HidingCat,

Probably not, and also why the delisting might not be that big a deal. The whales were always going to get the newest version anyway.

HidingCat,

MS's Adaptive Controller is actually really good, compared to the PS one. Giving easily adaptable 3.5mm jacks to every function was a genius decision.

HidingCat,

Hi Termus, I've worked in a non-profit that dealt with this kind of thing; half of our focus was on people with disabilities. What I like about the XAC is that it has a 3.5mm jack for every button that the XBox controller uses, and the advantage of that is that you can use ANY accessible input that is available under the sun. You didn't have to buy the MS or Logitech accessories for them. I'm wondering why you felt you had to do that?

I agree that Sony's effort is not as good. I feel like it was created for marketing and coolness first.

HidingCat,

Ah, I see. I'm quite sure we're in different parts of the world and I guess my experience with parts availability was different. Here the problem is more of cost, as I'm sure your experience has shown, these do get expensive very quick, sadly.

HidingCat,

I don't think it'll be a dominant form really. It's a more immersive method, but not many games will need that. Even for me that is still thinking about picking one up, I mostly am looking at using it for seated cockpit play.

HidingCat,

Capitalism and a free economy are good when it's serving customers by making the best product or service possible, while balancing that with paying labour to make that happen.

The problem is that nowadays, there's a third party to this for the megacorps: Shareholders, which is where the enshittification begins.

Valve is a private company, so it is not beholden to any external shareholders, which is why it's been able to chart its own course. Still, I do worry what will happen when Gabe steps down.

HidingCat,

Isn't it because the world's a bit shit too? XD

HidingCat,

Feels like being a patient gamer wins again. Will pick this up at some point.

Steam’s latest hit is a generic F2P co-op third-person shooter – but not the one that launched last week (www.vg247.com) angielski

The First Descendant, whose open cross-play beta is currently enjoying a healthy spot on Steam's most played games list. At the time of this writing, The First Descendant has over 77,591 concurrent players, and that figure continues to rise. It's easy to imagine it landing into the top 10 by the end of the day....

HidingCat,

Yea, I don't think the Chinese are as bad as them!

HidingCat,

I don't really like Nintendo's stuff that much, but really, that would be a bad outcome for the gaming industry as a whole.

HidingCat,

Sorry you got downvoted by this Lemmy circlejerk. There's a certain toxcicity in these parts; basically anything not Linux and offline with the slightest hint of privacy issues is downright hated here.

HidingCat,

Is it time for Macross Missile Massacre?

HidingCat,

How long is the campaign? Just wondering if it'll be worth the time as well.

HidingCat,

Thanks, that sounds short enough!

HidingCat,

Wow, just read half of it, it's a really murky situation (as the article mentions).

HidingCat,

Especially when it's being run by a terrible project manager like Chris Roberts. Dates will be missed.

I'm surprised they're putting more effort into Squadron 42, it's the only part I was interested in. Wonder if it'll actually be released.

HidingCat,

The PS fan boys are the least chill. See the PS blog whenever a PC version gets announced. Some of them are just incredibly partisan and sad.

HidingCat,

Because for the, it's their identiy. Their choice needs to "win", regardless of how stupid and self-defeating in the long run it is.

MechWarrior 5: Clans Stomping to PC, PlayStation and Xbox in 2024 from Piranha Games (www.techpowerup.com) angielski

Piranha Games revealed MechWarrior 5: Clans today, a new stand alone MechWarrior game coming to PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles next year. MechWarrior 5: Clans, while retaining the MechWarrior 5 designation, represents a transformative step forward in the MechWarrior 5 franchise. MechWarrior 5: Clans linear campaign will be an...

HidingCat,

MW5 was kinda underbaked right? I remember not-so-great reviews. Did you play it? How was it compared to say, MW3, which probably was my favourite in the series?

HidingCat,

So, how's the storyline like after the FedCom civil war? I haven't been following on BattleTech since.

HidingCat,

45 FOV sounds really narrow, aren't the headsets pushing like 100 degrees or so?

HidingCat,

Only if latency is really really low. VR is one of those things that's really sensitive to even the slightest bit of lag.

I don't mind cables if it's a single USB-C cable.

HidingCat,

Ah, ok. My reason to get a headset is for immersion with seated gameplay. Games like ETS2 and Elite:Dangerous.

HidingCat,

Ah right, I see what you mean. I was thinking of gaming that requires a separate computer, but like you said, there can be other ways to do that.

HidingCat,

Just read some details, it's a monthly fee too? Wouldn't that really screw over single-player games which don't do recurring revenue?

HidingCat,

Also why I don't want to play them. Oblivion sounded amazing but the moment I saw gameply with the NPCs, I was like, nah.

HidingCat,

PC38X is a reasonable headset, but I'm guessing Epos wanted higher margins but couldn't get them to stay in the business. As much cachet as the Sennheiser brand might have had, the gaming headset space is pretty competitive and there are plenty of decent headsets for not a lot of money.

HidingCat,

I disagree, unless it's the modmic, there are enough people who either don't have the space nor want to spend the money to properly place the mic (ie as near their face as possible). I'd rather they use some mediocre headset mic then place something that'd be otherwise decent like a Samson Go on a tiny tripod on the table next to their gaming keyboard, 20-30 cm away from their mouth.

