode on the Steamdeck with a Steam controller. I dunno why big picture mode is apparently bound to pressing the Steam button on the controller (not every time, just sometimes!), but why is it even bound to anything when I’ve just switched intentionally to desktop mode? Why would I switch away from gaming mode just to enable big picture? What’s the use case that they’re catering to here by making it so easy to accidentally be in this situation?

Anyhow, pretty amazing that this minor annoyance is almost the only thing to complain about with my Steamdeck experience. Best gaming console I’ve ever had.

This is a funky opinion, but I’m holding off on it because of how they handled Conan Exiles.

Zahille7,

what do you mean? I have Exiles but I haven’t played in a couple years, since before Siptah came out (but I did buy that expansion).

Justdaveisfine,

They kept rebalancing to chase the hardcore PvPers wants who ended up leaving anyways, started getting pushy with their microtransactions/battle pass (that were added in an update), and they added their Funcom launcher in an update.

Above all of that is there are still some ugly persistent bugs that have been huge problems for years now, many involving thralls which are pretty much required for late game content.

I won’t say Funcom did the worst job or anything that far, but they definitely put me in a ‘wait and see’ state for at least the first few major patches, as that will show what direction they want to take the game and who they’re focusing on for feedback.

What is big picture mode?

Vince,

Makes steam full screen and fully usable with just a controller

virku,

Thanks!

TriflingToad, (edited ) do gaming w Fuckin nuisance

for REAL. all my homies hate steam big picture

edit: I mean on PC when you’re not using a controller, it definitely has a use.
though tbh I don’t think the UI design is that great tbh. The switches homepage is better imo

Aspharr, do games w What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality

If you like space dogfighter sims, try Chorus. You can score it super cheap on sales and I think it’s a solid 6/10. Combat is fun and it’s nice to look at. Unfortunately the story has terrible pacing and kinda doesn’t make sense at times. Also, the missions get kinda repetitive. These two things really held it back for me, otherwise it’s a fairly good game.

Another, if you like top down shooters, is Subterrain. Doesn’t always go on sale, but when it does it’s dirt cheap because it’s like 10 years old at this point. It’s got some weird survival mechanics that I think are kinda pointless, but the gameplay and story were enough to keep me mildly entertained. I’d call this a “potato chip” type game. Not particularly good, but somehow kind of satisfying if you don’t think too much about it. Definitely a 6/10.

On another note, what’s y’all’s stance on the association that 5/10 = bad? I feel like it’s because people equate it to being 50% and associate that with bad due to school grades. I see it as an average score and when I give something a 5 or 6, that means I’m neutral to slightly positive feeling about it.

grueling_spool,

I don’t think a 5/10 game is necessarily bad, but it needs to have some kind of - I dont know, character? Niche appeal? - to shine for the players who are going to like it.

I’ll throw out Krater as an example. It’s not great, but it has a unique setting, great atmosphere, and some interesting ideas driving it. I kinda love it for its eccentricities in spite of the overall experience being a bit meh.

Aspharr,

I remember Krater! I played it for a while and I liked the atmosphere, but I only got so far before I saw how… 1-dimensional it was?

I don’t know how exactly to put it into words, but some games that aren’t so good I have a “see behind the curtain” moment. Once that happens I tend to quickly get turned off to a game because I feel like it’s not fun anymore. In Krater that happened when I realized that all the fights were essentially the same and equipment was all stat sticks with no unique qualities.

Pretty much what your characters did at the beginning of the game was what they did at mid game with no noteworthy changes. There were other characters you could sub in and that changed things up a little but the repetitiveness of it all really ruined it for me.

I agree that’s a really good example of a “meh” game and I think 5/10 is a very fair assessment.
