giant_smeeg, do games w Valve gives Steam Remote Play a long overdue upgrade

Can you steam windows games? Had a kid so I’m going to have to stream Starfield to my laptop

emogu,

Yep. Just set it so it launches to desktop instead of BP and you can launch anything from anywhere. There might be some finagling to do with controller input/mapping depending on the game/launcher but it should be fine in most cases.

funnystuff97,

Steam Remote Play is basically my Remote Desktop these days. Steam Link Box on the TV or Steam Link App from the phone, and I’m golden. It works surprisingly well with very little latency.

FracturedEel,

I’ve never tried to remote play what do you need for it to work

funnystuff97,

Steam and an Internet connection. That’s it. If you log in to the same Steam account on your PC and Phone/Steam Link/Steam Deck/etc, Steam will take care of everything and hook you up seamlessly. It’s worth trying out!

In fact i’d say this is a significant emergent feature that has been overlooked, you can set up a windows box in a dark corner of your house and stream games to your deck/laptop/phone/fridge without worrying about noise or compatibility.

I feel like valve needs to hire a guy to just sit around the office and occasionally go “hey uh, sounds like we could just polish up this edge case and market it as a rather mind-blowing feature?”

DarkThoughts, do gaming w New Steam RTS is basically a surprise Command and Conquer sequel

I'm not super interested in classic RTS anymore, thanks to 4X, but I'll keep an eye out for it and try the playtest. I still have my doubts that it will capture the same charm as the original C&C though. Especially someone like Kane will be hard to replace, and I feel he was such a big face for NOD that drove the whole story & mysteries forward.

Snipe_AT, do gaming w You can play Starfield on PC and Xbox even if you only buy it once
@Snipe_AT@lemmy.atay.dev avatar

That is awesome! Looking forward to the reviews I hope this game delivers everything promised!

HannahBecz,

If Todd Howard’s hyping of Oblivion, Fallout3, Fallout4, and Skyrim have taught me anything - the game will come nowhere to delivering anything promised - will be massively buggy - and I’ll easily sink 100s of hours into the game not caring in the least bit and having a blast the entire time. Purchasing it again and again on every platform as the years pass. Though with gamepass I suppose I don’t have to worry about purchasing it anymore.

While Morrowind was my entry into the series in 2002/2003 - I had never heard of it until my head chef at the time told me I needed to purchase it. His hype delivered. But I have no clue what the hype of Morrowind pre-release was like or what was promised vs delivered. But I imagine it was quite similar.

WarmSoda,

Only thing I remember pre Morrowind was advertising on graphics cards. My friends only knew about the game because I found the strategy guide at work (electronics boutique) before it came out and I wouldn’t stop talking about it.

I don’t think Todd Howard had his leather jacket at the time, so he wasn’t all over the place with promises.

Okalaydokalay,

This is me all day, every day.

I’m worried about preordering it and still going in with low expectations. I can’t believe everything Todd has been saying these last few years.

nondescript_citizen,

For the love of god I hope you haven’t pre-ordered. A fricken pox on the gaming industry.

Okalaydokalay,

Hell no! I do not ever preorder anything.

forgotaboutlaye,

Honestly I haven't been following the development or marketing for this game, but I like Todd's games so I know I'll end up buying it.

@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Without actually remembering anything too well, I do believe marketing around Morrowind was mostly graphics related. It was Beth’ switching to full on 3D and Morrowind was pretty advanced in that regard.

I mean, the screenshots in the magazins sold themselves to anyone with the mind for fantasy. Hell, it’s still the most beautiful and alien world to come out of Bethesda to date.

xuv, do gaming w Fallout meets Cities Skylines in brutal new Steam strategy game

The game is Homeseek and can be found here.

ThirdWorldOrder,

Thanks for the link. 68% yikes

daniskarma, do games w Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

The thing is that it’s kind of voluntary. Game developers could have use AI to develop the game and if they wouldn’t want to disclose it no one would know.

Unless the use of AI is the very crappy “AI art” that’s easy to notice the rest of uses would be very hard or actually impossible to figure it out to audit the legitimacy of the tag.

And this will end like r/art where the mods deleted a post accusing the artist of using AI when it was not AI and the final mod answer was “change your art style so it doesn’t look like AI”. A brutal witch-hunt in the end.

jjjalljs, do games w Elden Ring's most comprehensive and faithful fan-made overhaul launches its biggest update yet, with full multiplayer

Looks interesting. I didn’t really like convergence when I tried it, and the randomizer wasn’t as fun as I hoped for me.