What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending? angielski

The thought came to mind after reading a recent post about Baldurs Gate 3 here but it reminded me of the Japense only PSX game Mizzurna Falls where if you don’t perform a certain action early in the game you are prevented from getting a true ending. While this might not be a traditional soft lock because you can still progress...

HidingCat,

Fuck Sierra games, it's why I gave up on them and played only Lucasarts point-and-click adventure games.

HidingCat,

I got this on sale, because I liked the original games premise but didn't want to buy a MP-only game. I've yet to play it though. XD I hope it lives up to expecations.

HidingCat,

I'm not sure if you're serious (I don't do consoles, so if that was sarcasm it's lost on me), but does that mean they use a wired pro controller too?

HidingCat,

Don't the Joycons use Bluetooth, which are pretty laggy on their own? I know I absolutely do not like using BT mice.

HidingCat,

Unions, in Singapore?

Creative Media and Publishing Union (CMPU)

Holy shit a real un-

a branch of Singapore’s National Trade Union Congress

Oh well, nothing to see here, carry on.

HidingCat,

This is hilarious, a mod released within a week of the game's launch boosts it by 10 FPS. Why can modders do it but not the dev team?

HidingCat,

Man, just give him the time to work on the game. xD

Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?

Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?The immediate goal is to use it on my potato pc and play Batman Arkham Asylum.Using the 2.4ghz adapter immediately detected the controller and the game recognized it as well so I could play on the get go....

HidingCat,

In response to your header: Play games with it. :P

I wouldn't recommend Bluetooth as a first choice for connectivity, is there any reason you don't want to use the included wireless adapter?

As for games, I have no idea what you like/don't like. How potato of a PC are you using? FWIW some lower spec games I've played in the past several years with a controller included Cat Quest I and II, as well as the two South Park RPGs. There are also some fun co-op games like Overcooked, Moving Out and Unrailed. Overcooked really spawned a bunch of frantic co-op games that are low-spec and controller-friendly, so you can check that genre out as wlel.

HidingCat,

Loved the RPS interview with him. Went all out to confront him.

Help deciding PC upgrades

So…I’ve been increasingly struggling to run the latest games, as the age of my 6 years old desktop is starting to show, and Starfield denying my GPU just pissed me. I know it’s a bug and I can probably play it, but it’s outright the minimum for this game, and so I’d like a refresh of the worst, or should I consider a...

HidingCat,

GPU is almost always the first upgrade to go for.

Also, I went from a 1070 to a 6700 XT myself, can say it doubled framerates in games that needed it (Elite: Dangerous in planetside areas for example), so that's something for you to consider; if you're getting 30 FPS then it'll be a good upgrade, if you're only get 10 FPS it might not be enough.

HidingCat,

Ryzen 3700X, however I suggest to not worry about bottlenecking; even if does, it's likely to give you the most FPS per $ spent on upgrading. I ran on a i7 920 for the longest time (including the GTX 1070).

Japanese PC gaming saw another year of explosive growth (www.pcgamer.com)

Japanese gamers have continued to embrace the PC as a platform at staggering rates, jumping up 43% from 131.3 billion yen to 189.2 billion yen in 2022. That's a total size of about $1.3 billion US. The data comes from the latest report by Kadokawa ASCII Research Laboratories, an industry think tank which compiles yearly material...

HidingCat,

Think Valve only recently partnered with a distributor for East Asia, so the Steam Decks are slowly showing up in Japan and South Korea. Asus of course has a good distribution network, so generally where they're strong you'll see Allys. I still can't get a Steam Deck in a store, but can get an Ally (and probably the Legion Go).

HidingCat,

Yea, think Komodo is working with Edion for in-store sales. Saw an announcement somewhere when I was reading about Steam Deck sales in Asia (which sadly, just three countries in East Asia).

HidingCat,

Remember Strike Commander? The floppy disk version (with very limited speech as well) wanted some 40-50MB when the common HDD sizes were 80-120 MB. I had a larger-than-average 240MB and it'd still have hurt if I didn't have a CD-ROM drive to play the CD edition instead.

HidingCat,

The sentiment isn't wrong. Space is cheap now. Had Star field come out when SSDs were having GPU-like pricing I'd be more outraged, but prices are falling and having multi-terabyte systems shouldn't be an issue. Way cheaper than GPUs that can play the game, that's for sure.

HidingCat,

Yea, some kind of custom install would be good. Can't be hard to program a dialogue before download that'll select the right assets to install, saving both disk space and bandwidth.

HidingCat,

Descent doesn't get mentioned enough, along with the true gem, Descent: Freespace. Long and storied history there.

HidingCat,

Holy shit holy shit, I thought they ended development on Grim Dawn.

Downside is, I'll need to start a new character, the systems are dense enough that not playing for a while means picking up an existing character isn't the easiest of things. xD

PiBoy Mini: just add a Raspberry Pi and you've got a handheld retro gaming system (www.raspberrypi.com)

Retro gaming is a massively popular Raspberry Pi application, and while loading your favourite old video games onto an SD card is pretty straightforward, building the physical shell of a gaming system can be daunting for those of us without 3D printers or design skills of any kind. PiBoy Mini bridges that gap by providing...

HidingCat,

Hmm, I'm just thinking it's sto;; not really worth it, because for the value to be better the retro handhelds I think you need like quite a few upgrade cycles. which by then you might be outclassed in other areas like screen and what not; if I'm not wrong the Broadcom SoCs are really slow in comparison to what's out there, or did I misjudge the processing power?

HidingCat,

Might be neat then!