It says it’s easy to install too, even on Linux. Anyone done so?

domi,
@domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

They have a simple .sh script you can run. Works fine on native Steam, couldn’t get it to run with Flatpak Steam.

Baggie,

Yeah installed it a few days ago, super easy. It comes with a Linux/steam deck install guide.

jjjalljs,

No luck for me:

Not finding a lot of hits online for this problem. I think updating glibc can be kind of dicey?

Baggie,

Might be permissions of whichever environment you’re running the sh in? Or potentially it wants that exact version, I’m only mildly competent at Linux at this point.

noxypaws, do games w Postal 2 Redux is bringing back the controversial FPS with a full remaster

As long as they never again include the

spoiler"fag hunter"

arcade/mini game that one of the physical releases had back in the day, and ideally fucking apologize for that shit, cool and I hope it goes well. Apart from that inexcusable bullshit, I’m a huge fan of Postal 2

DragonTypeWyvern,

“Birth of a Nation was so good except for the racism”

ArmoredThirteen, do games w Postal 2 Redux is bringing back the controversial FPS with a full remaster

Hell yeah I love to see it! Unironically one of my favorite games, some of the best level design out there, boldly critiques game design and the people who are offended by games. They had an anniversary update a while back that added content and qol out of nowhere 20 years after release. I’m excited

Excellent couch co-op, which is a rarity nowadays.

Coelacanth, do games w Thief has a new spiritual sequel, built by the Deus Ex and System Shock devs
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

If Warren Spector is actually involved I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt but I’m not thrilled about the competitive multiplayer aspect and the trailer presentation made me think “hero shooter” more than Deus Ex/Thief spiritual successor. Also Spector’s track record over the 20 post-Eidos years isn’t exactly glowing.

I hope they mean thief the Dark Project and not Thief (2014).

oce, do games w Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support
@oce@jlai.lu avatar

Does it also pull support for old Linux distributions?

DarkThoughts,

Not directly but I'd think they'd pull support for older system packages & kernels, which would eventually affect you. There's not really much of a reason not to upgrade your Linux distros though.

atro_city,

What support?

Mesophar,

It’s Steam; you might wish they had more support on Linux, but you can’t say that Steam doesn’t support Linux.

bdonvr,

Honestly I struggle to imagine how Steam could support it more.

tekato,

Steam client needs the XWayland translation layer to work on any modern DE, plus 32-bit libraries (which are not installed by default).

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

He could be alluding to valve only supporting their own distro and Ubuntu LTS officially.

Mesophar,

Maybe? But all the resources Valves puts towards supporting Proton benefits everyone gaming on Linux, even those not using a Steam client.

tekato,

They don’t support new technologies (Wayland), why would they drop support for old ones?

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

Steam has only ever supported the latest Ubuntu LTS and Steam OS.

daggermoon,

It still works the same on any distro with SystemD. Side note, I have seen people getting Steam to work on Void and Artix.

kittenzrulz123,

I use Steam and I run Alpine

daggermoon,

That’s pretty cool. Do you have a potato computer or do you just like a minimal system?

kittenzrulz123,

I have a minimal system on my Thinkpad T440p

daggermoon,

Nice, I have a T420 myself. I love that machine. I was running Peppermint OS for a while. Until version 11, Hasn’t been the same since 10. The update from 10 to 11 kind of took all the magic out of it for me. Now that machine runs EndeavourOS.

Auster, do games w Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support

Plenty of alternative stores that don’t require a launcher, so still possible to sideload games and therefore, 7 and 8 are not quite dead yet. (side note, but Vista is still also a decent system for gaming)

aeronmelon,

I like to invoke the old magic of installing from a disc.

Auster,

Reminds me of disc-based DRMs. With how moody some were, I’d need to dump the ISOs, mount them with WinCDemu, and keep them mounted for as long as I kept playing those games. 😬

MTK, do games w ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The Sims 4 just got surprise incest, and it's not even the first time

yZmHGnHnaB, do gaming w Half-Life YouTube legend Ross ‘Accursed Farms’ Scott, of Freeman’s Mind, is planning a lawsuit against Ubisoft over The Crew’s shutdown.
@yZmHGnHnaB@sh.itjust.works avatar

Seems like a pointless lawsuit and a waste of time, but I see where he’s coming from.

phillaholic,

I disagree that it’s pointless. You never know what a Judge is going to decide.
